We were was so excited to see Talbot Hill Elementary's fitness program come by for a second year to visit Reign Fitness. They have an incredible program that launches different kinds of small business ran by students within the school including Talbot Hill (TH) Fitness. The program led by an amazing teacher, Mrs. Johnson, even hires student managers (which they interview for) and really directs a program that promotes fitness but with opportunities for students to be involved. It was truly inspiring to see that we don't have to get kids excited about fitness and being active because they already are... What we need to do is continue to support them as they get older to stay active and also p

The Memorial Day Meltdown was awesome! Not only is it an opportunity for us to celebrate and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice serving our country... It also gives our community a chance to take part in the workout "Murph" which honors Lt. Michael Murphy a Navy Seal who have his life serving our country in Afghanistan in 2005. The workout "Murph" 1 Mile Run 100 Pull-ups 200 Push-ups 300 squats 1 Mile Run Not only does our Community take part in this workout, The Reign Fitness Team took on a special version of "Murph" that included a synchronized run, synchronized Pull-Ups in pairs, and all the other reps synchronized as well. On Monday, we held 4 classes... 7am, 8am, 9am, and

Tracking macros is a great way to reach your nutrition goals while still getting to eat some of the foods you love. It allows you to be flexible while working hard but keep in mind that your results may take a little longer if you're choosing to be more flexible with your food choices. And... "Even if your favorite donut fits into your daily macronutrient numbers, it may not always be your best choice." Why not? The doughnut may not be conducive to your overall goal and slow your progress down despite fitting into your macronutrient numbers for the day (Macros). Think about long term results and the skills you're trying to develop to help you stay healthy. Does the donut fit into the long te

The Reign Fitness Cinco De Mayo Lift Off was awesome! It was filled with big lifts, lots of laughing and cheering, and of course our athletes working hard. Take a second to check out the video shot by our very own Coach Jodeci who take you on a little behind the scenes on the day of. Check out our youtube page as well if you want to see individual athlete lifts.

With the Reign Fitness Sprint To Summer Challenge starting on Monday, May 14th, 2018 we wanted to share some strategies that have helped the most successful challengers. And whether your goals are to lose weight, build lean muscle, or even just get back "on" it... I know that these will help you in any fitness journey. Strategy 1 | Meal Prep Meal Prep is simply cooking and creating meals in bulk to ensure that you have high quality food/meals easily accessible when you need them. "1-2 hours spent in the kitchen meal prepping can set you up for nutrition success for days!" The process is also pretty easy. Cook proteins, vegetables, dense carbs, and everything else you need to create your meal

When it comes to mobility, we instantly think of hips and shoulders. And in this video, I want to share a quick routine that you can do with a PVC barbell before any workout to help get you warmed up and ready to train. Make sure to check out " Best Hip Circle Drills To Warmup The Hips And Get The Glutes Activated Before A Workout" for a breakdown of warming up the hips.

When it comes to mobility, the hip and shoulders tend to steal the show but it's important not to forget the smaller joints like ankles and wrists. In this post we're going to be talking about wrists and if you're like me, you know right away when the wrists start acting up. Positions get difficult to hold, simple exercise get challenging to do, and barbell workouts become impossible without extra wraps or scaling. Wrist mobility and sufficient range of motion in the wrist is important for so many things like getting into a front rack position, being able to hold a pain free overhead position, and for supporting your bodyweight in a pushup position. And failing to address wrist health can le

We had an awesome time for May's Reign Fitness First Friday and had an incredible company to partner with, Northwest Fit Meals! Not only did they come out to support the Reign Fam Community, they offered FREE Sample Healthy Meals for everyone to try and even a discount specifically for our members. Also, a big thank you to everyone who invited friends to come out, workout, and hang out with us! Not only are First Fridays an opportunity to celebrate the Reign Community, it's an opportunity to share our community with the amazing people in our lives. If you live in the Renton area or close by (Newcastle, Bellevue, Kent, Covington, Seattle) we would love for you to drop in any first friday for

The reality is... Sometimes the class dynamic warmup isn't enough. This is especially true if you're an athlete (like me) who has a tough time with tight hips, glute activation, and mobility. If that's the case, spending a little time before class priming your trouble areas and getting them ready can really make a huge difference in your workout. In this post, I want to share a few drills that you can incorporate quickly into your warmup routine that will help warmup the hips, re-enforce good movement patterns, and also aid in muscle activation. For all of these drills we will be utilizing the hip circle. Reign Fitness has them available on the warmup rack and they come in a few different si

I’ve tried so many different types of shoes, sometimes it’s hard to determine which shoe will be the best for my training that day. At Reign Fitness and Performance, we lift, run, do burpees, and so many other movements. I’ve been in training sessions where I change my shoes 2-3 times depending on what I’m working on, but I just want to train with one pair that will accommodate everything. I have three shoes that I’ve tried and have ranked them from my favorite to least favorite depending on my personal preference. Shoe #1 Reebok Nano 8 These shoes are hands down my all-time favorite shoe! They offer the stability I need when I’m doing Olympic lifting movements. I like to be able to feel the
