By: Derek Wellock Every year, particularly in January after the long holiday season there is a huge increase in the general population’s motivation to get healthy, drop some weight and get back to or start a new routine.  The average person will increase their body fat alone by 1 to 2lbs just during the holiday months from November through December. Doing this year over year for 5 years and you are 10 pounds of fat heavier.  It is so easy to let the mindless snacking, skip some workouts and boom before you know it the holidays are over, and you left feeling worse. BOOM. Motivation kicks in. Time for a change, time to start working out, start a diet, a cleans, and take control.   After 13 years of coaching in the health and fitness industry I have seen so many people start the new year with steam and after a...Read more

This week’s #DECFMonday was chosen by Coach Derek. We are truly grateful for members like Kendra! “Kendra has been training with Jacob and myself before Double Edge was even a thought. Always doing the early morning classes and always being one of the best people to be around. When I see Kendra, I am truly humbled that she believes in what we are doing after nearly eight years of training together. She has been through many evolutions of Double Edge and still believes and trusts us to help her with her health and fitness goals.

By: Derek Wellock Goals vs. Vision Goals are great and they come in hot and heavy during this time of year.  Goals set, motivation is steaming and you are ready to go. Two weeks later you get on the scale and you see you dropped 1lb. or worse no change at all.  Your goal was to lose the 5 extra pounds you gained the last month and a half. What do you do? Most people give up. Gyms are packed the first few months of the year with all kinds of fresh goals and motivation.   But by mid-February, most people have faded away.    I truly believe in having goals, they are focus points for you to work towards.  Lots of times goals are made too big, and we have time frames for big goals that are not realistic and then all of a sudden we have slipped away from...Read more

This week’s Featured Athlete was chosen by Coach Blaise. Mark has been a great part of the DE Community, thanks for all you do!⠀⠀ “Mark is always sure top arrive to class early with a smile and an eagerness too get tp work.

This week’s Featured Athlete was chosen by Coach Kris. Jp has been a great part of the community and always works hard! Keep up the awesome work!⠀ “There’s so many things you could talk about when it comes to JP. He’s got such an outgoing, lovable and funny personality. Always bringing good vibes and laughter to class, I would even go so far as saying that he’s the class clown. ⠀ ⠀ But don’t mistake his easy going attitude for lack of care when it comes to his WODs. In the 10 months he’s been with us he has made so much improvement in his health and fitness. He’s built great relationships with many of the members and continues to make gains. So many gains that he even had to create another persona, “50 Cal”. If you don’t know, ask about it.⠀ ⠀ Thanks for always keeping the mood light in...Read more
