It isn’t magic, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be hard. Here’s some ways we can stay on track for longer. Don’t forget, this is supposed to be something we can maintain indefinitely, not something that we use only for a little while.

These little loves of mine. They are challenging, they are loud, they are stubborn, they are dramatic, they are hilarious, they are sweet, they are gentle, they are annoying, they are fun, they are my world.

I have been fortunate enough to have a stoic guide through all of this - reading the and the and trying to put the words into practice. It isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it.

Will I be a ghost that haunts my children in their future, or will I be an ancestor that guides them? Discovering where to soften so they can be vulnerable and where to be firm so they can grow to their full potential… that’s the challenge. But, I am not afraid - I will take each day as it comes and just try to do better than yesterday.

I hope you are successful in all your endeavors. If fitness is new to you, or you haven’t had much success in the past, here are three tips to help keep the goals alive throughout the whole year and beyond!

My good friends and amazing training partners are competing this weekend! Go out and watch them tear it up!

The colds plunge crew at - come catch us next week at 10:30a again!

For those in the challenge, don’t forget we have a cold plunge at the gym at 10:30a (Sunday, Oct. 22). If you are not in the challenge but would like the opportunity to see what it’s all about, let’s get it started (this is the last week to sign up for this one). This is NOT a crash diet experiment to have you do unrealistic tasks to drop weight in 6 weeks, this is a challenge to jumpstart your lifelong behaviors that Will lead you to a better health span and lifespan.

Here is a look at your EVSC Athletes that are advancing to the next stage in the CrossFit Games season.

We are incredibly proud of these athletes as they pushed like hell to get to this position. However, we are eternally grateful to all of you that help support them all - whether that it through constant encouragement, giving them times to beat, or just good old fashioned verbal abuse. Thank you to everyone that shows up every day and helps keep that competitive spirit alive.

Grateful for .pt for keeping me healthy and prepped for all that is to come. She has been holding my body together as I try to tear it apart. She has been a good friend and a great person to have in my corner ever since we met. Thanks Michelle!

I love these days… the lessons, the fun, the adventure, the specialness of each night and morning. These girls keep me on my toes but are my greatest joy.

What an amazing group! We laughed, we cried, we sweat a little. These wonderful people showed up and put in the hard work to grow and get better. I had such a fun time teaching them and being a small part of their fitness journeys. Thank you for letting me teach your athletes the **ch and these past weekends!

My little pumpkin started physical therapy last week for her shortened Achilles tendons which is stopping her from being able to walk, stand, or balance. She is so energetic and wants to play so bad… it is hard to watch her go through it, but it is necessary for her to grow. What was hard for you to watch your kids go through but they are better because of it?

You wouldn’t know it from all the pictures, but and I worked out with a few weeks ago! We had a blast. We got beat, but we worked hard and did our absolute best. I love these two and I love having their abilities and drive push me to my own limits.
