Greetings!   

 

That Was Then...  This is Now: A reflection on our One Year Anniversary
 
Over the past year we have seen incredible changes in our dedicated community. We are so proud, inspired and exhilarated to be in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. To take a building--once known as the dive bar--and turn it into a tertiary space where wellness trumps all. Words cannot describe our gratitude for your wholehearted support and valuable business. We dedicate this month to you: our community. Keep an eye out for client appreciation days, and the special treats we have in store. We are always here to listen to any feedback you may have. Our mission is to provide the best client experience on the Hill, and we truly believe that, "We're not in the fitness business. But, in the people business providing fitness." 
 
Schedule Now: Don't miss out on your favorite classes--take a moment to visit our schedule and book your classes for this week.
 
Looking for motivation? Check out our latest video that motivates us. This video gets us pumped up before our workouts. We are Powerful Beyond Measure, we just have to tap into that inner strength.

Started at LAB5: My first class was early June

2011

 

Favorite workout move: Spider. I know it's weird, but I like that it's awkward. Challenging yourself with movements that don't come naturally is empowering as you find success somewhere new.

 

Hobbies: Woodworking, cycling, clarinet, moss (Yeah, I really like moss. My favorite walks to work are just after a storm. I find little mossy treasures and carefully carry them to my desk. My co-workers are now conditioned to stop by and see what I've found.)

 

Pets?: Not my own, but I'm a sucker for a big fluffy dog.

 

Fit Fact

Fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than toenails.

Cross Training & Why it works

 

Cross training is typically defined as an exercise regimen that uses several modes of training to develop an overall fitness or success in a specific sport. The term is widely used and is often misapplied. Here is how cross training can help you with your fitness goals:

 

Reduced risk of injury. By spreading the cumulative level of orthopedic stress over additional muscles and joints, individuals are able to exercise more frequently and for longer duration without excessively overloading particularly vulnerable areas of the body (e.g. knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows and feet). Engaging in workouts from different fitness methods allows the body to use its muscles and joints from varying angles, strengthening and increasing muscular endurance and joint capacity more than would result from the same workout over and over. 

 

Enhanced results and total fitness. All of us are exercising to cause real and permanent changes in the body, whether rehabilitating injuries, strengthening and building muscle, or body fat reduction. All of these results happen the most effectively when...

Many foods we come in contact with on a regular basis are presented as "healthy alternatives" to typical snacks or candy. But, as you will learn below it's not necessarily true.... Some of the items that made the list will surely shock you.
