By: Savina Brown With the holiday season in full force it is easy to get caught up in the chaos and craze that accompanies this time of year. Whether we are overbooked with parties, overwhelmed with present buying, or overeating because of all the delicious treats and get-togethers, it is important to take a step back and remember all that this season is about. It is not the presents. It is not the food. It is not about who has the best lighting display. It is about time. Time spent with family and friends, time enjoying one another’s company, time expressing our love and gratitude for one another, and time to recognize how truly blessed and lucky we are. As we get older we lose sight of how magical and special this time of year is. We become consumed with all these adult responsibilities and forget the true meaning of...Read more

My wife and I joined Double Edge 4 months ago and we are truly hooked for life. Even though we are older than most of the members, we have quickly made personal gains in our overall fitness. After each workout we discuss how well we competed against the younger members. The Double Edge experience starts with excellent customer service that you get from each of the employees. Every employee knows your name from the first day and they treat you like you are their only customer. (We were lucky if the counter person looked up at the other clubs in town) Every workout at Double Edge is managed by highly skilled trainers that work closely with every member to insure your safety. This is only a short testimonial of all the benefits that we have experienced since becoming members. We are convinced that this is the best way to stay...Read more

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!
