What We Care About

Effort > outcome

01

This doesn't mean we don't care about results, but we care that the path there is a joyful & sustainable one. We want you to get the results & KEEP them. Therefore, we must detach our happiness from that fixed destination, & turn our mind to the process, & to valuing our efforts more.

the forest > The trees

02

Have you noticed that many of the fitness "solutions" focus on a minute detail, like that one exercise that you're missing; that single food to avoid; or how everything you do must be "balanced" and "correct"? These often distract from the big picture of just getting started, even if it's imperfect. We like the forest.

Body Trust > Body Fear

03

The health & fitness industry treats people like they're frail, ill-equipped, dysfunctional, & they need the coach/product to "fix them". The result is it primes people to focus on harm & risk, instead of health & freedom. Here, we focus on the latter. Movement optimism, and believing the body is resilient

Testimonials

Before EWS I was frustrated with my inability/unwillingness to follow longer, performance-goal oriented fitness programs. It was like a series of never-ending small failures.


I now look forward to my workouts, and don't worry about following any set-in-stone program. No more feeling guilty and frustrated because I'm not able to do what I was "supposed to" do according to a long program.

Having the attitude of 'anything is good enough' gives me permission to workout with no pressure on how 'perfect' it might be. I feel more relaxed about my body and how I move. If I miss a few workouts  I know I can come back and pick it up again, never feeling like I am ever 'behind', which cuts out a lot of stress that comes from workout programs and the feeling that I might 'fail'.
