What’s Your Motivation?
How do you get yourself to the box on a daily basis? How do you consistently push through gut-wrenching WODs? How do you ignore the brain and push through the pain? For Melissa, it’s the fear of being bit in the butt by a T-Rex! How do you keep yourself motivated to stay consistent with [...]
Baby It’s Cold Outside
I pulled this photo from the Sacramento Bee website, it was taken yesterday morning in Cameron Park (not Lake Tahoe!). We are facing an unusual cold snap right now and it’s important to remember a few things when training in this type of weather (the ARCFit box was a toasty 55 degrees this morning because [...]

Camera Shy
So GyGy is pumping some Lady Gaga yesterday morning and the song “Paparazzi” comes on. Naturally I have to grab the camera and start snapping some shots but Nicole ‘big-times’ me and tries to avoid my powerful lens!
