On this episode of In Pursuit, the guys wrap up the home gym series by building the ultimate $10,000 setup—what’s actually worth the splurge, what’s a waste, and which “big ticket” pieces change the game (hello functional trainer, StairMaster debate, and all the toys you swear you need).

They also drop some real-world housekeeping: a Western Hunt Expo late-night workout at Ute CrossFit (cap is currently 50), plus a February Playbook discount for Mayhem Hunt programming—and then Rich casually announces a super-limited Colorado Hunt Prep Camp aimed at getting you mountain-ready for September.

If you'll be at Western Hunt Expo in Salt Lake City, then join Mayhem Hunt and MTN OPS for a workout at UTE CrossFit with Rich Froning!Where633 East 3300 South, #Suite B, Salt Lake City, UT 84106WhenFri, Feb 13, 2026 at 7:00 PM https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mayhem-hunt-x-mtn-ops-western-hunt-expo-workout-tickets-1980562731445?aff=oddtdtcreator
