If you're a woman and you are avoiding strength training you are putting your future health and vitality at risk.
You won't get big. You will feel better, look awesome and protect yourself from bone loss, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
So ditch the 5lb dumbbells and lift heavy!

Did you know the first diet book was written in 1863? William Banting was an overweight undertaker who was frustrated by unsuccessful attempts to lose weight in accordance to the medical advice of the time.
When he finally found a diet solution that worked for him he shared it in a pamphlet called Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public. His book consisted of his personal story along with a "can eat" and "can't eat" list. Sound familiar? Here we are over 160 years later and the format is still the same.
We're taking a bit of a deep dive on the whole diet book thing and why you should save your money.

🥃Greg is switching things up and knocking back the whiskey. It's that kind of episode!
We're chatting about pain associated with progress and pain associated with injury. There is a difference!
Workout discomfort like burning muscles and being out of breath feels is uncomfortable, but this is progress pain. Acute discomfort is a sign of potential injury. Listen to your body and your coach!

No downing a six pack of doughnuts after your epic deadlift day! You cannot out-train a crappy diet. The research is in!
Ultra-processed foods are more than just hotdogs and potato chips. Breakfast cereals, protein bars and meat alternatives are ultra-processed foods that are marketed as healthy. According to a recent McMaster study, even these foods are problematic.
We're digging into this latest study! Take a listen.

Did you know almost all of our coaches started CrossFit after the age of 40? In fact most of our members are well north of 40. Most of them are not coming to our gym with an athletic background. They're here to stay healthy and active through all the stages of life.
Being a beginner means that every workout is a new adventure. With small, coach-led classes you get personalized exercise recommendations to accommodate injuries and mobility issues. That's what keeps you moving toward your fitness goals.
We've got the wine, the beer and the Greg-isms! Take a listen!

A two-litre carton of milk weighs just under five pounds. A bag of dog food can weigh close to 50 pounds. Your squirming toddler is likely upwards of 30 pounds. Working out with two-pound pink dumbbells is not going to help you in these common life situations.
CrossFit, and by extension, lifting heavy, is all about functional fitness. Our goal is to be strong enough to take on everyday tasks with ease. We get into why functional fitness is the key to being strong throughout your entire life.

🌲Greg is drinking a beer that tastes like a pine forest and Sabrina makes a guest appearance. It's another fun night at the Isle of Sound studio!
When it comes to fitness you've got to focus on the long game. Your first fitness goal is to be consistent with your workouts for weeks and then months. Don't worry about what the workout is; focus on showing up.
If you are looking for big gains (or losses) in the short term you are going to be disappointed. Focusing on small wins, like hitting the gym three times per week, or lifting a little more than last time, keeps you motivated.
Focusing on 1% better every day - consistently - yields lasting results.

Remember those curtsy lunges from a couple of weeks ago? They got 🌶 real fast! Kinda made the Bear Complex easy by comparison.
We program accessory work as a complement to the WOD. Our goal is to improve overall fitness, work on weaknesses and add variety to the workout.
Take a listen as we talk about which types of accessory exercises we like to program and why we use them.
Got a favourite accessory exercise? Let us know!

The CrossFit Open always starts with a workout that almost everyone can Rx. And then the ax comes down. By the second workout even the best in our gym find they have to scale.
We all have weaknesses and the Open shines a big spotlight on them. In this episode we're talking about how to become more proficient at your weaker skills.

The 2025 Open was a lot of fun! Maybe not so much for planning umpteen weight changes, but overall, 44 awesome members had an amazing experience.
Fiona is super stoked to be an old gal! She's officially in the Masters Open category of 55+. That doesn't make for an easier workout as she discovered.
The best part of the Open is watching our members push themselves to new levels. There were so many firsts from pull-ups to rx'd workouts. The energy of 44 people in the gym is amazing.
We're enjoying a recovery drink and sharing our favourite moments.

Fiona has been jonesing for mac and cheese. Must be the weather!
Seasonal weight gain is a thing. We tend to crave heartier foods in the colder weather. We are also inclined to avoid going outside when the weather turns.
In the latest episode of Keeping It Real we're talking about how you can avoid winter weight gain.

Greg is savouring a craft beer from Bench Brewery in Beamsville. This might be the only thing Greg consumes slowly! Fiona and I always take our time with our red wine.
How you eat is just as important as what you eat. Eating slowly, eating without distractions and paying attention to hunger cues will go a long way to improving your relationship with food. You might even lose some weight without changing your diet.

😂Please forgive our French pronunciation! Fiona and Nyree have moved on to a French red wine after sipping some Scotch. Maybe not the best combination!
We're following up the cold and flu season episode with the best ways to recover from hard workouts. There are a lot of recovery trends from endless foam rolling and cold plunges to massage guns. The evidence to support the benefit of these forms of recovery is anecdotal at best.
We're talking about a wide range of recovery tools and sharing the best form of recovery that is 100% free.

January can be a crap month! You've got "Quitter's Day" on the 10th, which is recognized as the day people give up on their New Year's Resolutions. That's followed by "Blue Monday" on the third Monday.
Good times!

There are some folks in the gym world who feel that semaglutide drugs like Ozempic are going to be the undoing of all gyms.
We disagree! We think there's an opportunity to help people who have improved their health with these drugs to take their wellness to the next level.
Semaglutide drugs are a gamechanger for people with diabetes and obesity. Wellness isn't just about blood markers and blood pressure. It's also about confidence, strength and feeling good in your own skin. That's where gyms come in.Are you in the Dunnville, Ontario area? Curious about what Grand River CrossFit is all about?

Fitness influencers are nothing new. Back in the day it was the fitness models and bodybuilders gracing the covers of Muscle & Fitness, Shape and Flex magazine.
The ubiquitous nature of social media allows these influencers have a greater reach than old school magazines ever did. Almost all of them promote a fitness reality that is anything but real.

🎆🎇It's that time of year!
While we're not ones for making New Year's resolutions, it is a time of year when people start thinking about making diet and fitness changes.
On the final episode of 2024 we're talking about how making small changes rather than big "resolutions" is more sustainable and successful.Are you in the Dunnville, Ontario area? Curious about what Grand River CrossFit is all about? Check out our social links and website:

😂😂CrossFit hang-up! Oh, we've got more than a few!
Do you put your plates on backwards? Or do you need your collars to be the same? How about squatting inside the cage?
We're talking about our hang-ups, quirky idiosyncrasies and funny habits on the latest episode.
Greg is in fine form! Wait for about the last three minutes. This Greg-ism might be his best yet!
