Hard-Working High School Seniors Get Results
Extremely proud of these three guys. Together they have lost over 80lbs in just six months since joining the gym!!! Their hard work and dedication to getting in the gym has been inspiring. These high school seniors used to come in at 6am before school just so they wouldn’t miss a workout because of their after school jobs.

Exercise Releases Brain-Healthy Protein
by Dr. Francis Collins
We all know that exercise is important for a strong and healthy body. Less appreciated is that exercise also seems to be important for a strong and healthy mind, boosting memory and learning, while possibly delaying age-related cognitive decline. How is this so? Researchers have assembled a growing body of evidence that suggests skeletal muscle cells secrete proteins and other factors into the blood during exercise that have a regenerative effect on the brain.

Barbells and Bonding
Stacy Geisler, a former basketball player seeking new ways to keep fit, was unsure about CrossFit after attending her first class at CrossFit Big D in Dallas, Texas. She was sore and—worse—afraid of the barbells.
Though she wanted to quit, she decided to stick it out for another week—and she started to see big changes that kept her coming back.
Now Geisler’s training sessions at Big D are a family affair. Her teenage daughter Annie has joined and says she can’t imagine her life without CrossFit.
Their coach, Chase Ingraham, says the two push each other. Instead of dropping Annie off at soccer practice or watching her from the sidelines, Stacy works out with her daughter—or her daughter comes in and tries to beat her mother’s scores.
“It’s something that they can share together, and not just on a personal level, but on an athletic level,” Ingraham says.
