Something shifted last weekend. ❤️

Not because of the weights.
Not because of the numbers.

But because people showed up for people.
Encouraged. Celebrated. Supported.

Progress looks different here.
This is what BBD looks like. 💪🔥

Something shifted this week 💪❤️

It wasn’t about numbers or pressure.
It was about people showing up for each other.
Encouragement felt loud.
Wins felt shared.

Add in a little holiday energy 🎄🎉 and it became a reminder of why this place matters.

PR Party, the BBD way.

“I didn’t think this was possible.” 💭

Mary Claire came to us with early-onset osteoporosis.
Strength training wasn’t just about getting stronger 💪
It was about changing her health trajectory.

A recent DEXA scan showed a complete reversal 📈

Stories like this are why we do what we do ❤️

If you’re hesitant or unsure where to start, you’re not alone.
We’ll meet you where you are 🤝

Stop squatting your kettlebell swing. 👇

Most people turn the swing into a squat without realizing it.
Your swing should be a hip hinge, not a knee-dominant pattern.

Load the glutes.
Keep the shins vertical.
Let the bell float.

Save this for your next training session, your back will thank you.

LEANING FORWARD IN YOUR SQUAT? 🤔
This usually isn’t a “form” problem… it’s a pressure problem. 🥫💥

When your core loses tension, the whole frame collapses forward.
Think of your torso like a soda can. Full of pressure equals strong.
Lose pressure and it collapses instantly. ⚡️

Dial in your 360° brace 🌐
Pull the bar down to lock your upper body in 🔒
Fix the pressure and the squat cleans up fast 🧼🏋🏻‍♂️

BBD isn’t a location.

Where are you taking the flag next? 👇🏽

✈️ Training in NYC this week and keeping it simple.
When you travel, you don’t need a perfect gym… you just need a plan.

Here’s the formula I use anywhere I go:
1 Push
1 Pull
1 Leg
Slow. Clean. Controlled.

Any gym. Any hotel. Any schedule.
Consistency always wins.
If you’re traveling this holiday weekend, try this and stay moving.

Keep it simple. Keep it powerful.
Always upgrading.

📍 New York, NY
Transforming Lives. Building Community.

One small adjustment can make this whole exercise feel completely different.
📍 Lean forward a bit.
📍 Soft knees.
📍 Brace your core.
📍 Let the cable follow your lats.

💪🏼 You’ll feel better tension and less shoulder strain on your very next rep.

✨ Small change.
✨ Big difference.
✨ Better training.

🔁 Save this for later.

❤️ Transforming Lives. Building Community.

Progress in the gym and progress in life. 📈

What makes us different is simple.
We coach with purpose. 🎯
We care deeply about every person who walks through our doors. ❤️

Proud of the community that makes BBD what it is.
Let’s keep growing together. 🌟💪

🧩 SQUAT TROUBLESHOOTING 101 — Part 2: Hip Control & Stability

Knees cave in when you squat? It often starts at the hips.
Your hips play a big role in knee alignment — when they don’t fire well, the knees tend to drift inward.

Before you squat, try:
🔹 Monster Walks — 2×15 steps
🔹 Clam Shells — 2×12 each side

These drills prime the muscles that support and stabilize your hips — your external rotators.
That outer-hip strength helps keep your knees from drifting during the movement.

Strong hips = stable knees = better squat.
