MOVE THE DIRT

Move the Dirt

"Training is like moving a big ass pile of dirt. Some days you use a shovel, some days you use a spoon — but as long as you move some dirt every day, you’re headed in the right direction."
– John Welbourn

This quote has stuck with me for years.
It’s shaped not just how I approach training — but how I run Train716, how I build habits, and how I show up when things feel heavy.

Because let’s be honest: not every day is a shovel day.
Some days, it’s a full grind. Others, it’s a win just to show up, breathe, and put your name on the whiteboard.
But either way — we move dirt.

Consistency > Intensity

We live in a world that glorifies “go hard or go home.”
But the real ones — the ones who get stronger, leaner, fitter, and more resilient over time — aren’t swinging a sledgehammer every day.

They’re showing up with whatever tool they’ve got.

• Feeling strong? Grab the shovel and dig deep.
• Feeling tired? Use the spoon — walk through the door, move with intent, and live to train another day.
• Feeling defeated? Just get in the room. Let the crew carry you. Move something.

Progress isn’t always obvious. And it's rarely linear.

But if you trust the process, follow the program, and stay consistent, the results pile up.

Just like the dirt.

At Train716…

We don’t expect perfection.
We expect effort.
We expect honesty.
We expect you to show up — even if it’s just with a spoon.

Because every rep, every breath, every sweaty high-five is another scoop forward.

So next time you’re doubting yourself…

Ask one question:

“Did I move the dirt today?”

If the answer is yes — you’re winning.
