Happy Birthday, Steve!! 🥳 What a pleasure it was to help him ring in his 47th birthday yesterday morning! Carrie & him celebrated w/ 47 reps on bench press as well as a 47 second plank to end 🤣

So grateful for these two as they’ve been extremely loyal & consistent for well over a year now, as well as their kids Steven & Isaac. All these awesome families are the reason I get to keep doing what I love 🙌🏼🫶🏼

I’m always inspired by couples who train together. Did you know couples who work out together exhibit significantly higher fitness consistency, with some studies suggesting they are over 600% more likely to maintain their routines. Approximately 70% of couples who exercise together continue doing so at least once a week, compared to only 25% of individuals who exercise alone.

Reach out to us today if you and your spouse are looking to workout together! It’s a great way to grow in your relationship to prioritize your health as a team 👏🏼🔥❤️

Shoutout to this girl who once considered herself “a dancer”! I’ve been working with Bree for almost a year & a half - she’s looking more and more like AN ATHLETE each week. She’s stronger, faster, mentally tougher, more explosive, & has faced her fears on many things as well. She has even stepped out of her comfort zone to try volleyball & is pretty darn good at it from the sounds of it!

What I’m most proud of her for is watching her mature in her character. She is kind, respectful & works hard - not that she wasn’t or didn’t when she started, but I’ve seen tremendous growth! To me, THAT is what’s most important and it brings me great joy to watch these kids grow into better versions of themselves 👏🏼

So proud of you, Bree! Keep up the great work 💪🏼

Your ankles are the foundation of every movement you make as an athlete—yet they’re often overlooked.

Strong, mobile ankles improve your ability to generate force, absorb impact, and move efficiently in every direction. Whether you’re sprinting, cutting, jumping, or lifting, limited ankle mobility can quietly hold you back and even increase your risk of injury (think knees and hips taking on stress they shouldn’t have to).

These exercises target both mobility and control—because it’s not just about range of motion, it’s about owning that range. Better dorsiflexion, stability, and strength translate directly to better mechanics and more powerful movement.

Don’t skip the basics. Build your foundation, and your performance will follow.

So proud of you, Jessi 👏🏼

In just ONE month of training, she’s down 4 lbs, dropped 2% body fat, and increased her muscle by 1%. And while some people might look at that and think “that’s slow progress”… this is what doing it the RIGHT way looks like.

This is sustainable. This is healthy. This is REAL progress.

What I’m even more proud of? Her confidence. It’s growing every single session. Those “getting back into it” cobwebs? Almost gone. I can see the shift happening—and it’s powerful.

Consistency is the secret. Not extremes. Not shortcuts.

I’ve seen it too many times—people chasing quick weight loss without strength training, only to gain it all back… or worse, lose muscle along the way. And that matters more than most people realize.

Losing muscle doesn’t just affect how you look—it impacts your metabolism, your strength, your energy, your mobility, and your long-term health. Muscle is what keeps you resilient as you age. It’s not just about weight—it’s about quality of life.

Jessi is building that foundation. Brick by brick.

And that’s why she’s winning.

So here’s your reminder: the hardest part is just starting. Step out of your comfort zone—it’s the very thing standing between you and your growth.

Let’s go 💪🏼

“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic… or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse.” ~ C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Happy Easter, everyone! Hallelujah! Jesus is Alive! ✝️

Animation I made with our kids at the Science Center today.

He knew the pain.
He knew the betrayal.
He knew the nails would tear through His flesh and the cross would crush His body.

And still… He chose it.

Jesus Christ walked straight into unimaginable suffering—beaten, mocked, pierced—not because He had to, but because He loved us that deeply. Every drop of blood, every breath of agony, was a decision: you were worth it.

This Good Friday, don’t look away from the brutality of the cross. Sit in it. Feel the weight of it. Because that’s how fierce His love truly is.

He endured the worst so we could receive the undeserved.
That’s not just sacrifice. That’s relentless, unshakable love.
