Man, writing these blogs makes me happy. I feel like they allow me to dig and try to pull for some truth amongst the chaos and consumerism of the holiday season. AS off late, I feel as though I’m in a desperate need for some truth- some real “I feel ya!” encouragement. It’s so easy this time of year to drowned out by stresses- shopping/spending, traffic, friends/family/work events (as awesome as they are, they somehow become a source of stress!), etc. I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year I need mindfulness and quiet more than ever. Maybe it is the introvert in me, but while I ..read more

Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving week! Welcome to blog #2 of our Holiday Wellness Blog Series! Last blog post, we discussed the power we all hold to choose what we eat, how much, and when. We talked about prioritizing what you love to eat over what you’re indifferent about. Finally, and most importantly, we talked about loving yourself enough to enjoy the holiday without guilt, regarldess of what happens. I wanted to start with that topic to help lay the foundation for this conversation! This is Part II of that talk- some focus on the HOW behind eating thoughtfully. Read below for some help ..read more

By Coach Trea Greetings Grey Coast Athletes, Anyone that has taken my classes knows that I LOVE the Crossfit Open. In fact, I think my favorite part of Crossfit is the open. If you are new to Crossfit, here is a quick summary of the Open. Starting Feb. 21st, and for the following four weeks, Crossfit will announce one workout per week. The WOD will be announced on Thursday night and you will have until Wednesday to complete it. We will always program the Open WOD the day after the announcement, but if you don’t plan on coming into the gym on Friday, you can do it during open gym on another day ..read more

If you’re anything like me, I love the idea of a new year, a fresh start, and a chance to do things better. Unfortunately, this time of year simultaneously calls for a seemingly overwhelming sense of angst about ensuring I start the new year with a list of 6,000 things I need to do better at or better with in my life. Paired with these anxieties are often related unrealistic and thus, unattainable goals that admittedly would require more of a total rewiring of my brain than a vision board for me to accomplish. In the end, this leads to falling short of those goals as much a tragic part of the ..read more

One of the key principles of CrossFit is that it is a strength and conditioning program that involves “constantly varied functional movements preformed at high intensity”. Whether you have been doing CrossFit for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years, you know this means that in a given workout there will be some type of weightlifting movement, gymnastics skill work or straight up cardio with running or rowing. Everyone knows why they should run more. As far as gymnastics goes, the added flexibility and ability to control ones body weight is a topic for another time. I’m here to talk about the benefits ..read more

If you guys can’t already guess, the theme for July is all about consistency. Summer starts getting into full swing and life happens. Vacations, happy hours, the sun is finally out and it’s not raining, you name it; there are a billion other things to do beside getting in to the gym. Suddenly you start choosing other activities over your hour of fitness (which is fine) but those goals you set at the beginning of the year start slipping a bit further and further away. Or another trap people fall into is the more you miss the more your cardio slips and the longer it takes to recover. We’ve all ..read more
