I went mask optional at Tucson Strength last week when the governor said the mandates were no longer law. I have received some feedback and a small handful people are not happy, but most are happy we are no longer requiring it.
The biggest reason we went mask optional is that my highest risk population of 60 and above are vaccinated. Many of my younger clientele that have wanted to get vaccinated are also vaccinated. We have a 13,000sqft facility and are never near capacity. The only documented incidents from gyms spreading the virus were in small studio settings where people were partaking in HIIT/Spin classes training closely together, and that does not apply to our gym.
We are still holding our higher intensity classes outside for the time being since people tend to breathe heavier in those situations.
Though you can exercise while wearing a mask, it isn’t optimal. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. The WHO still suggests to NOT wear a…

This sauce came to be when dreaming up a new stir fry for spring. We love the addition of tahini for creaminess and a unique nutty flavor. It’s also a welcome departure from peanut butter.
This sauce is incredibly well balanced with a hint of fresh ginger, savory tamari, maple syrup, lime, and chili garlic sauce. It’s perfect for making ahead of time to have on hand for quick stir-fried grains, vegetables, and noodles!

We have a new stir-fry for you, and it’s not just any stir-fry. It puts our DELICIOUS Tahini Stir-Fry Sauce to use and has SUPER flavorful tofu, tons of fresh veggies, and lots of rice noodles that soak up all the saucy goodness! It’s downright addictive and you’ll be going back for seconds (and thirds).
Plus, it’s customizable depending on what veggies you have on hand and requires just 10 ingredients!

James Peyer was involved in the aging-focused fund Apollo Ventures before he moved on to the more recent venture industry initiative that evolved into Cambrian Biopharma. Cambrian is arguably even more focused on creating new biotech startups to treat aging, rather than investing in existing companies, than is the case for Apollo. Many venture capitalists are coming to the conclusion that the pace at which new biotech companies in this space are arising is too slow to provide sufficient opportunities for the capital that could be harnessed to produced progress. That pace must thus be accelerated.
Peyer is a regular on the conference circuit, and can be relied upon to give interesting, thoughtful presentations on the state of the science, the state of the funding, and what the venture co…
