We’ve got just a couple of spots left for the Winter Warrior Combine — and we’re officially putting in our T-shirt order on November 15th.
This is a fun event to keep you fired up through the winter, stay consistent with your training, and get a taste of the FVT system that helps you build and maintain long-term fitness.

Spots are filling fast, and we are limiting it to 10 participants due to space and group management.
I came up with the idea for the Iron + Asphalt Challenge last spring, and it was a great motivator for people to train all summer and stay on track toward a goal.
Now that the weather is turning and the holiday season is coming, this is our next big event.
We will do:
— SINGLE-ARM KB SWINGS – 10 on the minute every minute for 10 minutes, max weight
— TURKISH GET-UPS – 1 on the minute every minute for 10 minutes, max weight
— BARBELL BACK SQUATS – .75 bodyweight for max reps (women) / bodyweight for max reps (men)
OR
DOUBLE KB FRONT SQUATS – .375 bodyweight for max reps (women) / .5 bodyweight for max reps (men)
— MAX CHIN-UPS / PULL-UPS (1 rep = 1 point) or MAX AUSTRALIAN PULL-UPS (5 reps = 1 point)
Your registration includes event entry, snacks and refreshments, an official Winter Warrior Combine T-shirt, and bragging rights forever 😉
HOWEVER, as mentioned, several spots are already filled, and we’re capping this one at 10 due to space and group management.
The price is nominal—just enough to cover expenses (it’s $5 more than last time because we actually lost money doing it, lol).
The MAIN POINT is to keep you motivated over the winter—and maybe get a friend or two to train with us for the event, get turned on to the FVT training system, and stick with the program so we can help you build and maintain your long-term fitness goals!

Hey there — happy Wednesday!
Lots going on this week at FVT Warrior Wellness.
We’ve had our current downtown Lee’s Summit studio open for about 15 months now — and we’re definitely starting to hit our stride.
Between the boost from social media, online ads, and Google reviews, the new Farmers Market location and signage, and being active in local schools and youth sports, we’re getting to know more people around the community — and momentum is building fast.
The only challenge now is that our schedule is filling up fast — so if you’ve been thinking about training with us, reach out soon before we end up on a wait list.
That said, I wanted to mention two upcoming things you’ll want to know about!
It’s on!
Our annual Winter Warrior Combine is officially on the calendar!
Think of it like our version of a “combine day” — a fun, friendly test of strength, endurance, and grit across kettlebell, barbell, and bodyweight challenges.
Events include:

Hey, just a quick note to let you know… the Winter Warrior Challenge is 100% happening.
I intended to have registration open by now — I even said it would be live last week — but life and business got busy, and I didn’t get the page finished yet.
That said, everything is still on track, and I’m shooting to have registration officially open tomorrow, Thursday, October 16th.
Here’s what you can expect:
It’s going to be an awesome way to stay motivated and get into the best shape of your life while having a little fun and friendly competition.

This January, we’re rolling out the Winter Warrior Combine at FVT Warrior Wellness in Lee’s Summit.
Think “combine day” for the Ageless Warrior—barbell, kettlebell, and bodyweight events, scored fairly for all levels.
You’ll take on:
• Kettlebell Swings + Get-Ups
• Squat Standard: Barbell Back Squat or Double KB Front Squat (scaled option available)
• Pull-Up Standard: Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups or Australian Pull-Ups (scaled option available)
Why do this? Because people stick with training when they have something to train for.
You’ll have ~12 weeks to prep, build momentum, and show up ready to test yourself.
Event Details
•Date: Saturday, mid-January 2026 (exact date announced next week)
• Location: FVT Warrior Wellness, Lee’s Summit
• Recognition: Top 3 overall performers
• Optional T-Shirt: Deadline to order is Friday, October 31, 2025 (hard cutoff so we’re not scrambling last minute).
• After Oct 31, registration will still be open — but no shirt guarantee.
Registration officially opens next week. Want early bird access (and to lock in your T-shirt)? Reply back or DM me “EARLY BIRD” and I’ll put you on the list.
Let’s kick off 2026 stronger, faster, better.

This past weekend I wrapped up Steel Mace Vinyasa Level 1 Training in Cache, OK with @angiemasonmoves and the crew at Viking Vinyasa Fitness.
At events like this—yoga teacher trainings, movement workshops, etc.—I usually end up being the token dude 😅 …and I’m totally good with it. Every time I step into these spaces, I walk away sharper as a coach and athlete.
But here’s the thing: if all your training right now is kettlebell swings, heavy lifts, and HIIT, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle.
Mobility + flexibility = the tools that keep you strong, pain-free, and functional for the long haul.
That’s why I’m diving deeper into Steel Mace Vinyasa. What makes it unique is how it blends strength, flow, and mobility. It’s part conditioning, part movement practice, and part meditation in motion.
As part of my certification, I’ll be teaching and filming eight classes using the Prime Condition Flow Method. Instead of just practicing to a camera, I want to bring real people along for the ride.
So here’s your heads up: I’ll be opening up a chance to join me—either in private sessions or a small group series this fall.
If you’ve been feeling beat up from years of hard training—or if you’re curious about a new way to train that keeps you strong for decades to come—this could be a game-changer.
Stay tuned for details!

This past Saturday we held our Iron & Asphalt Challenge — and what a day it was.
We had a solid turnout, and the energy in the studio was incredible. Many of the folks who showed up have been training with me for months leading up to this, and it showed:
What I love most is seeing that progression. It’s about putting in the work, week after week, and then having a chance to test yourself. To see your effort pay off with real, measurable improvements is one of the most rewarding parts of training.
And we’re not stopping here.
In January, we’ll roll out our Winter Warrior Combine. Think of it like the NFL combine — but for the Ageless Warrior. A chance to test yourself across multiple areas of fitness with a well-rounded mix of:
We’ll have established standards and benchmarks so you can track your progress, push your limits, and stay on track through the holidays.
Between now and then, we’ve got plenty of fun things in the works: themed workouts, special sales, and maybe even a little seasonal flair around the studio.
So swing by, get a session in, and be part of what we’re building!
Stay tuned for more details on the Winter Warrior Combine — it’s going to be a great way to kick off the new year.
