Most of you may already know, but for those who haven’t heard Perkville is up and running!  What is Perkville you say?  It is a online software that automatically awards perks to the members of Double Edge.  What can you do to earn perks?   It’s as simple as checking in to class, spreading the word of Double Edge on Facebook and Twitter, or bringing in a friend!  Each perk has an assigned amount of points that you are able to redeem for Nano’s, Fitaids and more! We know how awesome our members are in helping Double Edge grow and we wanted to make sure that each and every one of you were rewarded for your efforts.  As we continue to grow Perkville we encourage anyone who has questions, comments or ideas to share it with us!  If you haven’t received an invitation to Perkville please contact [email protected] or [email protected]...Read more

One of the hardest movements to master in the beginning of Welded is the dreaded double under!  There is no movement in Welded that can cause you instant pain and regret like the lash of a missed attempt!   To understand the double under it takes time, patience and constant coaching to finally get to the point that you can be automatic in the movement.  After you understand it all it takes is continued practice to become better and better. So what is the dilemma you may ask?  No its not understanding the double under (even though we are always here to help) its understanding what to do with the jump rope after you are all finished mastering the movement!  As you can see from the picture above it seems that the class who put away these jump ropes were in a drunken stooper with ropes placed in the wrong...Read more

After months of thoughts planning and preparing we are finally ready to introduce our first annual Welded competition Battle Grounds!    This idea was spurred about a year ago when coaches and members were signed up for The Fittest of Sierra Competition up at South Lake Tahoe.   This Welded competition was the staple event for Northern Nevada which brought more than 120 athletes up to the lake to compete for the title of fittest of the sierra’s! It was after that competition that we decided we would create our very own annual competition that will start at Double Edge and eventually outgrow our gym into something even larger! The Battle Grounds Welded Competition will be a two day event starting on June 19th at night and will end June 20th sometime in the evening.  This will be a RX competition meaning that all athletes who will be signing up...Read more
