When Dusty and I decided to take a leap of faith, put all our eggs in one basket and move our (growing) family to Raleigh, we made the conscious decision to open with very few people on staff. We often wondered, “how will we find anyone who we trust enough with our business, who is […]

When Dar and I talk about our businesses, the emphasis is always on community (MAD community, if you will). For us, community is everything. We always say that you can have the best programming in the world, but if you don’t have a strong community, you don’t have much. Conversely, you can have generic programming, […]

Trainer Mike @TheMadBrave_ was our first choice when building our MADabolic Burlington team. We were first drawn to his natural athleticism, the graceful movements and the picture-perfect form that had us calling him “our Ninja”.

I try my best to be a “Locavore” by eating foods that the farms near my home grow and raise. I integrate local vegetables and meats from the farmers market into my meals that both taste delicious and provide my body with the nutrients it needs.
