The 7 Year Itch

Wow, we MADE IT! Wednesday, March 30th, 2016 marks our 7 year anniversary in business! If I were to summarize these last 7 years, what I am the most proud of is that I have been true to my values and passion around what long term health and fitness means to me and thus what goes on within the walls of my business every single day. Our evolution as a gym over the years has been massive, and I love that. If you’re not moving forward, evolving, then it’s time to move on.

Inspiring Story of Trust and Dedication Towards Reaching a Goal

Resting to WIN!

Resting to WIN!

The challenge is that while you might think you can learn everything you need to know from all the “experts” out there on the internet, or download an ebook “How to get a 550lbs Deadlift in 50 days”, I am here today to tell you that the only true path that works is the unique path of the individual. I will also say that adding 50lbs to a 200lbs or 300lbs Deadlift is far more linear and straight forward than putting 50lbs on a 1/4 ton + Deadlift. Regardless of what plan you use, be it Conjugate, Linear or Undulating Periodization or something else, when it comes down to it you MUST have a plan and train the individual, learning along the way what works, as well as what doesn’t, for that person’s unique needs.

Want to know THE BEST way to start OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING?

I’ll be honest in that the Sport of Weightlifting is not for everyone. What I mean is that if you don’t possess the requisite base strength, dynamic joint stability, body awareness, and most importantly mobility, you’re setting yourself up for a long difficult road likely leading to injury. In the end this is where an experienced coach comes into play to help evaluate the best and safest option for each particular person and situation.
