About Us

“Crawling is acceptable. Failing is acceptable. Puking is acceptable. Crying is acceptable. Bleeding is acceptable.
Quitting is not.”

This strength didn’t come from lifting weights—it came from getting back up when life knocked us down.

At Colson’s Mind Over Body, we train with those who give it their ALL, because that’s where real results begin. If you're willing to show up broken but determined, we’ll walk with you—step for step—until you rise stronger than ever.

🧠 Our Foundation

Rooted in chemistry and kinesiology, our training philosophy is both healing and high-performance. We specialize in breaking through plateaus, reigniting purpose, and building powerful connections through community and movement.

Our crown jewel?
Six Pillars of Strength:

Concentration – focus your mind on one goal
Center – develop a strong and stable core
Control – master your body’s movements
Precision – train with intention and detail
Flow – move with uninterrupted purpose
Breath – fuel the powerhouse within

🙏 A Message From Erik

Right hand to God—
I’ve faced the complete loss of hope.
I’ve known what it feels like to want to stay weak—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.
But true strength comes from one thing: getting back up and saying, “No. I’m not done yet.”

That’s who I’m here for.
The fighters. The broken. The ones who still believe in better.

If that’s you, you’re family here.

🏡 Our Studio

Located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, our private studio is family-based and dog-friendly. It overlooks a peaceful stretch of Lake Minnetonka, with miles of quiet trails for post-session walks or reflective moments.

We offer a portable gym floor, professional equipment, and sanitized tools after every use—so you can train safely, privately, and purposefully.
