RESET: The 8-Week Program for People Who Are Sick of Starting Over
Alright. Let’s talk about RESET.
Because if you’re like most people, you’ve had that moment where you’re like…
“Okay. I’m getting back into it.”
And then life hits you with the full combo: work, stress, sleep gets weird, you miss a week… and suddenly it’s February.
RESET is built for that exact person.
It’s an 8-week momentum-building sprint inside our Semi-Private Training (SPT) program — designed to help you lean out, get stronger, and rebuild consistency without feeling like training is punishment.
And here’s the important part:
This is not random workouts.
This is training.
So what is RESET actually?
Think of it like this:
Most gyms do the “everyone grab a bench… wait, there’s no bench… okay just do something else” routine.
RESET is the opposite.
We run it with a Pods (Stations) + Rotate format.
So instead of standing around waiting for equipment or wondering what you’re supposed to do, you’re moving through stations with an actual plan.
It’s organized. It’s coached. It flows.
And it’s sneaky effective because you end up doing more quality work in less time — without it feeling like chaos.
The whole point: fat loss without burnout
Let me say this clearly:
If your fat loss plan makes you feel like a wreck all the time… it’s not a plan.
It’s a phase you’ll quit.
RESET is built to get results without nuking you.
Here’s how it drives fat loss:
High training density (you’re working more, resting less, but in a smart way)
Consistent weekly output (because consistency beats “one killer workout” every time)
Strength + conditioning combined (so you’re not just sweating… you’re improving)
You’re going to leave tired. You’re going to sweat.
But you shouldn’t leave thinking,
“I’m not coming back here for 6 days.”
That’s not the goal. The goal is momentum.
We go strength first… because that’s the cheat code
This is where a lot of people mess up.
They go: “I wanna lose weight,”
and immediately start doing 900 burpees and running themselves into the ground.
Cool. You’ll burn calories. Also you’ll hate your life.
RESET runs strength first, then conditioning, because building strength does a few things:
It makes your body change faster.
It makes you feel capable again.
It makes you want to train.
Every session has a structure that stays consistent:
1) Strength Anchor Pod
This is the “main lift” vibe. The thing that makes you stronger.
This is where you build performance.
2) Hypertrophy / Time-Under-Tension Pod
This is the slow-burn. Muscle fatigue. Shape. Control.
This is where the work gets real.
3) Conditioning Pod
Athletic conditioning. Heart rate up. Work capacity up.
Not “let’s just destroy you for no reason.” More like: “Let’s make you harder to kill.”
4) Finisher
Short. Intense. Controlled chaos.
You end the session feeling like, “Yeah. I did that.”
And the best part?
It’s balanced. You’re not just doing cardio and calling it training.
“But won’t it get boring?”
Good question — because here’s the truth:
Most people don’t need more variety.
They need more progress.
RESET intentionally has less movement variety week-to-week, and people always raise an eyebrow at that.
But that’s how you actually get better.
When you repeat key movements, you can:
improve technique
add load
build confidence
track progress
It’s not random. It’s measurable.
And measurable is addictive in the best way.
You start thinking:
“Wait… I used to struggle with this. Now I’m moving weight.”
That’s the stuff that sticks.
Why this works so well in Semi-Private
RESET was literally built for the way EMBODI runs SPT:
coached
capped in size
structured
high energy
So the pod rotation format helps with:
smooth transitions
minimal equipment conflicts
partner flow without slowing the room down
consistent coaching focus
Translation?
Less waiting. More working. More coaching. More momentum.
What you’ll feel after 8 weeks (if you actually show up)
Here’s what most people notice by the end:
you’re training more consistently
your stamina is better (like… stairs don’t hit the same)
you’re noticeably stronger
you look leaner from better output + training density
your confidence goes up because you’re doing hard things again
And honestly the biggest win isn’t even physical.
It’s that you stop feeling like you’re “trying to get back into it.”
You’re just… back.
Who RESET is for
RESET is perfect for you if:
you’ve been inconsistent and you’re tired of that cycle
you want fat loss but not at the cost of your energy
you want structure because motivation is unreliable
you want to feel strong again, not just sweaty
you want coaching and community built into the process
Basically: it’s for people who want to train like an adult.
The “don’t overthink it” rules to win RESET
If you do nothing else, do these:
1) Show up 2–3x/week and protect it like a meeting
Not “if I feel like it.” Put it in the calendar.
2) Treat the Strength Anchor like practice
Ask questions. Take coaching. Own the form.
3) Recover like it matters
Sleep, protein, hydration. Basic stuff. It’s not sexy. It works.
4) Track something simple
Weights used. Attendance. A note in your phone.
Progress you can see becomes progress you can repeat.
Final thought
RESET isn’t a “get shredded in 8 weeks” gimmick.
It’s an 8-week phase that gives you something way more valuable:
Momentum.
Because once you have momentum, results happen almost as a side effect.
So yeah — if you’re ready to stop starting over…
Let’s RESET.
