At BPFIT, one of the things that sets us apart is our in-house programming model. We’ll never outsource this part of what we do because nobody knows our community, our athletes, and our coaching philosophy better than our own team. We take tremendous pride in continually learning, evolving, and refining our approach to help you get the most out of your training. Whether you’re preparing for your first HYROX race or chasing a new personal best, we want you to understand how our programming works and, more importantly, how to use it to your advantage. With multiple class types available throughout the week, you have the flexibility to build a training schedule around your goals. But more options can sometimes mean more questions. How much strength training do you need? How often should you attend BPHYROX? Is one HYROX class enough? And where does BPSTRENGTH fit into the equation? Let’s...

We just came off one of the biggest weekends of the summer — the 4th of July. Cookouts, travel, late nights, a schedule that didn’t look anything like your normal routine. If you’re feeling a little off track, you’re not alone. So let’s talk about how to stay on track without trying to be perfect. You’ve probably heard the saying “1% better than yesterday.” That’s the mindset for the next few months. Not all-or-nothing. Just a few doable habits that keep you moving in the right direction, even when summer gets busy. Here are 3 I want you to focus on: 1. Set a monthly workout goal, not a weekly one Weekly goals sound great until you travel for a wedding, host out-of-town family, or your schedule gets flipped upside down by a heat wave. The second you miss a week, it feels like you failed. Shift the frequency goal...

At BluPrint Fitness, we believe real fitness is built through balance. Not balance in the easy, watered-down sense. We mean building a body that can perform under pressure, recover with confidence, and handle whatever challenge is in front of you. That’s why HYROX and CrossFit work so well together. Too often, people think they have to choose between endurance and strength. They assume they should either focus on building an engine or getting stronger. But the truth is, the best athletes and the most well-rounded adults need both. Endurance helps you keep going when things get tough. Strength gives you the power and durability to keep performing at a high level. When you combine HYROX training with CrossFit, you don’t just improve one piece of fitness. You build a stronger, more capable version of yourself. HYROX Builds Endurance, Grit, and Capacity HYROX is one of the clearest tests of functional endurance available today. It challenges...

I’m sitting down next to my two-year-old at 9:00am on a Tuesday, thinking about how much has already been accomplished early in the day. Not by want, but by necessity. And if you are a busy professional like myself, you know exactly what I’m talking about. That feeling that once the day gets going and you start checking things off your daily to-do list, there’s no stopping that steam engine—especially for a workout. Enter the morning workout schedule. Prior to life taking over, being pulled in multiple directions, and being the go-getter that you are, getting your workout done before the day really starts is a secret weapon when it comes to creating long-term consistency and wellness results. If you are already a morning person, this may not be much of a transition for you to take on. But if you wake in the morning like a bear (Chicago Bear...
