Yesterday I got to the gym early to try and hang some merchandise back on the racks, after taking it with me to my seminar the following day. So, I had some time alone in the gym and I looked around at all I had accomplished.
Without trying to cloud my mind with all the things I still have to do, I tried to just admire the things I had done already and where I had come from. Then, suddenly in walked three new people that were eager to train for the first time. However, this didn’t really make me change all the things I was thinking about because this is actually one of the things I am most thankful for. Every time someone new comes into the gym I have yet another opportunity to help them accomplish their goals, whatever those goals may be, and I am truly thankful to be in that position.
After showing our new members around, and giving them a quick lesson, I returned back upstairs to find that many more people had already arrived and had started their open mat session in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Since they were already practicing, I sat down and really got a chance to appreciate their skill level and how far they had come in the time they had been there. It’s amazing to see their thought process, skill level, and control while practicing. We truly have an amazing gym and amazing members that are only going to get better as time goes on.
After watching them all compete, laugh, and have fun while practicing, I started to realize how things went much deeper then what building we were in or what new moves people might have been doing. Everyone out there was truly a friend of mine as well as a friend to everyone else in the gym that day. We had all actually been out to dinner, a movie, a party, or another event at one time or another. In fact, most of our wives and/or children are also friends and without the gym none of this would probably have happened.
I just wanted to write a quick post and say how great I think “Healthy Life Market” is. It’s located in all Drug Emporium stores and has just about anything you would ever need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I’ve had a couple of friends who mentioned this store to me in the past but they never really went into detail about how great it actually is. I finally went about a week ago and have been back at least five times since then. They have a huge selection of protein and supplements, which is great if you need something quick after a workout or just a healthier snack (and that’s my main reason for being back so frequently recently), but they really have a little bit of everything.
There are tons of organic foods, gluten free, grass fed meats, unprocessed, and just all around great stuff to choose from. I have been big on the large selection or raw, organic, and unsalted selection of mixed nuts they have there, because it’s nice to finally find so many varieties available.
I highly recommend this store to everyone. You can really change your cooking habits for the better (healthy cooking oils and baking materials) and also possibly change some of your unhealthy snacking habits around. I really think you guys will be impressed with the place!

Guys,
I will be working on getting all of our new apparel on the site and at the gym, but there is a lot… This means not all of it will be displayed at the gym and it may take me some time to get it all listed.
There are plans to get some adidtional pictures tonight but time is really tough to come by these days. In any event, here is some of the new gear (men’s and women’s) and it can be purchased asap off the site.
This link won’t be found on the site, until I do some updates, so save it if you navigate to the other merchandise sections.
Please let me know what you think,
