Confidence. Each session will include small group discussions focusing on individuals strengths and goals. Goal notebooks will be provided to each of the participants to utilize as they see fit during the program.
Wellness. Girls will complete a functional fitness style workout under the watchful eye of our coaching staff. Each workout will be tailored to the individual so participants of all fitness levels will get the most of each session. Girls will also spend a portion of their time learning the basics of nutrition and leave replenished with a healthy snack.
Relationships. Girls will be mentored by qualified coaches and will learn to communicate with one another and work together as a team to create solid habits and reach their goals.
Space is limited so reserve a spot for your daughter, niece, or friend today!

It is with mixed emotions we announce Coach Garrett will be leaving Five Alarm to pursue a new adventure in a different state. While he hasn’t settled on his final destination, he’s excited for the change in scenery and the new challenges. Garrett has played an integral part in our team and our Five Alarm family over the last couple of years and will be greatly missed. And while we are sad to see him go, we know he’ll do great in this next chapter of his life.
As Garrett’s plans continue to unfold, we will update all of you. Stay tuned for his official last day (don’t worry, we still have a month or so with him) along with details for his going away party.
Good luck, Garrett!!
If you’ve been in the fitness arena for any length of time, you’ve inevitably heard the saying “Hard Work Pays Off” or seen the acronym “HWPO.” Popularized by five time Games champion, Mat Fraser, we now see this on Nike apparel, gym letter boards, and hashtags on social media accounts across the world. But is it true? Does hard work REALLY pay off, or is this just another cute internet saying?
The short answer? Yes, in most situations, I believe it does. That being said, it doesn’t happen overnight. Many times it may take weeks, months, or even years to see the results.
Probably the better question to ask yourself is “Am I REALLY working hard?” Take your diet for example. You’ve been crushing it for two whole weeks; abstaining from alcohol, fast food, even your daily latte is on the back burner. But now it’s the weekend and you’re going out to celebrate your friend’s promotion at work. You order a of couple drinks and have the dessert with full intention of getting back on the wagon tomorrow. But the next day, you realize you don’t have any food prepped, so you order pizza and breadsticks for dinner (because hey, supporting small businesses is important too). Wednesday, your coworker brings in a homemade apple pie their wife made and you have just one slice. After all, you’ve been “working hard” at your diet and one piece won’t hurt. When you step on the scale the next Friday, those 5 pounds you initially lost are back and staring you in the face. Why? Because at the end of the day, you didn’t REALLY work hard to lose that weight. It’s not your nutrition plan or your exercise program. It’s not your coach’s fault and you definitely aren’t a special snowflake who’s the exception to the rule. You just really didn’t put in the time or effort to see success. You didn’t want it enough. You didn’t work THAT hard.
Hard work takes discipline. Hard work means doing things you may not always enjoy in the moment knowing that the pay off will be worth it down the road. Hard work might sometimes mean doing something that people around you think is crazy but knowing it’s a stepping stone toward reaching your goals. Hard work is just that…..it’s hard.
So yes, hard work DOES indeed pay off….if you’re willing to actually put in the hard work.
