One of the major differences I see between chronically fit people and those who aren’t is that fit people have developed something I call “lean habits.” A fit person has typically developed enough discipline over time to make the choices that best serve them and their goals regularly, which is what allows them to stay …

You want to get fit. You join your local big box gym. You show up on Day 1, fully committed, in your new fitness gear, and open the doors. Suddenly it feels like all eyes are on you. You walk to the treadmill and warm yourself up for 10 minutes or so. Then it’s time …
If you’ve at the fitness game for a while, you may have jumped on and off the wagon a time or two.

After recently moving to Colorado, I joined the Intensity Park Meadows family in December 2017. I believe the athlete’s success is my success. My greatest satisfaction as a coach is to see that moment of clarity in an athlete’s eyes.

I frequently reflect on my fitness hierarchy of “Stability > Mobility > Technique > Intensity > Volume”.
I was never involved with organized sports during my youth; skateboarding was my sport of choice. Much later in life, I was inspired to be more active after a conversation with a friend who had recently finished the Boston Marathon. Deciding to enter short distance triathlons, and without a swimming background, the jump to athletics was fairly arduous. On a whim, I was given an article from a local newspaper regarding Crossfit Endurance. After one Endurance class consisting of rowing, push presses, and lunges, I was hooked. It wasn’t until a year later that I jumped into formal Crossfit classes. My first WOD – Murph.
