So I’ve fallen in love with this trainer from Arizona, Bret Contreras.  He’s known as the “Glute Guy” as he’s has great success in training people and is know for his “ass development”.  He works mainly in sports conditioning, training athletes.  He’s also an avid blogger and has a huge following of readers, one of them being me. On Facebook a very famous fitness model, Jamie Eason was talking about him, and her post got a huge reaction from alot of...

When did it all stop being fun?

Last night my husband came home from the boxing gym (I’m enjoying a relaxing week off due to burnout) and told me about how we recently had a young man join our gym after a disappointing experience with another club.  He was entered into his first fight on a card and was matched up with a contender 14lbs heavier.  None of the coaches said anything and the official in charge aloud this to take place (There is suppose to be no more then 7lbs weight difference).  Regardless to say this young man was beaten...

It’s NOT all about me? (part one)

Posted by on May 19, 2010 in Blog, Jaime's Gym Rant | 0 comments

I’ve been wanting to write about this subject forever, why I haven’t is beyond me.  One of the biggest problems my coach (and husband) has with me, any many other boxers he trains is their “it’s all about me” mentality.  I can see where he’s coming from. He’s running a gym, he’s coaching a team.  His time is spread out between everyone in the gym and he makes most of his decisions based on what’s best for the team, not necessarily the individual boxer.  And...

Girls CAN’T beat up boys!

Now, if you just read my last blog post, where I was bashing the brains out of the male race, calling them babies and wimps, then all of you men who were so pissed of by that post will LOVE this one…  because I do indeed think women CAN’T beat up Men. Dave made an interesting point the other day when he was talking about his job as a bouncer.  He said that when dealing with rowdy people at the bar the men were always easier to reason with then the women.  He said the the women always went on to...

What is with men in boxing?!

Okay, I am seriously going to get into way to much trouble writing this, but I have had enough.  I know people are gonna single me out as a feminist bitch (which I am) or a total dumb blond (which I am not), or even a ranting, raving lunatic (which is quite possible), but this is a subject that I just HAVE to cover: What is with MEN in boxing?  When did men afford to become such babies in a sport that screams manliness!  In my 4 years involved in this sport I’ve met more women who have more balls then any...

“Yes” is the only answer

Over the last three years that I’ve been boxing I’ve been through a very interesting journey with my coaches.  One of my coaches is my husband, and the other is his best friend, and a good friend of mine.  When I first started boxing, what my husband/coach, Dave told me was GOLD.  It was the absolute, 100% truth.  It was the word of God! But once we were married, and after I’d been boxing for a year and was having a fairly successful boxing career I began to to doubt what Dave told me,...
