In honor of all the things WE LOVE this week... #SWEATANDFEAST is on the TOP of our list! It started with weekend workouts with friends in our driveway, usually on a Sunday. We would workout hard together (SWEAT) and then we take the time to cook a delicious whole/real food dinner together (FEAST). We called it our “Sunday Sweat and Feasts”. The goal was to enjoy time together with friends while doing things that benefit our bodies and improve our lifestyle. Sweat & Feast has now grown into a movement and people all over are taking time to workout together and prepare/eat healthy foods. In Cleveland we have even hosted Sweat & Feast events with our fave local food spots, @townhallohc and their sister restaurant @wearerebol. These restaurants focus on providing quality, organic, and non-gmo foods for all dietary needs and lifestyles...it falls right in line with our Sweat & Feast style. Grab your people and get after it y’all!! So many photos: @larrycrooks @ctowneastbank @timfromohio @townhallohc

Keeping Kissing Flexy 😂. #Valentines week is the perfect time to celebrate things WE LOVE! This week we will be sharing what we are LOVING lately (will not be all smooching photos)! 🥰 Photo: @datefitofficial

They don’t have to show up, they WANT to! 100+ college girls came to workout with me 🙋🏼‍♀️ (BA) at 7&8pm after a full day of college-ness! 🙌 Y’all are already making fitness a habit, and that is HUGE! You are making your health a priority. I am proud to coach you and hopefully you will never forget proper push-up form 😉. #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #chaarg #women #strongwomen #workout #fun #games #kentstate #work #college #girlswholift #strong #healthy #fitness #fitfam

Well, that got weird. Sweaty Saturday with @blackflag_athletics squad. We don’t always spend 4 hours in the gym... but when we do it’s a Saturday. #wolfpack #fittestfriends 🐺💪 Thank you @blackflagcoachtr and fam for having us today and leaving us with the quote “how lucky are we that we get to do this!” ❤️ Thank you @scottpanchik for programming all of those workouts, it was seamless. ❤️

Last night we hosted an intimate workshop at the beautiful @theloftatharnesscycle. Attendees got to experience us up close and personal (without us yelling at them to do another rep). We shared our lifestyle pillars as well as some of our favorite local “healthy hacks”, we cooked our favorite recipe (our cookies), feasted on @wearerebol, and spent some time helping everyone who came explore there “why” (as it relates to being healthy). It was a magical night...special for us as we don’t usually get to experience things so intimate and deep with those who attend our events...and special for those who came because many folks experienced real breakthroughs and learnings. Everyone was open and vulnerable and spoke their goals with pride...it was the definition of better together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and THANK YOU to the community of local brands that made it a success: @harnesscycle @wearerebol @clekraut @perfectlyimperfectproduce @thedairyfreeco @drinknooma @rawtrainer @codechiro @cfmentality @crossfit_cliffside @grooveryde @tbc.ohiocity @harvestbellfarm @restorehealthbar #cleveland is a special place to call home.

Shhhhh we told our kids we had an “appointment” tonight 🤫. We at the #Cavs game tho. #lietoyokids No, don’t... but, do what you gotta do. 🤥

Many of you may not know this buuuuut @ralphlazaro is a Senior Executive at a booming technology company, @wearefindaway. He is busy leading others all day errday...yet, somehow finds time to help make us delicious dinners, meet our kid’s wild demands, and he “finds a way” to keep his biceps and legs bigger than mine 😍 (we agreed upon the last thing before “I do”). 🤜🤛 There aren’t enough hours in the day unless you make them. There is no special formula here... hard work and passion baby!! Thank you for leading us the way you do. #mcm Chilly feet and beautiful photo: @manmcdan
