Welcome to the Train716 Blog: Stronger in Every Way

Let’s be real: fitness isn’t just about what you lift. It’s about what you learn, what you feel, and what you become along the way.

So we’re launching this blog — not to give you some generic “5 Tips to Lose Belly Fat” content you could Google — but to give you something deeper:

• Insight into why we train the way we do
• Real talk on mindset, recovery, nutrition, and lifestyle
• Behind-the-scenes on programming decisions and challenge design
• Answers to questions you didn’t even know you had
• And maybe, just maybe, a few spicy memes and hot takes along the way 💥

This isn’t a place for fluff.
This is for the thinkers, the doers, the overthinkers who need a nudge, and the silent killers who never miss a day.
This is for you — the Train716 community.

Why We Train the Way We Do

At Train716, we don’t run random workouts or throw “WODs” at the wall to see what sticks. Everything we do is backed by science, periodization, and real-life results.

Our program runs in Seasons — 13-week macrocycles designed to:

• Build strength and conditioning in waves
• Avoid burnout and plateaus
• Improve movement quality and energy system development
• Keep training fun, fast-paced, and intentionally challenging

Each week is mapped for intensity. Each phase has a purpose. And every movement you see in class was chosen on purpose, not just because it looks cool on Instagram (though that helps).

We believe you can:

• Lift heavy and move well
• Train hard and recover smart
• Have structure and still feel free to push your own limits

This blog will break that all down — one post at a time.

What You Can Expect Here

• Train716 Philosophy Posts
  Why we program the way we do. How to approach class. Why we love EMOMs. What’s the deal with “Lift/Metcon”? You’ll see it all.
• Challenge & Program Deep Dives
  What’s different about ELEVATE? Why do we test Pacer? How do you win the Committed Club? We’ll peel back the curtain.
• Mindset & Lifestyle Tools
  Ever wonder why consistency is hard? Or why your sleep might be affecting your lifts? Or how to fuel performance without counting every gram? This is your spot.
• Member Spotlights & Coach Wisdom
  You’ll meet the legends of Train716 — people who show up, put in the work, and inspire the community. Coaches will drop some wisdom too. Possibly dad jokes. Sorry in advance.
• Hot Takes & Humor
  Because if we can’t laugh at our squat faces and failed box jumps, what are we even doing here?

Our Core Belief: Strength Is a Lifestyle

At Train716, we believe strength shows up in the gym and in how you handle stress.
In how you show up for your family.
In how you rebound from setbacks.
In how you choose to keep going — even on the hard days.

This blog is just one more way we help you build that strength.

Whether you're new to the crew, a 500 Club legend, or someone lurking on the edge of joining, this space is for learning, thinking, and leveling up.

You bring the grit — we’ll bring the guidance.

What’s Next?

Expect 1–2 blog drops each month to start.
We’ll always announce them in the member group and emails — and eventually archive them on the Train716 site for easy access.

We might even let you vote on future topics, submit questions for a Q&A, or guest-write a piece if you're feeling spicy.

Let's Do This

Thanks for being part of this ride.
Thanks for trusting the process, the coaches, and the chaos that is zone-based class rotation 😅
And thanks for being the kind of person who wants to grow — in the gym and beyond.

Now let’s get stronger. Smarter. And a little more jacked together.
