ENOUGH RUN CLUBS. LET'S LIFT. 🏋️
SF Tech Week is packed with wellness events. Morning runs, yoga sessions, cold plunges, meditation, you name it. But where are the events for lifters?
For those who would rather start their morning under a barbell, welcome to the DON'T BE A FRANGO LIFTING CLUB: TECH WEEK EDITION.
What the hell is a Frango? In Brazil, frango means chicken. In gym slang, it's someone who's just going through the motions. Half reps. Phone between sets (sometimes during). The weight they know they can handle. They show up. They just aren't doing the work that matters.
The gym is one of the few honest rooms left. No one can do the work for you. Every rep, every excuse, every decision is yours. And so are the results you get. We believe that how you show up in the gym translates into how you show up at home, at work, and in life.
All of us can act a little frango sometimes. We all could use a push from each other to keep getting stronger and building the lives and companies we want. And the gym is the perfect setting for that. That's why we created this lifting club. To surround ourselves with people who push us to get stronger, think bigger, work smarter, and put our energy into what actually matters.
This isn't a pep talk session. No instructor. No guru. No kumbaya. Just iron, sweat, and people who won't let you be a frango.
We're taking the DON'T BE A FRANGO LIFTING CLUB on a tour of gyms across San Francisco during Tech Week, bringing together founders, builders, and investors who get that how you train is how you build.
Bring your own program, train with a buddy, or show up solo and meet someone new. We'll help everyone connect. Just come prepared to work hard and have fun!
The schedule and access details are coming soon. RSVP to stay in the loop and join us for one workout or the entire week. Heads up: depending on the gym, some sessions may require a day pass or access fee. We'll share all costs upfront once each location is confirmed.
WHAT TO EXPECT 🏋️ A real strength session. Physical, mental, and for some of us, spiritual.
🤝 Train alongside founders, builders, and investors who keep their inner frango in check, in the gym and beyond.
💪 Make new friends and maybe find the training buddy who keeps you not-frango long after Tech Week ends.
🐔 A free Don't Be a Frango shirt (while supplies last).
Still not sure if this is for you? Show up. Put in the work. Don't be a frango!
