Blog Relaunch

As you may know, the purpose of this blog was to highlight other local businesses and provide resources for you, your friends, your family, etc. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the profound effects it has caused, we have shifted our focus and response - just like many other businesses.

Solana Beach Spotlight: Orangetheory Fitness

Orangetheory is a boutique fitness studio that incorporates HIIT (high-intensity interval training) with long recovery periods. Classes typically utilize three primary stations: treadmill, indoor rowing, and weight training. Each class will be catered with an endurance, power, strength, or combination emphasis. Upon checking in for each class, attendees put on a heart rate monitor that is synchronized with the studio’s software and display panels which are located on the studio floor. The display boards utilize a color-coding system to describe different heart rate zones - each part of the workout has a targeted zone. When targeted heart rate zones are acquired, attendees are awarded with “splat points”, or a trademarked metric to track effort progression.

Life as a Rugby Athletic Trainer with Chris Belmonte, ATC

There is a huge financial need in American rugby in general. With funding problems, it’s not always easy to get the management, medical, or supporting roles compensated. With field fees, equipment upkeep, etc., medical funding isn’t necessarily at the top of the list. Most clubs stress about paying the bills year by year, they’re not putting money away for their own AED (automated external defibrillator), they’re covering player dues.
