Why the Gym Is the Best Third Place
We go to work. We go home. We go to work again. Somewhere in that loop, we lost the places where community used to just happen. Here's why the gym might be the best third place you're not taking seriously.
Your Feet Take the Heaviest Load. Are You Recovering Them Like It?
I'm not a professional athlete, but I train like one and after putting upward of 1,000 lbs of load on my feet during strongman and bodybuilding sessions, my feet started demanding respect. At 46, I developed plantar fasciitis for the first time, spent eight months searching for relief, and tried nearly 30 different insoles. Then I discovered Kane Active Footwear through an artist collab and slipped on my first pair of Kane Revives and after one full day, my foot felt completely normal again. Here's why Kane is now a permanent part of my post-workout recovery routine, and why your feet deserve the same.

The Smashing Machine, director Benny Safdie's solo debut from A24, arrives in theaters October 3, 2025, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in a visceral exploration of UFC Hall of Famer Mark Kerr's rise and fall.

The new Aviator 900 ANC headphones mark Skullcandy's bold entry into the premium audio space at $299.99, and after putting them through their paces (including some unconventional gym testing), I can confidently say the wait was worth it.
Absolute Recomp Gym Review: High-End Equipment, But Does It Deliver?
Absolute Recomp claims to be "the best gym in America." But does it live up to the hype and is it worth your money? As someone who has visited over 200 gyms and developed a rating system based on equipment, maintenance, atmosphere, staff, and inclusivity, I put this luxury fitness center to the test. My friend CJ (who's training for a bodybuilding competition) and I spent two and a half hours hitting chest day at their Fort Worth location. Here's what we discovered.

Can a Jacked & Juicy Mass Monster have a good workout at Walt Disney World?
