Your metabolism is about MORE than how many calories you can burn during a workout. 👇

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) come from 4 primary components:

1️⃣ BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate (60-70%): This is where the largest portion of calories we burn comes from everyday. It’s the energy your body uses to keep you alive, maintain muscle mass, brain function, and organs working!

2️⃣ NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): All the movement outside of intentional exercise. Walking,taking the stairs, cleaning the house, and playing with the kids.

3️⃣ TEF (Thermic Effect of Food): The energy your body uses to digest, absorb, and process the food you eat.

4️⃣ EAT (Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): Intentional Exercise. Strength training, running, cycling, swimming, rucking, etc.

SO WHY DOES BUILDING MUSCLE MATTER?

Muscle is metabolically active tissue, meaning it requires energy to maintain. But its importance goes well beyond the calories it burns at rest.

Skeletal muscle is one of the primary places your body takes up and store glucose. Maintaining and developing muscle through resistance training supports insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, strength, and physical function as we age.

Research supports this:

📚 Muscle and metabolic health

Paquin, J., et al. (2024). Resistance training, skeletal muscle hypertrophy, and glucose homeostasis: how related are they? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
- Journal: Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism
- DOI: 10.1139/apnm-2024-0128

📚 Resistance training and resting metabolic rate

MacKenzie-Shalders, K., et al. (2020). The effect of exercise interventions on resting metabolic rate: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
- Journal: Journal of Sports Sciences
- DOI: 10.1080/02640414.2020.1754716

The takeaway: We are not just training to burn calories. We’re training to build a stronger, healthier body that serves us for decades.

Your coach should know more about you than how much you can lift.
They should notice your progress, know when to challenge you and when to adjust, and actually listen when they ask how your week went.
Because remembering the little things says something big: you matter here.
At Iron Tribe, we care about helping you get stronger—and knowing the person we’re helping.
Hit Follow and let us know what you’re working toward!

A piece of paper won’t fix your squat. Or any program. Your coach will. 👊
A personalized program is the starting point. Coaching brings it to life.
Someone who knows your goals, watches how you move, adjusts when you need it, and helps you keep showing up.
That’s what you’re investing in at Iron Tribe.

If you see this then this is your friendly reminder!

GO TO THE GYM!

Fun aside! Accountability and consistency are the two biggest things to seeing progress! They are also the hardest things to implement and execute!

Can AI replace your fitness coach? Here's our take.
We have more information than any generation before us. The best financial advice is free online, yet people still hire financial advisors. You can learn almost anything from a video, yet great teachers still change lives.
Fitness works the same way. AI can write a solid workout in seconds, and that's useful. But for most of us, the hard part was never knowing what to do. It's doing it consistently.
That's where people come in. A coach who teaches you to move well. A coach who challenges you when you're ready for more. A coach who notices when you're slipping. A community that expects to see you at your next class.
Information gets you started. People help you change.

Work has a schedule. The kids have a schedule. Having something on the calendar for you matters, too.
For Baxter, Iron Tribe is that constant in a busy week. A familiar group to train with. Coaches to guide the work. A routine to come back to when everything else gets hectic.
It’s not about waiting for life to slow down. It’s about finding your rhythm in the middle of it.
DM “START” and let’s talk about making room for your goals, too.

“You are what you eat” might be true….
But you’re also what you repeatedly choose.
The days you show up when you don’t feel like it.
The community you surround yourself with.
The habits you build when nobody is watching.
The moments you push a little further than you thought you could.
Your health isn’t built in one big decision:
It’s built in hundreds of small ones!
Keep showing up.

Turns out the main thing we train is our mindset.

Does “Later” actually ever come?
Later, when work slows down.
Later, when the schedule opens up.
Later, when you finally feel motivated.
But about 1 in 5 adults are chronic procrastinators, and for a lot of people, later slowly turns into never.
You do not need the perfect plan, the perfect week, or the perfect level of motivation.
You just need to start.
Today is a pretty great day for that!

If you’ve ever seen a face like this… Just squat lower.

This is harder than it looks, so make sure YOU try it for yourself and see what time you can get!

The all time record is 4.5 seconds to burn 5 calories on the bike…. Soooo yeah, every second really does count. The goal is to get the fan producing 1500 watts of power MINIMUM

Good luck and happy biking!

Most people train for what they can see right now.
More strength.
More energy.
Less body fat.
Better performance.
But the bigger payoff is the one you feel 5,10, 20, or 40 years from now.
Being able to travel.
Get off the floor.
Carry groceries.
Walk up stairs.
Play with your grandkids.
Stay independent.
That is why strength matters.
You are not just training for today. You are building the version of yourself you will need later.

Coach Con Push-Up Competition: Part 1 💪
We put the women coaches to the test to see who could knock out the most push-ups—and they did not disappoint.
This is what we love about Iron Tribe coaches: they don’t just coach effort, they live it. They compete, they encourage each other, and they lead from the front.
Part 2 is coming next… and the guys are up.

Want to stay strong, mobile, and active well into your 60s and beyond?
John and his wife have been part of Iron Tribe for nearly 10 years.
Now in his early 60s, his goals look a little different than they did in his 30s.
It’s not about chasing quick fixes anymore.
It’s about longevity.
Keeping up with his kids and grandkids.
Staying strong for golf.
Moving better.
And building the kind of consistency that actually lasts.
That’s what we love about John’s story. He’s not waiting until he “feels like it” every morning. He’s built a rhythm, week after week, that supports the life he wants to keep living.
And that’s what Iron Tribe is all about.
Not just getting in shape for a season, but building strength, confidence, and consistency for the years ahead.
If you’re ready to start training for the life you want to keep living, send us a message with the word START and we’ll help you take the first step.

The workout doesn’t have to be perfect.
You can run slow.
Lift light.
Take breaks.
Modify the movements.
Do fewer reps than you hoped.
And still walk out better than when you walked in.
Because the true win isn’t always the workout itself.
It’s walking through the door when you almost talked yourself out of it.
That first step matters more than you think.
