Last Samurai-Self Discipline

This whole scene is incredible but really pay attention around 1:45 in

"Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. It is also used as a standard of performance."

At Art of Strength Tampa Bay, as trite as it may sound, we believe in the Art of Excellence. Excellence in motion, strength, character, and determination.

We believe that when each of you shows excellence in your work (whether your work at that moment is in the gym, at home, or at your job), amazing outcomes happen and lives are changed through the diligent pursuit of excellence. 

There is nothing better for us as coaches than to see your dedication pay off and you realize the results you worked so hard for! That is why we are so strict on your form, why we ask you to fold the ropes up correctly, why we show you how to put the kettlebells in line and even for some of you, clean the gym. Pursuing this excellence in the little things daily will translate to the bigger things in your life.

Aristotle put it best when he said: "We are what we repeatedly do . . . excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." 

Actively choose excellence today. Then do it again tomorrow.

Like the wind...
