By: Joaquin Ramirez April is upon us and now that The Open is over I have seen frustration, motivation and excitement to learn and master new skills.  The Open has an amazing way of humbling each and every one of us whether it’s the skill itself or possibly the heavier weights. You must remember that this is a good thing! Yes you might not like it at the time but it is challenging you to learn a new skill or push towards the heavier weights, which means you are breaking barriers. This month we want you to push yourself past your comfort zone and past those barriers to advance your skill and fitness. You will see some more advanced workouts this month and this is a great chance to push the boundaries. If you see a workout that has chest to bar pull-ups in it and you are someone that...Read more

Last week we covered the Sign In feature of your Double Edge app. This week we will be looking into how you can check your membership status and how to change any personal information. Why is this part of the app so useful? It shows your active membership including the purchase date and the expiration date. These are important to know if you ever need to make a change to your membership such as putting your account on hold. It gives you access to update your personal information such as home address and email. By having the most up to date information it guarantees that you will receive our personal written letters, birthday cards, anniversaries and more! You can update your billing information just in case you get a new card or would like to put another one on your account. So how do you check your account using the...Read more

By: Dawn Swinney If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be working at Double Edge Midtown as a Welded coach, I would have had a hard time believing them. I would have had an even harder time believing that I would not only be teaching yoga, but that I would be in charge of the yoga program. This surprise would not have been because I didn’t enjoy both Welded and yoga, but it would have been because I was in a job where I had been for almost 17 years; I had benefits, a decent paycheck, a retirement, and a lot of security. Why would I want to give all that up? Well, let me tell you. I grew up swimming and running competitively; both were incredibly intense and time-consuming and I found myself burnt out on sports after high school. In college, which was...Read more
