Last week, a client of mine was catching up with me regarding his progress since he started training with us. He asked: Should I be trying to lose fat right now? I mean, I know I’ve been getting stronger, and I feel better than I did before I started, but I’ve only lost about three […]
Our little man, Sebastian, turns nine this week. He is only weeks away from starting third grade and while some things about him have indisputably changed, some things are very much consistently the same. He still LOVES to fish. Give him a pond, a lake, or an ocean, and he wants to be there, fishing […]
Last week, I had two separate conversations with two different women: one online client and one who trains here in person at RevFit. Both women are in their 50s. And despite the geographic distance between these clients and how they receive their coaching, a common sentiment was shared between them: “I know that I need […]
My client, Judy (not her real name), was scheduled to have surgery. In the prep for the procedure, her doctor informed her that she would need to discontinue the use of her GLP-1 receptor agonist medication two weeks prior to the surgery and could resume taking it two weeks after. She was concerned about her […]
About a year or so ago, I started to take some of my reading choices into areas of society, history, and culture. And along the way, I started delving into books about our prison system and how difficult it can be for people to stay out of that system once they’ve been incarcerated. While I’ve […]
Over the last several years, I’ve published the list of books I’ve consumed by year’s end. I love to read, and I’ve been reading since I was a child. I used to read many more physical books but, lately, it’s disproportionately audiobooks for my consumption. I rarely ever highlight my favorite books because I know […]
30 Years Ago In 1996, my life was quickly falling apart. I was wrapping up my sophomore year in college, I was struggling with a lot of personal turmoil and I was identifying with some degree of depression. My doctor put me on a medication to help and it only made things worse. I was […]
I was fortunate to be raised by the greatest father I’ve ever known. He modeled humility, kindness, compassion, affection, intelligence, loyalty, and fairness to me. I was not always his best student. I did not appreciate many of those lessons in his lifetime. But as the years have passed, since my father left this world, […]
Our son, Sebastian, has grown up in a home where topics around exercise, health, food, etc. are common conversations. He’ll be present for conversations between Marissa and myself where I might be discussing things that happen at work. And within those conversations, he has historically asked questions: -What are calories? -Does candy have calories? -Does […]
Early on in my career, I thought of exercise from a very simple perspective: you can use it to help with fat loss (somewhat inefficiently) and you can use it to get stronger or faster. Obviously, it’s much more than that, but I didn’t have as much appreciation for how much more back then. I […]
