Are you training hard but waking up foggy? Eating clean but stuck on stubborn fat? Recovering slower than you used to—and “one or two drinks” have quietly become most nights?
If you nodded yes to any of that, this page is for you.
I built a simple, no-guilt 30-day challenge to see what life feels like without alcohol—while keeping your training on point and your schedule sane.
But more on that later.
My Story
Six Years ago, I looked the part—strong, lean(ish), running a gym—while putting away 8–10 drinks most nights.
My sleep was trash. My lifts stalled. My temper and energy were up and down. My mind felt dull even when I “felt fine.”
I decided to test a 30-day break.
Within two weeks, my workouts came alive. I dropped stubborn fat. My shoulders stopped aching. I woke up clear. My patience and presence with my family went through the roof.
That one experiment changed everything.
Since then, I’ve coached thousands of people in strength, kettlebells, and recovery-minded fitness. I’m also earning my master’s in addiction counseling, so I understand both the lived experience and the science—how alcohol blunts recovery, hijacks your reward system, and quietly slows progress.
Introducing the Sober Warrior 30-Day Challenge - "Sober October" Edition
A program designed to help you pause alcohol for 30 days, train smarter, recover faster, and get your clarity back—without daily meetings or therapy.
One low price. No subscriptions. Practical, faith-friendly, performance-focused.
Here’s What You'll Get Inside the Sober Warrior Challenge:
1 - The Spartan Sprint 28-Day Challenge — A complete 4-week training program featuring short, challenging workouts designed to build strength, conditioning, and athleticism while you go alcohol-free. Includes four weeks of written workouts plus full video demonstrations.
2 - The 4-Week Sober Warrior Nutrition Reset — A practical, performance-focused nutrition plan designed to help you lose fat, fuel your workouts, and feel your best during the challenge. Each week builds on the last, covering fasting, eating for fat loss and performance, combining fasting with training, and making it all work in real life. Includes four weekly written guides plus four recorded workshops.
3 - The 8-Minute Hip Fix — A simple 4-week mobility program featuring short, 8-minute sessions designed to improve hip mobility, help you move better, and support your training and recovery. Includes four weeks of written plans plus complete video demonstrations.
4 - Daily Action Steps Guide (CBT-Inspired) — 30 days of simple, practical mindset shifts and exercises to help you rewire habits and stay on track.
5 - Live Zoom Kick-Off Call with Forest (Recording Included) — On Thursday, October 1st at 11 am CST, we'll meet live as a group to kick off the challenge together. I'll open with a short, focused teaching to set the tone for the month, covering the science, the mindset, and the practical tools you need to hit the ground running. Then we'll open it up for questions and real talk. The teaching will be recorded so you can catch it if you can't make it live.
6 - Private Community and Accountability Group (Lifetime Access) — Stay connected, encouraged, and supported with like-minded people who are on the same journey.
7 - Daily Scripture Guide — Faith-based reflections and encouragement to strengthen you spiritually during the challenge. (Optional, take what serves you.)
8 - Live Mindset and Habits Workshop (Recording Included) — I'll teach you the most powerful daily action steps, explain how they work, and give you practical ways to apply them.
9 - Live Scripture and Strength Workshop (Recording Included) — I'll share my favorite verses and how they've shaped my own recovery journey, so you can apply them in yours.

What People Say About Taking the Sober Warrior Challenge
“Feeling driven to move or breathe every day. Lots of energy with no alcohol. No more mid-afternoon crash.”
— Challenge Participant
“After a few months without alcohol, my sleep quality drastically improved—and it’s still in a really good place.”
— Challenge Participant
“I can’t remember the last weekend I didn’t have a couple drinks. This time, zero. I slept great, had more energy, and knocked out projects around the house. Even at social events, I cut way back and still felt the benefits. I’m planning to keep going—and got my kettlebell workouts in, too.”
— Challenge Participant
“Not perfect, but my consumption is way down and I feel great. I wake up with hope and energy instead of dread.”
— Challenge Participant
“Made it through the first week. Energy is up, but sleep and stress were tough at first. Still, I hit 7 days alcohol-free. I even noticed I was replacing drinks with food—so I adjusted and kept moving forward.”
— Challenge Participant
“Biggest win? Stopping the insanity cycle.”
— Challenge Participant
REASON WHY I’M OFFERING THIS
Why am I offering this for just $30?
Because most people don’t need a daily meeting to test alcohol-free life—they need a simple plan, a little structure, and a nudge. If you discover you want deeper accountability after this, I offer coaching. But the 30-day challenge should stand on its own.
GUARANTEE
30-day, no-questions-asked guarantee.
Try the challenge. If you don’t feel better—clearer mornings, better workouts, steadier mood—email my team and get a full refund. Simple.
PRICE JUSTIFICATION
For less than the cost of a single night out — or even one week of "just one more" that steals tomorrow's training — you're getting a complete 30-day detox and performance reset, a live kickoff call, three bonus training and nutrition programs, and workshop recordings you keep forever. Spread across 30 days, that's $1 a day to test a change that could reset your body, mind, and spirit.
OBJECTIONS ANSWERED
“I don’t have time.” -- The daily steps are 2 minutes. The movement is plug-and-play. You’ll gain time back with clearer mornings.
“I can get this free online.” -- You could—but it would take weeks to patch together. This is done-for-you and sequenced.
“Is this therapy?” -- No. It’s a health and performance reset. If 30 days feels unusually tough, you’ll get a vetted resource list for next steps.
“Do I have to be religious?” -- No. Faith content is optional.
“Do I need kettlebells?” -- No. Walks, yoga, and bodyweight options are included.
“Will I lose strength?” -- Most report better sleep and recovery—lifts often improve.
