CrossFit gets a lot right. It built a culture around working hard, showing up, and training with other people instead of alone with headphones in. If you are deciding between a CrossFit box and Sasquatch, you are already asking the right question, because both beat a regular gym membership you never use. The difference comes…
If you have looked at our programming and wondered why we train five different ways instead of just lifting heavy every day, this is for you. Build, Grind, Skill, Sprint, and Move each train a different quality your body needs. Put them together and you get someone who is strong, lean, hard to injure, and…
You’ve built the career. You’ve built the family. You lead at work and at home, and people count on you to have it handled. The one place that hasn’t kept up is your own health, and you already know it. This isn’t a lecture about it. It’s a look at why the fix has never…
You can train hard and eat well and still feel stuck. When that happens, the problem is often the one thing nobody tracks: sleep. It’s the quiet piece of the puzzle, and for a lot of people it’s the difference between spinning their wheels and finally seeing change. Your body builds muscle while you sleep…
When you start lifting, the first question in your head is usually the same: how long until this actually shows? It’s a fair question. You’re putting in the work, and you want to know when you’ll see it pay off. The honest answer is that results come in stages, and the first ones show up…
If you have ever downloaded a food-tracking app, weighed your chicken, and given up by Thursday, you are not alone. Counting calories works on paper, but a lot of people can’t keep it up. So here is the honest answer to a question we get all the time: no, you don’t have to count calories…
One of the most common reasons people put off getting in shape is time. They assume real results require five or six days in the gym, and since they don’t have that, they don’t start at all. So let’s answer the question directly. Is three days a week enough to build muscle and lose fat?…
GLP-1 medications can help people lose a lot of weight. The harder question is what happens after. A lot of people regain much of what they lost within a year or two of stopping, and it’s discouraging when you’ve worked that hard. The good news is that regain isn’t a given. What you do while…
A regular gym membership is cheap, and for some people it’s the right call. But most people who sign up for one stop going within a few months. Not because they’re lazy, but because a room full of equipment and no plan is a hard place to make progress. So how does a coached program…
Most people in Redmond who want to get stronger already know they should be lifting. What stops them isn’t motivation, it’s not knowing what to do once they walk in. Which exercises, how much weight, how many sets, and how to keep it all moving forward week after week. That’s the part we handle. You…
The bathroom scale is one number, and it hides almost everything that matters. It can’t tell the difference between muscle and fat, and it bounces around with water, food, and time of day. That’s why people who are making real progress sometimes think they’re stuck. An InBody scan solves that. It shows you what your…
Somewhere after 40, a lot of guys notice the same thing. The energy isn’t what it was. Workouts that used to build muscle now just make you sore. The gut shows up even though nothing changed. It’s easy to write it off as getting older, but part of what you’re feeling can come down to…
