By Patrick, on November 7th, 2010%

A HUGE congratulations to Jayne, Carlo, Jared, Nick, Tiffany AND Tristan! for competing in Saturday’s Beast of the East competition down at CFNE in Natick.  This day marked the first ever external competition for our studio and all 6 of our athletes did incredibly well against a stacked field of 150+ competitors from all over the North East.  Thank you to all the FitCamp members, friends and family who came down to watch the events, cheer on our competitors and share in the experience.  A special thanks to Ben and Heather (owners of CFNE), all CFNE members, competitors and volunteers, without your passion, time and support none of us would have been able to enjoy such an amazing day.

WEDNESDAY 11.3.10 – Be a local

By Karen, on November 2nd, 2010%

Buying local is getting easier and cheaper all the time. I see farmer’s market stands all over the place.  Not only produce is being sold either, you can find eggs and even grass fed beef right in our area. My Dad is an organic farmer and grows for a market in his area (Ellwood Thompson’s, Richmond VA). I went to their website to get the basics on how important it is to buy local. The main reasons include: it tastes better, it’s better for you, it is not genetically modified, it supports local farm families, it supports community, it keeps your taxes in check and it helps the environment.

Right now apples are in season big time.  I know that one highlight of our Team ThrowDown was Tiff’s apple crisp. So check out the recipe below and go out and buy some local apples, there are lots to choose from!
