On Friday, we introduced you to a lovely lady named “Fran.” And now it’s time to explain her—what she means to us and what she should mean to you. First, however, we’d like to show you a few videos. Please watch all of them. Check your volume and read the headings before opening. This is […]

Please, watch the first video, and then—provided you didn’t pass out from the shock—watch the second (to alleviate any confusion, the first video is real, the second is, obviously, a joke). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVsgXPt564Q]

Weekend – January 10-11, 2009

Gifted athletes abound. Lance J. proves that he does indeed know squat, and Jeff W., Trevor B., Tod C. and Amy D. seem very excited about their synchronized Turkish get-ups. Welcome to MetamorPHitness, version 3.0 (you may have briefly noticed version 2.0 earlier this week). We have made substantial improvements that we hope will expand, […]

Thanks to Roselena R. for snapping these pictures. In the summer of 2008, we decided to both improve the quality of our training and join the digital world by designing and creating this website. We hoped to develop a tool to further your physical and nutritional education, and at the very least, provide a place […]

And me, well, a semester of bioethics has left me as misanthropic as ever. We think it’s time to have some fun. So, check […]

Another bone to pick with modern food production: monosodium glutamate (MSG), and its many aliases, may be lurking in your food. MSG is a factory-produced flavor enhancer. It can be found in almost every bottled, bagged, frozen, or otherwise processed food at your local supermarket. Read this, and reference these studies: “The Induction of Obesity in Rodents […]

Weekend – November 29-30, 2008

This is Jenn J.—before training (left) and one year into training (right). Prior to beginning her work with us, Jenn completed her first and only (her words) marathon. And if we may digress for one moment, she often shares with us her dismay at the damage marathon training did to her nutrition, physique and body in general. […]
