Body heat

In a blink we went from two classes on Saturday to filling a third. Body heat switched off the furnace switch,and steam froze to the windows from floor to ceiling. It was New Year’s Day.

That day we started stamping names and X’s into brass tags and nailing them to the wall. If you have the money, buying something is easy. Showing up day after day is hard. You’re body keeps score, but now so do we. 12 Xs earn you a free class.

Thank you all for your energy, effort, and commitment.

Here are a few photos from the start of the year. Below zero and Holiday, but you came anyway.

Walls of fire in winter

Keep your fire bright and your body strong all the winter long, with just five minutes and a floor, a few times a day.

Long, dark, and cold, winters can take a toll on your mental and physical health.

Walk Through Walls for Winter is a 3 month program beginning January 1st, that we made so you can walk out of winter and step into spring stronger in mind and body than you were at the start.

The program uses a simple, systematic progression of short bodyweight exercise bouts we call Walls.

Walls are like swigs of fire that deliver a potent dose of movement to build strength and endurance.

We wanted to make sure the program could work for you even if you’ve never worked out, but also work if you’re athletic and looking for additional motivation through the winter.

We’ve ended up with a program that’s scaleable and approachable.

So, as long you have a body, the ground, and gravity you can do Walls in the time it takes to make a few cups of coffee each day.

When you sign up, you’ll be sent an email with a link to join Heather and the group in Everfit, our training app.

Once you click the link and join us in the app, you’ll have direct contact with Heather.

The program won’t begin until the 1st, but when it’s time to start we’ll add you to the Walls program, leaderboard, and message board.

$60 gets you in for 3 months, enrollment closes December 31st.

Compliments of Sunday.

Give us your Wounded Knees

There’s life after ACL reconstruction, even a botched reconstruction from a hack surgeon of celebrity athletes, even when your ACL blows again. We’re stoked to be helping Morgan Long, a friend and BMX lifer build the strength, stability, and confidence he needs to keep riding.

Still

One frame of video for a morning spent picking out lines,
talking about gear, watching the marine layer burn off,
getting scorched, putting it all together, one still,
satisfied.
