English, Math or Training. Learning is Learning.

And it all happens the same way.

Learning to lift correctly is done through repetition.

Learning to solve that math problem, yep. Same thing.

And we use these kids success in an exercise as an example.

It took you 1000 reps to get good at deadlifting.

So. Can I ask how many times you practiced that math problem ?

How many times did you rewrite that essay ?

See if you practice 4 times don't expect to be good at it.

But if you practice 1000 times then your scratching the surface of good.

If you want to be great at something, than buckle up.

Its going to 10s of thousands of attempts.

But either way its all the same.

And for those parents and adults out there, this is for you too.

Getting good only happens after you have tried and failed, a lot.

So get out there and try.

If you can learn 1 thing, you can learn it all.

Lets go 👊

Showing up means ready to put in the work.

And that's exactly what this young man has done for over a year now.

Progress comes to those who earn it.

And that you have earned every bit of it Mr. @sumner.tyson

Great job.

Lets go crush 2026 👊

I didn't always appreciate life like I do now.

But now that I do.

I am grateful for the smallest things.

And every morning I wake up and remember where I came from.

Then i remind myself.

I am alive.

And that is not to be taken for granted.

#mindset #strength #grateful #alive #peace

Create the space that fuels your goals.

No, this is not my handy work.

This is what its like to have an amazing wife.

One who understands your ADHD like habits.

One who helps keep you organized and sain.... ish.

One who supports your goals no matter how crazy.

One who helps you get out of the holes you dig.

I couldn't have got up to where I am without my incredible wife holding the ladder.

But we are not perfect by any means.

We have hard days too.

But we have both fought for our life's alone.

So fighting together is easy.

We stand tall together, because if one falls, the other holds em up.

That's love, that's respect and appreciation.

Find a real one.

One who can calm your heart, feed your soul and one who offers a shoulder when life breaks you.

Because love is hard and life ain't fair.

Find someone who will throw down with anyone or anything to protect what you've built together.

Those are the real ones.

Thank you for always having my back.

Putting up with my mess of a mind.

Thank you for standing by me as I searched for my soul.

You are a real one ❤️ @kristi_lee_85

Fighting for positions is something im used to.

After years of injuries, it doesn't necessarily get easier.

We just get faster at solving for problems.

I have built back literally from neck to toe.

And it seems that my old injuries are the ones that plague me the most.

Because I didn't restore Movement in grade 7 or when I was 18, 21, 25 or 30.

It was once I got an education and thousands of hours of practice that I could finally see what was missing.

What I learned through all this.

Just because you can go back to work or sports doesn't mean your body is back to normal.

Take the time to get things moving, stable and stronger again.

Get to a qualified & experienced practitioner preferably one that has "athletic" or "real training" experience.

And then on to a good qualified coach.

Keep building back stronger the help restore your body.

Then if you can make that a weekly routine, you will be protecting your body into the future.

Lets be ready, injuries suck.

They can destroy a lot of people.

So if it happens don't hide.

Get to work.

Save yourself.

Because nobody can do it for you.

My 4 favorite videos from the first 2026 Youth Group Training Session.

Those giggles... 😂

Loved the little reminder that Our 3rd year of Summer Camp will be starting In July 🌞

The fact these kids are already looking forward to summer camp says a lot.

Most importantly is says we have cracked the edges of success.

If you build it, they will come

#gym #youthtraining #fun #friends #fitness

These kids crushed 2025. And started 2026 Strong.

This is more then training.

It has become a part of their routine.

And its changing their lives.

Just imagine your self believe if you were leg pressing 500 lb at 14 years old.

Or deadlifting your body weight, jumping higher and getting faster week over week.

What type of life trajectory does that set these kids up for ?

I have a good idea.

And we will have to wait to see.

But for now, we have work to do.

Bring on 2026.

Lets go 👊

My first gym fail of 2026. Ouch...🤬

Pain motivates learning really fast.

Next time, Don't DB press in a Rack.

The floors has no feelings, dump the damn weights sooner.

But, hey no worries.

This right shoulder hase been busted up 3 times before I have been through worse and I came back stronger.

Knowing that alone is a huge advantage.

Any way, here we go again.

Restore Movement, Maximizes Results

Repeat.

2025 was full of some really high, highs.

