The OPEX RC Competitor

Today’s topic of discussion: The OPEX RC Competitor

I posted about this idea on my instagram a few weeks back.

I’ve been spending a good amount of time thinking about where we (OPEX RC) can be invaluable in the fitness space. And I continually come back to us being the guide for driven competitors who need a plan to reach their competitive potential. Competitors who not only want to reach new heights both physically and competitively, but in all aspects of their lives.

The OPEX RC Competitor is someone who sees that our lives are not solely the outcomes of our physical endeavors; there’s more to them.

The exploration of the physical opens the door to a side of ourselves we could not find elsewhere. We bump up against who we think we are with who we are born to become. And through this physical exploration in the gym and on the competition floor, we better understand ourselves and become more whole.

We at OPEX RC create the space that is required for this transformation to occur. And we believe that these tenets (listed below) speak to the principles that are rooted in being a OPEX RC Competitor.

The OPEX RC Competitor…

Trains Different.

Prepares Smarter.

Competes Better.

Through these shifts, the OPEX RC Competitor is able to gain a level of fulfillment through their physical quest that they couldn’t gain otherwise.

At OPEX RC we…

Guide driven competitors who need a plan to reach their competitive potential.

And through that plan, they become what we call a OPEX RC Competitor, embarking on a fulfilling physical quest that will transform them for the better.
