Last week I discussed the vast diversity in fitness needs and goals of our members at the Bodysmith, and I talked about some of the different systems we use to help them become their best. The important thing to remember is that our systems have diverse solutions built into their design, so there’s no “fast...Read More

Expect the unexpected has become a daily mantra for us at the Bodysmith. There’s the challenge of running a business, of course, but our members keep us on our toes, too. (Always in a good way). See, we all know that everyone is unique and no two people are the same. But, when you look...Read More

A few weeks ago, I was discussing healthy eating, and someone said it was impossible unless you are rich. The individual mentioned a conspiracy between pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and our industrialized food supply. I won’t disagree by saying he isn’t speaking some truth.

I’ve long held the belief that advertisers and food producers routinely mislead the public. Take a look around next time you are out shopping. You’ll see aisles marked gluten-free and paleo, or an entire “health market” nestled inside your grocery store. Just consider that in 2015 Americans spent an estimated $11.6 billion on gluten-free foods...Read More

The other day I was at the coffee shop drive-thru window picking up my regular, delicious, iced Americano and the young lady asked how I was doing. “I’m great,” I replied and asked her the same question.
