Fitness and Social Media Fused.
This is an open note to anybody who actually wants to elicit change through their work in the fitness industry. I have seen a trend and believe you’re focusing on the wrong thing. I do not believe the solution lies in education. Telling people they shouldn’t eat sugar for the 1000th time or that they [...]
The following post is by Nia Shanks. It frustrates me every time I walk into a gym and see most women making these mistakes so I was happy to share them with you. [Enter Nia] Overcomplicating and overanalyzing Paralysis by analysis, as I like to call it. Oftentimes women are paralyzed from taking action because [...]
It’s 11:23pm on a Friday night. At a break in the conversation I glance over my right shoulder. Expecting to see the regular drunkards playing darts I’m surprised to catch her looking at me. She’s gorgeous. Brunette and wearing tight stretchy pants that scream, “I do squats”. She smiles. I smile back. “It’s on.” I [...]
Last week I walked into a Starbucks and ordered a large coffee. The coffee attendant muttered something about a vente.

The Babe had 714 home runs in his 22 year career. He also struck out 1330 times. Compare that to Roger Hornsby who hit only 301 home runs but also struck out a meager 679 times. They both had about the same amount of at bats (Ruth at 8,399 and Hornsby at 8,173). You could argue that [...]
I get added by a lot of people on Facebook and rarely do I feel violated. Until of course stuff like the above happens. (And yes if you’re wondering I did have to Google how to draw an arrow on photoshop. It’s really quite easy. I was pleasantly surprised. I think I did an awesome [...]
Note: I sat down and wrote this immediately after arriving home from training my final client. After 8 years in the fitness industry I have switched to full-fledged internet entrepreneurship. This was not something I expected or planned for. It just happened and wasn’t fair to me or my clients to fight it. That night I [...]
Lance Armstrong has given up his fight against numerous doping allegations. Armstrong conceded – never admitting that he did it – and never admitting that he didn’t. 14 years of athletic achievements have been taken away including 7 Tour de France titles, all winnings since 1998 have been taken back, and he is not allowed [...]
