This bad ass was recently in an accident and tore his quad and tricep. When it happened, a bunch of us members were standing around betting how long it would take this warrior to be back in the gym. Well, yesterday was his first day back!

If you can guess how many days it was before Damien stepped foot back in the gym after his surgery, you will receive a FREE HOP TEE of your choice from the pro shop. We have missed you Damien and glad you are back! You inspire us all.

There are a lot of good bodybuilding shows coming up in the next few months.

Of course you’re focused on hitting your diet, training, and cardio plan.

But are you doing the same with posing?

Or are you lacking the confidence and guidance?

If you’re struggling, we’ve got a solution for you!

Melissa (MJ) is offering small group WOMEN’s only posing clinics once a month at House of Pain Gym. All divisions and federations welcome.

You’ll get individual attention and work out the pre-stage gitters while being around other ladies in the same boat as you!

It’s a win/win!

It’s crucial that you know how to pose in a way that best presents YOUR physique. Posing properly is just as important as all the other prep components. You work so hard to get into your best shape, don’t let bad posing throw it down the toilet.

MJ has been competing for over 20 years, is a prep coach and a judge with multiple best presentation awards to back up her expertise.

She’d love to help you perfect your craft!

Next posing clinic will be held on 4/21/24 @ 1pm. It will last 1.5-2 hours and the cost is $45.

You must RSVP for these events as space is very limited.

Please contact her at [email protected] for more info or to reserve your spot.

FREE POSING SEMINAR open to all HOP members- our next free posing seminar will be April 6 at 11:30 AM in our posing room at the gym. Bring your posing suit and learn from two of the best in the business. .doriana

Eddy Coan you are a class act. Thank you so much for visiting us here at House Of Pain Gym last weekend. What a wonderful experience it was learning from one of the best powerlifters ever but most of all spending time with a human. Until next time, my friend….

We don’t always wear gym clothes. Congratulations Bryce and Brittany.

Exciting Announcement ‼️ Slide Over to see information about monthly posing session’s with

*Actual conversation caught on film*

Vinny: Dude, one of my clients gained 15lbs over the holidays and told me he’s just gonna do 45 mins of cardio a day and no carbs for the next 3 months to get it off.

MJ: see pic for reaction

We are now one full week into 2024! How are you doing with achieving the goals you set?

Are you making excuses already? Usually the first few weeks are the best. You’re motivated and focused but then you don’t see the results you expect and start to slack off. 😌

We’re here to tell you that it’s not gonna be magical. You aren’t gonna drop a crazy amount of weight in a short amount of time. You aren’t gonna have abs in 10 days. It’s gonna take time!!! Think of how long it took you to get where you are with your body. It was a long time of not caring and making excuses for why your couldn’t be better. Well, losing weight/getting in shape will take just that long if not longer. Yes it sucks, but it’s reality!!!

As with any new journey, the unknown can be scary! Let’s face it, it’s hard to do it on your own! There’s so much conflicting information out there. Why not turn to the professionals who not only know and understand the journey, but are top notch at their craft!

Just a reminder ☝🏼 Our trainers at HOP are here to help you achieve your goals! Don’t go at it alone, you need accountability and direction. Let us help you and take all the guesswork out of the equation! Contact us for details. 👊🏼

Holiday Hours

Awesome to have training in the house today. Thanks for taking the time Carlos to take this picture with . Cheering you on my friend.

“Hey man, put this in your phone calendar..
Saturday Jan 13th at 1pm we have a FREE posing seminar happening at house of pain in the posing room led by some amazing people who have been both competitors and judges for a long time.”
-
Yo, word on the street (me telling you) this is going to be an incredible opportunity for you to level up your game going into the 2024 competition season and it will cost you one thing and one thing only… a little bit of your time.
-
Mark it down, be there, you don’t wanna miss this one.
-
The house is home 🤝🏼

Staffed Hours for the Gym today are 8AM-2PM.

