  • On Episode 42 we are joined by Olga Karmansky. Olympian, world champion, gymnast, contortionist, and a beloved Prime member.

    Olga was born in the Soviet Union in 1989 and moved to Brooklyn with her family at 3 years old. She quickly found a love for rhythmic gymnastics at a young age and at 14 started to pursue higher ranks. Making it to the US National Team, a world championship, becoming an olympic alternate in 2004 for the US. And ultimately retiring by age 19, in 2006.

    For those that don’t know Rhythmic Gymnastics is an olympic sport that originated in Eastern Europe.

    After her retirement Olga pursued other artistic avenues and did feature in Pippin on Broadway (2009), and eventually getting into contortion and teaching flexibility.

    And after yearning of dedicating herself to contortion and gymnastics she added CrossFit to the list. She found herself leaning out and adding strength to her repertoire of flexibility. And that’s what got her here, with us!

    Enjoy and leave a review!

  • Have you checked out Prime Connect yet? Whether you’re in the area and stuck at home with the kids, or living halfway across the country with no idea where to start in the gym, we have you covered. Prime Connect brings you Prime’s programming directly to your phone. Equipped with written descriptions, video demonstrations, and coach feedback!

    Today both coaches from Prime Connect are throwing down on The Prime Podcast with another episode of Overrated OR Underrated. All on tracking data and static stretching. Enjoy!

    Important Points:

    Tracking Data

    Tor - Overrated

    Ty - Underrated

    Ant - Overrated

    In Tyler’s opinion it helps them to work towards goals in moderation and limits how much change occurs (programming hopping).

    Anthony believes its a detriment to most. Logically most of us stop once we see that progress is not coming “fast enough.”

    A coach is able to create a bigger conversation to understand how lifestyle and fitness connect. We want you to track to see consistency. Start with monitoring the weight you used during your workouts, and how you felt on a scale of 0-10?

    Static Stretching

    Tor - Underrated

    Ty - Overrated

    Ant - Underrated

    Anthony believes it to be sometimes over glorified when people think that they can go under barbells or move into a harsh squat from a wall ball, without static stretching. You have to understand it’s not a right now game.

    Tyler says it’s poorly prescribed, as people don’t perform it to its fullest potential. They stop the stretch before their nervous system has the opportunity to relax.

  • On Episode 37 - Tyler Kallasy is back! For those that don’t know, Tyler is an OG trainer of Prime and way back to our earlier days as CrossFit Utica. He have been a traveling PT for three years now and currently putting his skills to the test in a contract in Washington. He is still a part of our team as he helps out remotely, with our remote clients, writing their programming behind the scenes.

    This episode we take a different turn and Anthony, Tyler, and Tori sit down to rate some topics in the fitness world as either over or underrated. Enjoy!

    Important Points:

    2:00 - High Intensity Exercise

    Tor - Overrated

    Ty - Overrated

    Ant - Mostly Overrated

    There are so many other types of intensity that are beneficial. Low intensity is a time to focus in on your skills, knowledge, and form of the exercise and THEN you can put it into action at high intensity.

    11:00 - Cardio

    Tor - Overrated

    Ty - Underrated

    Ant - Overrated

    A lot of people want to look “athletic.” But people don’t exactly know how to do that but they relate that to a high intensity level of cardio in order to slim down, but it is not the answer.

    20:00 - Tempo

    Tor - Underrated

    Ty - Underrated

    Ant - Underrated

    Having a time based structure forces you to take control of your body, and slow you down with time to learn. Time under tension.

    34:00 - Foam Rolling (and Massage Guns)

    Tor - Overrated

    Ty - Overrated

    Ant - Overrated

    People put too much trust into quick fixes as a “cure all.” If it hasn’t worked YET, what makes you think you need to keep doing it?

    45:00 - Barefoot Training

    Tor - Underrated

    Ty - Overrated

    Ant - Underrated

    If we limit how we feel the world, we limit our ability to do things! Tyler comes on the offense, that if we have spent so many years with shoes, we almost reversed our nature to live without them.

  • On Episode 32 we got the privilege to sit down and speak with Alex Brooker, a trainer based in Switzerland. His areas of training expertise are, but not limited to, NHL Athletes, Olympic Level Athletes, and Performance Psychology & Hypnotherapy. He is also widely known for his seat as a co-host on the Mike and Brooker Show podcast, specializing in all things mind, body and spirit. This was both, Anthony and Tori’s first time getting to chat and live through some of the life changing experiences Alex has embarked on, and continues to do so. We hope you sit back and revel in it as much as we did.

    Start: 12:18

    1:00 - Brooker’s early introduction to fitness and health started with an interest in rugby. He quickly felt the pain of not being “blessed genetically” and knew that his improvements would have to stem by putting the work in through strength training.

    6:00 - Mike Guadango, a trainer of a plethora of professional athletes, gave him the opportunity of interning at the very popular fitness hub, DeFranco’s. He credits that early opportunity as something that gave him a starting focus with his career.

    8:00 - Eventually he found himself getting into the massage world and that brought him onto national teams, specifically Switzerland.

    17:00 - A heavy topic for many piloting their own modern businesses, Brooker saw that there was no innovation within the Swiss team, and took that as an opportunity for change and to help reach improvement.

    33:00 - While he won’t speak for everyone, partaking in a lot of traveling, by himself and with others played a pivotal role in experienced based learning for him.

    35:00 - Your environment can catastrophically change your life. Being as young as 24, coaching ice hockey, Brooker developed that all or nothing mentality early on.

    40:00 - Listen to your intuition. There is nothing more disheartening than repressing yourself. That anxiety that we are all so familiar with is based off of physiology.

    48:00 - The people around you, better support you.
