Week 1 (Feb 1-Feb 8th): Control The Controllables
This week your focus is on what is inside of your control. You don’t control the workout. You don’t control the weight. You don’t control the weather, the traffic, or other people. You control your breath, effort, attitude, and standards. That’s it. That’s the game. ⚔️ Challenge (7 days): Before every session, say out loud: “Breath. Effort. Attitude. Standards.” Then pick ONE to focus on that day. ⚔️ Rules: - If something external annoys you (music, temp, programming, someone else), you don’t speak on it. - You take one breath and return to your focus (B/E/A/S). ⚔️ Comment Here: 1. Which controllable are you focusing on this week? 2. What’s the #1 external thing you usually blame? ⚔️ Post (End of Week): 1. What did you learn about yourself? 2. How will you take what you learned and apply it in the future, inside and outside the gym?

This week my focus is on my attitude, no pity, no whining, no pessimism or apathy. Externally I love to blame society or people in positions of power for the way things are (outside the gym), inside I usually like to blame things like my sleep or lack of recovery etc and that give me an out to not try as hard...not this week!
Who Am I, Who Are You
Hey everyone, I’m Sean. I’m based in Austin, Texas and I run UpReach CrossFit and Stellar Strength Barbell! I have been a coach for 13 years and love to help people build themselves up inside and outside the gym! I built this community because I don’t see the gym as “just fitness.” For me it’s where I’ve learned to control the controllables, my breath, my effort, my attitude, especially when life gets loud and chaotic. Why I’m here: to build a room full of people who treat training like a training ground for life: calm under pressure, disciplined when no one’s watching, and capable of leading themselves (and others) with presence. If you’re here for that… you’re in the right place. 🏛️⚔️ Drop your intro below:Name / Where you’re from / What you’re training for (in life, not just the gym).

The Codes
Think of this as your weekly focus. Many of us who train go in with a focus on how we want to lose weight, gain muscle, or maybe hit a PR. However, these weekly codes (focuses) will help you shift and also focus on how we can train our minds, our hearts, and our character. Each week we will have a new Code, they will repeat at times. I will post the weekly code on Sundays, at some point during the week comment how its going for you, what did you learn, how were you challenged etc. This is what sets us apart as a community, we train the body and the mind!

Here is where we want you to tell us a WIN you had for the week, whether it be a first pull-up, a new PR, your first OPEN, or a mental win like not giving up on yourself, staying calm and accepting etc. If you have video lets see it!
