It’s that time of the year again. The time of year where our fitness takes a back seat to our family obligations, travel plans, and all the other stresses that come with the holiday season. Traveling in particular can be one of the hardest factors to control when it comes to staying on track with your fitness goals. You don’t have access to most of the foods you’d typically eat, or the methods used to prepare them. With nutrition playing …

Tudor’s early life began much like normal young boys in Washington, playing soccer and wrestling through middle school.  Tudor found CrossFit at a very early age in middle school and started attending classes with his dad. Here he fell in love with the competitive nature of the sport and nine years later, became one of the most decorated teen athletes the sport of CrossFit has ever seen. Eyes on the Prize This competitive fire first started at the age of …

Misconceptions of Yoga Here’s the thing. Stereotypical misconceptions of yoga still exist – I base this on what I hear in podcasts, conversations with friends, and certainly by some strength and conditioning coaches, many of whom I respect. To a degree, I can’t blame them – a lot of what we see on Instagram is pretty pictures of freakishly bendy women and it’s like we physically cringe in pain at the thought of attempting to contort ourselves in the same …

For the last 20 years, the “Hatch Squat Cycle” has become synonymous with being one of the go-to programmed squat cycles that are known to be both brutal and successful for building leg strength.   As a 17 year athlete of the legendary Gayle Hatch, I am here to finally set the record straight. This squat cycle is NOT even close to anything I have ever done in my career and is in no way, shape, or form a reflection of …

Another day at the grind… In episode 2, I get into some sauna thoughts – Why being flexible with your schedule will serve you better than a rigid daily routine. I also dive into some good ole fashion training from the Brute Games Prep program. With a busy day on the books, I share some of my strategies to fit an entire day of training into one session while the kids are down for a nap. Is it optimal? No… …

It’s time to debunk the fact from the fiction about what REALLY are the high-intensity functional exercises you shouldn’t do during pregnancy, and WHY. 1. EXERCISES FOR TIME This is no longer a race. Don’t be tempted to ever choose intensity over the integrity of movement. You’re now working out with different principles in mind. My feeling is as most of us haven’t got a lot of experience exercising whilst pregnant, most of us can’t be absolutely certain we aren’t …

I’ve always hoped to educate, inspire and entertain. This VLOG series will be a focus for that. I want to share my life and how I balance all that is going on in it.  Being a father, husband, Co-founder of FNXfit, and coach with Brute Strength Training creates quite the adventure that I think many can relate to.  This will also be a source of information and education of workouts, how to’s, tips and tricks, nutrition suggestions and even recipe’s …

You’re a fit mama, or mama-to-be. You know your dumbbell from your kettlebell and the idea of running a 5km has never scared you, a 10km even. Perhaps you’ve tried a triathlon, or perhaps you love thrashing it out in CrossFit and enjoy this kind of intensity regularly. The fact of the matter is – when you fell pregnant, you were athletic, fit, and strong. Let me take a guess that you’re quite competitive and driven too. You’re used to …
