Ready to Find Your Perfect Gym in Fulshear? Here’s What to Ask
Looking for a new gym in Fulshear, TX? Great move! But before diving into any “exclusive membership deals” or locking yourself into a monthly plan, let’s go over some key questions to ask so you find the best fit.
Motivation Monday - Our Words Improve Our Performance
Did you know you can control your destiny with the words you say to others and yourself? This is why I believe so strongly about positive affirmations. If giving yourself positive affirmations is too difficult or feels weird, then try them on your family or friends.
Christmas Party
You’re invited!
You and a “plus 1” are invited to the Blue Eagle Christmas party on Saturday, December 14, from 6-10 PM.
Attire will be semi-formal.
We will serve heavy appetizers.
Our Blue Eagle Workout Philosophy
What about thrusters? They are everything except a lower body pull.... except that you have to perform a clean, which is a lower body pull, to start every set. They do not tax our upper body pulling, which is why we pair thrusters with pull-ups in Fran. But almost every movement will overlap with thrusters in some way.
Stuff The Sleigh - Charity Fundraiser - Sat, Oct 5, 2024
Stuff the Sleigh is a certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to helping children and their families experience, for a moment in time, the joy and spirit of Christmas through year-round giving to those children who are affected by cancer and hematological conditions.
Should We Do Charity Fundraising Workouts?
This Saturday, October 5th, we’re hosting a special charity fundraiser at Blue Eagle Fitness & Nutrition to support Stuff the Sleigh, an incredible organization that helps families affected by childhood cancer. While many know them for their work around Christmas, their impact extends year-round, providing vital assistance to families who travel to Houston for cancer treatments. Whether it’s helping cover the cost of parking, meals, or even providing iPads for kids to stay connected with their loved ones during long hospital stays, Stuff the Sleigh is making a big difference in our community.

Monday Motivation - One "Hard" Thing
I listened to a podcast last week with a woman who seems to have mastered the art of balance. She’s built and sold multiple consulting businesses for millions, raised four kids, and even went to culinary school in her spare time. Impressive, right?

Monday Motivation - Handling Stress
The past couple of weeks have been stressful for many of us. Hurricane Beryl caused about two million Houstonians to lose electricity (and our air conditioning). It also knocked down lots of trees and fences, which you may still be cutting up.

Thought Process for Canceling Classes
Generally speaking, we keep Blue Eagle open when the gym has electricity and it is safe for a coach to drive there. The classes most likely to be canceled are ones that require driving in the dark after or during thunderstorms.

Monday Motivation - Be Better: Get a Coach
TwoBrain Summit
I spent this past weekend in Chicago at the TwoBrain Business Summit. I have two “heroes” in the gym ownership space: Chris Cooper and Ben Bergeron.
Chris Cooper
Chris Cooper started a business mentoring small-business owners, especially of gyms. I love Chris Cooper because of his mindset. He wrote a book called “Help First,” which is exactly what we try to do at Blue Eagle.
Ben Bergeron
What Makes Snacking So Hard?
Monday Motivation - Be Useful!
The picture is of my daughter, Ariana. I have three daughters: Kaeli (18), Avery (16), and Ariana (8). Kaeli loves to swim, Avery loves to play water polo, and Ariana loves to be eight years old. She loves to watch TV, play computer games, and (generally speaking) be useless.
