On Thursday March 22, 2012 from 6 to 9 p.m. Firestorm Fitness Systems, LLC (aka Firestorm fitcamps! and Fitness Revolution) held a Grand Opening party to celebrate both the location of the business and the wonderful people who make it so.

Here’s a little insight into how my brain works:

Several years ago I posted an article relative to this subject of compromise, along with some of my thoughts. In it I postulated that, more often than not, compromise is a killer.
“A killer? Of what, Uncle Steve?”
Progress.
Quality.
Excellence.
Pick one.
Not always, mind you…but more often than not. If your goal is [...]
I recently watched, in horror actually, as a “fitness trainer” had his female client perform what could only be called a circus act.