And it had some very down days and weeks.

But we made it.

We got mentally and physically stronger.

And we have some really cool stories to tell when we get to the top.

Here we go 2026👊

Access to the gym provided access to options.

Nick and I started working together over 2 years back.

We started in home to build some better mind muscle connections, and improve stability.

We started with things like single leg stands holding 2 walls, lateral raises and glute bridges.

After we built up a more stable controlled system we were able to progress into the gym.

It was the gym where we had access to machines and an ability focus on base level strength with out instability being a factor.

And with those strength improvments we could then access more additional equipment to help us push past stability barriers

Yes the gym has been paramount in Nick's ongoing progress and success.

Yes, training at home can be sufficient, but its the options in the gym that allowed us to push past some otherwise untouchable limits.

#gym

Its not a passenger. Your off hand or weaker side needs more attention, not less.

Stop ignoring the obvious imbalances.

They will not improve all on their own.

Do you want a simple solution?

Start on your weaker side, use that side to predict the workload for each set.

And secondly.

Dig in, have patience.

It's simple yes.

But it's not going to be easy.

@sumner.tyson has been focusing on improving his left to right imbalances in his lower body.

And it shows, each and every session.

Great job my man 👊

Care more about how your life feels, than how it looks to others.

Not sure about the pendulum squat?

Then let's nail these 2 things for starters.

🔹️1 - Foot position and foot pressure.

• Keep your feet even to one another. Use the marks on the foot plate to measure.

• Bend your knees on the way down or eccentric portion and let the knees track between your big toe and baby toe.

• Keep full foot pressure on the up or concentric portion by pushing from your mid foot.

• Aim to keep heels and toes down throughout the whole rep.

🔹️2 - Core Bracing & Back Position.

• Get Set at the top Keep your back and head pressed tight to the back pad.

• Usiing a quick exhale, let your rib cage tilt downward.

• Brace your core and hold that position.

• Slowly go down and keep the whole back flat to the pad the the entire way down.

• Maintain the core brace and back position press whole foot firm into the plate and stand up.

🔸️If required reset your brace prior to performing each rep.

The pendulum squat is a great machine and can assist individuals into deeper ranges of motion as well as assisting in restoring function to the body, or teaching us to out function bad structure.

When we execute with intent we get better results across the board.

So take a few seconds, get set up, and focus on the reps.

Because who really wants to leave half their results on the gym floor.

Thats definitely not what we're here for.

A father, family business and 2 soccer teams.

This man is an absolute beast of a human.

And a great example of what can be done if we just act.

I have had a link to my client Paul for 13 years.

But we didnt know that when he first signed up.

Its a pretty cool story actually.

We raced one another in 2013 at Speeders Calgary when I worked for that family business as a carpenter.

And his father is actually a huge reason I became the leader I am today.

It was a simple act that changed my perspective on how a boss or leader should act.

So I take that lesson into everything I do.

And now i get to use what I learned from Pauls Dad to help him reach and exceed his goals.

We are in this together.

We are Team Hardwired

If you don't already you should be exposing yourselfs to Unilateral & Rotational Exercises.

These are two areas that could be limiting your output in training, sport or life.

If the exercises in the vidoe are to advanced for you to perform properly, there are many regressed variations you can start with.

Such as an isometric lunge & Russian Twist both are simple variations that could open up some progress in the gym, sport and improve movement for life.

I promised myself I would change.

And I did.

Then I hit a wall.

I got back up.

And then another wall.

Again, I Got back up.

Both my physical & mental health have been tested, beaten & bent.

But never broken.

It has been a hard road.

It has been unbearable some days.

But I keep getting back up.

Somedays I don't know how.

But I always get reminded why !

It is that promise to myself.

To never go back to the way I was, physically or mentally.

And I never will.

Some days I get the essentials done and shut down.

Other days are 15+ hours.

But what really matters.

Is that I keep moving forward.

It's gotten me this far.

And I'm pretty damn proud of the man I've become.

We had a sprinting challenge from a post we put up.

One of our students @sumner.tyson was not happy that we pointed out the 2 fastest kids on Team Hardwired.

He felt he was right up there with them.

So for the last class before Christmas we had him prove his point.

And that he did.

Ty kept up to @yyc.brody11 and he tied and maybe beat Logan.

