NUTRITION AND FITNESS THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SEASON
The holidays are fast approaching and we’ve already seen some people take a step back from training or their goals to handle the busy times… I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to do that!! This week, Ben hosted a “Fitness and Nutrition Success Through the Holiday Season” Workshop at the gym, and I wanted […]
ARE YOU DOING ENOUGH SELF-CARE?
While chatting with a few of our members lately I’ve noticed a recurring theme has stood out – the struggle to prioritize self-care. It’s a challenge that so many of us face as we juggle the demands of work, family and life in general. The cost of not addressing this challenge can be substantial – leading to […]
IS SNACKING AT NIGHT SABOTAGING YOUR FITNESS GOALS?
One of the biggest saboteurs of fitness, fat loss, and overall health is snacking. Particularly snacking after dinner. You had a long day, come home to a great meal with your family, do some things around the house, and then it’s time to unwind. You grab your go-to snack, put on your favorite show on netflix, and relax. After […]
HOW MANY STEPS PER DAY DO YOU REALLY NEED?
When it comes to getting your steps in, there is more and more research coming out giving more practical and specific guidelines. You’ve probably seen the guideline of hitting 10,000 steps per day.

THE STEPPING STOOL METHOD TO MANAGE YOUR PRIORITIES AND ENERGY
One of the biggest obstacles we see with members looking to lose fat, get stronger, improve their mental health, and make a sustainable lifestyle change is time management. Between kids, grandkids, work, leisure, more kid stuff, that other work thing, seeing family, and then trying to squeeze in workouts, eating healthy, and some time to […]
DO YOU FEEL TOO BUSY?
This past weekend I went up to our cabin in the woods with some friends to upgrade our atrocious solar system into something that actually works. I know doing manual labour on a roof isn’t everyone’s idea of the perfect weekend, but for me it was outstanding. I watched the birds fly over the lake […]
HOW TO DEAL WITH ACHES, PAINS, AND NAGGING INJURIES
I was talking to a few members at our community party recently and we were discussing aches and pains and how to deal with them. One had a “bad back” and is now squatting pain free. Another has a shoulder that gives her trouble and recently has regained almost a full, pain-free, range of motion. […]
