Sunday is approaching and this is the last chance to sign up, we are calling anyone who wants to become empowered. We don’t want anyone in the position of needing to be rescued; give yourself the hands-on experience and the acquired toolset that brings a sense of security for more peace of mind. ​ We look forward to seeing everyone Sunday guide them to become capable of protecting themselves. Become the hero of your own life and stop feeling vulnerable by owning your personal

If you’re feeling disappointed because you haven’t reached your healthy living goals for the year, then please…DON’T! First, you’re not a failure and your efforts are NOTHING to be disappointed about. You’re awesome. Period. Second, if you haven’t checked off every item on your 2022 list yet, that’s okay because we’re not done with the year yet! We have more than 47 days left and you can make SO MUCH PROGRESS in that much time. Right? RIGHT! We're calling for a mid-fourth-qua

This two-month span of celebration is the most joyful, yet stressful time of the year, with multitudes of people feeling isolated or depressed. Stress is actually a warning sign for things that bring danger and discomfort. It triggers those emotional and physical responses, in the hope that we adapt or cope with those things that challenge us. Stress is an alarm that reminds us we are responsible for solving these problems. When we feel that adrenaline rush, we get momentaril

We are excited to invite you to our free safety workshop that is for everyone, regardless of gender. Learn to feel more secure when out on your own, especially if you feel vulnerable, want to be more active, or are isolated during outdoor running, walking, etc. This workshop is designed to unleash the inner hero we know you are capable of being, so you are better equipped to protect yourself and your loved ones. You will receive practical hands-on training, become equipped wi

We’ve all heard about “passing the buck,” an expression that means a reluctance to accept responsibility. It’s often used to describe dysfunctional organizations, but it’s helpful when talking about our individual health, too. We know people who take this as their daily approach to life. Nothing is ever their responsibility because they’re always trying to dodge blame. “It’s not my fault I can’t lose the weight – it’s my genetics.” “Don’t blame me because I don’t like salads.

If you are like me, working out without a challenge gets boring, like building a new car and never taking it out for a spin to see what it's truly capable of. Do you think so, too? If you said yes! Then it's time to add a fun event to your life :) No matter where you are located, my brand new Burpee Biathlon has gone virtual...this 30-person event is designed to challenge newbies and competitors alike. Whether you are local to LA or not, you can now earn our special handcraft

Of all the loving, nonjudgmental and supportive methods we can use to practice self-care, maybe the most misunderstood is meditation. It seems like every time we mention it in conversation, someone says dismissively, “Oh, I could never do that! Stop my mind completely and just not have any thoughts at all? I don’t know HOW to do it!” And that’s exactly how we felt about meditation, too. But we decided to try it in multiple variations, and soon discovered what it really is and

You probably like to think that you have integrity. You’re proud that you follow through and do what you tell others you’ll do … that you honor commitments to friends, family, coworkers and others, right? But what about keeping promises to yourself ? It’s so much easier to let those slide, isn’t it? We’ve all done it countless times. We’ve said we’d start exercising … and then we get busy or don’t feel like it. We’ve promised to stop being overly critical of ourselves … unti

In this fast-paced, high-pressured world, life is ALWAYS happening around us. So many things are beyond our control – the people, the institutions, the natural events of the world… But here’s what we can control – our own words and actions. We can listen to our heart, acknowledge our desires and disappointments, and then surrender to this wondrous, empowering constant of the universe – what you do is all up to you :) Success isn’t just what happens TO or AROUND you. It’s what

So many times in life, we have to make a choice. This or that? Here or there? Deal or No Deal? But sometimes we DON’T have to choose. Sometimes we get to say “AND” rather than “OR.” Sometimes we can have it all. And it’s important to remember this from time to time if we’re going to fulfill our amazing potential. If you tell yourself you must choose between your partner and taking time for yourself, then you lose either way. Forget about that. Embrace this as your truth: “I c

Coach Heather Binns's here... My goal for the month of July was to help free the world of cancer by raising funds and completing 50 Kettlebell swings a day in the challenge hosted by the American Cancer Society! On the last day of the month, after my last 50 swings, I couldn’t help but finish the song with dancing…a great way to end the challenge (: The Kettlebell swing is one of my favorite exercises, and even though I am still recovering from my ankle injury, it’s an exerci

Whenever we’ve tried to make a positive change in our life, we’ve been surprised at how often people told us, “Change is hard.” It was like they were warning me that we shouldn’t try too hard and get disappointed. We even found ourselves saying it a time or two. “Just stay where you are… it’s probably okay…” But you know what? It doesn’t have to be like that. Actually, change can be fun! All it takes is finding ways to keep yourself motivated and making some strategic deci

There’s a fun new fitness event in LA! Think you can run a mile, 3 miles, or 5 miles? Can you do the same if you have to burpee along the way? Find out at our first annual Burpee Biathlon in Los Angeles, California! What makes the Burpee Biathlon an amazing event is that it gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself in a new and different way! Have fun treating your body to exciting exercise Work both your cardiorespiratory and muscular systems Strengthen your bones Acco

With the latest strain of COVID spiking again, enhancing the immune system is still top of mind for people right now.​ ​​Your overall body weight, the foods you eat regularly, your quality of sleep, stress management, and how much you exercise ALWAYS impacts your immune system and your body’s ability to take care of you in the face of viruses, infection, etc.​ So, to put it mildly, taking care of your overall health every single day must be a top priority…now and every day.​

A belief is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. And when we commonly hear people talking about beliefs, they are thoughts repeated, right? We’ve all heard that before or read it on a coffee mug or Pinterest board. And it’s true. If you think you’re a smart, hard-working, good person – and then repeat that thought over and over – then you’re going to face the world with a positive attitude about yourself. Unfortunately, it also works the other way

We see so many people get frustrated with their healthy living plans. They try to eat right and exercise for a little while. But then they give up when they don’t quickly, magically become what they want to be – thinner, stronger, etc. So, let us tell you: Transformation is not an event. It is a PROCESS. And that process is comprised of countless decisions and choices you make over time. They build on each other, bringing small changes that then manifest into the bigger res

Coach Heather Binns’s here… Four days ago, I committed to doing the 50 Kettlebell Swings a Day Challenge with Team Renov8 to support the American Cancer Society! Ironic as it is, only a couple of hours later, my doctor called with my long overdue MRI results. He wants me to stop all movement, stop walking, stop physical therapy, and start wearing my boot again. As it turns out, my MRI shows: Small bone fragment floating around in the front of my ankle Small fracture in the lo

Coach Heather Binns’s here… Look – I get summer can be hectic. Kids are out of school. Family events fill up your calendar. And you’ve still gotta get to work and manage all your other priorities. It’s hard to find time for yourself, isn’t it? But you’ve gotta do it – for yourself and for everyone around you. Remember that you can’t help anybody else if you’re wiped out from exhaustion or stress. And besides, you deserve to enjoy the summer as much as anyone! Schedule time fo