As well as @mickahvoyevoda who kept pace with all 3 contenders.

I love when these kids come to push one another.

This is what Team Hardwired is all about.

Working together, having fun and pushing our own or each others limits.

Great Job boys 👊

Now Back at it on 🥊 day.

If you want to move faster then you need to produce more force into the ground.

And simply running more isn't going to help.

You need to get you legs and your core more stable and stronger.

Its really that simple.

But.

Nobody said it would be easy.

So get some heavy weights, learn to move with control.

Then look towards speed.

All skills are earned 👊

Shout out to these boys, @yyc.brody11 & Logan
For 1 year of dedicated training with @hardwiredwellness

My daughter and I hitting the gym one last time before she was off to see her friends for Christmas 🎄.

Its moments like these that I am eternally grateful for.

This is what living life is about.

No, not the gym.

It the time spent sharing things you enjoy with your children or those you love.

So, this Christmas keep the political and personal issues away from the table.

Wake up, and realize you have limited time on this earth.

Surround yourself with those you love, act and speak with understanding and empathy.

And cherish these moments.

Because once they're gone, they're gone forever.

Nothing but memories.

So make those memories count.

The Stronger Student Project Workshop is under way.

Hi Parents

Students today face more pressure and distraction than ever before. Even motivated students can struggle with stress, confidence, and managing daily challenges.

The Stronger Student Project Workshop supports students by developing physical fitness and mental resilience—two foundations that play a key role in focus, confidence, and long-term success.
This guided workshop combines movement, age-appropriate fitness, and mindset training to help students:

• Build strength, energy, and healthy routines

• Develop confidence, discipline, and self-belief

• Learn strategies to manage stress and distractions

• Apply these skills to school projects, responsibilities, and personal goals

The workshop focuses on progress and personal growth, not competition. Activities are adapted to different ages and fitness levels, creating a safe and supportive environment for every student.
Workshop Details

• For middle school, high school, and post-secondary students

• Led by experienced coaches

• Hosted in partnership with trusted gyms and community spaces

• No prior fitness experience required

Our goal is to help students feel stronger, more confident, and better prepared for the challenges ahead.

📆 Workshop is on January 18th Evolve Strength Seton

Bands on the Hack Squat Machines are a great tool.

Because when it's to heavy your execution will be poor or less effective at best.

Learn how to master the movement first, at a weight you can properly manage.

As your skill increases, the weight will go up.

Stop being in a hurry to prove to others that your strong.

The process is simple.

It goes like this.

• Mobility first.

• Stability second.

• Strength last.

When we do it this way we see progress increases a lot faster than grunting through poor execution.

If you can not absorb force you can't produce force.

Its a simple path that so many in the gym completely miss.

Get some bands on the Atlantis Hack squat master your execution and then you can start to move some serious weight.

Or keep crushing your body and your soul for 10% results.

The choice is ultimately yours.

Both Free Weights and Machines Have Their Place.

When you're programing exercises it should be about the clients needs and goals.

Not about comfort.

But at the same time using exercises that are manageable for the individual.

Using proper variations with free weights and mastering those skills is how we see more progress.

Then we make the movement or exercises more challenging, not don't add weights.

This gets us training the systems required in different positions or movements until we get good at those.

And then we make them more difficult.

Because training is really about breaking through the discomfort and overcoming the challenges to get results.

Its not about how much weight you can move, it's about how you move with the weight.

And that will 100% require you to do things that aren't easy.

For most people that will come in the form of free weight exercises.

Using things like dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells and even med-balls or sand bags.

And including unilateral exercises like RDL, Lunges and steps-ups or their variations are a perfect place to start for almost anyone.

Once you can master your free weight exercises and nail down positioning and execution you should see your machine exercises start to progress much faster as well.

That is because we are getting the whole system on line.

This is more than a muscle game.

Its a total system game, involving you brain, your body and the nervous systems thay connects it all.

So, stop selling yourself short.

Do the hard work.

Be uncomfortable.

Because that is how we get real results, both in the gym and in life.

Lets go 👊

Your kids mimic your actions, not your words.

Growing up as a teenager in my house I witnessed drinking and partying.

I witnessed habits and a lifestyle that I then later adopted.

And once I did behave like the adults I was seeing I was then shunned I was the unwanted mess of a kid.

