Together We Will Endure
Meaning
Dūrātus (dur-ah-toos) sure is an odd sounding word...this might have been your first thought. It sounds odd because it's not english, it's latin. This word was not chosen at random. It's actually filled with meaning. Dūrātus means to "endure" or "harden"-- this word signifies the journey to become "hardened" in fitness and character.
It's a journey that will take endurance.
Fitness
Dūrātus started with the belief that "going to the gym" could be about more than a workout. What if fitness was not cardio or machines or "chest and back" days?
Could fitness be transformative? Can our fitness be directly correlated to our development as people?
We believe it can.
Community
Dūrātus is not your typical gym. It's a place that uses fitness to challenge fear, develop discipline and create community.
Dūrātus exists to be more than a gym. We are a community of people not only seeking to become all that we can, but also seeking the betterment of our city, which we love.
We believe it should.

Info
Welcome to Cycle 2! This next 8 weeks is typically a time that we try to explore a few different fitness modalities. This cycle will take us through our Murph event on Memorial Day. Below are some of the distinctive elements you will see.
-Our strength will be categorized with a single leg strengthening day, 2 days for Oly technique work, a traditional deadlift day, and one day focused on odd object work.
-We will continue with our Zone 2 days, but you will also see a mixture of some endurance type workouts that take the place of our Zone 2 work.
-While we will still use some interval training - the majority of our conditioning will shift to be “AMRAPs" and “rounds for time”, targeting our oxidative energy system.
-Each week should have a sprinkling of calisthenic work (push ups, pull ups, air squats) to prep and ready us for Murph.
This is a fun cycle to explore some new movement patterns, while still valuing the things that have become standard for our fitness methodology.
