My SPARTA Strength Class (ages 65–97) at the Malden Senior Center welcomed two summer interns into a full-body experience. ✨These rockstars didn’t just demonstrate—they inspired. From cheers to high-fives, it was age-defying unity in motion.

📣We’re not just breaking a sweat—we’re breaking stereotypes.

I just have to go on record saying, Cambridge tap water is much worse tasting than Somerville and other Boston-area cities.

🗣️Thank you to Nate for having me on the Coach Vision #Podcast

To fellow coaches and #fitness pros: Our lived experiences aren’t just valid—they’re vital. They help us build inclusive spaces, challenge #racism and #misogyny, and drive #health equity in our industry and communities💪🏾

📣These conversations aren’t always easy—but they’re always necessary. And they’re worth it

#Boston #democracy #unity

The trauma of racial profiling is real, and its effects—especially on youth—are long-lasting.

We must ensure that public spaces remain safe and welcoming—not sites of fear or intimidation.

Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve.

👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”

🇺🇸Beyond our differences, a conversation built on respect.

🗣️Today I reconnected with a mentor (now in his eighties) simply to let him know how deeply he’s impacted my life—and that I care about him and his family. The elephant in the room? We hold different ideologies. But I walked through that fear with no expectations—just the intention to reconnect.

✅ It’s not always easy, and outcomes aren’t guaranteed. But initiating conversation is a step—not the end.

🙏🏽RIP to my friend TED LEWIS

Though we only knew each other online, he was a huge inspiration to me. From a USMC '66 veteran to a #photographer, he was a true champion for #community and public access media. I'll always remember his incredible love for life, even doing pushups in his 80s.

✨He truly embodied his own words: "Just a great guy with a sense of humor! And, a desire to achieve, and when and where possible help someone along the road of life!!!"

💟 Mental Health Matters.

I live with clinical depression. I’ve lost a family member to suicide.
I know how real—and how silent—that pain can be. But help is available.

If you’re struggling in any way, please bookmark or share these lifelines.
You never know who might need them.

You are worth it.
You are not alone.

⭐️Meet the rockstars from my SPARTA Strength Class at the Malden Senior Center! Here, age (65-97!), background, or ability don't define us. We don't just lift weights—we lift each other.

ALL are welcome, ALL are an #inspiration. This is what true strength looks like.💪🏾

📣 Pro Tip: Ditch the Daily Weigh-Ins!
➡️ Weekly trends > daily noise.

📚 Fun fact: Studies show that consistency—not gimmicks, shortcuts, or fads—is one of the biggest predictors of long-term weight loss success.

🌞 Hello #fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 89F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.

The #Skating Club of Boston will rename their rink to honor members who died in a plane crash earlier this year.

Doctors and public health organizations are suing over the Trump administration's decision to stop recommending #COVID vaccines for most children and pregnant women.

Trump says he will levy 25% #tariffs against Japan and Korea beginning August 1.

📦 Grateful to see the new batch of tourniquets safely delivered to Murashnik / Ants Kitchen Hub in #Kyiv —already being prepped for the front lines.

I’m constantly inspired by the unity of the Ukrainian community—and especially by the incredible babusias whose strength and spirit stay with me. 💙💛

I value our friendship and look forward to the day I can help rebuild.

Update from Kharkiv 🇺🇦

I just received word that the ⛑️tourniquets I sent were added to first aid kits—and they’re now with the heroes of the 44th Brigade.

This is one of five batches I’ve sent to friends across Lviv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv. 🇺🇸Since 2022, I’ve supported Ukraine both as a humanitarian volunteer and from home. That promise continues.

You are not forgotten.

📣Health Equity. Community Building.

💥This week’s Body-Sculpting Group Workout in Malden shows what’s possible when people of all abilities and backgrounds come together. It’s more than fitness—it’s a chance to meet our neighbors, support one another, and have fun while getting stronger.

And let’s be real—the laughter and the smiles? Great for mental health too. 😄💪🏾

A deeply personal share.

I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.

Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.

Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.
