OUR MISSION
We build strong men through fitness, brotherhood, and accountability.
We unite men through fitness to build a brotherhood grounded in discipline, accountability, and purpose — pulling each other up to become stronger for the people who count on us.
We gather in person, connect virtually each week, and train hard daily.
The Train Hard Men's Club
A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT FOR MEN, BUILT ONE SUNRISE AT A TIME.
FOUNDING.
The THMC is a grassroots fitness movement specifically for men, founded in Los Gatos, California by Jason Khalipa. What started with ten men meeting before sunrise has grown into a brotherhood united by shared effort, discipline, and accountability.
Our mission is simple — to connect men through fitness and uphold the standard for what it means to be a good man.
OUR CHARTER.
We are a free club led by captains, not coaches. We meet early, train hard, and build strength together — physically, mentally, and spiritually. Workouts are simple, scalable, and built around shared suffering and mutual support. Afterward, we connect over coffee, conversation, and commitment to becoming better husbands, fathers, friends, and leaders.
NO GURUS.
We aren’t therapists, relationship experts, or guru’s. We are a collection of men going through life looking to pull each other up using fitness as the tool. This is what the world needs more of right now.
We meet early, train hard, and build strength together — physically, mentally, and spiritually.
The THMC welcomes men of all fitness levels — from seasoned athletes to those just getting started. There are no memberships, no fees, and no excuses. Just men showing up, putting in work, and sharpening one another — one handshake, one workout at a time.

Five non-negotiables for the men of Train Hard
1 LIFE WILL BE HARD.
Hardship is inevitable. Financial strain, personal loss, setbacks — life will test you. But you don’t wait for life to get easier. You get stronger to handle whatever comes your way. You train because life demands a stronger version of you. We don’t fold. We don’t wait. We prepare.
2 STACK WINS EARLY.
Your first decision sets the tone for everything else. You train early — not because everyone can, but because prioritizing training first ensures it gets done. Whether it’s at dawn or after work, you make it non-negotiable. You eat solid meals — not because fasting is “wrong,” but because strong men fuel their bodies instead of running on junk food and excuses. Start strong. Stay strong.
Start strong. Stay strong.
3 TRAIN HARD. NEVER ZERO.
Your body is your weapon. If it is weak, you are weak. If it is strong, you are unstoppable. We don’t train for aesthetics. We don’t train for ego. We train because strong men are capable men. There is no off-season. There is no “when life slows down.” Every single day, you do something — even when it’s hard. We don’t quit. We train. Always.
4 PROTECT. PROVIDE.
You are the first and last line of defense for your family. Not just physically — but in every way that matters. We train so we can stand strong. We work so we can lead from the front. We don’t get to opt out. We don’t get to sit back and hope someone else steps up.
5 CUT THE CRUTCH
Most men have a crutch — something they lean on to escape. Alcohol, endless scrolling, junk food, distractions disguised as rewards. At TRAIN HARD, we redefine moderation. It’s rare. It’s intentional. It’s not a crutch. Replace your vice with discipline, purpose, and brotherhood. And you’ll find that here.
