The season between seasons matters.

School volleyball is wrapping up, and club season is right around the corner. That small window in between is the perfect opportunity to keep building instead of starting over.

Our volleyball-focused training and conditioning is designed to help athletes use this time to get stronger, faster, more explosive and better prepared for the demands of club season.

Don’t wait for the first practice to start getting ready. Use the gap to gain an edge.

Reach out to us or talk with one of our Train4Freedom coaches to get started.

Week 3 of the Freedom Fitness Challenge is here! This week, we’re jumping in and stepping back.

Your daily goal:
• 30 jumping jacks
• 30 reverse lunges

Complete them all at once or break them up throughout the day—just get those reps in!

Watch the video for demonstrations and ways to adjust each movement to your fitness level, from smaller ranges of motion and balance support to adding weight for an extra challenge.

Keep showing up. Keep building momentum. Who’s taking on Week 3? Let us know in the comments!

Week 2 of the Freedom Fitness Challenge is here — and this week, we’re hitting PLANKS!

Your challenge is cumulative: complete 90 seconds of planks per day. You can break it up however you’d like if needed — 3 30-second planks, 9 10-second planks, or any combination that works for you.

It looks simple… until that timer starts.

This week is all about building core strength, stability, and a little mental toughness. Watch the video, get the details, and get those planks in!

Who’s taking on Week 2 with us?

Drop a comment when you complete the challenge and tag someone who needs to join you.

🔥 OCTOBER FITNESS CHALLENGE — WEEK 1! 🔥

We’re kicking off October with a simple but effective movement: AIR SQUATS! 🏋️‍♂️

🎯 The Goal:
➡️ 50 air squats per day
➡️ 300 total for the week

Break them up however you want throughout the day — just get them done! 💪

Squat form basics:
-Feet about shoulder-width apart
-Keep your core engaged
-Push your hips back slightly
-Keep your knees tracking over your toes
-Keep your chest tall
-Squat down as comfortably as you can, aiming for your hips to reach about knee level
-Press through your feet and stand tall

Need to modify? No problem! 🙌

🪑 Beginner option: Use a chair, bench, or box. Squat down, lightly tap the surface, then stand back up.

🔥 Need more of a challenge? Grab a household weight and hold it between your hands while performing the same movement.

Remember: You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to keep moving!

Let’s get after it this week! 💪🔥

Who’s in? Drop a “DONE!” in the comments when you’ve completed Week 1!

Introducing the Freedom Fitness Challenge from Train4Freedom!

You don’t need a gym membership or equipment to start moving. The Freedom Fitness Challenge is open to everyone, especially those looking for a simple way to get started, build healthier habits, and connect with others.

Here’s how it works:
• A new challenge drops every Sunday with a video showing you how to perform the movement.
• Every movement requires no equipment, with options to make it easier or more challenging.
• You’ll have one week to complete the challenge.
• Return to that week’s Facebook post to share your progress and let us know when you’ve finished.
• Cheer on others and help keep each other moving!

Our first challenge launches Sunday, October 4. Join in from home, invite a neighbor, or make it a family activity. Wherever you’re starting, you’re welcome here.

Let’s get our whole community moving. Find your freedom!

WE’RE HIRING.

Train4Freedom is growing, and we’re looking for a few great people to grow with us.

We’re currently looking for:

1 Front Desk / Doer of All Things
You’ll greet members, answer questions, keep things moving, re-rack a weight when someone “forgets,” help with the cold plunge, solve problems we didn’t know existed, and generally be one of the people who keeps Train4Freedom running.

3 Personal Trainers
We’re looking for coaches who know their stuff, love working with people, and actually care about helping members get stronger, healthier, and more confident. If you’re passionate about coaching and want to build something with a growing fitness community, we want to talk.

We’re not just filling positions. We’re adding people to our team who believe in what we’re building.

Think you’d be a good fit?

DM us or give us a call to learn more and apply.
