Bags and bikes.

Not every workout has to be complicated.

Sometimes the goal is simple: move something heavy, push the engine, recover, repeat.

Simple doesn’t mean easy

It should look good.
That’s the minimum.

What matters more is what it does when you ask more of it.

When they believe in it — KEEP BUILDING.

When they don’t — KEEP BUILDING.

When they show up — KEEP BUILDING.

When they don’t — KEEP BUILDING.

When it works — KEEP BUILDING.

When it doesn’t — KEEP BUILDING.

When you’re sure — KEEP BUILDING.

When you’re not — KEEP BUILDING.

KEEP BUILDING.

STORY // 004 — ALISSA

ORIGIN

Training started as a way for Alissa to connect.

Growing up, making friends and socializing didn’t always come easily. The gym gave her a community — people pursuing something together and trying to become better versions of themselves.

Years later, that’s still what training gives her: a place to share, learn and connect with other athletes. And increasingly, a place where she’s been able to share her faith.

PURSUIT

Today, Alissa is pursuing a career as a certified athletic trainer at a junior college.

Her work is centered around building relationships with her athletes and creating treatment plans that allow them to keep doing the sports they love.

When things get difficult, she falls back on her faith — trusting that God’s plan is greater than her own.

STRENGTH

For Alissa, strength isn’t just physical.

It’s the ability to keep moving when everything in you wants to quit and move on.

It’s also part of what connected her to CHLKDUP in the first place — the realness, the dedication to hard work, and a brand built around encouraging strength on both the easy days and the hard ones.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ten years from now, Alissa doesn’t need people to remember a lift, a career accomplishment or anything she built.

She hopes they’ll remember something simpler:

That she was kind.
That she showed patience.
That she treated people with respect.

STORY // 003

When I decided to start telling the stories of the people who’ve chosen CHLKDUP, I knew it would give me the opportunity to tell the stories of some of my favorite people on the planet.

Steve Harlow is one of those people.

He isn’t just someone who believed in CHLKDUP. He’s a brother who’s watched me bleed for this brand, challenged me when I needed it, encouraged me when things got hard, and stood beside me long before there was much reason to.

I’m honored to tell his story.

ORIGIN

Harlow’s relationship with training started with gymnastics as a kid before moving into weightlifting and eventually functional fitness.

“I know training is the key to aging well and gives you the ability to enjoy your later years.”

For Harlow, training isn’t about chasing numbers anymore. It’s about building a body that’s capable of carrying him through every season of life.

PURSUIT

Today, Harlow is working to regain consistency in his own training while building Caffeinated & Confident into its next chapter and making sure he’s showing up where his family needs him most.

“Family is for sure a significant motivator, but also knowing that I have many reps in and can handle the challenge.”

When I asked him what strength means today, his answer had nothing to do with the weight on the bar.

“Strength is how someone handles time under tension. Can they rebound after long periods of hard times? Will they totally change who they are when good times are in abundance?”

WHY IT MATTERS

When I asked Harlow why he got behind CHLKDUP so early, his answer reminded me why I’ve always respected him.

“I saw CHLKDUP as a really great product that was working to build up the community around it. So I had to get on board with that movement.”

At the end of every Story //, I’ll ask the same question.

Ten years from now, what do you hope people can say about the way you lived, the things you built, and the people you impacted?

Harlow’s answer was simple.

“I hope they don’t have to say anything. I hope if my name is mentioned, they simply smile and are filled with pure elation.”

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the workout.

It’s knowing where to begin.

We get it.

Start with three classes. No Cost. No Pressure.
