Lent begins on Ash Wednesday - February 18th.

It’s a season of prayer, repentance, and fasting as we prepare ourselves for Holy Week and Easter - the most important time for all Christians, everywhere.

At the Trexo gym, we’re going to practice fasting for all 40 days of Lent (from Ash Wednesday till Palm Sunday).

Don’t worry, we will be eating! But we will be attuned to the practice of fasting for all 40 days.

We’ll get 6 posts on the Practice of Fasting, and each Wednesday during Lent, we’ll hear from a different spiritual Trainer about Fasting:

St. John Chrystostom

St. Basil the Great

Amma Syncletica

St. Leo the Great

St. Augustine of Hippo

St. John Cassian


Plus: we’ll get daily support and encouragement all through Lent as we practice our own fast.

Fasting is our call to spiritual endurance training. To hearing God’s voice, and nothing else. To remembering our dependence on God, and our preparation for standing on holy ground.



Join the gym to Fast with Trexo this Lent…
