Life Isn’t Easy

On average, I make the 600 mile drive from where we live in Ohio down to my hometown in Tennessee once a year. On a good day, where you hit no traffic on the way down, it might take 9-9.5 hrs. On a bad day, you can add another 1-2 hours depending on stops and […]

Why Can’t I Be You?

When I started RevFit, back in 2009, I needed to do a photo shoot for some marketing materials. I didn’t know anywhere near as much about nutrition and fat loss as I do now but, like a lot of coaches, I felt like I needed to show off more of my body than I normally […]

F*ck Calories, I Just Wanna Lose Fat!

Calorie counting works pretty damn well for a certain population of people. Some people can track long term, some can get by with short term tracking and for everyone else, you can succeed without tracking a thing. This week’s article will give you thoughts and insights if you want the scale to drop but you […]

Thoroughly Unsexy Health Advice

Something I find interesting, the longer I coach, is that some people tend to get very anxious about the health decisions they make. I believe social media, and the vast amount of contradictory advice probably feeds into the anxiety. So, this week’s post is a way to take some pieces of information, give you some […]

It’s In The Blood

Several years ago, I got a lovely reminder in the mail that due to my current age at the time, I needed to schedule my first colonoscopy. If you’ve never had one before, I can think of hundreds of things that would take priority on a scale of pleasure. That being said, colon cancer didn’t […]

The Person In Your Corner

Several weeks ago, I had a young man and woman stop by the studio to pitch their services to RevFit. While they were in my office, they noticed the pictures I have up of my family. The young lady was enquiring about my marriage and asked how long Marissa and I had been together. “We’ve […]

The Male Voice And Menopause

I recently read a remark by a woman online where she stated (I’m paraphrasing): Oh look, a man who thinks he knows more about a woman’s body than she does! And I’ll follow that up with a comment from one of my clients last week (also paraphrased): You know, it would be nice if women […]

Bits And Pieces Of Fat Loss Conversations

I have conversations about fat loss every day and sometimes I have to remind myself that even if it isn’t new or novel information to me, it may be helpful for you. Here’s a list of topics which have come up over the last couple of weeks that might help you along the way. -If […]

Take Your Loss And Learn

I probably won’t write this as eloquently as others have before me but I think that lessons in strength training provide a crucial perspective on lessons in life. Succinctly: nothing you want will come without struggle. The first time I remember bailing on a lift in the gym, I was the stereotypical skinny guy in […]

The Strength To Go Without

In 2006, after ten years of being neck deep in that world, I gave up on drugs. There was no dramatic intervention, I wasn’t incarcerated, and I didn’t have a close call overdose that scared me straight. I just had finally opened my eyes to the damage I had done to myself and my family […]
