On last episode, we discussed 2 common stress induced and often mis diagnosed issues: Leaky gut and Adrenal fatigue. We primarily discussed Adrenal Fatigue on the last episode, so this week, we sat down with Dr. Heather Peterman again to discuss "Leaky Gut" syndrome and what the signs and symptoms show.

What's Going On Around The Gym

In this week's episode, we chat about the importance of self care and becoming more grounded. Now, more than ever it is important that we all find our own ways to come back down from the constant stress that surrounds us. You need to find what works for you; meditation, music, hobbies, hikes or being in nature. These are all important ways to get proper self care and bring yourself back down from the daily stress that we are surrounded with.

Self Care & Grounding Yourself

This week we sit down with our newest Coach, Shawna Rule. We go in depth with Coach Shawna to learn how she got into fitness, how she found CrossFit and why she traveled from Wyoming to Wisconsin to join our team. We even learn some interesting and fun little facts about our newest team member. 

Meet and greet with Coach Shawna

Last Monday was Memorial Day. For the past 5 years, we've honored those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us by performing the hero workout "Murph". This workout is performed by thousands of box gyms around the world, and especially here in the USA, most boxes perform this workout on Memorial Day as a tribute and a tradition. Since we've opened, Murph on Memorial Day has been our staple. We've enjoyed getting our entire gym together to perform this workout. We've seen up to 85 people at one time working out together to perform it. The scene of many athletes running and hanging from the rig has been amazing, and always sent chills down our spine. Now, this year, with a Pandemic that rolled through, we realized that a vast majority of our athletes have not been conditioned to perform such a long grueling workout. We also believed that the social distancing requirements would just not allow us to perform it safely, and certainly wouldn't allow us to do a big group like we usually like to do! Another factor that influenced our decision is the condition known as Rhabdomyalisis: Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of damaged skeletal muscle. Muscle breakdown causes the release of myoglobin into the bloodstream. Myoglobin is the protein that stores oxygen in your muscles. If you have too much myoglobin in your blood, it can cause kidney damage and could result in death. Rhabdo is very common in newer de-conditioned athletes, or athletes who have taken a long period of time off, then go at the workout as if they never took time off. Since the gym is just getting back into the swing of things, and the fact that most of our athletes took some time off, we decided that the safest decision for everyone, is to push MURPH back into July... and, to bring people's attention to Rhabdo as we begin to get back into the gym and the swing of things.  

Rhabdo, MURPH & Starting Back Up At The Gym

Coach Corian and Coach Dave sit down and share the plans to re-open the gym come June 1st! We are excited to get back at it, clanging and banging the weights around. But, with that, we also recognize clients needs to feel safe, plus the new rules and guidelines and going to dictate how we can operate.... so, we will continue to adapt and overcome! But, you need to listen to this episode to learn about class times, procedures. Do's and Dont's and what you are expected as a client to do!

Episode 92: What's New With The HPCF Crew? May News & Updates

Coach Corian and Coach Dave sit down in this episode to discuss the new reality we are now in. Many clients are in a so called 'funk' and can't seem to find the motivation they were once in. We discuss ways you can work to break the negative habit loop. What does opening the gym look like and what's our soft open approach mean to you. Finally, many members have stepped up in a BIG way and helped donate money. We truly appreciate this, as it has given us some breathing room as we have no certainty into the future and at the orders of Government officials. We aren't giving up! With all the donations, we are looking to expand on this idea even after we reopen to help members who need the assistance. Members can help and donate to the fund if they wish, and if it isn't used, we can use it towards equipment at the end of the year or other cool prizes. Our new reality is a tough pill to swallow, but the way to push past it, is to accept it and not live in the past.
