10 Years of StrongArm CrossFit changing people's lives!

Yesterday marked 10 years since we opened the doors at StrongArm.

It has been a crazy, yet amazing ride along the way.

When I first opened, I didn't know anything about running a business. I loved coaching fitness. I loved being around people. I REALLY loved helping people. So, I figured that was all I needed to run a successful business. Show up, help people lose weight. Laugh while doing so. Easy peasy, right?!

Haha. I was wrong. We still have a blast, I still love coaching, being around people, and helping people. That's the easy part.

The part I didn't really think about was all the late nights, early mornings, and not getting near enough sleep, or the small fire that we had in the gym. I really didn't ever think we would be shut down for 3 months because of COVID! ha Crazy times!

Over the years a big lesson that I have learned is that coaching is not just about the workouts. Sometimes it is about being there when someone is going though the hardest season of their life. I've had clients come in carrying grief, stress, and struggles that had nothing to do with fitness. The amount of tears shed while sharing info weith me is absurd. Being able to help these people through the darkest times is a blessing, and something that I have enjoyed.

I'll never forget one of my favorite clients who came in to train just one week before passing from cancer. Her strength is something I think about all the time.

Along the way, we have had many people who have helped.

I want to give a special shout out to:
Mollie B.
Jared B.
Jen C.
Brendan R.
Megan R.
Julie R.
Eric R.
Becky S.
Ryan S.
Patton S.
Deb S.
Casey G.

These 12 members have been with us for all ten years! In some way, They have all had a tremendous impact on StrongArm being what it is today. I cannot thank you enough!!!

I truly believe StrongArm is helping save many lives throughout the area. I'm looking foward to seeing how many more we can help over the next 10 years.

Since I love stories, feel free to drop your favorite StrongArm story in comments!

Kelly R has gained 6 pounds of muscle!!!

Kelly came in with a goal of gaining muscle. Her muscle and weight was a little low, and she wanted to improve that.

Well, she did!

How did she do it???

This might sound crazy, BUT...

Consistency!

Even though she has a family at home, she works, and is busy in the evening with the kids' sports, she was still able to find a way to show up and consistently in the gym and keep her protein intake up.

She has now gained muscle, she's at a healthy weight, she feels great, she is strong, and she is super healthy and fit!

Great job, Kelly!

p.s. be on the lookout for a post about her daughter doing well, also! :)

Parents... you deserve, and need, an hour to yourself everyday.

We see you hustling around. Being an unpaid Uber to your kids. Cooking meals. Trying to keep the house in order. Making sure homework is completed. Doing laundry and other chores.

You are getting very little sleep. But, you are pushing through. Lets grab another coffee, shall we? Gotta keep going!

I know this, because I am that parent as well.

90% of our clientelle are those parents, also.

Our coaches are in the same boat.

The thing that is different between our clients and you, is that our clients are coming in to the gym for 45 minutes every day, so they can take some time to themselves, recharge, and blow off some steam. Heck, they are even getting healthier in the meantime. :)

You have earned this as well!

You need to recharge.

You need to take back control of your health.

You can do this while still being a great parent.

Michelle has opened up some of her availability to help you busy parents during the day time hours! So now, we have openings at all times of the day!

Drop those kids off at school or the daycare and come in and take some time to yourself.

Kids are too little for school? Bring them in with you. We have a kids area for them. Our members do this all the time!

If this sounds good to you, comment with "my time" or email us at [email protected]

If you are struggling with pain, injuries, weight management, health issues, mental issues... Just give us a chance.

I had a member tell me this morning that she is so happy that she "let me talk her into joining". 😄

She has been battling back pain for years. Injections, doctor visits, etc. nothing helped.

Until she found us. She feels so much better now.

You have nothing to lose, but you have everything to gain!

If you need help, let's have a conversation.
Comment with "let's talk" and I'll reach out to you.

Over the last month I have made a big push to help more people who are on GLP-1s.

I have been sitting down with both members and non members to see what the common trends are and how we can help them improve thier results on the drug.

Two things I'm seeing…
1. People are losing A LOT of weight!
2. People are losing A LOT of muscle too!

The people who are losing a lot of muscle are only taking the drug and maybe doing some walking.

The people who are seeing the best results of losing a lot of body fat and keeping most of their muscle are the ones who are doing resistance training with it.

In order to keep/build muscle, you need two things: the muscle needs to be challenged and broken down and then you need enough protein to repair and build the muscles bigger.

You can't maintain muscle with only one of these. You will quickly lose muscle if you have neither of these.

The drug is great at quieting the hunger cues. Great for weigh loss. Can be bad if you don't prioritize protein.

A fix for this is the make sure you are getting your protein in every day (minimum of.7g of protein/ pound of your goal weight).

Add at least 3 days of resistance training. I don't care what kind, just something to challenge the muscles.

Our StrongArm clients who are on GLP-1s are seeing great results because they have a mix of resistance training with conditioning, while also focusing on getting enough protein.

Don't settle for just seeing the number on the scale go down. You can be so much healthier if you maintain your muscle at the same time.

If you are on a GLP-1, I would love to have you come in and do a scan. I will ask you some questions to learn your experience on the drug, then we can retest after a couple months.

This is for both members and non members.

Let me know if you would like to schedule a time!

We have 3 nutrition clients who have been crushing their nutrition to the point they are graduating and no longer need the coaching! This is awesome!

This is also great for you because his has opened 3 new spots for new clients to build these same healthy habits.

The coaching consist of an initial consult, followed by weekly check-ins to help problem solve and provide accountability. This is not a cookie cutter approach. We work with where you are at in your life right now and build you up for success.

If you need some help, comment with "imore info" and we can talk more to see how we can help.

You have two options when you get injured..
1. Modify your routine and keep exercising so you can continue to improve your health and fitness.

2. Stop exercising all together and watch your health and fitness deteriorate.

You know which option is best. 😄

Take a look at this video.
