    Check Out Our New BFP Athlete of the Month!!!

    This month I wanted to give a shout out to Jack MacDonald for being the athlete of the month at BFP! Jack has attended a few of your summer youth camps in the past, but he is now gearing up to head into high school. He has been training consistently this year and has shown some serious improvement with his speed work and lifting. Jack is a hard worker and gets his workout done without me ever getting onto him. He is super coachable and has a good athletic skill set. He currently plays hockey in Wilmington, but I would bet he would be a good athlete at any sport he participated in! His mom, Anne MacDonald also works out at BFP and is setting a great example for Jack on maintaining ....

    BFP Running Guide

    Running is defined as the “fastest” means for an animal to move on foot! This complex and coordinated process we call running, involves the entire body! When running, there are two systems that are primarily used: aerobic (oxidative) energy system and anaerobic (anaerobic) energy system. The aerobic energy system is typically used for any form of physical activity that lasts longer than two minutes. For example, a distance runner or long-distance cycler. The anaerobic energy system is typically used for quick, explosive bouts of activity. A great example of an anaerobic exercise is sprinting! Now that we understand the different energy systems that will be primarily used when ....

    BFP Family Member Of The Month: Stephanie Southerland! This month I want to recognize a long time BFP member, Stephanie Southerland! She is an 8am er’ and is always a joy to have in my sessions. Steph has been super consistent with her training the last 6+ years and moves like a champ. Her Myzone status is Platinum, which means she has earned well over 1300 MEPS, every month since January 2020. Woot woot, congrats! So I have been coaching Steph forever and she has definitely had her ups and downs in the gym, but I always applaud her for getting back up on the horse and pressing on.

    Race Day Readiness Pt. 2

    Race Day Nutrition One would hope that your nutrition is fairly healthy in general, given the amount of time and effort that goes into training for a Spartan Race. In general, you should focus on lots of whole foods, lots of lean proteins, very few processed foods and sugars, and very little alcohol consumption. Carb Loading What is carb loading? Is it necessary? In general, if you are running a Sprint (3.1 miles + 20 obstacles) or a Super (6.2 miles + 25 obstacles), you shouldn’t need to carb load unless you are planning to run both races in a single weekend. Carb loading becomes necessary when you plan to run the Beast (13.1 ....

    Race Day Readiness - Spartan SGX at BFP

    RACE DAY READINESS PART 1 - GEAR If you’re like me, you have a million questions and anxieties about what to bring, wear, eat, and do for a Spartan Race. So I thought I’d do my best to answer as many frequently asked pre-race questions as I could. What started as a half page blog quickly turned into several pages of advice, tips, and tricks that I have picked up over the past years and through my SGX training. So we decided to split my blog into parts. In this part, we’ll talk about race day gear. Before we get started, let me say, you can race in anything. You do not need to spend an exorbitant amount of money on gear. I showed up to my first Spartan ....

    I want to give this young lady a shoutout for being athlete of the month at BFP! Lillian Carrell has been a rockstar since she started with us in 2020. She is very polite with the coaches and her fellow peers, which is refreshing to see. She trains with the middle school group and on top of coming into BFP, she also participates in ballet, so she stays busy! I remember the first day Lillian came in because we were doing med ball slams as part of the workout and she was outworking everyone. Not gonna lie, she kinda surprised me with how well she did. Fast forward to today, I have seen Lillian grow into a strong, confident lady who works hard every session. One thing about ....

Best. Gym. Ever. I have tried all of the others, and Breakaway is beyond compare. I get smiles and high fives every time I walk in, and I walk out feeling like an athlete after every workout. There’s something new to try all the time, and the coaches are there to make sure I do it right without injury. If you want a personal training experience among friends in an uplifting environment, Breakaway is for you!

Simply the best gym that I have ever joined.   The coaches made sure I knew how to do all the lifts correctly when I first started.  Since then, I've gotten consistently stronger by following their training program.  The atmosphere is encouraging, friendly, and fun.

Four years with our family here and I can't say enough good things. The coaches are kind, energetic and passionate about their jobs. Our teenagers have positive body images and are learning life long healthy habits. Silas, Joe, Blake, Iris, and Shawn have taken the time to know every member and truly care about each person that walks through the door.

I have been a member of Breakaway Fitness & Performance for almost 4 years. This place is so much more than a gym! It's weight training with trainers that work with each person on proper form to prevent injuries, it's an individual accountability program to help keep you on track, it's an amazing nutrition program, and my favorite part... Spartan race training!! This is my 2nd year of Spartan racing, and thanks to Breakaway's training & obstacles, last year I trifecta'd, and this year I placed 3rd in my age group! I never, never would have considered trying obstacle course racing without the training and encouragement from Breakaway! The atmosphere here is amazing and keeps me coming back for more! LOVE my gym family!
