POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We added more HYROX engine classes. More opportunities to build your engine Monday/Wednesday evenings 7-8pm and Tuesday/Thursday mornings 7-8am.

The Engine classes are more than just the workout. It’s a way to keep working when things get uncomfortable. And a way to level up your fitness and life, whether you’re racing in HYROX or not.

The biggest part is the people in the room. Show up at whatever level you’re at. Just start. Work hard. And leave feeling better than when you walked in.

The goal wasn’t to create another workout. It’s to create a place surrounded by people who want to build a higher standard for themselves. Build confidence. And show that you’re capable of much more, in an environment that brings more out of you. The energy is unreal.

Build momentum. Become someone more resilient. Not just by one workout, but by building something better over time both physically and mentally.

Come find your time. Come try a class and see what it’s about. Come join the team of like minded people. Engines are here to stay.

Huge thank you @cinchhousemarketing for capturing this class. There is so much in the room that is can only be captured by the energy, the people, and what the Engine classes are truly about.

Comment or message us if you’ve been thinking about it and want in.

DC YOU WERE AWESOME! Racing my first solo and having so many members from our engine team complete their own races made it so special. Everyone watched each other races, cheering loud through others and smiling the whole time through their own.

There’s just something so awesome about all training for the same sport and have a goal to chase and scratch that competitive itch. Days where new things click, days where it will feel harder than usual. Everyday is a new day to push and become that 1% better. And hard work sure does pay off!!!!!

HYROX is something special because you don’t need to be an elite athlete or even have a running background to start. Just be willing to the first step and just START. Everyone starts somewhere. And we are all in it together. Get uncomfortable, embrace it. Endure the hard times and keep showing up. You truly become an unbreakable force by challenging yourself and grow confident.

As both an athlete and a coach, I will NEVER get tired of this. The dedication and work everyone has put in, and the way we all push each other to become better versions of ourselves that we may have never thought of, is something I’m extremely proud to be apart of. Proud of everyone crushing their race and having a good time throughout, proud of everyone continuing to still build the engine and chase the next goal, and beyond grateful for people putting their trust in me to coach them. And it gives so much back to you.

The feeling of completing an engine class, bettering your run time, going 1 extra unbroken rep, finding the rhythm that works, and on and on… it’s indescribable and i would say to anyone who is curious about HYROX. Do it. Come to the engine classes. Sign up for a race. Do it with a partner. Do it solo. Whatever your fitness goals are. You won’t regret coming to build the engine and build a better you. Challenge yourself to become the best version of yourself you can possibly become. Grateful for this crew + team, grateful for @coach_tom_icon for always believing in me, and grateful to be surrounded by people who only continue to rise together.
This is only the beginning.

Currently on the train on the way to DC to kick off the 2026-2027 SEASONNNN!!!!!! Racing open solo, my first ever solo…

The thought of that and saying it out loud was something I would’ve never imagined a year ago. I love this sport. I love the people, spectators, and athletes. The hard days. The easy ones. And everything between.

Racing and training as taught me so much about myself as an athlete and as a person. Yeah it’s the same race everytime, but each training session and every race you push yourself in a new way. New time. More efficient in a station. Different feeling when you cross the finish line.

More than anything it’s taught me an extreme amount of discipline, and to never give up. On myself, and on others. And being able to coach others in HYROX has taught me a tremendous amount. Being able to teach people from my own experience and gaining knowledge from being a coach, makes me love what I do more and more every day.

To anyone racing: having the courage to even sign up for something like this says a lot. To try something new. To give yourself a challenge you didn’t think you were capable of. Push yourself, and do it for you. Prove to yourself that you are capable of much more than you think.
It’s gives you a purpose to chase goals and keeps you coming back for more.

I can’t wait to do what I love. With people I love. And this season, chasing bigger goals than I had ever imagined.
Open solo this Friday. Nashville Pro Solo in December. Chicago Pro Solo in February. And many more to come.

My favorite kind of “busy”. My kind of vibe.

If you follow my personal Instagram, you’ll see my bio says “enjoy being while becoming” and I feel like lately I’ve really been in that phase of my life. Enjoying all that it takes to reach the goals I have. It’s hard not to enjoy it when I love the work. Prepping for Pro Nashville in December and DC IN 9 DAY!!! FOR OPEN WOMENS SOLO!!! And in February, SOLO PRO IN CHICAGO!!!! 😆 I’m excited to say the least

This was a special one. We had 7 different groups of solos + doubles race in our HYROX Sim on Sunday morning.

It was one of the many great reminders of why I love what I do, and why I love HYROX. Being both the coach from the outside perspective and the athlete that’s in it racing too.

Everyone was there for their own different reason. A test to push the comfort zone. Practice pacing. Settle into discomfort. And get a taste (or a giant mouthful lol) of HYROX.

But the race itself was only a small part of what made yesterday so amazing.
Watching everyone get a little more comfortable outside of their comfort zone and finish their sim to then immediately start cheering for everyone else in the room. Even cheering each other on mid sled, run, erg, jump, and wall ball.
Thats what made it so great.

