I’m not impressed by the individual who is willing to exercise to the point of vomiting or a loss of bladder control—this is not that unusual. What I’m impressed by is the individual who shows up every day at the gym, does what is necessary, doesn’t complain, doesn’t look for recognition, does what’s necessary outside […]

Mission in Strength
It is my opinion that, as an athlete, you need four ingredients to achieve a high level of success: supportive gym/community, superb coaching, an iron will to succeed, and food. The last couple months has been packed with travels to compete, and compete we have. If you have kept up with any of our social […]
The calm after the storm
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. -John Lubbock Your competition is complete and regardless of how you did, it is behind […]
Year one
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. -Mark Twain We made it! To say the first year has been amazing, well that would be an understatement. Through the ups and downs, through the training highs and lows, […]
Your body is a temple… so treat it like one
There is an Indian proverb or axiom that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but, unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, […]

Refining your purpose
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success. –Pablo Picasso Do you have a goal? Do you have that off in the distance glimmer that you are clawing your way toward? […]
So now what….
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength. –Michael Jordan So you are in a gray area. You have had your first round of competitions; be it power lifting, weight lifting, or the Crossfit Open, and you […]
Mindset, Atmosphere, and Perspective
Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still –Henry David Thoreau In the past couple of weeks, the gym atmosphere has been lit on fire. Despite work volume increasing ten fold (literally going from singles to 10RM), everyone comes in to still try and […]
Be the change you wish to see
Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever –Mahatma Gandhi Post have not been flying off the shelves as usual, but that is not to say that Pure Health is not booming! We have had an amazing start to 2016 from increasing our reach to athletes in […]
