SHOW UP. DO SOMETHING.
I can’t lie to you. Yesterday I had to will myself to get out of bed. Our family has been so busy the past few weeks, I didn’t sleep well that night. I had every excuse in the book to not get out of bed and tap out for the day. I know I am […]

POWER TRAINING FOR AN AGING POPULATION
I will be presenting on this topic at the National Strength and Conditioning – Wisconsin State Clinic this Saturday, so why not share with all of you as well!

BE AN EVERYDAY ATHLETE
I want each one of our members to strive to be an “Everyday Athlete”. Let’s rewind back to a summer in your youth, a time when things came and went without much of a thought. Waking up in the morning and having a simple breakfast, watching some cartoons, or maybe reading a book. A summer […]

It is officially springtime y’all! I can already smell that sweet scent of grilled brats and light beer at a cookout, hear the sound of baseball bats ringing, boats motoring down the shoreline… and along with all the warm weather fun, comes nutritional challenges at every turn. That’s why I would like to walk you through […]
Nasal Breathing
Over the past several weeks, Tom and I have been experimenting with a few different recovery tactics in our workout routines, but one that has stood out the most has been the addition of focused nasal breathing. During our power output focused training sessions, we have added nasal breathing during rest intervals and have seen a significant […]
What Should I Do On Vacation?
It’s hard to believe that spring break is already on deck, especially with all the warm weather we have had the past few weeks! Over the next month or so, Tom and I will be fielding a ton of questions about “what should I do while I’m on vacation?”. It can be very challenging to […]
Why Train Barefoot
We have been doing a lot of barefoot work over the past several months, especially in the group classes. I have fielded quite a few questions about the reasoning behind it, so let’s dive into why it is so important to get your feet moving right! The foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over […]
Ways to Enjoy the Rest of Winter
This certainly has not been one of the worst winters in recent memory, but it hasn’t really provided a lot of snow to participate in any of the snowy winter outdoor activities many typically enjoy, like skiing, ice fishing, sledding, ice skating. Just like every other winter though, many of us have been struck by […]
