By: Sabrina Blajos   Along with the nice weather that is coming more often, comes all those outdoor activities, BBQ’s, happy hours, and etc. Summer is meant for fun and time with friends and family. But with fun comes inconsistency.   Its really easy to get caught up with yours summer activities.  With those days of fun in the sun You’ll start getting in the habit of saying “I’ll go tomorrow”, or “I’ll wake up early and go.” You worked so hard during the winter to make all those #gains, you don’t want to lose them.

By: Derek Wellock I would like to take this opportunity to discuss personal gym equipment.

These items are as follows: Socks, underwear, clothing, sports bras, shoes, ect. These are clothing items which are personal to each individual.

If you are stiff in that movement, what are you doing to fix it?

Do yourself a favor and don’t get complacent with your abilities. If...Read more
