What is The Epic Workout?
The Epic Workout is a new way of thinking about exercise that goes beyond the traditional fitness-as-sport methods towards a whole-body, whole-mind system of moving and being. Our story is that of the hero’s journey, and our way of exercising adds to what you already do by helping you live life with more fitness, more connection to yourself and others, and greater benefits than you could experience than before.
The Epic Workout is based on
- your own body
- knowledge of human movement
- movement that matters
- principles of evolution and development
- raw experience
Do you have the motivation to
- be stronger
- lose weight
- move faster
- feel lighter
- have more energy
- see yourself more positively
- have more confidence
- set new standards in your life
Perhaps, then, you are ready to answer the call.
Epic is Bigger Than Exercise
Men and women of any age can do it. Most importantly, it fits you wherever and whoever you are. There are no weights involved with the basics, though weights and tools can always be added for extra challenge. Epic is based on natural human actions of running, pushing, pulling, climbing, lunging, walking, pressing, jumping, leaping, chasing. By addressing the essence of our basic movements, you can learn to move better, faster, smoother, and most importantly, more.
Epic takes Mind-Body Seriously
The reason there are more benefits with Epic than normal exercise is that we make movement matter. When you are learning, then you are transforming. Changing your body’s outward appearance is just the beginning, and there is so much more available to us.
Epic tests your resolve, your strength, your perseverence, your motivation. Epic can be challenging and you can learn to push yourself to your new edge. In this way, it’s great for serious athletes of all types. Yet it’s really about knowing and owning the essence of your own body and mind. We treat them as one.
Hold On…Not everyone Is Ready for Epic
“Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.”
- Denis Waitley : American personal development expert
“Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they’re yours.”
- Richard David Bach : American author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
The only limitations we run up against are the ones in our mind. With Epic, you go beyond your mind’s own limitations…

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
- Lao Tzu
You must do the work. The Epic Guide is a meticulously developed manual that spirals through body and mind over 28 days. You must simply show up, do you best in each moment, and continue making steps along your journey.
What would you do with your best you?
Do you know what you want?
Do you know why you are here?
Do you think you’re ready?
Epic is exactly what you make of it, man or woman.
What does it look like? What does life look like? Epic contains all the movements necessary in life. If you’re a body builder, you may be strong, and if you’re a runner, you may be fast. If you do circuits, you can move a bit. No matter what you have every done, are you Epic? Can you move through the forest, climb a hill, chase and leap and push your mental limits when you think you’ve got nothing left? How would you know?
As they say about self defense, “you cannot actually practice self defense”. This is clearly true because really practicing self defense means one has to involve fear, danger, and very real risk. Few people truly need that level of reality. What level of reality do you require?
Epic takes a powerful approach to make you the center along with a heightened awareness of your immediate environment, and puts your mind and body through “really good fake stuff.” Epic is not bootcamp, bodybuilding, sport or anything that can be easily categorized. Epic is unique. Epic is strength and power in body, yogic in spirit, and absolutely evolutionary. Epic can transform you if you let it.
Epic can be completed anywhere, anytime.
The limits to what you can do with Epic are set by the limits of your imagination. Epic rarely requires equipment yet allows for tools and exercise equipment to enhace your experience. You can do Epic in park, a gym, a home or apartment, a beach, the office, a roof, anywhere.
Epic seven particular days and spirals, that is, repeats and progresses, your challenge and thus your progress. Each day varies between 30 and 75 minutes. Each of the 28 day Epic is designed and described step by step. Do you want your Epic in the morning, the afternoon, or evening? It is up to you.
Listen to those who came before you.
“The Epic Workout was extremely rewarding both physically and mentally. I achieved my own personal exercise goals while having fun in a group activity. My accomplishments included development and toning of muscle, increased physical activity endurance, pushing my body to it’s limits and a boost to my self-esteem. I truly had fun going through the exercises with the group. I also liked that members of the group bonded and cheered each other on to achieve their personal goals. As a group we had so much power. As an individual I developed and contributed to that power.”
- Jeff
What is Exercise?
To exercise actually means to bring into action. When we exercise, we bring into action our ancestral memories. Our bodies remember that we lived in trees and forests. We need to crawl and climb and run if we are to develop our intellectual, emotional and spiritual capacities. We did not emerge from an austere iceberg of a distant planet, but in the particularities of this Earth and its forests. When we wander through the mountains, climbing and running, our bodies remember those deep patterns of behavior intrinsically tied to all that we are. We tend to think of exercise as losing weight, as trimming off the fat. But to exercise is to enable the body to remember its past, so that it can stretch out with all its intertwined powers of being and thought and reflection.