I was now a problem.

Even though I was just following what my parent was enjoying.

I was living by the "influence" or examples I witnessed for years.

And I was on that same road as my examples and worse.

It looked like I was destined to recreate that cycle.

But one day, 15 yeats ago I saw a picture of myself and my daughter.

And it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I cannot and will not let me kids witness the life I did growing up.

So I set out on my journey into fitness and wellness.

Now all 4 of my kids are very active.

Between them all they are into sports, and sports medicine, they draw, write, create and they hit the gym.

All 4 of my kids have trained with me and still do whenever we get the chance.

That is how you stop the cycle

That is the INFLUENCE your kids need.

Stop blaming TikTok, FB, & YouTube.

They are your kids.

Influence them to be better then you could have ever been.

Show them the path to greatness.

Lets go 👊

Youth Hockey Players Thursdays Session

Athletes rely on single leg stability and strength every second that game clock ticks.

So do normal people every time we walk.

That is why we program and coach these or similar movements into every program.

When performance becomes the goal.

The entire system gets more efficient, stable and stronger.

Its going to take time, consistency, attention and effort to see improvements

And thats what we're working on with these two youth athletes @sumner.tyson & @mickahvoyevoda

The rest of my training from that old school gym in Canmore.

It was a thing of beauty.

No over engineering.

No fancy knobs, buttons or cushy seats

Chipped paint, and rough around the edges.

But it was smooth, the machine sets ups and accessories were bang on.

Nothing but hard work and sweat.

Anyone want to take a road trip and go hit the gym in Canmore, let me know.

I will go back at the drop of a hat 🎩

Thank you to the staff at @chateaucanmore_ab one of the best weekends I have ever had.

Training has many benefits and brain health is just one of them.

We see this constantly with our youth athletes.

They spend countless hours in speed skating, and running field drills in an attempt to get faster or more advanced in their sport.

The problem being they dont have the ability to first absorb forces, and if they cant do that then the ability to produce forces and skate or run faster will suffer..

You need to control your feet, legs, hips, and the rest of your body.

Once you can get your feet underneath yourself in an effective manner, and you learn to control your body then your ability to absorb and then produce forces will improve.

So, stop trying to skate, run or jump on spaghetti noodles for legs and a wobbly body.

Get in the gym, learn to lift "properly" and you're investments in other skill development classes will start to multiply.

Dedicated Clients Get The Results.

My Client John has shown up 2x per week for about a year.

He shows up each week ready to work.
He is focused and he executes each rep with intent.

That is how we see improvements week over week.

And that is how we have improved shoulder function reducing pain and discomfort.

John has also clocked over 2100km on his bike this year already.

Together we have Restored Movement & Maximized Results

Thats how we do it at Hardwired Wellness

LETS GO 👊

That's how we do it.

#strongerstudentproject #hardwiredwellness #fitness #training #strength #confidence #evolvestrengthseton

In a duel with my nervous system. And I will win.
•
Battling to maintain foot pressure and leg position to improve hip mobility on my right side.
•
The weight isnt the issues.
•
It's nailing the execution as years of shit movement tries to push me in to a more comfortable position.
•
To bad for my body that progress requires discomfort.
•
So thats where we went.
•
Deep into discomfort.
•
Because the only way out, is through.
•
Through the shaking, through some pain.
•
And on the others side, as usual, moving better.
•
Change requires pushing your system and in most cases "rewiring" your movement patterns is possible.
•
But it takes work.
•
So.

Real leaders do the work first.

They know how to perform and expect the same from themselves as they would anyone else.

Leaders lead from the front.

They don't give examples.

They are the example.

Thats how we do it.

Let's go 👊

#strongerstudentproject #hardwiredwellness #youthtraining #leadership #fitness #strength #success #evolvestrengthseton

🚗 Why do we take 1 and 2 day road trips 🛻
•
Because it gives your brain a break from the day to day routine thoughts running rampant in your mind.
•
A new environment for a couple days can make a huge impact on you life.
•
No vehicle, find a place you can bus to, or stay in your own city.
•
Go to a hotel, leave your constantly reoccurring thoughts behind.
•
Take a break.
•
Reset.
•
Refocus.
•
Then keep moving forward.
•
Lets Go 👊
