THE DREADNOUGHT 2024 - Easily the most complex event I have organised... The toughness required from each participant... the level of BULLS£#T that tried to stop me/the group from crawling around the course was next level.
I have never seen so many strong, capable, grounded human beings push their limits into a new realm of adaptability.
For most... the hardest challenge to date.
Proud beyond measure... Thank you to those 17 people.
My helpers @fasciafreedom for the remedial support...you saved one person from having to quit. @M ...your beautiful smile and unwavering work capacity was a gift.
@mighty_mayyah ... you were valued by me and the crew 100 times over 😍
Broken bags (numerous) a broken arm on the Dreadnought log...required fixing TWICE (once with the help of a local bike shop and once via tools purchased at a garden centre)
80kms
10 PLUS hours walking for three days (150,000 steps)
80kg Railway Sleeper / Log
Elevation equalling England's Highest mountain
£14,000 raised for our Two charities @the.not.forgotten
and @ashgate_hospice
A message from one of the participants (our Dr and fellow Dreadnoughter)
"Rob... I am going to have you SECTIONED for creating this event"
Trial by fire has a new rival... trial by DREADNOUGHT

BEST GYMS IN THE WORLD
CHOSEN BY @menshealthuk - Thank you for shining the spotlight on the TEMPLE.
Mens Health contacted the owner , Rob @silverbackblair , a couple of months ago to let London and the UK know who we are...what we do...why we do it. Our values, ethos, equipment variables, and sense of direction are highlighted.
This facility exists to excite... to be different from the mainstream corporate globe gyms.
To be truly original has taken serious resolve and an amazing coaching crew.
The future is only as strong as those around you
Choose wisely

When too stiff/tight...be loose. When too loose...get stiff
Playing with a 16kg KB
At the back of my garden, you will find treasure...rocks and stones weighing up to 120kg that originally lived in my house
Stone stiffness was mine for the 12-month renovation
Flowing for freedom and working on the air time

Who works with me at the moment...
I see influencers and social media gurus promoting a specialist direction... an easy way to identify yourself and stand out from the crowd.
I tell my new coaches the same thing... make sure the universe knows who to send you... and WHY.

This facility is not your mainstream gym
This 'gym' is not mainstream in the unconventional gym category...
We have been here since 2013...grinding...building...developing a space with kids from the age of 4...to 80+ years old veterans.
We have over 25 professional coaches, with many of them battle hardened enough to start their own facilities.
Global educators have always chosen us to host their education.
Most people do not want to live an average life...we don't either.

DISCIPLINE ...MOTIVATION ... WHAT DRIVES YOU TO GET UP!
Today was a 03:45 kinda day...terrible for testosterone, but it's amazing to work through my to-do lists before most have woken up (in some cases... gone to bed)
Since 2007, I have worked with people to adapt...build a life they enjoy... Remove significant pain and/or enter a new career path entirely
It can take a long time to develop fruit. Sometimes, people dont make it. I never underestimate how much work we have to put into ourselves AND our loved ones around us to create the lives we desire.
Life is a huge game... things are constantly moving around you. Books have been written on how to sharpen important tools, so expecting points 1 to 1000 within an Instagram post are unlikely to break the surface
You have to start with a desire to change. Sometimes, there has not been enough pain, excitement, or (enter reasoning here) to drive the peg
Ask those who know me...I have made a strong point to enjoy my life and appreciate what I have.
Money is important...it can create opportunity....
Health is a NON NEGOTIABLE! ... Try being ill or injured if you disagree.
Chasing money without looking after your health could result in the most important commodity you have (time) running out ...
Enjoy the health you have NOW. if you need more because you are in a sh£t state...develop it... you may be around for a long time yet.
Loved ones...Family...Our best friends...the rudders that bring out the best in us. All manner of proverbial can hit the fan, but these champions keep the lights on. Look after them.
Time to look after your assets, and they will look after you... your health and your connection to life.
Working with over 20 superb coaches at my facility wets the whistle for increased accountability

Since leaving the #royalmarines in 2008 I have enjoyed pursuing a variety of stressful tests.
They have always offered me an insight into my #innerchimp ...the things we do when the proverbial hits the fan.
One person's stress is another person's fun...I work hard to keep.my ego and judgemental state to myself (but we all have it)
Test yourself if you want
Develop yourself in whichever style you want...if you want.
I have the #snowdoniaway walk coming up in March. The next test.
It is recommended you take 6 or 7 days. Friends and I will aim for 4 days.
97 miles point to point. The bottom of Snodonia to the very top.
10 to 15kg pack.
5500ms gain.
A follow up trip is planned for my soldiers 😎

Gyms have developed a lot. We used to use steel...wood...stone...human physical interaction as a measure of performance/strength.
There is a time and a place to sit around reading...scrolling...people watching.
The Commando Temple is your safe space to develop without relinquishing your dreams.
If you enjoy the sweat...the steel...the vibe...the genuine interaction of good quality humans...you may have found thw right place.
Drop me a message...I will introduce you to the receptionist (above)

The @commandotemple crew and I have created a life to enhance not only ourselves...but those joining us in life's journey.
#militarytraining and prep feature heavily with my clients. As a #mountainleader I have candidates working with me when not in London...hill prep...navigation...stress testing.
#movementassessments #painmanagement and strong s and c pillars create the bigger picture.
This reel does not show a #juggling act... it shows the culmination of 2 years (since leaving London as our primary home).
Those that know me... know the intensity I like to bring
Those that don't...tend to look at me and know I bring a readiness to the party
