Chase Crouse - Endure the Fire

Chase Crouse is the CEO and founder of Hypuro Fit and is our guest on this episode. Hypuro Fit is a Catholic approach to fitness or stated another way, it’s fitness with a holy purpose. Chase explains the philosophy of Hypuro Fit is not just to work out to achieve a ripped body, although strength and nutrition are a great by-product. The philosophy of Hypuro Fit is inspired by St. Pope John Paul II’s teaching on the Theology of the Body. It’s rooted in the goal of helping participants integrate a healthy lifestyle with a healthy spiritual life. Chase frequently says, “You can’t give what you don’t have.” If your body is out of shape, you might have trouble physically helping others. Likewise, if you are not spiritually fit you may not be able to help someone who may need spiritual help. Hypuro Fit’s mission is to help their clients integrate the mind and spirit and ultimately to grow in holiness. 

 

Hypuro Fit is an app-based ministry and can be used at home, at the gym, or wherever a person works out.  Hypuro Fit is staffed by a team of nationally certified trainers who are authentic disciples of Jesus and are devout Catholics. They also help clients with nutrition. Chase explains the different levels, what clients receive at each level, and the pricing. Hypuro Fit is not a canned program. It’s not an ‘everyone has to work out this way and eat that way’ approach. It’s individualized based on a client’s needs, goals, schedules, lifestyles, etc. Interestingly, about a third of Hypuro Fit’s clients are priests or religious (nuns, deacons, etc.)

 

Chase ends the podcast with a provocative question: Why are you working to be physically and spiritually fit? Chase then answers his own question, “For Catholics, your why is always a who. If your why is a who, then it’s based on love and you’re off to a good start!”
