by Coach Tommy Today, we are going to specifically talk about sleep.  You hear it all the time. “I will sleep when I’m dead!” “I work when everyone else sleeps!” There is this ego drive culture in America where less sleep is better.  This is pure, 100% Grade-A bullshit.  Sleep is probably the most effective tool for long-term health than any supplement or workout routine in the entire universe.  Best part….it’s 100% FREE! Yet, most Americans aren’t getting enough sleep.  We are full of caffeine, glued to our phones, and late-night snacking ourselves into constant sleep deprivation.  This wreaks absolute havoc on our bodies when it becomes chronic.  For men, our testosterone drops by more than 50% after even a few days of severe sleep deprivation. Heck, it’s the reason why it’s such an effective torcher technique. It works! Our bodies will also start to hold onto fat stores as a...Read more

by Coach Tommy “Exercising & proper nutrition is impossible to sustain with my busy schedule!” If you were to ask me the #1 reason why we end up having new members slip through the cracks, the answer is often, “my schedule!” Look, we are ALL busy. 24 hours a day doesn’t seem to be enough these days. But let’s be honest. We prioritize the time for the things we value the most in our lives. In other words, how we spend our time reflects what we value the most. This week I have been 100% understanding of the common misconceptions that people have about District H. Today is going to be a little more tough love. I get it! Life is hard.  We are balancing our jobs with family and our own health and wellness with our social lives.  That balance is essential! You need to make an income to live. You...Read more

By Scarlet Rodriguez Hi, my name is Julie Martinez, I am a Texas Native,  born and raised in Houston. I own a small produce business located in the Houston Farmer’s Market. I enjoy hanging out with friends, family , visiting new places, trying new foods, and going to baseball games When did you start doing CrossFit? How has CrossFit made an impact on your life outside of the gym? I started CrossFit in 2017 after 9 years of boxing. I decided to join CrossFit after realizing that boxing was getting a bit too dangerous at my age. I wanted to try something new, not knowing that I would end up loving CrossFit more than boxing. Over the years CrossFit has become my therapy session and a form of self love.  What is your favorite lift? What are your CrossFit goals? My favorite workouts are back squats and deadlifts. My goal in CrossFit...Read more

by Coach Tommy Walking into a new gym can be very intimidating.  Walking into a CrossFit gym can be even more intimidating.  When I first meet members, they are typically at an incredibly vulnerable spot in their life. They know that they must change themselves and where they are currently at in life. Having the courage to make that decision is the hardest part. My goal as a gym owner is to make everything after making that decision as comfortable as possible. That is why we start with Free Intros.  I want to learn about you in an accessible environment where you can tell me everything between your goals to your fears.  We also try our absolute hardest to build a culture in our facility that is open and welcoming.  In other words, if you show up, then you are already done the most challenging part. Once new prospects come into...Read more
