We are now carrying Fuel For Fire! These food packets are awesome. It is real food - nothing artificial. Each one contains 10g of protein which will help with muscle repair and recovery. It has all natural carbohydrates (fruit & veggies) to help energize you! There is no added sugar. It is quick and easy to digest so would be great before, during, and/or after your workout. They are gluten free, soy free, nut free, and kosher. We will be selling them at the gym for $3.50 per pack. Be sure to try one (or two!) today.

Hey 8 Mile Ninjas,

‍Mike will be the first to admit, he has some mobility issues. Being 6'8 and grabbing a bar that is 9" off the floor is a whole lot harder then for someone who isn't so tall. Mike has taken action to improve weaknesses. He does daily ROMWODs and always shows up to class early to prime his body for the class ahead. Mike is a smart guy, he knows that a life of inactive and computer work has put him behind the 8 ball.

There are so many gyms and so many programs on social media where everything “looks the best”. People can easily get caught up in what this person is doing, another person’s gains becau se they did this, or think “I need to do more”.Without a doubt there are great programs out there, great tricks, drills, and stand alone workouts. However, what people don’t see is the grand scheme of what Athlete X or Program Z is doing. One can’t judge a painting from one brush stroke. All programs, of any quality, are designed with the end in mind.

Jackie is one of our original members from when we opened in late 2013. She shows up atleast 5 days a week and always works hard. Though we have different definitions of what “hard” is, she continues to buy into coaching and progress on everything across the board. Jackie is laid back and always has a good attitude. She treats everyone the same regardless of how long you’ve been a member. Jackie recently competed in his first Olympic Weightlifting Meet (CANUSA Winter Open.) She went 5/6 and took first place in her weight category!! Jackie allows the coaches and the 8 Mile philosphy to force her outside her comfort zone and excel. It’s opened her up to things she never knew she’d enjoy or be great at. Jackie is what 8 Mile is about.
