Not everyone tested in the last two weeks, but those that did broke personal records in at least one or in some cases, all three lifts! Bench Press – Dead Lift – Back Squat Everyone was pleasantly surprised at their progress and we still have one more training block until the year is over! We […]

It’ll be interesting to see how much stronger they have gotten over these 12 weeks from being part of the group strength classes. Our youngest client Liam has also […]

In fact, often the very foods we assume are “healthy” are actually the ones that keep us in a cycle of poor athletic performance, stalled fat loss, chronic digestive problems, and other issues that keep us from reaching our full potential. It’s difficult to […]
