In 1917, as World War 1 was coming to an end, the American government was struck with a dilemma. There was a shortage of food in the country and famine was becoming a major concern. The government moved into action and created the American Dietetic Association. The main purpose of this entity was to create…
One of my favorite quotes is “necessity is the mother of invention.” I have no idea who came up with it, but if you think about it, it certainly rings true. When a need becomes present, human beings will find a way to get something done. Fasting has been a part of world culture for eons,…
I’ve said on here before and out loud a million times over, I’m never going to try to force someone to do CrossFit or tell them they have to be doing it. I will invite people to come try a workout, but if they turn me down a couple times, I’ll just let it go….
Just forewarning you now, this is going to get pretty sciency. I will do my best to limit the super dense language of it though. Our last blog covered a case study between a set of twins in which one brother died prematurely of diabetes/obesity, while the other went on to be a super ripped…
As we kick off the New Year, a common sentiment we get from people is that it’s just in their genes to be big or fat. They’ve always been that way and there’s nothing they can do about it. Well, today we dispel that myth. We are going to present you a TRUE story written…

Sometimes, I don’t think we are thinking about the impressions that we make as we live out our lives. We don’t think about impressionable eyes that are on us. There are so many things going on in our mind and running through our brain, as Jobie mentioned in a previous blog, that it makes sense…
I remember when I first saw the CrossFit Games back in 2011. I remember watching like mostly everyone else at that time and just thinking that those guys were something out of the movie 300. I mean I was certain they were descendants of Leonidas himself. I remember watching the rope climb and clean and…
I will gladly admit that I know next to nothing really about the brain and I honestly do not feel bad about this. I believe I should know some things being that I am a health sciences professional but mind you that people who study the brain for a living, know next to nothing about…
We often get prospective members wondering if CrossFit is a program “for them.” They feel like the stuff they’ve seen on TV or online is meant to deter them from ever stepping foot into a CrossFit gym and nothing could be further from the truth. I understand the people that make it to the CrossFit Games…
