Major Fitness home gym B52-family workout
Major Fitness

Personally, one of my biggest issues with home gym options is that they can end up being pretty restrictive. Sure, they might come with a few workout options and add-ons to start, but what you buy upfront is what you get and then you’re stuck with a huge machine you might not end up using as much. It’s better to choose something tailored to your style of workouts and your routine. But even so, that may change over time as your fitness journey evolves. Enter Major Fitness, which not only offers a variety of all-in-one home gym machines but also carries a ton of extensions for that equipment, essentially adding a lot of modularity. Right now, there are two Major Fitness all-in-one home gym machine deals worth talking about, and we think you’ll find them as exciting as we do:

Major Fitness All-In-One Home Gym Power Rack F22 — from $880 $930

This multifunctional, all-in-one power rack will get you through all the basic power and mass-building workouts and beyond. You can order it with the rack alone, with a bench, barbell, or bumper plate sets, depending on how much you want available at the start. Of course, you can always add on later, including with additional attachments like shoulder, lat, and leg extensions. It’s heavy-duty and made for long-term and steady usage, which is always a plus. More importantly, the independent dual pulley system allows for multiple people to work out at once without getting in the way of each other. For this deal, be sure to use code F22DEAL to get an extra $50 off starting at $880. Valid until October 31st.

Can creatine promote muscle strength and recovery? Let’s look at the research
Creatine is a natural evidence-based supplement with plenty of worthy benefits
creatine powder supplement

Exercise causes muscle tears and acute inflammation that prompts your body to recover and repair, making those muscles stronger over time. Research shows that some supplements can lower markers of inflammation after exercise, with creatine being a top contender. There’s a buzz about creatine in the fitness world, with powerlifters and endurance athletes taking this supplement for various reasons. Let’s look at what creatine is and what the research shows.
What is creatine?

Your body naturally produces creatine in your liver, kidneys, and pancreas to use as an energy source to help your muscles contract, especially when you’re exercising. Most people get about half of their body’s supply of creatine from food, particularly protein-packed foods like red meat, seafood, and milk.

Missing eggs? Try these high-protein swaps for your meals
Finding other protein sources in your diet
Eggs of different shades of white and brown sitting in carton

The 2025 egg shortage, caused by the bird flu outbreak, has made finding eggs in grocery stores a new challenge for many Americans. The bird flu has caused egg prices to soar, but even if you're willing to pay the higher price, you're probably having the same experience I have recently had; the outbreak has made it nearly impossible to count on finding eggs on your next trip to the grocery store at any price. Sam Cutler, health coach and founder of MINDFULL, shares the potential nutritional gaps caused by suddenly removing eggs from your diet and discusses the best high-protein foods and nutrient-dense swaps to keep meals nutritious and delicious- even if you can't find eggs. Here's what she shared with us.
Nutritional benefits of eggs

"Eggs are nature's multivitamin, which provides high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like B12, helping to support your energy, mood, and cognitive function," Cutler said. With egg pricing soaring and shortages leaving grocery store shelves empty, Americans are scrambling to find new ways to replace eggs and maintain a balanced diet without this kitchen staple.

How does Arc’teryx running gear handle the Vermont cold?
I tried Arc'teryx winter running apparel
Winter run on the Stowe Recreation Path

Peak foliage covers the Green Mountains in autumn, drawing visitors from far and wide. Maroon, peach, red, and more light up the surroundings, reminiscent of a perfect watercolor painting. But that only lasts about a week. Soon after, the trees go bare, and the cold arrives, bringing ice-like air and forcing everyone inside. Then, as December blends into January, the real freeze begins, with -50 plus overnight wind chills and air so cold it almost burns.

When that happens, many bundle up and hit the slopes for a day of skiing or snowboarding. Most take a break from running until spring. I typically follow that formula. But this year, I tried something different, covering myself in an Arc’teryx cold-weather running kit to see if Vermont winter runs could be fun. Read on for my take.
