  Should you Take time of if you get an injury 16.06.2026 7min

  🎙️ Everyday Strength Project Podcast Should You Work Out While Injured? This week we tackle a question I hear all the time: "Should I keep working out if I'm injured?" For most people, the answer is yes. Now, that doesn't mean ignoring pain or trying to be a hero. It means finding ways to keep moving and training safely while your body heals. Too often people get hurt, stop doing everything, and then a few weeks later they feel even worse. They're stiffer, weaker, more deconditioned, and now they're trying to recover from the injury and the loss of fitness. In this episode, we talk about the difference between training through an injury and training around an injury. We discuss how to modify movements, adjust intensity, and continue building strength without making things worse. The reality is that movement is often one of the best things you can do for recovery. In many cases, completely shutting down isn't the answer. If you've ever wondered whether you should keep lifting, walking, hiking, boxing, or exercising while dealing with an injury, this episode is for you. Because getting hurt doesn't mean you have to stop moving. It just means you might need a different game plan for a while. 🎧 Give it a listen and let us know what you think. #EverydayStrengthProject 💪

  leadership by building community 05.06.2026 16min

  When Megan and I opened our gyms, we didn't set out to become leaders. Honestly, we just wanted to create a place where people could get stronger, healthier, and feel like they belonged. What happened next surprised us. Over the years, the community that formed around Strength Warehouse and BOXiT became something much bigger than a gym. It became a place where friendships were built, confidence was restored, goals were achieved, and people showed up for each other during life's highs and lows. Somewhere along the way, we realized that leadership wasn't about having a title or standing at the front of the room. Leadership happened because people trusted us to help guide the culture, protect the community, and continue creating an environment where others could thrive. In this episode of the Everyday Strength Project, I share what Megan and I have learned from building communities rather than simply building businesses. We talk about how leadership often finds you when you focus on serving others, why strong communities create strong leaders, and how the relationships we build can have a bigger impact than we ever imagined. If you've ever wondered how leadership develops naturally, how community shapes culture, or how ordinary people can create extraordinary impact, this episode is for you. Because sometimes leadership isn't something you chase. It's something that grows when you invest in people.

  Shockwave therapy 27.05.2026 13min

  On this episode of The Everyday Strength Project, I sit down and talk about my experience using shockwave therapy during my shoulder recovery journey. As someone who loves lifting, competing, working with my hands, and staying active, shoulder pain was starting to impact a lot more than just training. We dive into what shockwave therapy actually is, what the treatments felt like, why I decided to try it, and the changes I've noticed throughout recovery. I also talk honestly about the frustrations that come with injuries, trying to balance recovery with training, and the mental side of slowing down when your body forces you to. This episode is for anyone dealing with nagging injuries, joint pain, setbacks in training, or just wanting to hear a real conversation about recovery and staying in the game long term. Strength isn't just about lifting heavy. Sometimes it's about doing the work to heal so you can keep showing up.

  🎙️ Episode Title: Why Endurance Athletes Need Strength Training (and Why Franchise Gyms Miss the Mark) Summary: In this episode, Coach Megan dives into one of the most overlooked keys to long-term performance and injury prevention for outdoor enthusiasts—strength training. Living in a highly active area where biking, hiking, skiing, and running are a way of life, it's easy to prioritize endurance while ignoring the foundational benefits of getting stronger. We break down why strength training is essential for enhancing endurance, preventing injuries, and staying active for the long haul. Plus, we talk about how most franchise gyms claim to support strength goals but rarely provide the intentional programming or coaching needed to make real progress. At Strength Warehouse, we do things differently—and we're here to show you how.
