October monthly newsletter

The Herd – October 2025

Hello Athletes,

September was all about the legs! Our most attended day of the week was Monday, and we wrapped up the month celebrating a huge milestone — the gym officially finished its 15th year in business. Whoot whoot! 🎉 A big thank you to all of you for making our community so strong.

As we kick off October, we’re starting the first week of our strict press cycle. Each week, the strict press will be paired with a complementary movement designed to strengthen your shoulders. Be sure to show up on strength days and log your weights in Wodify to track your progress!

This month’s focus is Mindset. Throughout October, expect to see workouts that challenge you to stay locked in on the task at hand. Fitness isn’t always about flashy results — sometimes it’s about putting your head down, grinding through, and trusting the process. As coaches, we’re excited to guide you through this mental side of training.

October will also bring benchmarks including the 2K row and the :45s max-calorie bike, giving you a chance to test your endurance and grit. Plus, we’ll continue preparing with CHAD1000X training leading up to the Hero workout on November 11.

Here’s to an exciting new month — let’s get after it!
