Dumbbells and Divebars: Where our new RV life meets our love of fitness, food and drinks.
Hi! We’re excited to share the story of our new life on the road, where dumbbells meet dive bars and fitness meets exploration. My wife Robyn and I recently made a bold and slightly scary decision: we sold our home, closed our garage gym, and bought an RV to embark on the ultimate journey across the country. Our goal? To see as much of this beautiful nation as possible while staying committed to our fitness goals and connecting with incredible people along the way.
Hitting the Road
Leaving behind the familiar comforts of home was not easy, but I talked Robyn into experiencing life beyond NJ and our garage gym. After years of helping others achieve their fitness goals, we decided it was time to take a leap into the unknown. With our RV ready to roll, we packed EVERYTHING we thought we may need, including our dumbbells and workout gear (maybe even some bourbon), and we set off on an adventure that would blend our passion for fitness with our desire to travel.
Traveling with Purpose
As we hit the open road, our first goal is to visit Robyn’s family in the south. Then we plan to explore the diverse landscapes and vibrant cities of the United States, all while maintaining our fitness routines and training our clients on our mobile fitness app. From the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the views from the Pacific Coast Highway, we’re on a quest to find the best places to train and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Each stop offers a new opportunity to discover unique workout spots, whether it’s a local gym, a scenic park, or even a beach. Of course, we will also be making stops back in New Jersey to see family and friends.
Drinks and Discovering
That being said, our traveling isn’t just about working out in new places; it’s also about indulging in the local flavors and culture. We plan to visit a variety of restaurants and dive bars along the way, sampling regional dishes and some of our old favorites. We believe that enjoying life includes eating delicious food and enjoying some drinks. We're excited to discover hidden gems in every town we visit. Robyn will likely be sampling some sweet red Sangria and I will be searching to find the best Old Fashioned.
Meeting Amazing People
One of the most rewarding aspects of our travels will undoubtedly be the people we meet along the way. The stories, information, insights and experiences shared by fellow gym-goers, local business owners, and neighbors in the campgrounds we stay in, just to name a few, will surely serve to inspire us on this journey. We believe that every encounter has the potential to teach us something new and create memories to last a lifetime.
Staying Connected
Even while on the road, my commitment to my clients remains unwavering. I still run Outfit Mobile Fitness through a mobile app, which allows me to check in with my clients each morning, create personalized workout programs, and expand our reach. This flexibility not only keeps me connected to my fitness community but also motivates me to continue on my own fitness journey.
Join Us on Our Journey
As we head out on the road, we invite you to join us on our journey. We’ll be sharing fitness tips as well as experiences from our travels and stories of the amazing people we meet along the way. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic, a travel enthusiast, or simply someone looking for inspiration, we hope our blog will resonate with you.
So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride filled with dumbbells, dive bars, and unforgettable experiences. Here’s to the adventure of a lifetime—let’s lift, explore, and enjoy life together…Cheers!
