2x2 Base Programming

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.

FAQs
What is 2x2?
2x2 is a daily framework for holistic growth—training body, mind, and soul in community.

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.

Absolutely—2x2 is designed to be a great starting place.
Do I need to be in shape already to start?
