I was born ready

This blog goes a little bit into the mindset of Workshop Gym and one of our founding principles. It looks at the "why" behind our programming and our approach to training in general.

But first, one of the most common excuses I've used in my life and I'd bet a pretty dollar you have to, is this; "I wasn't ready". Looking back in hindsight, I find myself questioning what readiness is? The answer is different for everyone I guess, but what today's introspection has taught me is that there is no point waiting until you are ready, no matter the circumstance bury your head and give it 100%.

Accept that obstacles and stall will occur and then find a way to either go over them, around them or if all else fails go straight through it! Ok ok, I went off on a tangent, let me bring it back to our Workshop ethos. At Workshop, we believe in a certain level of general physical preparedness, being the key to sustainable health and fitness. Now that doesn't mean we don't believe in competition, periodisation or peaking for a certain event. Much the contrary, we believe in keeping our members in an "operating window", a point at which it doesn't take much to get them in peak physical condition for whatever event that is. We coined the term S.P.P and it doesn't refer to specific physical preparedness. No, instead we have rephrased it as ‘Sustainable Physical Preparedness’ and put simply, it means being in a state of constant preparedness with easy "peaks" and easy maintenance.
