Eddie Paxson Collins

Eddie was a member of our gym family for over 8 years. He always had a joke that would bring a smile to your face no matter what kind of day you were having. For his 60th birthday Eddie made a WOD of a few of his favorite movements and trained in the weeks leading up to his birthday to be able to complete the workout successfully! We honor Eddie and complete this WOD in remembrance of his friendship, sense of humor and pound cakes!

This ones for you Eddie!

NEW GYM FLOOR!!!

Our new gym floor is looking great! We are super excited to be able to continue to grow the gym and make it better and better every year! As we expand our workout areas to the wall perimeter please help assist us in keeping children off the mats during our class times. Your safety and your childs safety are of the greatest importance to us.

Now that we are having comprehensive bloodwork pulled for clients, a commonality we see is everyone is deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial for immune health, mood, brain function, and inflammation control — not just bone health Low levels are linked to: • Higher risk of illness (seen greatly during COVID) • Mood disorders • Cognitive decline • Chronic inflammation Many of us aren’t getting enough from sun alone. Dr. Rhonda Patrick (someone actively researching this area) suggests aiming for 40–60 ng/mL blood levels, which may require 2,000–5,000 IU/day of supplementation. Personally I’ve added Vit D to my supplement regimen since 2019 and have had a noticeable difference in inflammation and immune function. Also, get outside!
