    Member Spotlight: It Runs in the Family-The Blair’s

    What happens when fitness becomes a family affair? A little encouragement, a lot of laughs…and maybe just a bit of competition. In this Member Spotlight, we sit down with the Blair family—all four of them—to talk about what it looks like when being active, staying consistent, and working out together become part of the family culture. With four different personalities come four different perspectives on fitness, motivation, and what keeps each of them coming back. And while working out together brings plenty of joy and connection, it might also bring out a competitive edge or two. 😉 But underneath the family banter is something bigger. Sports and being active have always been part of the Blair family dynamic. It’s a great reminder that the habits we model matter. Our kids are watching what we prioritize, how we take care of ourselves, and the role movement plays in our lives, often long before we realize they’re paying attention. It’s a fun, candid conversation about consistency, family, a little friendly competition, and the value of building an active life together.

    Member Spotlight: Corey Wright | One Step Led to Another

    Corey Wright has been with us from the very beginning joining before The Factory (AKA CFBN) had even officially opened its doors. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of watching not only his fitness evolve, but his life as well. In this conversation, Corey reflects on the different seasons of his journey, how one new interest sparked another, and how those experiences ultimately gave him the confidence to leave his corporate career and pursue massage therapy. We also talk about how his approach to training has changed over the years, why consistency has mattered more than perfection, and what keeps him showing up today. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we revisit The Factory’s early days, celebrate Corey’s journey, and explore how small, consistent decisions can lead to changes far beyond the gym.

    Member Spotlight: Chelsey | Redefining Healthy

    No one talks about how confusing “healthy” has become. For years, Chelsey searched for the answer the way so many people do: different gyms, different workouts, social media advice, restrictive diets, and the belief that doing more had to be better. Instead of finding clarity, she found herself increasingly confused about what being healthy was actually supposed to feel like. In this Member Spotlight, Chelsey shares how working with a nutritionist, changing her mindset, and finding a community that prioritized consistency over perfection helped her redefine health on her own terms. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or caught in an all-or-nothing cycle, this conversation is a reminder that sustainable health isn’t found in extremes—it’s built one intentional choice at a time.

    Member Spotlight: Dan | One Hour of Non-Thinking

    What keeps someone coming back to the gym year after year? In this Member Spotlight, we sit down with longtime Factory member Dan to explore how his approach to training has evolved since the early days of The Factory. Together, we discuss how both his workouts and the gym’s programming have changed over time, why his focus has shifted from performance to longevity, and what has allowed fitness to remain a consistent part of his life. One of the most memorable moments of the conversation comes when Dan shares, “My best thinking is done on a walk. My best hour of non-thinking is done by coming to the gym.” In a world where we’re constantly making decisions, solving problems, and managing responsibilities, the gym can become something more than a workout. The plan is already written. The decisions are made. For one hour, you simply show up, move with intention, and allow yourself to be fully present. Sometimes, that’s one of the greatest gifts a consistent fitness routine can offer.

    Member Spotlight: More Than a Before & After — Abby’s Story

    In this episode of our Member Spotlight Series, we sit down with Abby for an honest conversation about her health and fitness journey. Like most meaningful journeys, her story is filled with highs, lows, victories, setbacks, and valuable lessons learned along the way. Abby openly shares what it has been like to pursue better health while navigating the realities of everyday life.

Through her journey, she developed a passion for learning more about health and fitness, leading her to further her education so she could better support others on their own paths to wellness. This conversation is a reminder that progress is rarely linear and that lasting change comes from continuing to show up, even when things get difficult. Whether you’re just getting started or have been on your own journey for years, you’ll likely find parts of your story reflected in Abby’s experiences.

    Member Spotlight: More Than Reps- Jeb’s Story

    This week, we’re kicking off our Member Spotlight Series with Jeb. Like many people, Jeb didn’t find success by chasing perfection. In this conversation, he shares what actually worked, what didn’t, and the lessons he learned along the way. We talk about the habits that helped him create lasting change, how his motivation has evolved over time, and why consistency, not perfection, became the foundation of his success. Most importantly, Jeb offers an honest look at what it’s really like to navigate a health and wellness journey as a busy adult. The wins, the setbacks, the mindset shifts, and the small decisions that ultimately add up to meaningful progress. Whether you’re just getting started or have been working toward your goals for years, you’ll likely see pieces of your own story reflected in this conversation. Because sometimes the best lessons don’t come from coaches, they come from people walking the path right alongside us.

    The Hyrox Playbook: Our Coaches Break it Down

    This week’s episode is a high-energy conversation with three of our Hyrox coaches (Ashley, Erik, Adam) and it’s a behind-the-scenes look you don’t usually get. We talk about how each coach found their way into Hyrox, what’s fueling their passion for it now, and what it actually takes to bring an event like our upcoming June simulation to life. From programming and logistics to the small details most people never see, there’s a lot more that goes into this than just showing up on the big day. We also get into the practical side: • How to prepare if you’re considering your first Hyrox • Where people tend to get it wrong in training • What actually matters when it comes to race-day readiness • And how to approach the experience so you can perform and enjoy it If you’re signed up, thinking about it, or just curious what Hyrox is all about, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what to expect and how to show up ready.

    From Mistakes to Method: How We Approach Training Now

    In this episode, we share a few updates, including our upcoming HYROX simulation and how we’re continuing to evolve our programming to better support both adult members and athletes, whether you’re training for performance or working through rehab. From there, the conversation gets more personal. We reflect on our own training journeys, where we got it right, where we got it wrong, and the missteps that shaped how we approach fitness today. Because the reality is, what we coach now has been built through experience, not perfection. We also talk about what it looks like to balance training with real life, adjusting intensity, expectations, and priorities as life changes. Not every season supports the same level of output, and forcing it usually comes at a cost. This episode opens the door for what’s next. We’re starting a new series and want to bring more of you into the conversation. Because often, the most valuable insights don’t come from coaches, they come from people living it in real time. If you’ve ever tried to balance the gym with family, work, and everything else life demands, this one will hit close to home. And we’d love to hear YOUR story next.
