Travel season is upon us! Summertime is full of late nights, parties, sunbathing, less time behind a desk and more time drinking in the freedom of summer. 

While that all sounds AWESOME, it can add up to a lot of routine disruption, which can throw you off your game and the hard work you put in during winter.

BRIK is our signature program. It is full of great calorie and metabolism boosting workouts, challenging skill work and FIT tests. We provide you with nutrition information, meal planning, cookbooks and goal setting. There is so much going on, and it is such a fun 6 weeks from the beginning… but sometimes that energy can fade over time. Don’t let your momentum slip. Use these tips to really get the most out of BRIK.

Sun’s Out - Guns Out!  

Every spring, as blossoms pop out on trees, temps rise, and spring apparel appears in stores, that little voice in the back of the mind says “Let’s get the arms ready for tank top season!”  What can I do to make my shoulders and arms look good for summer?  Deltoids, biceps, triceps.  HOLD IT, SISTER. 

PLEASE DO NOT START PUMPING WEIGHT TO MAKE THESE PRETTY MUSCLES BIGGER!  

If you were to ask me, “Carina, what can I do to get my arms looking great this summer?”  I’d answer with a question: “Friend, what do you want to DO this summer?”  Hike, kayak, swim, work, throw, climb, run?  All of that and more?   OK, let’s get your arms ready for THAT. 

Spring is just next week! Spring is a time for renewing, refreshing and brand new beginnings. And best of all it's a time for GROWTH. The Earth is warming up, turning green and flourishing. And so should you! Let's reset along with Mother Earth and rest our mindd and bodies.

We use movement training to help build a strong foundation that is necessary for all types of fitness routines. 

Movements are the basics of which we build all of our fitness routines and they are necessary. Our bodies are meant to move a lot, and our culture and the world we live in today requires us to move less. Which results in chronic ailments, disease and obesity. So we must build our core foundation to stay strong and keep our bodies flowing.
