She didn’t want to just finish—she wanted to show up ready

Prepared for the challenge. Built for the long haul.

Thea Blog

When Thea first came to Black Bar Fitness, she already had some Spartan Races under her belt.

But this time around, she wanted to train with purpose.

She didn’t want to just make it through another race. She wanted to show up strong, confident, and fully prepared to give it her all—from the first obstacle to the final sprint.

And she knew she couldn’t get there alone.

She was looking for structure. Knowledgeable Coaching. And a community that inspired her.
Something more than another DIY fitness plan.

That’s when she joined Black Bar Fitness.

From day one, Thea was committed to building her strength, improving her conditioning, and doing the work that would take her to the next level.
Not just for one event, but for life.

What started as a goal to feel better prepared for a Spartan turned into something far bigger.

Over the past two years, Thea has pushed her limits, challenged herself in new ways, and unlocked a level of consistency and confidence most people never find.

She’s now competed in several major events, including:
→ Spartan Races
→ The CrossFit Open
→ Our own BBF Games

And with each one, she’s gotten stronger, faster, and more capable.

She’s built real endurance.
She’s added power to her lifts.
She just hit a new PR: a 115 lb split jerk.
And more importantly, she’s found a rhythm she can sustain.

But here’s what really sets Thea apart: she never trains just to “win”—she trains to grow.

She shows up, each week, excited for the class ahead. The workouts with friends. The moments when the real work happens- because preparation matters. 

Because for Thea, fitness isn’t just about finish lines—it’s about showing up for herself in a way that impacts everything else in her life.

And if you’ve been struggling with consistency, hitting plateaus, or feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels in the gym…
