I used to go to the gym because I felt I had to, not because I enjoyed it. I did the usual cardio, spin class, tried the weight machines, but my fitness level was stagnant. Then a few of my friends and I tried Jen Zuba’s class at the gym. The music was great, the...

Ways to progress simple bodyweight movements: ✅ Change the tempo – slow down or speed up. Slowing down helps to engage the muscles and speeding up...
As someone with 20 plus years deep in the game of “physique transformation” and health, I can speak to the crazy that ensues in the minds of fitness enthusients during the Holidays, namely Thanksgiving. Over-exercising to compensate for increased intake, negative narratives about gaining fat due to enjoying oneself, punishing behaviors such as limiting intake...

It is late November and ……. screeeeeeaaaaaachhhh, Holidays are here and your time...

Each time I have come away with tons of delicious, clean recipes and volumes of customized, challenging workouts that I can do at the gym, at home or on the road! But it is the knowledge and mental...
Overall I feel happier & less stressed. I’m enjoying being able to eat and not feel guilty, yet make strides in my health. I think this has helped balance me out. I literally went from one extreme (battling the scale to see how low I could to) to the other side so that I could...
Like our body temperature, sleep schedule, blood pressure, the make up of our body craves balance, normalcy, and stability. Our habits and lifestyle dictate where we settle. Despite the variations from day to day, week to week, and even month to month, in the amount that we eat and how much we workout, typically the...
What a gratifying and rewarding experience to have been a part of The Winnicunet Warriors State Championship year. The Beach Boys worked hard for me throughout the summer and the season, crushing their functional workouts. Training like you move is a #gamechanger!
