New Years Resolution – ‘not giving a fuck what anyone thinks about me’
Trichotillomania - 'a compulsive desire to pull out one's hair.' I’ve had this since I was a child. I remember the exact moment when/how it started. I’m 29 years old. I’ve spent 22 years of my life with this disorder, yes it is a disorder, and I’m pretty...
Why I do what I do.
“Wow, I love your legs, how did you get them like that?!” “Your legs are disgusting and they look like buffalo legs” Yes, my body type is an acquired taste, but isn’t literally everything in the world? Some people see the hard work and dedication and appreciate it...
“My Bryleigh’s Burner Experience” – Guest post #2 by: Mather Wiswall
For all the skeptics out there, yes, I am Bryleigh’s boyfriend. You might assume that would bias my opinion. If that’s the case, I’ll lead with this… I didn’t always believe in this Burner style workout. About a year ago, she would tell me about these “pumpy”...
GRID vs. CrossFit
I was a gymnast for 14+ years... so I’ve always been a competitive person and had that competitive edge my entire life. After being done with gymnastics, I found CrossFit. Being a high level gymnast automatically translates positively for CrossFit, so I had a huge...

Creating positive outcomes in crazy times.
Only a couple of weeks ago we were hangin' out on the beach, goin to grab a few beers with friends, working out like it was nothing. That was so different than it is today. It’s fucking insane to even fathom, but we have to. We are all in the middle of this pandemic,...
No, I’m not giving up
It takes a special type of person to be motivated 100% of the time, a very special person. However, it takes some kind of person to give up on something they 100% believe in. I started this blog with one intention. And that intention was to help people. No matter how...
“Camera’s are my enemy”
I went into this photoshoot with the lowest of expectations. 1. Because I am scared shitless of being in front of cameras. I get shy, embarrased and awkward as fuck. 2. I’ve never been a fan of looking at myself. 3. I’ve only ever really done 2 photoshoots before and...
