A great guy came to visit me a few months ago to learn from me and what I do at TSS. He was sick and tired of training in a typical Anytime Fitness gym. If you want to make changes, you must make sacrifices. This guy, Chris Eacho, is going to be an ass kicker because he has the right mind set. He doesn't spend his free time bitching and complaining, he takes action to make himself better. I love it.
 I think YouTube is awesome. Maybe its the anonymity that allows people to be so crazy with the things they say, but nonetheless, if you ever want to have a good laugh and you're not too sensitive, just start reading the comments on any popular YouTube video. People are absolutely ruthless. Fortunately, I think it's just plain funny because I have thick skin, and it actually gives me great ammunition to throw back at anyone else who does something worthy of ridicule. Well, I just wanted to take a few moments to share some awesome comments I have received over the years via the interwebs, and please feel free to share your thoughts if you like. I realize this is kind of a shameless plug of myself and a free testimonial from the people, but I didn't make anybody write the stuff ;p
And remember, if you wanna be super awesome, check out our private Strength & Conditioning membership area for all the latest TSS info! If none of the experts ever gave back, we would have only a bunch of idiots walking around telling others what to do.

 Mikey doing work as I 'Coach' For those of you interested in training with us, training for yourself, to make you a better person, here are some guidelines to follow. They work for life in general. I stole this from Michael Rutherford, from Crossfit Kansas City, Coach Rut is the real deal. So much can be taken from these 10 key points, please consider them before making a decision that could change your life.
Coaching assessment 1. I am willing to make the coaching process an investment in myself. I view it as a long-term approach to creating changes in my life. I am not looking for a quick fix. ___________ 2. I am ready to do the work necessary to get me where I want to be, and I will let the coach do the coaching. ____________ 3. I am willing to change any self-defeating behaviors that are creating a barrier to my success. ____________ 4. I accept responsibility for my actions and will not expect the coach to “fix” me, because I know I’m the only one who can make it happen. ____________ 5. I have adequate funds to pay for coaching and will not regret the investment. I view coaching as a worthwhile investment in me, not an expense, and I will not allow finances to be a barrier to coaching. ____________ 6. I am willing and able to be completely truthful with my coach, and I’m ready to hear the truth from my coach even if it is uncomfortable at first. ____________ 7. Coaching is the appropriate process for the changes I want to make. ____________ 8. I am able to commit the time needed to make and keep scheduled coaching sessions and to do the fieldwork that my coach asks of me. ____________ 9. I’m open to trying new things when my coach asks me, even if they aren’t completely comfortable or I’m not convinced they will make a difference. ____________ 10. This is the right time in my life for me to accept coaching. ____________ Realize that life changes take an investment, not necessarily monetary, but mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. If you aren't willing to pay the price, don't waste your time. For those of you who want to make a serious change, invest in yourself and join our membership area. Enhance your training, and watch your strength grow. Contact me and get started today. The only thing that is underground about this gym is its location. This is how many gyms are around here. You walk into a building with no sign on the wall and go down a bare hallway, then down some stairs. You feel like you're in an old apartment building just heading downstairs to fix the boiler. All of a sudden you are surrounded with muscle building equipment. I loved it, here it is...
