if you don't like strength training... well.. you should ⬇️

TRY AGAIN

Strength training is the best way to have longevity in your life. As you get older, the ability to increase your muscle mass becomes increasingly harder and harder. So no matter what you do for exercise, you should incorporate some type of strength training.

Front Squats Feel Better After This Core Exercise 💥
Want your front squats to feel stronger and more stable?

Try adding a Pallof Press to your warm-up.

Why?

The Pallof Press teaches your core to resist rotation, creating stability through your trunk before you load a heavy barbell.

A more stable core means:
✅ Better force transfer
✅ Improved posture
✅ More control under the bar
✅ Less energy leaking during heavy lifts

How to perform it:

✔️ Attach a resistance band or cable at chest height.
✔️ Stand sideways to the anchor point.
✔️ Hold the handle at your chest.
✔️ Press your hands straight out while resisting the band's pull.
✔️ Keep your ribs down, core engaged, and hips square.
✔️ Slowly return and repeat.

Think of it as waking up your core before asking it to support a heavy squat.

Sometimes the best way to lift more isn't lifting more—it's preparing better.

Whenever I look at the workout of the day for our class (always thinking it is going to be a chill class), it is DEF NOT CHILL 😭

Who wrote that?! Literally, WHO WROTE THAT?

I did ;D

Yes, our coaches listen when you say you want a summer body; we sure are going to give you a program that reflects it ;)

What Is BMR? 🔥 (And Why It Matters)
Ever wonder how many calories your body burns doing... absolutely nothing?

That's your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

BMR is the amount of energy your body needs each day just to keep you alive.

We're talking about:
❤️ Your heartbeat
🫁 Breathing
🧠 Brain function
🌡️ Body temperature
🫀 Organ function

It doesn't include walking, working out, or even getting out of bed.

Why does this matter?

Because your BMR is the starting point for understanding your overall calorie needs.

When combined with your daily activity, it helps determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is what you use to guide fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance.

While you can't dramatically change your BMR overnight, building muscle through strength training can increase the amount of calories your body burns over time.

Understanding your metabolism helps you make smarter nutrition decisions—not just eat less.

Knowledge beats guessing every time.

First off, transcending the game... ACTIVATING your glutes before your leg day so you actually wake up your sleepy glutes

I know what you are going to make me DO. You are going to make me do mobility before our session?! NOOOOOOO

Coach Aaron's Favorite Recovery Tool... Is a Broom? 🧹
No expensive gadgets.
No fancy recovery equipment.

Just...a broom.

Coach Aaron's favorite mobility tool is something almost everyone already has at home.

Here's why:

The muscles underneath your armpit—especially your lats, teres major, and surrounding tissue—can become incredibly tight from lifting, climbing, desk work, or simply everyday life.

By placing the end of a broom into that deeper area of the armpit, you can apply gentle pressure to muscles that are difficult to reach with a foam roller.

This can help:
✅ Improve overhead mobility
✅ Reduce shoulder tightness
✅ Help you move more comfortably during pressing and pulling exercises
✅ Increase body awareness around the shoulder

Remember:
Recovery doesn't have to be complicated.

Sometimes the best tools are already sitting in your garage.

The Hardest Part of Working Out Isn't Working Out... It's Staying Injury-Free 👟
Everyone talks about getting stronger—but not enough people talk about staying healthy enough to keep training.

That's why we loved 's take on one of the biggest factors in long-term fitness: avoiding injury.

One of the easiest places to start? Your shoes.

👟 Narrow toe boxes can limit your foot's natural movement and make it harder to create a stable foundation.

Instead, look for shoes that:
✅ Let your toes spread naturally
✅ Match the activity you're doing
✅ Provide stability for lifting or cushioning for running

Different workouts require different footwear.

🏋️ Strength training typically benefits from a stable, flat shoe that helps you create force through the ground.

🏃 Running or higher-impact cardio usually requires more cushioning and support to absorb repeated impact.

The better your foundation, the better you move—and the longer you can keep training.

Your workout starts from the ground up.
