The reference was in war...but think about it in other aspects of your life. What if you're too tired to cook - so you...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many years back, Dr. Terry Wahls, who suffered/suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS), posted a Ted Talk Video entitled Minding Your Mitochondria. In my opinion, to those “in” the nutrition circles, she helped stir the pot for increased vegetable consumption and Paleo-like diets not only for health, but for “healing”, aka...

We know that as we retire many of us get pets for both the companionship and the exercise (dogs need walked). But pets can pose a risk. Coach Sam here, and...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="12645" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]What a day! While we knew we'd never top last year's 12 hours of CRAZY, we had high hopes this year. We are so grateful for everyone who stopped by to say hello, to those who wanted to train, to those who brought their kiddos so Coach...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="12642" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]HAND PROTECTION! Yes, even in an "old people's gym," we may need it. Why? First and foremost, pull-up bar work. If you are hanging, hanging & pulling or kipping, you will likely get to the point of wanting something between your hands and the bar. And most...
