After losing a lot of muscle on his mission in Argentina, where he never had access to a gym or equipment, Donovan felt a strong desire to help Jaren turn his professional program into a real, impactful business that can reach missionaries everywhere.
Why we built it
Missionaries give everything to the work and get very little guidance on taking care of the body doing it. We wanted a plan that fits a mission morning, needs nothing but floor space, keeps the scriptures in the room, and lasts the whole mission. So we built one.
- Bodyweight only, so it works in any apartment
- Three levels, so it scales from your first transfer to your last
- Scripture-anchored, because the mission is spiritual first
- Built around transfers and P-Days, not a gym schedule
