Nutrition group?

Quick question—

With the weather turning and summer coming up, a lot of people are starting to think about getting back on track.

Over the last 20+ years in the fitness industry, I’ve tried just about every approach to nutrition—meal plans, coaching, challenges, all of it.

But the best results I’ve ever seen—by far—came from something really simple:

A weekly nutrition accountability group.

We’d meet once a week, do a quick check-in, talk through one simple topic, and then go around the room:

1 – What went well last week?
2 – What do you need to improve?

That’s it.

And people got better results in that setting than anything else I’ve done.

I’m thinking about bringing something like this back.

But before I do, I wanted to gauge interest.

If that’s something you’d be into, just reply and let me know.

If there’s enough interest, I’ll put something together and send details.

3 Tips for a Better KB Snatch

KB snatches are among the best moves for building strength, endurance, and an elite engine.

…and not to mention, burning a massive amount of calories in a short amount of time!

Why?

1 – They build HUGE posterior chain power

2 – They develop grip and upper back endurance under fatigue

3 – They elevate your heart rate FAST – and demand a high power output

We have been working on them regularly as we prepare to host the Tactical Strength Challenge at our studio in early May of 2026.

(Want to get in on the fun? Reply to this message, and I’ll give you the ‘deets on our 14-day Jump Start so that you can try our program for yourself!)

HOWEVER – the form can be tricky. You can end up with banged up wrists if you’re not careful.

Here is a video that walks you through three tips to improve your kettlebell snatch form:

• Common poses you’ll see in most yoga classes
• How to move and breathe without feeling rushed or confused
• Building strength, mobility, and confidence on the mat
• Options and clear cues so you can actually enjoy the practice

If you’ve ever felt like yoga classes move too fast — or you just want a solid, no-nonsense flow — this class is a great fit.

You can choose one option per week — Friday night Foundations Yoga or Saturday morning Community Sweat. (OR, pay the drop in if you’d like to attend both!)

We’re excited to roll this out and see how it fits into the schedule.

See you Friday,
