Ah, the CrossFit Open is soon upon us, the first Spartan Race US National Series race took place this past weekend, and 2021’s personal, career, and sales goals are still within reach (remember those goals from January? Yikes!)! It is in our DNA to compete with others. That’s how we have evolved, in a very […]

Your Nutrition is 100% Important!
Why don’t we hear more about the 500,000 premature deaths each year due to poor diet and the 1,800 daily deaths due to cardiovascular disease that need never develop? I have heard about people gaining and joking about the COVID 19# and many references to drinking more during the pandemic. I get it. It’s ok to joke. […]
Exercise is Essential for your Physical and Mental Health!
My grandma lived to over 100 and this past year died due to complications of COVID. She was physically active every day for most of her life and during the last few years continued to be active tooling around a nursing home keeping the nurses “on their toes” in her wheelchair, apparently at all hours […]
Your Health Is Non-Negotiable
“I’m thinking of getting back into shape this summer”…. I overheard this the other day at a grocery store last week. It’s January. Procrastination is something we are very good at in our society. I don’t know why. But when it comes to procrastinating with your health, the time to start is today. Not tomorrow, […]
Eat Well and Fight Off Disease!
Walking into the gym today there was a pizza box and two sodas on the sidewalk, how ironic! Notwithstanding the lack of social responsibility of the people that left said pizza box and sodas at our doorstep of health, the first thing that came to my mind was it likely cost less than $10 total […]

(See our previous article about nutrition.) Due […]
Be Healthy! Build Wellness and Resiliency Together
A few conversations this week reminded me of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and exercise. And in light of the recent concern over COVID-19, your health, and the health of those around you, should be a top priority. After all, you are only getting one shot at this life, and working your butt off won’t […]
Nutrition Simplified for Athletes
In the publication of “What is Fitness?” CrossFit suggested a theoretical hierarchy for the development of an athlete. This hierarchy starts with nutrition and moves to metabolic conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting, and finally, sport. “Nutrition is the foundation of the pyramid. The quality and constituent elements of an athlete’s diet influence metabolism and therefore the molecular […]
Cricket Protein!
If you have been at Revolution Fitness lately you will have noticed we are now offering cricket protein bars from both Exo and Landish. Soon we will be offering Cricket Protein powder from Landish and cricket flour from Entomo. What?!? Did you say cricket protein bars, powder, and flour? Yes! So why the heck crickets, […]
Sharing a Couple Great Articles on Brain Aging and the Metabolic Switch
A recent article shared from crossfit.com on the hallmarks of brain aging was particularly interesting as it referenced scientific research (as crossfit.com seems to do consistently) related to how the brain ages and how the effects of metabolism may influence the rate at which our brain ages. As I get older this is particularly interesting to me […]
