The Bridge of Strength and Endurance: Beta Test Program

By

I live in the city of Pittsburgh, and this city is often called “The City of Bridges”. Bridges provide passages over obstacles and connect two points together. I am obsessed with the bridges here in Pittsburgh. They remind me of all the strong steel strength we have in this incredible city! Speaking of bridges, I […]

My Healthy Munchies Haul

By

So, a little background on me and snacks. We don’t get along. I mean, we did when I was a kid, but this lead me to a pretty unhealthy life and weight. All that snacking really dragged me down, and I was in no way healthy. Even as I became more diet-conscious, all those “low-fat” […]

My Favorite Smoothies This Week- Alexandra Barone

By

Well, it’s officially HOT in Pittsburgh. Okay, it’s kinda warm. Like, it’s nice to be outside and I’m rocking shorts regularly. Naturally, my meals are starting to reflect the sunshine and that means smoothies. I secretly want soups and stews, but it’s all about the cold stuff, salads included. The fun part about a smoothie? […]

Primal Fitness Pittsburgh South Side VIP Program

By

WE’RE MOVING TO THE SOUTH SIDE! ! It’s exciting and I can’t wait for everyone to start swinging bells with me on May 4th. It’s been a long road considering we had to move out of our own digs in a week and essentially “recreate” Primal Fitness Pittsburgh from the ground up. But, all of […]

May The 4th- Storming the Gates of the South Side!

I am excited to announce that we have officially begun our moving process to 903 East Carson Street. Today, I wanted to ramp things back up and let yinz all […]

Spring into These Seasonal Recipes- Alexandra Barone

By

Ah! The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining (at least as much as it’s going to in Pittsburgh for now), and new produce is popping up left and right. Move over pumpkin and beets; we’re into all things asparagus right now. Bright green hues, fresh herbs (go plant some!) and light fare are all […]

The Yo-Yo Effect: Why Sustainable Methods Yield Life Long Results

By

I’ve got a bit of a rant today. Bare with me ninjas (if you’re following my facebook status, you’ll know why I said that 😉 ) If there is one habit I used to struggle with, it was all-or-nothing thinking. That “work out VERY HARD ALL THE TIME or don’t work out at all” attitude. […]

Finding Hope In Strength: How Training Together Helps Us Thrive

By

The past 72 hours here at Primal Fitness Pittsburgh have been absolutely unreal. After wrapping up our killer book release at OTB, we have had people around the city and the world contacting us about something quite different, and honestly, something I hadn’t even expected from some of the first few chapters of Powerful Pressing. […]

Priorities: What do you Want and How Bad do You Want It?

By

I had no idea that “Banjo Night” was a thing in the Greater City of Pittsburgh, but last week, I found myself at the Elk’s Lodge on the North Side of Pittsburgh listening to men in their 70’s and 80’s play their banjos for a number of hours into the evening (and in case you […]
