Gainzzzzz are exciting. Not every day in the gym is exciting, or even a good day. And this coming from someone who loves the gym. The boring days are important too. Boring like this photo.

How to Find the Best Yoga Studio (in OC)
“I moved here over a year ago and have been searching for a studio ever since. I did all those week and month trials, and I finally found one I am willing to pay for!” I said this the other day to the manager of the yoga studio I adore. It was maybe accidentally offensive.…
Home is … CrossFit
Yeah, I wrote that. Despite taking almost two years off from an official gym, within minutes of (grudgingly!) re-joining the sport, Aspen CrossFit quickly and seamlessly became my home and the people my family. Moving to Newport Beach, one of the first items on my agenda was to find the right box to call home…
3 Training Goals Before 2013
It’s beginning to look a lot like CrossFit … I’ve been out of a regular CrossFit “box” for quite some time, doing outdoor, .com, Football, and Outlaw WODs.

Gym Gem: Workout Skirt
I have been lifting weights for at least ten years. I’ve been CrossFitting for five. I’m no stranger to being the only girl in a gym doing olympic lifts, heavy weight, or handstand pushups. I have never once been asked to spot anyone. I have also never once worn a workout skirt in the gym.…
“I deadlift all the time. But lighter.”
I can’t make this kind of thing up. You can also imagine how livid I was when this gym gem occurred recently at the Aspen Club, but I will try to maintain the humorous approach … I’m working on deficit deadlifts at 245#. Even if you don’t know what that means, just know that is me…
Who is Looking at Whom at the Gym
