I know we are a ways away from the holidays. But we are all probably dreading how we can stay on track with our workouts when times get hectic. So with that in mind, I have created a 3 tier course that allows you to safely train through the chaos without spending all your time working out. Short, sharp workouts, designed to get you moving, feeling good, and maintain momentum through the holidays! Please enjoy and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

I built something for anyone who has been thinking about getting back in the water but wasn't ready for 1-on-1 coaching yet. It's called Back on the Block: a 6-week swim and strength program, fully self-paced, with every session written out for you. What's inside: - 6 weeks of swim sets (3 days a week to start, 4 days a week from Week 3) - 2 illustrated strength days each week, no guesswork on exercises - A baseline test in Week 1 and a retest in Week 6, so you see your progress in real numbers - Recovery and fueling guidance built in This is the plan I wish someone had handed me when I started my own comeback. If you know someone who is ready to get back to swimming but isn't ready for full coaching, this is exactly what to send them. Head over to the classroom tab in the community to get started

Hey everyone. It's been a long time but I've decided to start this community up again. Because you have been here a while, you still get everything for free! But enyone coming in new will have to pay a small fee to get it all. So if you can think of anyone you know who would benefit from something you see here, please share! It will help build the community and of course help the me with my business. Thanks so much guys, hope you have a great week ahead!

A lot of us in this community are millennials—30s, 40s, even pushing into our 50s. Careers are demanding, family life is busy, and yet there’s still that fire to feel and perform like an athlete again. The problem? By the end of the day, energy is gone. Deadlines, kids’ activities, and life in general usually win. That’s why I’m such a big believer in morning training. It’s not always easy to roll out of bed and move, but the payoff is huge: - Consistency sticks. You get it done before the day can throw curveballs. - Energy and focus rise. Training early fires up your brain and sets you up for a sharper day. - Better control over fat loss and muscle retention. Especially important as metabolism naturally slows with age. - Improved sleep. Evening workouts often mess with rest—morning sessions help regulate your rhythm. - Lower stress baseline. You start the day with a win and carry that mental edge everywhere else. For millennial athletes trying to balance careers, families, and fitness, morning movement is a simple shift that changes everything. Curious—how many of you here already train in the mornings? And if not, what’s been the biggest barrier to trying it?

Most athletes think progress comes from training harder. But the reality? You don’t get stronger in the workout — you get stronger in recovery. Skipping recovery is one of the biggest mistakes I see grown-up athletes make. More miles, more laps, or more weights doesn’t always equal better results. Here’s why recovery days matter: - Muscle repair & growth → your body adapts and builds here, not when you keep breaking it down. - Injury prevention → less chance of overuse injuries that sideline your training. - Performance gains → you come back sharper, stronger, and able to push harder. - Energy & motivation → prevents burnout and keeps you consistent week after week. - Better body composition → when stress is managed, your body actually changes the way you want it to. And remember — recovery doesn’t mean doing nothing. It could be: - A 20–30 min easy swim, bike, or walk - Yoga or mobility flow - Prioritizing more sleep and stretching 👉 At Pike Performance, I program recovery days into every plan — because without them, the work you’re putting in doesn’t stick. What’s your favorite way to recover? Drop it below — let’s learn from each other.
