Hey Friends! We’re halfway though April – closing in a being a third through the year.  Do you have friends or family that gave up on their new years resolutions a month or two ago?  Did they buy in to a “get fit quick” program designed to burn them out and push them into unsustainable…

Hey Friends! Wow that was a difficult/fun WOD.  Thanks to Colin and Mel A for being my teammates and helping me to push that little extra that only a team WOD can do.  Also – that set of 12 back squats was a squat marathon!  I can’t even imagine doing sets of 20 (don’t worry,…

Hey Friends! 12 reps last for a little while, eh?  But now think about how ridiculously easy 5 reps will be!  Sneaky sneaky, right?  Not really, but it’ll help in the long run and it challenges your positioning while you’re doing those squats.  So get in there, rest between reps (with the bar still on…

Hey Friends! I hope DT was awesome and you guys crushed it – It’s always a fan favourite, and it definitely helps to “game” it a bit and break up the reps in a pre-planned fashion. Eric is organizing a team for the May Whole Life Challenge.  Accountability is always more fun with a friend,…

Hey Friends! Awesome weekend!  Thanks to Sara and James for covering the gym – It was a very low key weekend with Kristin and Gavin for me, which was a change from the norm (especially compared to when the Open was on!) and welcome, considering the (welcome) changes to my days! SO you likely noticed…

Hey Friends! Boom-Pow – another week done.  That was fast.  I hope you’re loving the Squats, we’ve got plenty more coming soon.  I’ll actually share the progression with you guys so you know when to make it in if you want to make the most out of the squat side of this cycle: [av_table purpose=’pricing’ pricing_table_design=’avia_pricing_default’…

Hey Friends! Thursday came up FAST!  It’s snowy for a couple days, but I think it’s supposed to get pretty nice out sometime next week/weekend, so it can’t be THAT bad, right?  Just make sure you guys are driving safe, especially if you already took your winter tires off!

Hey Friends! Beauty work today on the WOD – it was nice to see everyone (not everyone, but lots of people) and be the lame Dad with pictures of his son that you didn’t ask to see (Thanks for humouring me, if you weren’t completely interested) 😉 It’s going to be a good week, despite…

Hey Friends! Thank you for all the words of congratulations and other, generally positive awesomeness.  We’re home now and Kristin and Gavin are healing up well!  (I’m about the same though, haha)  What the people said about having a child is true though, there are a whole lot of feels you didn’t know you could…
