• Some Thoughts on Nutrition (The Basics)

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 6/19/2023) In conversations that I’ve had with folks over the past few weeks, it’s been requested that we spend some time in this weekly email talking about the subject of nutrition; so, today, I’m going to do just that — with a focus on […]

  • Handling Anxiety

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 6/12/2023) I wanted to talk a little bit today about a subject that I am all too familiar with, but that I also know to be common among many of us: the feeling of anxiety. Of course, some anxiety is necessary, and the feeling […]

  • Why Do Long Workouts?

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 5/29/2023) Hope you all had a great weekend celebrating Memorial Day, and the unofficial kick-off of Summer!  Our annual “MURPH” workout was on Saturday, and we are had an absolute blast this year (check out the pics from @victakesashot for evidence) Personally, I’ve always […]

  • Why Being Strong is Helpful

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 5/22/2023) Let me tell you about a conversation I had with our 6-year-old the other day. OK, it wasn’t really a conversation, but something that I was telling him in the hopes that he will carry it with him through life, though who knows […]

  • Perfectionism

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 5/13/2023) If you’ve been following along with our Full Range Run/Walk Club, you’ve probably come to realize a simple truth: doing something, anything, every single day — with no missed days — is pretty tough.  Put even more simply: perfection is hard (if even […]

  • Community

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 5/8/2023) Let’s talk about “community.” When we first opened the gym, and I was young and stupid (yet also knew everything), I used to really pooh-pooh the idea of “community” in CrossFit.  Mostly I saw it as a weak reason for someone to join […]

  • On Change and Growth (Briefly)

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 5/1/2023) I’ll keep it brief today, and talk a bit about a quote that has become a de-facto motto for our gym: “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” We are constantly surrounded by change — whether we like it or not.  And, as we’ve […]

  • Dead Cats

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 4/17/2023) I’m not going to lie to you all — I don’t have a lot to say today.  Part of it may have to do with all of the cool things we have to share (see below!), though part of it certainly has to […]

  • Being Happy All the Time

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 4/10/2023) Hope you all had a great weekend, whether you were celebrating one of the many holidays going on, or just chilling out and (hopefully) enjoying the improving weather. For us, this is Spring Break, and, while there are no Daytona Beach plans in […]

  • “Gaining Back” Fitness

    (Originally sent as part of our weekly email @fullrangefitnesspvd; published on 3/27/2023) I recently had a conversation with someone around the subject of “gaining back” one’s fitness after a period of time away from the gym. This concept — of how long it takes to “lose” strength or capacity, compared to how long it took […]
