Since you have been chilling at home with you, yourself, and your boredom have you found yourself walking aimlessly to the pantry? What used to be a weekend thing has become a Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday thing and you find yourself snacking all the doo-dah-day. Are you actually hungry or are you just plain bored?  This is a serious question because there are definitely times when I am truly hungry because I pushed my meals too far apart aka waited too long OR under-ate throughout the day because I am on this “cool-new-eating-too-little-calorie-diet” and now I am willing to eat anything I can get my hands on. There is something about being over-the-edge hungry that turns into hanger that turns into not caring what it is or how much it is that I put into my body. Did you know it takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that...Read more

We have all done it. Finished a workout and completely crushed it – had a plan – followed the plan – things went better than expected – and we are feeling on top of the world…CONFIDENT & PROUD. You go to put your score in Wodify and decide to peek at the Leaderboard just to validate how much you crushed it – and BAM. Everyone crushed the workout too and they crushed it more than you. Automatically your mood shifts from “I am too cool for school” to “wow I did horrible”. That pit builds in your stomach because although you are happy for your buddies you are bummed that you didn’t do nearly as well as you thought. Your confidence comes crashing down and fast.  Is this you once and a while…or is this you ALL the dang time? If this is a once and a while thing, probably...Read more

And over the years, we’ve developed one of the most results-driven programs the fitness industry has to offer.  But how do we know it’s working? The cool part about the human body is that it always tells the truth. You can count on your body to give you exactly what you give to it and there are infinite ways to track your progress. To us, it’s important that we track progress in a few different ways that have a strong correlation to athlete happiness and a sense of accomplishment. Check out these categories below. DISCLAIMER: While it’s important to track the below on a regular basis, there must be enough time between tests to get an accurate assessment of your health & fitness...Read more
