Our vision for RUT Santa Monica is to create a culture where fitness is a place of adventure, achievement and joy using the framework of obstacle course racing. Based on these #SpartanSocal photos, I can say that we’re definitely on the right track. 😃❤️ #Repost @rut_campsm with @get_repost ・・・ If there was anyone having more fun than the RUTSM fam at last weekend’s @spartan Super and Sprint in Chino, we have yet to meet them. We put in the hard work day in and day out so we can be all smiles on race day. If that sounds like your jam, hit us up to find out how you can have all the fun, too!
I know it may seem like @spartan Races are all pain and suffering and grit. But take it from me - there is plenty of fun to be had. Race with me and I’ll make sure of it. 😼 #spartan #spartanrace #spartansgx #spartansocal #riseuptraining #riseupraceteam #rowr #meow
Oh hey, so this happened. I think my late 2018 races punched my ticket to @spartan North American Championships, but my top 10 spot on Saturday definitely sealed the deal. Not a bad start to the 2019 racing season! #spartan #spartanrace #spartansgx #spartannachamps #roadtotahoe #ocr #spartanwestvirginia #spartansocal #aroo
Trying something new: navigating the balance of the muddy, dirty, sweaty life I live and trying to have thriving naturally curly hair. Don’t want to fill this page with a bunch of hair talk, so I started a new one just for that. If you want to follow my #curlygirl hair adventure or if you are a fitness enthusiast/athlete with natural curls and are tired of living your entire life in a ponytail, feel free to give @mudsweatncurls a follow. I’ll be talking hair over there! ➰ #Repost @mudsweatncurls with @get_repost ・・・ Hi, I’m Robin aka @robinlegatsgx! I’m a 44-year old athlete, fitness trainer and co-owner of @rut_campsm with my husband Michael. I spend most of my days unshowered and sweaty, and some of my days covered in mud at @spartan races. I also have naturally curly hair that I’ve spent most of my life coloring, highlighting, flat-ironing or shoving into a ponytail. In fact, as someone who gets up at 3:30am several mornings a week to teach 5am classes, the ponytail is pretty much my go-to. I have spent more and more time lately letting my natural curls be free, but I really knew nothing about caring for them. And lately I’ve been getting the itch to cut off some length. While digging around Instagram for curly bob ideas, I stumbled across @goodgravyitswavy - whose page introduced me to a concept I’ve never heard of in all my curly-haired years: #curlygirlmethod. I pretty much spent an entire weekend falling down a #cgmethod rabbit hole and came out of it mostly overwhelmed and confused. But anyone who knows anything about me knows that I’m nothing if not determined. I got myself the Curly Girl Handbook ($1.90 for Amazon Kindle - score!) and I’m reading it now. I bought some basic #curlygirlapproved products and the experiment has begun! These photos show one week of my journey, from most recent to least. I know I have a loooooong way to go and a lot to learn. But I’m happy with the softness and volume I’ve experienced so far. Looking forward to finding that balance between the sweaty, dirty, gritty, muddy life that I love so much and being able to keep my hair happy and healthy.
After a whole seven weeks of off season 🤣, today I finished my first @spartanrace of 2019 in Chino. I ended up finishing in 2:09 and snagging the 10th place spot in my new 45-49 age group. That’s 10 minutes faster than I finished this course last year and six places higher. Considering I had three obstacle fails (two of the new obstacles that showed up for the first time and, of course, the dreaded spear throw), I’m happy with how I finished and placed. Props go out to @coachvolkoff and my @riseup.raceteam teammates for the training and the constant support both on and off the course. And I gotta give a Super Supporter award to @alwyncosgrove, who kept popping up along the course and telling me exactly where I stood and how far I was from 10th place. That may have been clutch in giving me some extra fight in the latter part of the race. And now, rest, food and hydration. Tomorrow I’ll be back for the Sprint - this time running open with friends and @rut_campsm athletes. Looking forward to getting some extra practice on those new obstacles that got my goat today! #spartan #spartanrace #spartansocal #spartanchino #riseupraceteam #riseuptraining #rutsm #spartansgx #over40athlete #spartanover40 #spartanwomen
It’s time! First @spartanrace of the year this weekend practically in my backyard (if it takes 90 minutes to get to my backyard 🤣). Excited to see all my OCR pals, hit the course both for competition and for fun, and to hang and catch up with my Chino-local former @laddtoughcookies teammate @ironmaiven40! Racecation-staycation here I come! #spartan #spartanrace #spartansgx #rollerderby #derbydolls #toughcookies #racecation #staycation #ocr #riseupraceteam #riseuptraining #rutcamp #rutsm
#TBT to the 2017 SoCal @spartan Super, a reminder of the fun I have when I get to run in open heat with friends. I spend a lot of my time concentrating on being the best competitive age group racer that I can be. But I also love being on the course with friends and clients, helping them conquer obstacles and discover the fun that I have found in these races. Excited to do a little of both this weekend in Chino, including witnessing the triumphant return of my Spartner @loveacat (pictured here). 😻 #spartanrace #spartan #spartansocal #spartansgx #riseuptraining #rutcamp #rutsm #riseupraceteam #ocr #spartner #spartancoach #throwbackthursday
Holy #TransformationTuesday and #tenyearchallenge (kinda) all in one! Left: January 2009 Right: December 2018 Every time the photo on the left shows up in my feed, I marvel at how far we’ve come. I was playing roller derby back then, too! But since then, I’ve massively cleaned up my eating, became a fitness professional, retired from roller derby, started obstacle racing, got serious about obstacle racing and the training that goes with it, and opened a gym. And once I got into fitness as a profession, the hubs joined the healthy livin’ and @spartan racin’ ride and, well, his transformation speaks for itself! Hope we can continue to look and feel better and better with each passing decade! #spartan #spartanrace #spartantransformation #spartancouple #fitcouple #ocr #rollerderby #transformation #riseuptraining #rutcamp #rutsm #gymowners #ocrgym #fitafterforty #fitfam
Fun times for this cat lover at the #CatsOnGlass Gallery presented by @freshstep. Aside from being highly Instagrammable (is that a word?), they are adopting cats on-site and Fresh Step is picking up the tab on adoption fees. They’re looking to get 100 cats adopted, so if you’re in LA and considering giving a cat a forever home, come here between now and next weekend and check out all the cuties they have! 😻 #freshstep #freshstepcleanpaws #catsofinstagram #adoptdontshop
