John & Sarah on Making Strength a Family Priority

Quick Summary :

Busy careers, teenagers at home, and a calendar that never lets up—John (college coach) and Sarah (marketing exec) share how GTS helped them escape the start-stop cycle and make strength training a true family priority. We talk identity shifts (“I’m someone who shows up”), why coach-led structure beats DIY programs, and the culture at GTS: low-pressure, high-standards, and genuinely social. Sarah speaks to women 40+ about feeling welcomed, getting stronger without “class pressure,” and how lifting unlocked progress in yoga and life. John breaks down “training to be 80,” gentle accountability, and why consistency is better than hero workouts. We also riff on community streaks (never miss two days), “Daily Mile,” and team challenges inside our Circle group. Watch for real stories, practical takeaways, and the reminder that showing up—imperfectly—wins.

Episode Highlights:

• Coach-led structure > decision fatigue: “It took the mental load off and made progress predictable.”

• Identity shift: “I’m someone who shows up—even when it’s not perfect.”

• Women at GTS: welcoming, professional, and genuinely social (yes, brunch happens).

• “Training to be 80”: health as the real retirement plan.

• Family routine: Saturday lifts together, healthy accountability at home.

• Community momentum: streaks, the Daily Mile, and simple challenges that keep you moving.
