Choose Hard for Body, Mind, & Soul

FORMATION FOR BODY, MIND, & SOUL

The Gymnasium

A ten-year journey of strength and discipline through practical habits, fitness, prayer, fasting, work, and the wisdom of saints and sages. The Gymnasium trains the whole person to choose what is difficult, practice what is good, and become capable of love, service, and responsibility.

Strength

Train the body through movement, endurance, useful strength, sleep, nourishment, and recovery—not for vanity, but for capacity.
