New Memoir ‘The Last Neighborhood: A South Philly Memoir’ Tells a Powerful Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting for Respect

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 13, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author and former professional boxer Mike Rafferty announces the release of his new memoir, “The Last Neighborhood: A South Philly Memoir” (ISBN: 978-1834189406; March 2026, by Tellwell Publishing) a deeply personal coming-of-age story set in the working-class streets of South Philadelphia.

In “The Last Neighborhood: A South Philly Memoir,” Rafferty takes readers back to Grays Ferry, where every block had its own identity and every kid learned early how to survive. Growing up as the son of a boxer, young Michael faced constant pressure to prove himself in a neighborhood filled with tough fighters and athletes.

But this is not a Hollywood boxing story. It is a raw, honest account of a skinny, uncertain boy struggling with fear, self-doubt, and expectations. Determined to earn respect from his father and peers, Michael turns to boxing as a way to stand out and build confidence.

Supported by his large family, his faith, and his community, he enters the ring as a teenager, discovering that boxing is more than a sport—it is a test of character. Along the way, he learns the true meaning of discipline, resilience, and courage.

The memoir explores whether faith can silence inner doubts, whether community can lift a young man through hardship, and whether heart matters more than strength. It is also the story of how a future police officer learned life’s toughest lessons long before wearing a badge.

“This book is about where I came from, what shaped me, and how faith and perseverance helped me become who I am today,” said Rafferty. “It’s a tribute to South Philly and the people who never stopped believing in me.”

Legacy Launch Pad Publishing Releases Book Addressing Ketogenic Bodybuilding by Robert Sikes

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Launch Pad Publishing is releasing "Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery" (ISBN: 978-1956955071), the first book by Robert Sikes.

The book is the result of Sikes' experiences as a professional bodybuilder and fitness coach, specifically his transition from carbohydrate-based training protocols to ketogenic ones, and its resultant performance benefits.

While Sikes was always interested in competitive bodybuilding, the "bro dieting" approach based on junk calories, extreme caloric deficits and carbohydrates resulted in disastrous side effects. Despite his athletic success, Sikes experienced hormone imbalances, lowered sex drive, diminished strength and disordered eating.

After discovering the ketogenic diet, Sikes' health issues cleared, his athletic performance improved and his relationships flourished. As a result of his experiences, he has become an outspoken advocate for athletes and bodybuilders following ketogenic diets, stressing that they can find great success and sustainability in the complete absence of carbohydrates.

According to Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, associate professor of molecular pharmacology and physiology at USF Morsani College of Medicine and leading ketogenic expert, Ketogenic Bodybuilding is "a beacon of light" to the fitness community. Similar praise came from Shawn Wells, a biochemist, dietitian and author of the The ENERGY Formula: Six Life Changing Ingredients to Unleash Your Limitless Potential: "Never before has there been an exhaustive and authoritative ketogenic bodybuilding guide like this."

"Ketogenic Bodybuilding is an amazing resource for athletes and bodybuilders," says publisher Anna David, "but Robert's harrowing personal stories set it apart from any other book in its category."

Without a doubt, Ketogenic Bodybuilding is the definitive guide to a new paradigm in bodybuilding and, with its piercing insights and comprehensive competition strategies, is sure to ruffle more than a few feathers.

"Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery? is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among many other outlets.

Teacher Bodybuilder Suits Up in Bikini as ‘Queen Of Swords’ for Ms. Health and Fitness Title

TULSA, Okla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Judy Stetson, widow, teacher, bodybuilder, and contestant for Ms. Health and Fitness 2020 suits up in a bikini to ride the wave of pandemic changes throughout the Fall school season. The teacher battled memories of 911 emergency calls and widespread stress syndrome from the COVID crisis that took the life of her adult former student.

A lucky lady will take home the title Ms. Health and Fitness 2020 and the cover of Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine. The public chooses the winner by votes open until October 8. Ms. Health and Fitness competition donates to the charitable organization Homes for Wounded Warriors that provides assistance to disabled veterans by building or remodeling handicap accessible homes

Millions brace for August Back to School facing uncertainty amidst a pandemic. Many parents plan to spend less on apparel and more on technology. As our nation continues to respond to COVID, September's National Preparedness Month prods: "Disasters Don't Wait. Make Your Plan Today." Plan ahead in case of further waves of COVID during flu season or if a spike in cases triggers another school lockdown. October's Family Health Month reminds parents to reinforce habits that keep children healthy.

Stetson says, "I'm the widow and sister of two deceased veterans. Emergency responders rushed to our house eight times in one year. We lived in constant crisis. I took up weightlifting, so I'd be able to lift my disabled husband four times a day."

She took home an issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers and looked at the photos and stories of strong, beautiful women.

"The thought of them as sisters and day after day in the gym getting stronger helped me emerge from a cocoon of despair," Stetson said. "I'd dry my tears, grit my teeth, 'alright girl, soldier up.' I had to get my husband fed, his meds, lifted from bed, get to the bathroom, hosed him down in the shower, bathed, shaved, a fresh diaper, and dressed daily."

Stetson explained why it is important to support Homes for Wounded Warriors during a pandemic crisis, "Wouldn't it be wonderful not to feel so isolated? You could be a part of something beautiful that transforms the day-to-day life of a loved one confined at home."

"Wouldn't it be amazing to remodel any bathroom with handicap accessible features so an invalid can bathe safely and easily?" she asked.

As a teacher, Stetson fell into what she calls "the grey area of not poor enough to qualify for assistance." There was no money to remodel their home, medical bills piling up to $110,000, and her earnings going to pay for nursing care.

