Train To Be Tough

The Tough Mudder Training Philosophy

Being “tough” is about more than strength and power. Toughness is a mindset. 

At Tough Mudder, we believe that practical fitness is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle along with realistic nutrition and a strong mind. But it has to be balanced– we celebrate our wins, and train hard so we can party harder. 

Our programme focuses on taking steps forward, everyday. No matter where you are starting from, set a goal, make it personal. Put a date on the calendar. And work toward it. Overcome obstacles. Conquer fears. Transformation comes through time and effort, and is possible with the support of a community that meets you where you are to help you get a little bit better every day.

We begin by working on mobility and practical movement. Then, build on that base and learn to listen to our bodies & prevent injury. We master skills & techniques to conquer obstacles on and off the course.  

Endurance does not have to be about just running miles and miles.  Endurance can be about overcoming any challenge, and we believe it’s done best as a team. Embrace new challenges, new experiences, and new obstacles. 

Join us:  sign up for an event or download a free training guide, or subscribe to our newsletter (at the bottom of this page).  Keep your eyes on new training opportunities and programmes hitting your inbox all year. 

WE DO…

Train to create habits that lead to incremental progress

Focus on training that is practical and makes life better

Set goals that are realistic & attainable

Use bodyweight, kettlebells, medballs and practical tools

Start your training where you are in your journey

Design training to meet you where you are

Believe that becoming tougher starts mentally

Celebrate and support achievement as a team

WE DON’T…

Believe in fad training programs and diets

Train skills that will never be useful in the real world

Just do stuff that is pointlessly hard

Require barbells or other intimidating training objects

Assign a “one size fits all” program designed for pros

Believe fitness should take over everything you do

Build toughness by giving you more than you can handle

Forget that training should be fun
