    May 6 2024
    Season 5 of the Be More Today Show continues with Certified Fitness Trainer and founder of Chainless Fitness Marquis Ellison. “I have Crohn's disease, it doesn't have me” is a motto he adapted after being diagnosed with Crohn's in 2009. Fitness, nutrition, mindset and faith have helped him live with and manage Crohn's and now he gets to help others transform their lives. What he loves the most about coaching is seeing his clients transformations and checking back into life. It's more than working out, it takes new habits, commitment and a lifestyle change for true transformation and he’s honored to serve at such a high level. Check out the episode and learn how living with a chronic condition has enabled him to be empathetic and help those battling chronic conditions navigate the ups and downs of living with their conditions while still making health and wellness a priority.

    BMT EP 142: NYC Run Club Series featuring BedStuy Flyers
    Mar 11 2024
    Join the conversation as Dr. Sean Thomas continues a year long series featuring the amazing groups who make up the NYC running club culture. This week's featured Club is Bedstuy Flyers. BedStuy Flyers was created as a way for people of various backgrounds and abilities to share space, work hard, have fun and always uplift each other along the way. They believe that running should be accessible, safe and equitable, in Bedford-Stuyvesant and beyond. They have members at all levels, from those who walk the track to multi-marathon finishers. You can join them for free group runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Coaches Tara Mardigan, a nutritionist and certified RRCA coach, also known as the plate coach, founded BedStuy Flyers in March 2017 to create an open and informal track workout in Bedford-Stuyvesant. After a job loss in 2016, she wanted to keep to a routine and would head to the track at Boys and Girls High School in Bed-Stuy on a weekly basis. She was inspired by the speed workouts she had done with Nike Run Clubs, in both Boston and NYC. A member of the November Project free fitness movement since 2012, she knew that accountability and community-building were a recipe for success and started inviting friends to her Track Tuesdays. Nick Collins is a certified RRCA coach. He is also co-president of our sister club, Crown Heights Running Club, a proud NYC marathoner, and participant in the broader NYC running community. Nick joined Bedstuy Flyers at its inception, energized by a supportive community showing up year-round and giving their best. These days his favorite Friday night activity is eating pizza with the team to plan upcoming workouts, and his favorite moment on the track is darting across to the 200m mark to time those rests!
