As we continue with the paleo challenge i have seen more and more recipes  and photos of great food and tasty treats streaming across Instagram and Facebook.   I have for one found it extremely helpful to see that paleo doesn’t have to be raw vegetables and grass fed beef everyday!   It has been inspiring to see all the different recipes that our members have found and have created along their journey of this challenge. To keep the momentum going we will be getting together a cookbook that we will be encouraging all of our members to share their past paleo recipes!  We will leave the cookbook out at the front desk so that everyone can add too!  We are also working on getting Paleo Nick to come down from Truckee for a 2 hour seminar on paleo cooking, preparing and of course eating! If you are interested on...Read more

Quick Reminder!  All Lurong workouts need to be done and inputted by Monday the 20th by 8:59pm for our gym to receive points!   We are still fighting for the top position and we need to continue logging those diets, goals, recipes and workouts.  If you haven’t tried to move up a level on the workout we encourage you to give it a try, you are much stronger than you think!  Also, if you have missed a workout, please don’t give up!  For our gym to be qualified for the grand prize we must have at least half of all workouts to be finished.

As most of you might know the Double Edge team was away this weekend in San Jose for a business retreat to build towards a better year in 2015.  During the weekend we worked over 8 hours analyzing our successes and failures as a team and a business in 2014 and also how we can provide a better service and facility to you in 2015. At the end of the day we found out that our passion for what we do is deep and we promise to always provide the best service possible to the members and community of Double Edge.   To help provide you this level of service we ask for you to be open in sharing ideas, thought and even frustrations that you have with the coaches and staff.   We have placed comment boxes in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms so that anyone can...Read more

Before you started Welded chalk was the little white sticks that were used in grade school.  But alas, you now know the beautiful white powder that us Weldedters use freely to make sure that our hands have the best grip possible for that pull up or PR!  Now it seems that you cant take touch a bar without a handful of this white gold!  How did we ever live without it?! As great as chalk can be it does have a devilish side that can overtake us without even knowing!  Think back to the first time you dipped your hand into the soft powder of Primo chalk.  You probably only took a little finger full and gently rubbed it throughout your palm being careful not spill any extra out of the bucket.   Fast forward 2 or 3 PR’s and 20 WOD’s later and now its as if you cannot...Read more
