Imagine a fitness program that challenges you daily, that builds strength without sacrificing longevity, and creates a space where both seasoned athletes and newcomers feel equally at home. That's exactly what coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic and guest coach Michael DelaTorre @thecoachmiked are creating with Outlast @outlast_fitness, their bold new venture at Bison Fitness.
This episode takes you behind the scenes of their biggest project to date. After years of coaching CrossFit, they recognized a critical gap in the fitness landscape - many people need structured training with quality coaching but are either intimidated by CrossFit's intensity or finding themselves unable to recover from it as they age and life stressors accumulate.
Outlast's programming philosophy eliminates prescribed weights and competitive scoring, replacing them with suggested rep ranges and an emphasis on movement quality. This creates an environment where members can push themselves appropriately without the pressure that often comes with CrossFit's competitive nature. As coach Mike beautifully articulates, "This is a great place to get yourself physically and mentally reset, take some pressure off yourself."
The team candidly discusses their fears and excitement about this new endeavor. From programming challenges to creating the right atmosphere, they share the real concerns that come with launching something truly innovative. Their authenticity shines through when discussing the balance between business necessity and their genuine desire to serve more people through fitness.
Perhaps most compelling is their vision of Outlast as a bridge - CrossFitters can use it as a recovery option while maintaining fitness, while newcomers can build strength and confidence before potentially exploring more intense training. This creates a unique common ground where different fitness backgrounds converge in pursuit of sustainable results.
Ready to experience fitness that leaves you energized rather than depleted? Join the Outlast community for their free trial week and discover how to build strength and capacity that truly lasts a lifetime.
