Islander LIVE & ON-DEMAND This mandatory closure has got nothin' on us! Still going to bring our whole coaching team and awesome at home programming to all our members. 7 days a week, morning and night. ... Each of our WODs have 4 versions. 1. Prescribed (assuming you have access to most equipment) 2. Scaled (less technical) 3. Minimal Gear Version (same stimulus but less gear) 4. Bodyweight only So regardless of what equipment you have or don't, you'll be able to take advantage of working out at home with our program Current members, expect an email later this morning with all the deets on the new schedule and how to tune in. Much love, Heather

SUNDAY MINDSET Often our world looks at individuals such as the Rock, and chalk him up to being gifted. Or naturally talented. Yet he would put it a very different way. Focus and effort. Because we don’t see the painstaking hours behind closed doors, the long nights and early mornings, it looks so natural for him. So easy. But as Vince Lombardi once said, The man on top of the mountain didn’t fall there. Nothing in life happens by accident.... All that matters is two things: Where do we want to go (focus), and how hard do we want to work for it (effort). Athlete: @tysmithcf Photo: @dave_howells_photo