"We lived in what I consider now as medical poverty. I was on a treadmill of a hot mess," said Stetson. "As I got stronger, I felt more like Wonder Woman - even when I hit myself upside the head with nunchucks. I show and tell my students to make fitness a fun adventure full of twists and turns. I'm such a newbie to social media, but even a teacher must ride the wave, learn new ways to communicate."

Stetson, a self-professed sci-fi nerd, picks up a "Star Wars" inspired lightsaber. The once-upon-a-time Miss Valentine pageant queen twirls the sword and lunges forward, "I manifest Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to appear with me inside Muscle and Fitness magazine," she sends out her dream to the Universe. "I visualize $110,000 as if by magic. Earth angels join me and shine the light for Homes for Wounded Warriors."

Stetson sweeps the sword through the air with her red, white & blue star-spangled wish. Swoosh! Public support for the first English teacher to win Ms. Health and Fitness 2020 VOTE by contestant first name.

New Fitness App Celebrates Launch with Fitness Transformation Contest: 1 Workout 4 Life

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new smartphone sports and fitness app, 1 Workout 4 Life, launched by Fitness Spark Plug, is designed to get people in shape and keep them in shape - not just for the short-term, but long-term too. This flagship program is free to download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

To celebrate its launch, 1 Workout 4 Life is running a nationwide transformation contest with a grand prize of $3,000. The deadline to enter is February 28, 2019, and no purchase is necessary (open to U.S. residents, age 18+, only).

Matthew Jay Fogle is the app's creator as well as a certified personal trainer. He says, "1 Workout 4 Life is the most sustainable gym workout on the planet."

The app is simple to follow and takes a whole-body approach to fitness. It's a complete workout that users can cycle for their entire life - not just 21 days, 30 days and so on.

"My philosophy is that people don't have to be infatuated with their workouts, as most of the fitness industry seems to promote," Fogle says. "Fitness should be implemented as a routine to help people accomplish their greater goals and life callings. Once you have that mentality, it becomes easier and more sustainable."

1 Workout 4 Life is a combination of exercise routines that uses multiple rep ranges and rest intervals, a mixture of cables, dumbbells, barbells and other modalities. It also includes compound and isolated movements for enhanced progression and targets all the major muscle groups.

People can easily customize their routines based on how many times per week they exercise. There are separate workouts for men and women, and each day's routine can be accomplished in about 45 minutes.

There are more than 40 exercises in the program, and video demonstrations are available at the touch of convenient links. Nutrition and lifestyle articles are also included in the app to give users a higher chance of success.

"1 Workout 4 Life is specifically designed to not only give users better health, but to also make them more aesthetically fit," Fogle says. "Most workout routines miss the point about proportional aesthetics. Many people who work out look like they go to the gym, but that doesn't mean they look good or healthy.

"If you care about making a splash socially or at work - creating more sales, being in command while public speaking, or doing whatever it is God has called you to do - it's important to walk into a room or onto a platform with a relaxed and charismatic stature. This program is specifically designed to do that for people."

Fogle is excited about the app's launch and its greater mission which is two-fold - to spread the love of fitness around the world and to communicate his Christian faith.

"It is God's calling for me to do this," he says.

Hedstrom Fitness launches the newest product in the Surge Toolbox – The Surge Riptide

ASHLAND, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Hedstrom Fitness is pleased to announce the launch of their newest product in the Hydro-Interia(R) Training line, the Surge(R) Riptide.

This specialized training tool utilizes water to create an unstable and unpredictable resistance, allowing the muscles to be challenged no matter what the exercise. The Riptide also provides a unique challenge to the joints and stabilizing muscles, forcing the body to resist and control the unpredictable nature of the shifting water. The advanced core training the Riptide offers allows for over 50 innovative movement patterns that stimulate top down instability the way it happens in life.

The Surge(R) Riptide is similar in many aspects to the Surge(R) Storm, launched last summer, just more compact for easier accessibility. The Riptide is 33-inches in length and can hold up to 38 lbs. of water. Two soft grip handles, one long centered handle and end cap grips allow for a wide range of exercise options.

"This product has so many functional training and core training uses, and can be used by everyone from elite athletes to beginner fitness enthusiasts," says Candice Brooks, Hedstrom Fitness Programming & Master Trainer Team Director. "Utilizing water as the weight means the product is adaptable to any user's strength and abilities. By simply adding or eliminating water you can quickly change the product from an entry-level training tool to a very intense piece of equipment."

Hedstrom Fitness will be launching the Surge(R) Riptide March 21- 24 at IHRSA 2018 in San Diego, Calif., booth #407. The Riptide will also be available to purchase at www.hedstromfitness.com.

The MostFit Core Hammer is a first of its kind, finally making sledgehammer workouts possible without the tire. The Core Hammer is designed just like a sledgehammer, but the head is round and composed of solid urethane, providing the right amount of rebound so the user can establish a rhythm that exactly mimics traditional sledgehammer swings. This means that sledgehammer workouts can now be done anywhere - in a park, gym, Crossfit box, or at home - and multiple users can workout together in small spaces with the Core Hammer, which fits in nicely with MostFit's mantra of helping the user be the "Most Fit" they can be - anywhere, any time.

The MostFit SYN Rings allow the user to suspend weight plates or kettlebells from an Olympic weightlifting bar creating instability; forcing the user to engage more core and stability muscles and increase overall strength. The rings allow the weight plates to move in all directions, including forward, back, side-to-side, up-and-down and in circular motions. Portable and easy to store, the SYN Rings can go with you anywhere, fit in a drawer or small spot on the functional training zone floor.
