🔥 Phoenix Rising Weekly Announcements – Week of September 21st

Welcome to Week 4 of Superhero September—our final push before we roll into Rucktober. This is the last week to prove to yourself that you can carry the load, finish strong, and step into October with grit already forged.

Quote of the Week

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” — Robert F. Kennedy

Greatness doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from pushing into risk, testing your limits, and daring to fall short. That’s how you rise stronger.

🧠 Mindset Challenge of the Week

Dare to Fail Forward. This week, take on one movement, workout, or skill that you’ve been avoiding because you’re afraid of failing. Whether it’s a heavy lift, double-unders, handstand practice, or a Hero WOD unbroken—go after it. 💬 Share what you chose, how it went, and what you learned in the community.

🔥 Final Push for September: Superhero September Challenge

This is the last week of our September challenge.

Time to lock in:

✅ Complete your final Hero WOD of the month

✅ Add a weighted carry variation (sandbag, dumbbells, ruck, anything heavy)

✅ Log your workout inside the group

📍 Find this week’s WOD inside the Daily Challenges & Events Discussion Board

Remember: Hero WODs aren’t about looking good—they’re about grit, resilience, and honoring effort beyond ourselves. Finish this month with everything you’ve got.

💬 Post your completion updates—and share how you’re closing out Superhero September.
