Find Your People: The Power of Community in Crushing Big Goals
If you’ve ever tried to hit a new PR, grind through a tough THP training session, or train for something that felt just out of reach, you know one thing: it’s a whole lot easier when you’re not doing it alone.
Sure, solo discipline is part of the game. But if you're serious about pushing your limits—whether it's in the gym, in business, or in life—you need more than motivation. You need a crew.
Welcome to the secret weapon of high performers: COMMUNITY.
Why Going At It Alone Will Only Get You So Far
Let’s be honest: most of us can white-knuckle our way through a goal or two. But sustained progress? That next-level version of you? That comes from locking arms with others who get it.
People who aren’t surprised when you say you're doing two-a-days, running your company, and waking up at 5 a.m. for a cold plunge because you like it. People who aren’t rolling their eyes when you say you’re dialing in macros or playing 36 holes. People who live in the mindset of: “Let’s do hard things—for fun.”
When you find that kind of community, everything changes.
Your workouts get sharper. Your excuses get quieter. Your goals get bigger. And suddenly, the things that used to feel impossible? They start looking like warm-ups.
Fitness Is Better with a Squad
There’s something powerful about moving, sweating, and pushing your limits alongside other people who are dialed in. Whether it’s a training partner, a THP session, or a group chat that celebrates every deadlift and discipline win—it matters. Even if you're following a different program than those in session with you, being surrounded by like-minded individuals all striving to become their best selves creates an energy that fuels progress—it makes all the difference!
Why? Because energy is contagious. Progress is contagious. And being surrounded by people who raise the bar doesn’t just motivate you—it transforms you.
Need to level up your training? Surround yourself with people whose “normal” is your “stretch.” Want to stick to your nutrition goals? Hang out with people who think meal prep is a non-negotiable, not a punishment. Trying to balance business, fitness, and life without burning out? Get around people who understand the hustle—and still prioritize their health.
Hard Things Get Easier When You’re Not Alone
Let’s face it: chasing big goals can get lonely. Not everyone understands why you’d choose the early workout over a late night out, or why “vacation” still includes a gym.
But when you find people who do get it? Who thinks discomfort is a gateway to growth and that challenge is a form of celebration? That’s when you really start to thrive.
Because here’s the deal—discipline is powerful, but shared discipline is next-level. A great community doesn’t just support you on the good days. They show up when you want to quit. They call you out (and lift you up). And they remind you that this journey isn’t just about results—it’s about becoming the kind of person who chooses the climb.
Build Your Inner Circle Like You Build Your Body
Be intentional. Just like how you schedule your THP sessions or make time for recovery, you need to curate your people.
Ask yourself:
- Who pushes me to be better?
- Who celebrates my wins and calls out my blind spots?
- Who’s walking the same path—or better yet, a few steps ahead?
Because the truth is, success in fitness—and life—is a team sport. And the right people will help you lift heavier, run further, recover smarter, and dream bigger.
Final Set: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Whatever mountain you’re climbing—whether it’s building a business, transforming your body, or chasing a massive personal goal—don’t go solo. Find your people. Train together. Grow together. Win together.
In the gym and in life, the most powerful momentum comes from moving in sync with others who match your intensity and challenge your limits.
So grab your crew, set the bar high, and get after it. Because greatness loves company.
