The Red Pill or The Blue Pill, It's your choice...

duda • September 3, 2025

The world seems to be split into two camps. Two types of people.

On one side, you have the people who seek out discomfort, who crave improvement. Those who want to create a better world, for themselves and then for those around them. The people who will stop at nothing, who will encounter roadblock after roadblock and continue moving forward. The people that we love to look up to, to admire, and attempt to emulate.

On the other, you have individuals who have accepted mediocrity, who have let the flame extinguish. The part of them who once dreamed of a magnificent existence, those who gave up early because it?s hard being uncomfortable, or maybe life happened. At one time or another, they decided to surrender their responsibilities to others. Whatever the reason, we all have them.

?You see in this world, there?s one awful thing, and that is that everyone has his reasons? Abraham Maslow

The only difference between these two groups are the choices they decide to make. There is no secret sauce, there is no magical motivational tool. There is only a choice: to act, or not to act.

Joining the first group is easy, all you need to do is to want for a better future, and take the first step towards making it a reality. Staying in the group is the hard part, maintaining the discipline and consistency, but if your reason for joining is strong enough, you?ll never want to leave.

If you choose to change groups, you can trade memberships at any time, it doesn?t cost any money, but it sure as hell isn?t free.

I know which group I want to be a part of.

Enjoyment. Consistency. Progress. The Foundations of Virtus

September 3, 2025

At Virtus Performance, everything we do, from our coaching to our programming, is built on three key foundations: Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress. Combined with built-in feedback loops, these principles ensure constant evolution, athlete buy-in, and results that last. Humans are complex, adaptive systems, always changing and responding to our environment. At the same time, we are also simple beings. We repeat the things we enjoy and the things that help us improve. That is why these three factors sit at the heart of Virtus coaching. 1. Enjoyment: Training You Actually Want to Do If training feels like punishment, you will eventually stop. Willpower can only carry you so far. That is why at Virtus, we design world-class strength and conditioning programs that are challenging, but also fun, rewarding, and engaging. Enjoyment is fuelled by our community. You will connect with others, laugh, and celebrate wins along the way. Training becomes more than just another task. It becomes one of the best parts of your week. 2. Consistency: The Secret to Real Change The people who achieve their goals are not always the most talented. They are the ones who keep showing up. Consistency is the real secret sauce in strength and conditioning. At Virtus, we do not just coach. We educate. You will learn why the work matters, how to fit training into a busy life, and how to build habits that stick. Through accountability and support, we help you keep turning up week after week, so results compound over time. 3. Progress: Becoming More Capable Progress fuels motivation. When you can see and feel change, you want to keep going. Whether it is lifting heavier, moving better, running faster, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your own skin, progress is what drives long-term commitment. That is why our coaching emphasises performance. With structured programs, regular testing weeks, and goal reviews, we ensure you are not just training. You are evolving. At Virtus, we believe in continual improvement. Every program includes feedback loops: testing, reflection, and goal setting that ensure your training adapts as you do. This process creates genuine athlete buy-in because you see and feel the results of your work. Our philosophy is simple. Training should help you do more of the things you love, in a stronger and more capable way. By combining Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress with our pillars of Community, Education, and Performance, Virtus coaching sets the foundation for long-term success. That is Virtus. That is Better Every Day. Ready to dive in and experience Virtus?
