Hungry Hearts Gym + Kitchen

The time has come! This is coach ’s final week at Hungry Hearts before he moves on to focus full-time on his landscaping business, .

I first met Seth around 10 years ago working at a CrossFit gym in Watertown, MA. Working at CrossFit Arsenal Seth made a name for himself with his thruster prowess and general resistance to wearing shirts/sleeves.

In October of 2024, Seth and his wife Sarah moved up to New Hampshire, and he immediately became a part of the Hungry Hearts team.

Since then, Seth has competed in Hungry Hearts cooking competitions, climbed mountains with us, pulled giant trucks, pioneered Flannel Fridays, and has been an integral part of our coaching team.

Seth will be retiring from fitness to go all in on his entrepreneurship dream. His last classes will be Wednesday. Be sure to wish him well, he will be missed!

If you need any landscaping done we highly recommend you check him out. You’ll certainly still see him around working on the Hungry Hearts property!

Another successful Mt. Washington summit!

This past weekend the HH crew headed up north, and with the help of guides and , hiked up the Ammonoosuc Ravine trail, across the snowfields, and made it to the top of Mt. Washington.

The team learned some new crampon and ice axe skills and put their fitness to the test. The weather and conditions were very favorable compared to what we encountered last year!

Big thanks to our guides and the crew for keeping spirits high even as we dealt with beat-up feet and beat-up souls. Type 1.5 fun. More mountain action to come!

Bon voyage Ben! Yesterday we sent our coach on to his next step- pursuing his doctorate of physical therapy in Colorado. Ben has been an indispensable member of our team, and has created a tremendous amount of positive changes for our members, and for the organization of Hungry Hearts as a whole. He will be missed!

The HH staff sent him off with a lunch at .brother.burger.company , complete with a hernia presentation by our amazing intern Molly, and plenty of future planning and BSing.

Wishing you happy trails Ben, ever onward!!

Spring is here, which means a whole new batch of spring produce. In New England, we got favorites like arugula, asparagus, and rhubarb ready to be picked and eaten starting in April and May.

There are many benefits to buying in-season produce, including fresher, tastier, and more nutritious food, as well as potential cost savings and environmental benefits. In-season produce is typically harvested at its peak ripeness, resulting in optimal flavor and nutrient content. It’s less likely to have been subjected to long-term storage or artificial ripening techniques, which can diminish quality.

Additionally, it often requires less transportation and storage, leading to reduced costs and a smaller environmental footprint. Buying in season produce is more likely to come from local farms, and supporting local businesses is cool.

Eating in season encourages a diverse diet, as different fruits and vegetables are available at different times of the year. This variety can contribute to a wider range of nutrients in your diet as well as varied flavors and textures.

Tell us your favorite spring fruit and veg or your favorite spring dish.

Spring showers are nature’s reminder to hydrate.
Just like the earth needs rain to thrive, your body needs water to move, recover, and feel its best. As the days get longer and workouts get sweatier, don’t forget to drink up.

17% to 28% of the population is clinically dehydrated. Dehydration presents with symptoms ranging from mild thirst and fatigue to severe complications such as confusion, hypotension, and multiple organ dysfunction. Being dehydrated will limit your energy and attention for the things you want to do on a daily basis.

Hydration can be as easy as having a good habit. One tip is to get a giant reusable bottle, fill it up, and make sure you drink that everyday, along with your other regular liquids and meals.

Stay refreshed. Stay strong.
