Healthy is the New Skinny, Too?

Published on October 1, 2010 By Adam

I want to thank my friend Linda Gill for giving me some inspiration to write this morning. She had a thread going on Facebook talking about how important it is to buy and eat local organic food. This is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time and it really got me thinking (Those [...]

Labor Day WOD, Anyone?

Published on September 6, 2010 By Adam

Sometimes you see stuff that is just too cool and inspiring to keep to yourself. I just “overheard” something between my friend Merle Mckenzie and one of his athletes from CrossFit Relentless, Brenda. Merle posted two pics on Facebook with this message: “Brenda I love you for what you have done to inspire women and [...]

One more reason CrossFit and Kettlebells will rule the world…

Published on July 30, 2009 By Adam

I had a really interesting experience today. I vaguely know someone who’s in the mainstream fitness and bodybuilding industry and I contacted this person about possibly talking to a friend of mine who is considering fitness modeling as a career choice. Now, my friend is still in High School and is looking into careers for [...]

CrossFit and Benchmarking Fitness

Published on June 6, 2009 By Adam

Today turned out to be a landmark day for me in my pursuit of world class fitness. I took my best friend, Kate, to CrossFit USA in Berlin, CT for her first CrossFit workout. I was planning to do the WOD (which was a bit intimidating) but Merle had another idea. In his infinite wisdom [...]

Beaten with my own Kettlebells at CrossFit USA

Published on May 22, 2009 By Adam

Merle must have been feeling particularly sadistic today. Or, maybe he was just trying to offset the three-day weekend with an extra hard workout. Either way, Merle was administering some beatings! I got in and walked over to the whiteboard to read the WOD. Before I could, I heard a voice from behind me say: [...]

Getting done by Merle and Jackie

Published on May 17, 2009 By Adam

I had another outstanding workout at CrossFit USA in Berlin, CT. I can’t say too many good things about Merle McKenzie or his box (that’s CrossFit slang for a gym – get your mind out of the gutter!) It was an absolutely beautiful day outside. I walked in and checked out the WOD. Run 1 [...]

CrossFit will Change EVERYTHING

Published on May 2, 2009 By Adam

I’ve been friends with Merle McKenzie from Crossfit USA in Berlin, CT since December of 2009. I have a lot of respect for Merle and the conversations we’ve had have opened my eyes about Crossfit and the limitations of other types of training. It had been on my mind to get in with Merle and [...]
