Inside the Squad: How the Pocket Squats Team Trains and Thinks

TL;DR:
Pocket Squats wasn’t built in a boardroom — it was built under a barbell.
This is how our team trains, thinks, and lives by the same principles we put into the app: discipline, adaptability, and growth through challenge.

1. We Don’t Just Build It - We Live It

Every feature inside Pocket Squats comes from real training experience.
Our developers, designers, and founders all train — and that changes how we think.

When we talk about progressive overload, we’re not just writing code — we’re testing it on the gym floor.
When we fine-tune AI form feedback, we’re analysing real movement patterns from our own sessions.

“Pocket Squats was never meant to be a product — it’s our philosophy, coded.”

2. The Team Behind the Reps

Our team is made up of lifters, runners, and athletes — but more importantly, people who believe in discomfort as a teacher.

A normal week at Pocket Squats looks like this:

• Morning lifts before stand-ups.

• Debriefs over recovery shakes.

• Whiteboard sessions fuelled by caffeine and competition.

We don’t separate performance from productivity — we blend them.
Because the same principles that build a body build a company: consistency, accountability, and controlled chaos.

3. The Way We Train

We train like we build — with structure and adaptability.

Our core philosophy mirrors the Pocket Squats experience:

• Intent over intensity: Every rep and feature has purpose.

• Feedback loops: What’s measured improves — whether it’s form or product performance.

• Adaptation: If it’s not working, we evolve — fast.

We challenge each other constantly.
Some weeks it’s who can hit a new PR.
Other weeks it’s who can find the next big user insight.
Either way — it’s always a test.

For a deeper dive into this mindset, read “Building a Culture of Challenge: Why We Do Hard Things Together.” — it shows how challenge unites everything we do.

And if you want to live that mindset, take on “The Pocket Squats Challenge: 7 Days to Build Mental Toughness.” — the same challenge we use to sharpen our own focus.

4. The Pocket Squats Mindset

Our mantra: “Train the way you live.”
Because how you move under pressure reflects how you handle everything else.

That’s why Pocket Squats exists — to turn training into a mirror for mindset.
To help people see where they hesitate, where they thrive, and where they can grow.

5. More Than a Team - a Squad

“Squad” isn’t just in our name — it’s our identity.
It’s how we work, how we train, and how we show up.

We push, we fail, we learn, and we try again.
Because progress isn’t linear, it’s earned.

“Inside Pocket Squats, we don’t talk about balance. We talk about flow — between effort, recovery, and purpose.”
