Here we go again. Summer is over. We're plowing through fall and...winter is coming. As the weather shifts, you might notice your body feeling a little different; stiff joints, old injuries talking back, or just more general “sensations” than usual. You’re not imagining it. Here’s what you can do about it: 1. Warm up like you mean it. 2. Ease into your sessions. 3. Watch your food choices. 4. Get your rest. You have got to make sure you sleep. Your body (and mind) are going to be doing a whole lot in this season. Making sure you get enough high quality sleep is critical. Get to bed a bit sooner if you can. Do a brain dump to get your "to-do list" out of your head before crawling into bed. Take some magnesium to help you relax. And remember, discomfort doesn’t always mean injury. Sometimes it’s just your body asking for more prep, more patience, better fuel or a damn nap. If you’re feeling off or noticing more aches during training, let your trainer know. We’ll help you adjust, modify, or slow things down so you can keep moving safely and productively. Move smart. Warm up well. Stay consistent.

I love training. I love training hard. I love to challenge my body and push the limits. I think you should too. I also think there’s a better way to do it. I’ve spent 20 years working as a trainer/coach. 20 years of getting people started. 20 years of helping people navigate injury. I’ve dedicated my life to watching people learn, grow, and get strong AF. Every single person I’ve had the pleasure to work with has left a lasting impact on me and how I train. I do this because I love it. I do this because I want YOU to love it just as much.
Everybody wants results yesterday. Fast fixes. Six-week programs. Thirty-day challenges. The promise that if you just work hard enough for a short enough period of time, you’ll finally reach the finish line. But here’s the thing: there is no finish line. Real health. Real strength. Feeling good in your body. Being able to pick up your kids, travel, get off the floor, carry your groceries, hike, play, and do the things you want to do as you get older. That’s a lifetime project. Guess what?...
Today, Tovah and I toured the local middle school for our son. Our little boy is not so little anymore and honestly, it stopped me in my tracks. Twelve years ago, we were bringing him home from the hospital.Now we’re walking hallways seeing all these grown up kids, talking schedules, lockers and wondering how we got here so quickly. It’s wild! People say it all the time, but you don’t really feel it until you’re standing in it:The days are long. The years are short. I talk to women every...
Many women often tell a similar story:“My back hurts.”“I know my core is weak.”“I need to strengthen my abs.” But here’s the truth most people don’t hear:It’s not always your core.More often than not, your legs just aren’t strong enough. When your leg muscles are underdeveloped (think glutes, quads, and hamstrings) they cannot support your structure. This results in your body has to borrow stability from somewhere else. Usually that “somewhere” is your lower back or your pelvic floor.And that...
