Last week we all felt the effects of Tropical Storm Zeta. We either were awakened in the middle of the night from heavy winds, woke up to trees down near our home, or some people even lost power for several hours. But the next morning when I went outside my house and saw all of

Let Loose Of The Halloween Candy
We all have things we are proud of in our life. Whether it’s some kind of achievement, promotion, or recognition. I once did the CrossFit workout ‘Grace’, which is 30 clean and jerks with 135 pounds, in 1:24. That’s a pretty legit time. I’ve also eaten a 10-ounce bag of Reece’s Pieces in one sitting.

Don’t chase the post-workout feeling
If you have been CrossFitting for a while, you’ve probably had this happened to you. You just completed a workout and you fall to the ground as time expires. You are breathing really hard and you can feel your heart in your chest-thumping up and down. You’re drenched in sweat and your arms and legs

Has a kettlebell changed your life?
I know it sounds kind of odd, but has a kettlebell changed your life? Has a rower made you a better person? Did a barbell make you go to the gym? The answer to all three questions is probably the same — No. No, a kettlebell didn’t change your life and a rower didn’t make
Going from inactive to active is tough
When you grow up playing sports, specifically football, working out is just part of your daily routine. Once football was over in college, I moved on to running, and then I found CrossFit. I’ve been able to stay active nearly my entire life. That’s what has made the last five months so incredibly hard. From
Some good that came from COVID
This year has been interesting, to say the least. The COVID pandemic has brought many challenges to each of us, including businesses.

Is Sleep Affecting Your Weight?
Did you know that sleep affects your metabolism AND ability to lose weight? Sleep allows our bodies to recover from stressors such as work, working out, emotional stress, and so much more.
