The CrossFit OPEN is here! Every year we get pumped to challenge and test ourselves. The OPEN is all about stepping into the unknown–we don’t even know what the workout will be until it is announced every Thursday of the 3 week competition. We train to feel better, look better and for some we train to compete. We build our capacity to get ready for competition and we want you to understand there is a real difference in the Points of Performance and the Standards of Performance. As coaches throughout the training season we are focused on the quality of movement on the floor. The methodology we use is CrossFit and the Points of Performance (POP) are the guide we utilize. CrossFit coaches go through a weekend seminar to get a Level 1 but the years on the floor coaching and the time we spend learning is where we gather...Read more

As a professional CrossFit coach and affiliate owner I have watched year after year as people struggle with 30-60-90 day challenges. While the intention is great, short term challenges often end in frustration. At the end of 2023 I said enough and for the first time in 15 years I did not run any kind of challenge to kick off the new year. I delved deep into the research on longevity and what I found were patterns of meaningful connections. This is where Live B.I.G. 365 started to take shape. It is hard to make changes when you don’t understand how your daily habits define your behavior overtime. In designing this system I wanted to empower people with information about their personal daily habits. The system had to include three areas I believe are important to overall health now and in the future: TRAIN, NOURISH and CONNECT. As I gathered my thoughts...Read more

“Microplastics, in turn, can break down into even smaller pieces called nano-plastics, which are less than 1 mm in size. Unable to be seen with the naked eye, these are small enough to enter the body’s cells and tissues.” Vickie Contie, NIH In January a new discovery was announced by the NIH, nano-plastics are in the human body and entering our cells undetected by regular screening. The particles are so small the scientists need a specialized way to detect the particles that are floating in the plastic bottles we drink from daily. This is a serious health concern. We know that plastics in our environment can take hundreds of years to decompose but what kind of damage can they cause to our bodies over time if we continuously consume water from plastic bottles such as Poland Spring? Plastic pollution is in our Boston neighborhoods seeping into our water. The NIH...Read more

Every year I look forward to watching the top athletes in the world compete in the CrossFit GAMES. The movements they do are similar to what we teach every day in our CrossFit classes.  Obviously, they vary in degree but I am always amazed at the beauty of the GAMES athletes technique and the enormous amount of weight on the barbell is inspiring. At this year’s CrossFit Games, Dave Castro, the Director of the GAMES, posted an inspiring message “Go ahead. Beat the boys. We love to see it.” The picture showed Emily Rolfe of Canada beating the men’s GAMES winner; I was reminded again I had landed in the right community. I love the message so much I made it into a t-shirt! Over the past 14 years CrossFit has been central to my life and a great experience. Sure, there are movements I can’t do like a muscle...Read more
