Achilles Cycle – Week3: LEO WEEK IS HERE
This week is a big one.
Leo Week brings a full lineup designed to challenge every piece of your fitness—strength, engine, skill, and mindset. You’ll see a mix of Olympic lifting, gymnastics, longer aerobic work, and workouts that reward smart pacing over all-out effort.
- Monday opens with a clean & jerk complex into “The Wolf,” an EMOM that will test efficiency and control.
- Tuesday is a true aerobic push with “Catch Me If You Can”—a run and machine piece that challenges you to hold a strong, steady pace.
- Wednesday mixes snatch cycling with a fast-paced interval workout that will keep you on your toes.
- Thursday is all about midline and gymnastics under fatigue with “Daniels.”
- Friday’s “The Long Con” is a 20-minute grind—stay patient early and you’ll thank yourself later.
- Saturday brings the energy with a partner workout—come ready to work and have some fun.
- Sunday closes the week with a longer EMOM featuring rope climbs and core work.
The focus This Week:
Pace smart, move well, and stay consistent. There’s a lot here—but that’s the point.
Show up, trust the process, and let’s have a week.
Don’t Train Around It—Fix It and Keep Moving
That nagging shoulder. Those cranky knees. Tight hips that just won’t loosen up.
Sound familiar?
Good news—you don’t have to just “deal with it.”
At Innovate Sports Medicine, Lara (your on-site Athletic Trainer + Gym Manager) will figure out what’s actually going on, treat the issue, and give you a clear, simple plan so you can keep training instead of sitting out.
This isn’t about quick patches or guessing games. It’s about real answers, smart treatment, and keeping you in the gym doing what you love.
If something’s been bothering you, now’s the time to handle it 💪

WHO WE’RE WELCOMING WITH OPEN ARMS
We talk a lot about fitness, nutrition, and recovery—but one of the most overlooked pieces of long-term health is simple: connection.
The research is clear—people with strong social ties tend to live longer, recover better, and experience less cognitive decline. But as adults, building and maintaining those friendships isn’t always easy.
That’s where the idea of a “doorbell friend” comes in.
A doorbell friend is someone who can show up at your house unannounced—and you’re genuinely happy to see them. No planning weeks ahead. No coordinating schedules. Just real, easy connection.
It’s the friend you call when something reminds you of them.
The one you swing by to see for 10–15 minutes.
The one you grab coffee for because you were already going.
Because here’s the truth: real connection isn’t built on occasional big plans—it’s built on small, consistent moments.
So here’s your challenge this week ➡️
- Think of 2–3 people who could be your doorbell friends.
- Let them know they’re always welcome.
- And start showing up the same way.
No overthinking. No pressure. Just more connection.
It’s one of the simplest habits you can build—and one of the most powerful for your health, your happiness, and your life outside the gym.
Show up. Put in the work. Let’s go. 💥
