Despite a freakish May snowfall here at Anytime HQ, summer has pretty much arrived for most of us in North America. It’s the time of year when everyone wants to be outside biking, hiking, running, golfing, swimming, gardening, grilling, or whatever your chosen activity may be.

It’s all-too-easy to skip the gym on days like these. But we’re here to set you straight. Turns out that now might just be the very best time to get in the gym. Self-serving? Most assuredly. But that doesn’t make it any less true! Allow us to explain.

As the temperature rises, so should your workout intensity! This month's workout calendar has been designed to "take it up a notch." We'll keep things interesting by linking to some of our custom workouts right in the calendar. Just add in your favorite cardio and strength sessions at the gym and you'll keep charging ahead toward your goals.

As a personal trainer, I often get asked which is better: treadmill or elliptical? And while I personally am not a fan of the elliptical, I do see the benefits for some. Let’s break down the pros and cons and figure out which would work best for you.

When you have a race or other athletic event on the calendar, you follow a training regimen to prepare yourself. But are you equally intentional about the food you consume leading up to the big day?

This guide explains the why, who, what, and when of healthy carbohydrate-loading before a race. And it's not all garlic bread, pasta, and potatoes!

Bi's, tri's, and glutes, oh my! If you're unsure of what these terms mean, you're not alone. It's not uncommon for gym-goers to be confused by certain "gym lingo." If someone asked you right now to do 2 sets of 20 reps of burpees, would you know how?

Luckily, we've created a mini-dictionary for fitness buzzwords like these that'll have you talking the talk the next time you're in the gym.

We make New Year's Resolutions with only the best of intentions. And most of us fall off the wagon. We get it, we've all been there. But it's a new month. Time to lift your chin and get back to the gym! This calendar will help you do just that!

Wednesday is the perfect day for a good, hard workout. We have shaken the weekend cobwebs off with the Monday and Tuesday workouts. I have created a workout for both beginners and the advanced. This is a new year and that means there will be a lot of new faces in January, and Anytime's will be filled with future success stories wandering the gym looking for guidance. Let's get right into it!
