Скачать или смотреть From Prison to Purpose: How the Burpee Bros Are Changing Lives One Rep at a Time

What started behind bars has turned into a movement built on discipline, accountability and brotherhood.

Meet the Burpee Bros -- a group of men in Ohio who, for many of them, found fitness while incarcerated, reunited by chance after release, and committed to changing their lives through burpees. And now inspire others to do the same.

No machines.
No shortcuts.
Just burpees — hundreds of them — every single day.

In this powerful and inspiring story by journalist Taylor Bruck, you’ll see how the Burpee Bros use fitness as a tool for mental health, weight loss, and personal transformation. Some members have lost dozens of pounds. Others say the discipline they’ve built in the gym has changed how they approach life, work, and even big decisions like moving across the country.

Their motto is simple: health is wealth — and they believe if you can get through burpees, you can get through anything.

You’ll also learn how the group:
• Met while incarcerated and reconnected after prison
• Uses fitness to support mental health and self-discipline
• Inspires others to join — for free — no matter their fitness level
• Gives back through their nonprofit, "The Mastermind Foundation," feeding the homeless and mentoring youth
• Aims to be positive role models and father figures in underserved communities

This is more than a workout story — it’s about second chances, consistency, and choosing growth over excuses.

If you’re looking for fitness motivation, a real weight loss journey, or proof that it’s never too late to change your life, this story is for you.

👇 WATCH. GET MOTIVATED. AND IF YOU’RE READY — JOIN THEM.
