By: Sabrina Blajos Open season has a tendency to bring out the competitive nature in us. This is great since we’re already two workouts in.  So many of us have hit PRs that we didn’t think were possible without being put into a competitive atmosphere. With this though we also tend to focus on where we think we should be, rather than being satisfied and accomplished with how far we’ve come. This feeling of personal growth is the true nature of Welded, and that’s what makes it so great. We’ve found something that we are constantly striving to be better in, better than yesterday is a lot of our models. Just make sure that in the midst of striving to be better, we don’t stop enjoying ourselves or rushing the journey. A lot of times we do this by comparing ourselves to where others are and thinking that’s where we...Read more

By: Leo Fontana   As many of us have seen going around, Reno was selected among one of the fittest cities in America. I think that is so awesome! Our community here at Double Edge is part of this huge accomplishment and we want to thank all of you guys for that. However, the gym is not the only place to “fitnesscise”. Our Backyard is a beautiful place full of many things to do!   Here is the top three outdoor activities for you to enjoy and get your work out in this summer.   Hiking: It is a great way to strengthen your core, gluts, hamstrings, quads and the muscles around the hip and lower leg. It is an awesome way to keep your heart rate higher than normal but lower than a traditional Welded work out. Besides Lake Tahoe has many beautiful trails to try with many levels...Read more

By: Alvie Hafen “There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” Oh life. We are all in this game together and sometimes it seems the difficulty level is set on hard. We worry about the future and we worry about bills. While we worry we just sit around and we wait for happiness. I will be happy when I’m on vacation. I will be happy when I purchase that new car. I will be happy when… blah blah blah blah. Why wait?

Prepare for that test, prepare for the new job, but don’t waste time and emotional energy worrying about something you cannot change. You don’t have control over what life throws at you, but you...Read more
