B e as t B o dy F i t n e s s N i n ja s TREMAYNE DORTCH IS A GRACEFUL ATHLETE TO WATCH EVEN AS HE COMPLETES THE TOUGHEST OBSTACLES AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR HAS TO OFFER. Tremayne is calm, shirtless and collects himself mentally after each movement before attacking the next. He hangs from a pull-up bar and methodically hoists himself vertically into the air jumping the bar up rung-by-rung to climb the iconic Salmon Ladder. It’s almost as if can defy gravity. At the top, he swings and catches himself on another obstacle - The Walking Bar. His wife, Cassandra, and their young son, Uri, watch from the sidelines as he hangs, launches the bar up and travels several feet forward all while dangling 10 feet in the air. “A lot of people don’t know how to handle trials or obstacles,” he says. “But that’s why we love American Ninja Warrior, because it’s nothing but obstacles.” NINJA FITNESS LIFESTYLE Tremayne, a Cypress gym owner, professional athlete and father, has completed eight seasons on the show. He and his wife recently opened their gym called Beast Body where Tremayne trains for three hours daily and coaches alongside Cassandra, a former Ninja Warrior competitor herself. Beast Body offers group dance and boot-camp style fitness classes, but it’s also the headquarters for the bulk of Tremayne’s ninja training. Inside the belly of Beast Body, is a creative course that resembles a grown-up jungle gym. It’s complete with monkey bars, overhead ladders, a punching bag and a rock wall. “This is a lifestyle,” Treymane says. “It is a professional sport.” Tremayne is known on the show for his physique. Over the years, he earned the nickname The Muscle. At 5’9’’ and roughly 160 pounds, Tremayne’s steely abs are hard to miss - even when he’s swinging from pull-up bars. His Instagram is filled with gymnastic-like feats of strength. In one video he suspends his body horizontal to the floor while gripping a pull-up bar. In another, he completes one-legged, weighted box jumps while wearing hip bands to increase difficulty. His workout videos are often set to dramatic music or motivational speeches. It takes a well-rounded athlete to make it onto the show, Tremayne says. Tremayne’s college football background and past life as a boxer helps with that. But to be successful requires precision, focus, athleticism and a sharp mental game. “I’m a big believer that mindset is key,” Tremayne says. “If you can strengthen that, then everything else is easy.” Cassandra has her own way of explaining it. “You almost have to be - I don’t want to call it fearless - but in love with attacking a fear,” Cassandra says. 14

Tremayne hopes one day his son will carry on the family ninja warrior legacy. He hopes to keep competing until his son is old enough to qualify for American Ninja Warrior’s junior division. By that point, he’ll have competed for at least ten seasons.

Cypress Lifestyle | January 2020

DIANA FRASER ALWAYS TRIED TO EAT ORGANIC - EVEN BEFORE IT WAS COOL. More than 30 years ago she started eating and offering organic foods to her infant son to help him heal from an ear infection. It worked. After he recovered, Diana kept making fresh carrot and green juices for all three of her children in the mornings to help them start their day. So in June of 2018 when her daughter sent her a text message about opening her own organic juicery, Diana quickly fell in love. “I love talking about organic. Love talking about health,” she says. “I love sharing it with the community.” Diana’s juice franchise, Clean Juice, operates on a simple concept: organic is better. The Vintage Park juicery offers only certified organic juices, smoothies, toasts and bowls loaded with nutrient-packed foods such as quinoa and goji berries. The company believes organic produce is more nutritious and safer to eat because it’s not exposed to synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. One Clean Juice signature offering is the cold-pressed juice cleanse. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables are pressed daily and bottled in-house. Pressing the raw produce when it’s cold, helps keep the most possible nutrients in the final juice as possible. Each bottled cleanse has its own unique color and name. The Red combines pressed apples, beets, carrots and lemon juices. The Green mixes apple, cucumber, kale, mint and spinach. The cleanses can be as short as one day or five days, but are so popular Diana says it’s hard to keep them stocked.
