Chad's Gym

Strong bodies, kind hearts. The gym where nobody gets left on the bench.

Chadwick built this gym on one belief: fitness is for everyone, and nobody should ever feel out of place in a gym. First workout is free, the music is loud, and the strongest person in the room is whoever cheers the loudest for the beginner.

"Lift heavy. Rest hard. Be kind. In that order." - Chadwick

Workout ideas

Three tracks, pick the one that sounds like fun. Every session ends with five minutes of stretching and one high-five.

🏋️

Iron Track

Classic strength. Barbell basics, progressive overload, form before ego.

  • Squat, press, deadlift, row: 3 x 8
  • Add a little weight each week
  • One heavy day, one technique day
🔥

Engine Track

Conditioning that makes everything else easier. Stairs, sleds, ropes.

  • 20-minute circuits, work/rest 40/20
  • One long slow cardio day a week
  • Finish with a finisher, earn the smoothie
🧘

Foundation Track

Mobility, core, and balance. The stuff that keeps you moving at 90.

  • Daily 10-minute mobility flow
  • Core three times a week
  • Yoga on the rooftop, Saturdays

Stay fit for life

Chadwick's whole philosophy in five lines. Tape it to your fridge.

🚶

Walk everywhere

E2 cities are walkable for a reason. Ten thousand steps a day beats one heroic workout a week.

😴

Sleep like it matters

Muscles grow while you sleep. Eight hours, dark room, phone in the other room.

🥗

Eat like a grown-up

Protein at every meal, vegetables on half the plate, water before coffee. No diets, just habits.

👯

Train with people

You will skip a solo workout. You will not skip when your friends are waiting. Find your crew.

📈

Track something

One number: workouts per week, or minutes moved. What gets measured gets repeated.

💛

Rest is training

Rest days are when the work turns into results. Take them guilt-free.

Your first triathlon

Swim, bike, run. It sounds impossible until you do a sprint distance and realize it was the most fun Saturday of your year. Here is Chadwick's 8-week beginner plan, three sessions a week.

750m

Swim

Start with 4 x 100m, rest between. Build to 750m nonstop by week 6. The lake is calm and the water is warm.

20k

Bike

Two rides a week: one easy spin, one with hills. By week 8 you are holding 20k without stopping.

5k

Run

Run/walk intervals at first. Nobody cares about your pace. Finish the 5k smiling.
