Hybrid James Program

2x2 Movement

Coaches
Nick Gilmore and Josh Raies

Too many men are drifting. Spiritually passive. Mentally distracted. Physically inconsistent. The result? Wasted potential– being less than God made them to be. Shallow relationships– unable to form and maintain meaningful bonds and friendships. Lack of clarity on what really matters– aimless in their energy and efforts.

2x2 was built to fight that drift. It’s a daily compass — not a crutch — giving you just enough direction to take action. Each day you get three focused prompts (Mind, Body, Soul) that push you toward strength, discipline, and purpose.

Over time, the small steps add up. You’ll train your body with intention, sharpen your thinking, and anchor your soul in God’s Word. Not through hype or endless scrolling — but through consistent, practical action.

The world doesn’t need more passive men. It needs builders. Cultivators. Disciple-makers. That’s why 2x2 exists.

This is a special 2X2 month long program that is a study through the book of James paired with intentional hybrid training. The body workouts in this program will be conducive to improving your overhead press, deadlift, 30min running test, and 2X2 Benchmark workout Exodus. Complete with daily mind prompts, this 4 week program will help you grow in practical and functional faith and fitness.

FAQs
What is 2x2?
2x2 is a daily framework for holistic growth—training body, mind, and soul in community.
How is 2x2 different from other workout programs or devotionals?
Unlike most programs, 2x2 never ends, integrates all three areas of growth, and doesn’t require perfection to see results.
What does “training the mind, body, and soul” actually mean?
It means following an intentional, balanced, progressive plan that develops strength, intellect, and spiritual depth together.
Who is 2x2 for? (age, fitness level, faith background)
2x2 is for men—especially ages 18–35—who want to grow in fitness, faith, and mental strength, at any experience level.
Is this program beginner-friendly?
We recommend some level of training history for this program.
Do I need to be in shape already to start?
No—workouts can be autoregulated for beginners or advanced athletes.
Do I need to be a Christian to benefit from 2x2?
No—while the soul content is rooted in Scripture, any man seeking growth will benefit.
How much time does each day’s content take?
Expect 30–60 minutes for workouts and 15–45 minutes for mind and soul prompts.
Is this program more about fitness or faith—or both equally?
Both—each day includes body, mind, and soul prompts, though you can lean into what you need most.

Both are possible—workouts can be modified for a basic home setup or done in a gym
