As we come upon the 2 year anniversary of Dane’s Body Shop it is important to look at where we started and where we want to go. No matter if you are a new comer or DBS veteran we all came from a certain ability level and place in life when we walked into the shop. Determination to come to the shop each day no matter what the weather, what happened at the office or school, or getting the kids dressed in the morning, proves you have the drive and now we need to give that drive a purpose. Each day we come in the gym we are practicing skills and movements for a purpose, to get better. What areas do you want to improve, what skills do you still struggle with, where do you see yourself physically, mentally and emotionally in the next 3, 6, 9 months to a year? We encourage you to let your coaches know your goals and ask for any help you need to set realistic and obtainable goals for this coming year.

“Weird like Austin,” -we here at Dane’s would like to say.

In under two years, Dane’s Body Shop has made a significant mark on the idea of Fitness Life in Austin. Mixing Cross Training Fitness with Yoga and other longevity exercises has been the main objective at “The Shop” and it is consistently seen in our relationship with the local community that backs and supports us. We are passionate, knowledgable, weird and different…and people love that.

This DBS Community, on the morning of June 9th, 2012, came out to Camp Mabry for the Austin Fit Magazine’s FIT-TEST Challenge to support Team DBS. The Fit-Test was comprised of 10 events that tested an athletes power, strength, accuracy, speed and endurance. It was tough, but thanks to the badass DBS Community that showed up to support Team DBS, the team rallied together and took First Place in the Team Division! Coach Leann took 3rd in her devision and 6th overall! Coach Dane took 1st in his division and 2nd overall!

The mood was set when the Dane’s Body Shop crowd roared at every event. An overwhelming energy that struck fear in the hearts of other teams!! Thanks to you all, we had success as a community. Dane’s Body Shop works out weird, listens to weird music, rides weird bikes and brings their weird friends with them to workouts. We think it’s a beautiful thing!

Team DBS:

What a great weekend we had! What awesome energy everyone in our Community brought to the Austin’s FIT-TEST Competition at Camp Mabry! If you’re in the Shop and ask one of the Coaches how they feel about what this weekend meant to them, they’ll more than likely well up a little and smile…A big proud smile full of happiness and pride. We are all proud. TEAM DBS did spectacular and the results are about to be official. We will post the official results as soon as Austin Fit Magazine has informed us.

In the meantime, continue the hard work and enjoy these photo teasers!

Great success with our Community Pot Luck yesterday!

We are so glad we can be a part of such an awesome and growing group of healthy minded and physically active people. Great cooks it would seem, as well! Pictures from yesterdays pot luck will come soon, and for now we get back to the fusion workouts and get ready for healthy exuberance! If you left dishes, they will be in the office. 🙂

When you finish a workout the importance of stretching and cooling down must not be underestimated. We make sure there is a fusion cool down attached to every workout we do. That is part of our philosophy. That is why we will stay fit for the rest of our lives.

A few important benefits of the “Dane’s Body Shop” *Fusion cool down:

• helps the heart rate and respiration slow down gradually
• avoid any dizziness associated with workout intensity
• helps rid the lactic acid waste from the body so the muscles recover faster
• increases our strength throughout range of motion
• teaches us a little well needed yoga
