By: Alvie Hafen “Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spend working in the office or mowing you lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” -Jack Kerouac We are not just made to eat, work, sleep, and die. The world is an amazing huge place, with opportunities and experiences that will change and shape your life. Don’t be afraid to take a chance, to fail, or to do somethings crazy. There is no rewind button on life. There is no pause. Time is ever moving forward, 1 second at a time our life ticks by. So stop saying I’ll start tomorrow, stop saying I’ll start at the new year. You are wasting seconds, you are wasting life. And the scary thing is life is so fragile we don’t know when it could end. Don’t let the words you never said or the things you never did haunt you on...Read more

By: Sharae Townsend I  wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our members for being great. We wouldn’t be the Double Edge family we are today without each and every one of you. Working the front desk allows me to talk with and get to know each of our members well and it’s so awesome to see that Welded is the commonality that brings everyone together and puts a smile on their faces when they walk through the door. Our gym has so much character which makes my job as a coach so much fun. We get told all the time how nice, clean, big and new the gym is but our members deserve some credit too! Our members are some of the nicest, funniest, most generous and strongest people out there. We love seeing our members work so hard that they want to share it on Facebook...Read more

How Water Can Improve Your Health By: Sharae Townsend 5 Benefits of Drinking More Water Water helps unclog pores and clear the skin. Water aids digestion and keeps things going with the flow; water also helps the kidneys do their job to flush out the toxins in our bodies. Water can prevent cramps and strains which may occur when the body is dehydrated. When we sweat our muscles lose water so we need to drink more water to give those muscles fuel. Water can also help us cut calories; drinking water makes you feel full so it can curb some of those junk food cravings. Try drinking a glass of water about 30 minutes before a meal and see how it can help lighten your appetite. Having a nice glass of water makes you feel refreshed and awake so if you aren’t already addicted to caffeine you can give water...Read more

Trust us. We understand busy schedules. In fact, many of the members we have here at Double Edge Fitness initially joined because they needed a more efficient workout that didn’t require them to be in the gym for hours at a time. That’s why we’ve put together this list of ways you can make your time at the box as productive and fulfilling as possible.

Once you’ve created this habit,...Read more