24 Hour access will be accessible for members today and tomorrow.

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

I saw a quote today that resonated heavily.
It said “if the people in your circle don’t inspire and uplift you then you don’t have a circle, you have a cage.”
-
It is beyond important to surround yourself with people who push you to be better not just by their own hand but also because you’re inspired by who they are all together. If you have people in your life who’s very presence lights a fire in you then you know just how much of a blessing this is and how necessary it is.
I don’t think we’d get much pushback in saying that’s the community here at house of pain.
-
This place isn’t your average gym. We don’t do the whole “clock out of work, show up, lift, go home, dissociated the whole time” Thing. And that’s not just our choice as individuals, the atmosphere and people around us in the gym simply won’t allow it.
Everyone is family and made to feel that way. Everyone is seen as equals. Everyone is wanted and welcomed.
-
We say the house is home often.. and you can read that on shirts and in social media posts all day and maybe have some sort of idea but the very second you step through our doors for the first time… man, EVERYTHING changes. It just clicks.
-
When you step through those doors you make a life changing decision. You choose not a gym, not an idea, not a program.. you choose YOURSELF. And you want to know the most beautiful part of it all? Well, to truly grasp it you’ve just gotta come by but Imagine being surrounded by people who want nothing more than to improve in any way they can.. now picture those same people caring just as much about your journey and experience as they do their own. This is the way. This is our way.
-
Whenever you’re ready, we’re here for you. Always.
We’ll see you tomorrow 🙏🏼

Alright guys, before we get too deep into our holiday plans I wanted to take a moment to highlight the newest addition to the training team. Many of you know her already so it’s no secret what an asset she will be to the house. Without further delay, Melissa Johnson.

“I’ve been in the fitness industry now for 26 years! I own my own Prep/Weight loss/Lifestyle and Nutrition business and have been coaching clients and personal training for most of my adult life.
-
I started competing in 1999 in the bodybuilding division. I switched over to figure and competed there from 2009-2016 winning a world title in 2015. I also added physique to my list in 2014 and placed 2nd & 3rd in the world in 2014 & 2015. Then I took some time off from 2017-2022 and most recently came back in the bikini division where I placed 2nd in my first pro show back and won my pro card in another federation just 4 weeks later. I am a drug free athlete and obtained my first pro status in 2009. I’ve competed in over 50 shows in my career and 25 of those shows were pro shows where I placed top 5 in all but 1.
-
Fitness truly is my passion and it helped me overcome a severe eating disorder coupled with body dysmorphia when I was in college.
I turned a negative obsession with food into something positive by using my discipline, dedication, and strength to take my body to the next level.
-
I am also a single mother to my 13 year old son and have truly found a healthy balance in my life between family, fitness and my career. I love competing and take great pride in transforming my physique from show to show and year to year always striving for Improvement. I find great joy in helping others achieve their fitness goals and dreams.
-
Anybody can build healthy habits; they just need to know how to do it effectively and that’s my jam. Although getting and staying healthy can feel like a big challenge, it doesn’t have to be. Working small, positive steps into your daily life can help you build a healthier life routine and improve your life in every aspect.”

The House Is Home!

Choose yourself, day in and day out.
Show up in the areas that promote growth, choose the hard path, fortify your body and callous your mind.
-
Ask yourself today, are you going to start one day or is today your day one? The longer you wait, the longer you will remain unsatisfied.. LOCK IT IN. 🔒
-
In this house we defy the norm. A fit body and mind is vastly more impressive than any material object will ever be.
-
Stay after it. 👊🏽

Alright House of Pain family, we’ve got something cooking for you guys.
-
We know the holidays are a madhouse for most with so much time spent trying to see loved ones, shop, work and plan. So we want to extend an offer to you guys in hopes of helping check at least one of those boxes for you!
-
What says “I love and appreciate you” more than helping someone get set up to take their health into their hands and start cultivating a lifestyle change that promotes health and longevity??
-
Have someone you still haven’t finished shopping for? Give them the gift that quite literally keeps on giving, set them up for success charging into the new year with a plan in place for self development!
-
A lot of people say they would give their life for the ones they love.. but would you help them live longer, fuller, more fulfilling and functional lives? Would you help them facilitate their new year goal of becoming the best version of themselves they can be?
-
Swing by the front desk, call into the gym or email our director to get this setup today!
**This is a limited time offer, it will expire at the end of December**
-
Happy Holidays to our family and friends here at the HOUSE. We cherish and appreciate each and every one of you.
The House Is Home, we’ll see you tomorrow!
