I'm Mike — the athlete and coach behind BANR.
I've been competing my whole life. I played baseball in college, and when that chapter closed, the drive never did. My training evolved the way most of ours does: years in the weight room chasing size, then into high-intensity functional training, and finally into the functional endurance work I live in today — the exact engine it takes to race Hyrox.
It has helped me compete at a high level: four first-place finishes in my age division in Men's Pro, and two appearances at the Hyrox World Championships.
BANR is everything I've learned, distilled into one program. I took the strength work you actually love — barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells — and crossed it with real endurance training. You keep lifting. You build a bigger engine. You get stronger and you go longer.
The programming changes constantly, so you never plateau and never get bored. Because the goal isn't just to get you fitter — it's to make you enjoy the work while you do it.
Why BANR?
Each day you work out is a win. Too often in fitness we measure ourselves against everyone else — but the most important opponent is yesterday's version of you. Can you show up each day to be better than yesterday? Stack those wins and your life gets better. And when you win, you raise a banner. That's BANR: your wins, earned one day at a time.
