Breck Epic – Review
Stay on track this holiday season
The holiday season is right around the corner. We haven’t even made it to Thanksgiving and Christmas music is already playing on the radio! Stores are filled with holiday treats and with Halloween, still visible in the rear-view mirror the onslaught of candy and treats has already begun! This is a particularly hard time of […]

Community: It’s more than group workouts
Joining a new gym can be intimidating, especially if you’re jumping into a group fitness class. Nobody wants to be the “new person” and feel like the entire group is watching them, questioning them, wondering what they’re doing here.

Believe in Yourself
We all understand the benefits of exercise, I don’t need to lecture you on the physiology of the body and why it’s important. What I am focusing on is why you should take a leap, believe in yourself, and make a change! Sure, you can do some workouts at home or join your nearest box […]
Bipedal Movement
What is bipedal movement and why is it so important? We as a society no longer move our bodies as we are meant to. A huge number of people spend the majority of our day in an office chair at a desk pecking away at a keyboard, then moving to our cars after work where […]
