No, It’s Not As Good
I keep seeing all these trends in fitness and nutrition that are well meaning…and totally counter-productive! My concern is that it cheapens the process of what it takes to actually create success. Today, Abby and I both saw a post from a trainer saying that you could just take a really small action today. You […]
A Shell Of Your Self
Let’s do a little thought project. First, let’s think about your current lifestyle- particularly as it pertains to movement. Do you exercise with any consistency? How many years has it been since you did? If you do, are weights part of your routine? Is your job sedentary? How many steps do you get per day? […]
Podcast: Stories vs. Phenomenon
NEW PODCAST: Stories vs Phenomenon When we speak about our health, we often think we’re speaking truths! “I’m too old to lift weights.” “I can’t lose weight, my metabolism is crap!” “I have bad knees, so it’s not safe to do squats.” It turns out, we’re not telling black and white truth. We’re sharing our […]
Podcast: Could You, Would You, When?
We’re back with another Podcast. “Could you, would you, when?” Today we talk about taking leaps of faith. How building physical strength has translated to countless clients making huge changes in their lives far beyond the walls of the gym. https://the39minutepodcast.podbean.com/…/could-you…
TWO YEARS, TWO TREATMENTS

She’s a professional photographer (she’s actually taken most of the photos I use in my posts) With her job, she spends long days carrying around gear. Standing in awkward positions. Doing what she has to do […]
Kettlebell Queen: Meet Meg!
Kettlebell Queen: meet Meg It’s not often that our clients goals are literally life or death. For our member Meg, the stakes were pretty high. Earlier this year she sustained 3 strokes. It could have gone a lot worse. But I don’t think that sentiment makes her feel any better. In that moment, Meg got […]
I Couldn’t Possibly Do That
If I hear one objection to working out with kettlebells, it’s this comment. “I couldn’t POSSIBLY do that!” Look, I don’t want to dog my members. Many of them are good athletes and very fit people. But if you walked into my gym but it was actually a department store, you’d see women who look […]
Kettlebell Kings & Queens: Meet Carol
Kettlebell Queen: Meet Carol Carol joined us in the middle of the pandemic. Since then, all she’s done is kick butt in class, find her power, and send all her friends to join us too! Carol is a learner. She wants to get stronger and she’s eager to keep improving how she moves. She asks […]
Most Of Us Hide From Discomfort
This weekend I’m taking my son on our annual ice fishing trip to Vermont. We’ve been going since he was 4, and it’s one of my favorite trips of the year. Are we cold? Heck yes. Today we took a walk out on the ice. Then headed to Jay Peak and hiked in deep snow. […]
