Community is everything
Have you had a chance to listen to Michelle Obama’s new podcast on Spotify? Her first episode is with President Obama. It’s all about the importance of community and it struck a chord with us. […]
Smart Training, Strong Community
Hyatt Training turns 9 next month, and there are many little carefully considered elements that play into our members’ experience with our business. Each one of those little things ties back to our core values as a business and, personally, as leaders of Hyatt Training. […]
August at the Studio
As we adjust to the new, socially distanced way of life at the studio, we definitely miss the hum and cadence of life pre-COVID. Some of our members are still online and some are at the studio. Strategically, we’ve created a flow where there are just never very many people at the studio at one time. Today’s email is a glimpse and glimmer inside Hyatt Training. […]
Grip Strength
Grip strength/endurance is an indicator of overall health and a predictor of life length and quality. Several studies have also linked grip strength with mortality, rehabilitation, cognition, and depression. So, if you increase your grip strength will you add years to your life? Not necessarily, but a stronger grip may help you perform the sort of daily activities that will. A weakened grip may be a warning sign of other issues. […]
We get by with a little help from our friends
As trainers, we live to share information on exercise, nutrition, stress management, sleep, meditation, breathing, exercise some more, nutrition a lot more and on and on. BUT, what good does all that do for us if we don’t have a plan to put it together? Sure we know what we should probably eat, when we likely should go to bed. Implementing those activities in a way that is sustainable is the key, and the trick, to all of it. […]
Masking-up: considerations for a new normal
After a myriad of pivots and adjustments these past few months, we now find ourselves integrating mask-wearing as a way of life. Whether you’re embracing this reality with open arms, approaching it as a community responsibility, or somewhat begrudgingly agreeing to follow the rules, we all must navigate how to best assimilate to this new aspect of daily living that is here to stay for a while. […]
Working through emotions with your body
When I’m having a terrible day, there are usually three big factors. 1. The inciting incident. 2. The post-incident mental loop. 3. Everything else going on in my life. The incident happens. It doesn’t matter what it is. A rude email, traffic, oversleeping the alarm. I’m in stress response mode. […]
July at Hyatt Training – heading towards normal
Being closed for 98 consecutive days was the hardest thing Hyatt Training has ever gone through. During the past 4 months we’ve lost 6 trainers to lifestyle changes and our community has been blown apart by any number of disruptions. Waiting has been so hard. But it’s here. Finally. The path towards recovery, normalcy. Being open is amazing. No matter the limited number of sessions, the masks, the cleaning schedules, we are OPEN! We are on the path forward and back to normal.

Proactive vs. Reactive
Two weeks has turned into 3 months with no signs of the finish line. The luckiest of us have been able to coax ourselves into a structure of physical routines that support our health. We’re eating, sleeping, moving our bodies. These are all good things. […]
Everything you need to know about coming back to Hyatt Training
The reality of “normal life” has shifted for now. Step 1 in our new normal at Hyatt Training is the reopening of our common gathering space. The next steps are taking shape as we look to ways to keep our community close-knit while maintaining a vibrant and healthy space. We can’t wait to share the details that we’ve got in store. […]
Success story: Chaz Whiting
Like many people, Chaz works a job that forces a lot of time at the computer, but he also is an avid outdoorsman and Do-It-Yourselfer. He came to Hyatt Training without a ton of training experience, but with an open mind willing to try everything that was thrown at him. It wasn’t long before Chaz was ripping body-weight deadlifts off the ground and falling in love with the mental and physical challenges that come with kettlebell practice. His consistency in his training has been impeccable; he’s always getting in extra workouts at the studio and kettlebell practice at home, pushing to get better each week. One of the greatest parts of working with Chaz has been getting to hear numerous stories about how his (sometimes very intense) home renovation projects have been easier to accomplish since beginning training!
