First look at Reality Based Fitness Facility!

Today, Patrick Ward and his wife Ivonne filmed our first video walk-through for people to see our new facility in Tempe, AZ! We also ordered some really nice rubber flooring that will come in the next 10-12 days. We will film more as we go along!

Podcast #5 is up: The Kool-Aid Drinkers..Oh yeah!

The 5th podcast of Reality Based Fitness is now up and ready for listening and downloading! In this podcast, Patrick Ward and I announce the opening of our new Tempe training facility followed by a review of the most recent NSCA (National Strength & Conditioning Association) national convention that took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Then, we get on with the topic of the podcast: Kool-Aid Drinkers!

More specifically, we get into the narrow and dogmatic viewpoints of some individuals when they drink the "kool-aid" of specific gurus and experts and fail to see the other side of the coin so to speak. The topics we discuss are:

1)Running Shoes and Over-pronation

2)Perfect Posture

3)Low-carb Diets for Everyone, and

4)Dangerous Exercises.

For those of you old enough to remeber the Kool-Aid man, here's a blast from the past:


We have some great interviews coming up in future podcasts including famous strength and conditioing coach Mike Boyle, who we hope to interview within the week!

Thanks for reading,

Video on Balance Training

Here is a video that my twin brother Franz filmed last weekend as I was driving he and his family to the airport after a trip out here to the desert. It's a discussion on Balance training and some of the misconceptions about how to train it. Our voices sound a lot alike so if don't get freaked out if you haven't heard us together!

Enjoy,

Reality-Based Fitness now a reality!

This week I was fortunate during my slow days (July is typically a slower month around here in the fitness biz) to have the time to drive around to look for a facility to rent so Patrick Ward and I can run our respective business' out of.

Well, after many, many months of searching for a place, the wait is over! That's right today (Friday, July 17, 2009), Patrick and I signed a lease for a 1000 Square foot facility located in Tempe, AZ! It is a nice sized wearhouse space with a room up front designated for soft-tissue therapy. The facility will be called Reality-Based Fitness (same name as new podcast) and will hopefully become one of the premiere places to go for cutting-edge training information and classes, world-class soft-tissue work, and effective lifestyle and nutrition strategies for enhanced living and physical performance.

I'll post some pics and videos later this weekend after we clean up the place in 118 degree heat (no electricity until Monday)! I am very excited about this opportunity and hope we will be able to help many people achieve a much higher quality of life.

Thanks and stay tuned for more details!
