Staying active during COVID 19

by Jake | Apr 10, 2020 | Blog

We're clearly living through a very strange moment in modern human history. While it can be tempting to give up on exercise (what better excuse to sit on the couch and fester than a pandemic), we should all 100% be continuing to move, and I would encourage you to do...

Stop doing sit-ups!

by Jake | Dec 30, 2019 | Blog, Training Tips

Let's take a moment to talk about different reasons for wanting to include sit-ups in our training, and some cool alternatives! Reason 1: "I want to lose my belly fat" Unfortunately, it's impossible to spot reduce fat in any one specific area of the body. In fact, if...

Low(er) Carb Pumpkin Pie

by Jake | Nov 27, 2019 | Blog, Nutrition

Hey fit friends! Wanted to share a recipe that I really like to use at this time of year. For those of you that don't know, I am Type 1 Diabetic. That means that I am always looking for ways to limit the amount of sugar intake, especially around the holidays. Trust...

Our programming is better…

by Jake | Apr 25, 2019 | Blog, Gym Secrets

How do I know that our programming is better? Because we don't write it anymore. If you've coached CrossFit or been involved in it for some time, then I'm sure you can understand how negatively that statement can be perceived. I wrote our gyms group program for...

How to find the best CrossFit near me

by Jake | Apr 24, 2019 | Blog, Gym Secrets

You typed "best Crossfit gym near me" into your search bar, and if your city is anything like Austin, there are probably 5 gyms ("boxes") in a 5-mile radius of you. So how do you know which ones are good and which aren't? Since every CrossFit gym is independently...

Diets or habits?

by Jake | Apr 2, 2019 | Blog, Health, Mindset, Nutrition

Today let's chat about ONE of the many reasons why restriction diets backfire. There was a famous study done in the WWII days. At the time, starvation was a reality for many people around the world: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment (conducted at the University of...

Likkity split: Understanding pace on the rower

by Jake | Jan 10, 2019 | Blog, Training Tips

If you took off on a 5 km run, you wouldn’t sprint the first 400 meters, gas yourself and end up walking. You would probably strive to run at a reasonably consistent pace for 20- some-odd minutes. But when it comes to rowing, I constantly see people doing the...

How to save money on groceries and eat like a boss!

by Jake | Jan 3, 2019 | Blog, Nutrition

7 tips to help you save a fridge full of cold, hard cash! One of the biggest excuses we hear when people say they don’t eat healthy is because it’s expensive. Money is always touchy, but it’s hard not to argue that if there’s something you should be willing to spend...

New Year’s resolutions are bullshit

by Jake | Dec 20, 2018 | Blog, Mindset

I used to be a fan of New Year's resolutions. I would caution people to not try to take on too many, but none the less I was a fan. Now, not so much. I'm about to fall into the age old trap of assuming that just because something worked for me, it will work for you,...

Protein for weight loss?

by Jake | Dec 18, 2018 | Blog, Health, Nutrition

The protein and weight loss connection When people think about protein supplementation, they usually think about all things muscle related. Clients often approach me to ask various questions about protein supplements, be it via shakes, or otherwise. The most common...

Not getting results? Better sleep on it…

by Jake | Nov 9, 2018 | Blog, Health, Nutrition

I'm sure you're tired of us, and others in your life, preaching the importance of getting enough sleep… But that Netflix series you’re watching is way more interesting and addicting than sleeping, maybe this will do it for you: Those who go to bed and wake up at the...

The hidden benefits of working out

by Jake | Nov 6, 2018 | Blog, Health

What’s your excuse when you fall off the movement bandwagon? Too tired? Long days at work? Have children? No have time? You’ll start next week? You aren't seeing the results you want even when you do go? Let’s address the last one, which is surprisingly one of the...

Sleep it off champ!

by Jake | Oct 5, 2018 | Blog, Health

Body recomposition not happening as fast as you'd like? Your sleep could be to blame! Tired of us—and everyone else in your life—preaching the importance of getting enough sleep yet? Too bad! #sorryNotSorry. If you’re still resisting because the Netflix series you’re...

Alcohol and training

by Jake | Sep 17, 2018 | Blog, Health

Ye Olde Booze Debate Continues... Alcoholism = bad. A glass of wine a night = OK, maybe even helpful? That's usually the general thinking about alcohol: Getting hammered every the night of the week is bad, bad for your liver, for cognitive function, for your heart,...

Anatomy of a back injury

by Jake | Sep 9, 2018 | Blog, Health

I'm writing this post for several reasons. Understand that no injury happens in a vacuum. I didn't hurt my back because of CrossFit. Push yourself hard, but know your limits. Do what's right for you, not what you think you have to do because someone else is doing it...
