Coaches Zach & Eric - Seaside Crossfit, Athlete's Strength and Conditioning
Fitness is their passion, playing hockey, lacrosse, baseball, football, and track and field, since early teens. Through practice and education, a true love for athletic training, and strength and conditioning ensued.
"IceeNOW is awesome in the sense that is readily available and so easy to use. We have the IceeNOW ice wraps on hand at Seaside and ready to use when needed" explains Zach. After icing, they introduce movement and heat back to the area, in order to see proper recovery.

Bertha Vazquez, Triathlete, Mom, National AG Champion 2018 & 2019
Bertha started running late in life some 14 years ago and got into triathlons 5 years ago. Her biggest sports accomplishment to date is taking 2nd place at the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Championship in Australia.
What is her secret? Bertha starts each day with a healthy breakfast and then off for a run through her neighborhood or cycling with her team. Pre-pandemic she would end her day swimming at a near by pool. She uses IceeNOW after every training and gets weekly massages to help rest her muscles. In the past she has suffered from leg and knee injuries so now she makes sure to properly stretch before and after training. She believes that healthy eating and staying hydrated will also prevent injuries.

Neely Gracey's workout and recovery routine post-baby!
To build back some power in her stride after pregnancy, Neely has been doing a lot more speed focused workouts and loves a good hill repeat workout.
To prevent injury Neely has a 7 step routine: 1. dynamic/activation; 2. warm-up; 3. strides; 4. drills; 5. race/workout; 6. cool down; 7. recovery stretch/strength.
Post baby, Neely says her shins have become a problem spot. If she feels some tightness, she uses the R8 from Roll Recovery followed by IceeNow. She finds the IceeNow works great on her feet and lower legs.