Those little moments are the reasons why we do these things. Not just to do one hard thing and say yay. Great things come from staying committed day after day. Learning what you can handle and where you can get better.

And I did the sim again too. It’s important to me to taste my own medicine so that I can continue to become a better coach everyday, and be able to coach from the athletes perspective.

So proud of everyone who raced. Everyone got something out of it and walked away with something to grow from.
I’m so proud to be a coach. And I’m so excited to see where things go from here. We are building something amazing.

HYROX isn’t just about being able to run.

It’s about what happens after the run.

Can you push a sled when your legs are already cooked?
Can you keep moving when your heart rate is through the roof?
Can you recover fast enough to do it all over again?

That’s exactly what we’re training for.

🏃 Engine Training
Tuesdays & Thursdays
Build your aerobic engine, improve your pacing and learn how to stay efficient under fatigue.

🔥 HYROX Simulation
Sunday, August 16
A chance to put it all together. Test yourself, find your weaknesses and see where your training is paying off.

Whether you’re signed up for a race or just looking for a new challenge, these sessions are built to make you harder to break.

Message us to reserve your spot.

At Trident, we believe you should never ask people to go somewhere you’re unwilling to go yourself.

Coach Bre just registered for her first HYROX Pro race.

She’ll still be coaching every week. She’ll still be pouring into our members. But now she’ll also be stepping onto one of the biggest stages in the sport to see exactly what she’s capable of.

Let’s go, Bre. We are all behind you!👏👏

Clips and Snips from the past few weeks!

A lot of hard things, and a lot of people showing up to do the hard things.
HYROX prep, my first SOLO Hyrox simulation prepping for DC in September, people building their engines (some also prepping for DC in September!), lotss of coaching, running, lifts, RECOVERY, and everything in between.

The past few weeks have been a great reminder that there is so much to learn and so much value in doing things that challenge you.
NOT because you always have to keep going harder and harder and only do hard workouts… but because growth happens when you’re willing to step outside of what feels familiar and easy to you, whatever that may be.
You don’t always have to feel ready. You just have to be willing to show up. Learn. And put in the work.

Here’s to doing hard things, kicking doubt in the ass, and seeing what happens when you just keep going!

My face during this says it all 🫪

We had this circuit as the “veggies” in our program when we were training for HYROX NYC, this was apart of our upper body lift, and as much as I hate it in the moment… boy does it get the shoulder juices flowing. 😅

First, always warm up before. We know this by now. And then add this in one of your training days

• Iso Lateral Raises
• Iso Alt. Lateral Raises
• Negative Lateral Raises
• Regular Lateral Raises
• Bottom Half Lateral Raises

🥩“Meat”— DB chest supported row
🥔“Potatoes”— Eccentric Bench press + Band Pull Apart’s
🥕 “Veggies”— this diabolical shoulder circuit…
🍰 “Dessert”— Farmer Carries

P.S!! The term “Lat” Raise does NOT involve your Latissimus dorsi muscle (a part of your back!), it’s your lateral delts (deltoids) working to pull away from your body

Add this to your upper body day, embrace the burn and don’t forget to breathe through the work👩‍🍳

The other day at one of the Engine classes I was coaching, I said this to close off the class (welcome to anyone btw) while we were ending with box breathing

Each day is a chance to grow, improve, and move closer to your goals, no matter how small the progress may seem.
Every morning, you wake up with a choice.
You can stay where you are, or you can choose to challenge yourself.
To move your body. To do the hard thing. To embrace the discomfort that comes with becoming who you want to be and where you want to go.
That choice, repeated day after day, is what creates real change.
That choice is YOURS.
Small steps lead to big change, and success isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, staying consistent, staying disciplined, and trusting the power of effort.
And over time, those 1% improvements compound into something extraordinary.
People who are rewarded are the ones who stay patient, not panicked. Keep going. Trust the process. You’re building something. One choice, one step, and 1% at a time.
The choice is yours.

Come make that choice for yourself 7am-8am Tuesday & Thursdays with the engine classes. You don’t need to already be a member of @tridentlewes — this is for anyone and everyone. Made to give you that 1% every week.
HYROX Engine Memberships, packages, and drop-in’s all are available in MindBody!!!
I’ll see you there, ready to work!

Before you ask to how get stronger, run faster, and recover better..
You can’t do it by UNDERfueling.

Plenty of times people are training super hard, but not eating enough to support the work that they’re doing.

And that was me too at one point. Wondering why I never saw progress. Felt like crap during my workouts and never had the energy. And my body actually did a reverse on what I wanted it to do.

So I started to fuel the way I should.. that’s when I saw my progress and performance finally change for the better

Whether your goal is to build muscle, lose fat, HYROX, or simply just to move better…progress requires CONSISTENCY.
Not just in training, but all throughout the day too.

Prioritize protein. Dont fear carbs. Eat healthy fats. Get quality MEALS in.
Because what you do outside the gym matters just as much as what you do inside.

Stop trying to “earn” your food. You get one body, so take care of it.

You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to have a system for yourself & your life so that you CAN stay consistent and fuel the way you should be.
