When starting a fat loss journey you may initially think cardio, restricted food choices, and misery. Sounds terrible… because it is terrible. Nobody finds it exciting to spend hours on a treadmill and eat bland food every day. Hence the reason most of us have such a hard time when it comes to fat …
You’re going to fail in 2019 if you don’t keep these things in mind.
Let’s figure out how many calories you should be eating…
Are you having problems getting through a plateau? Here’s 3 solutions to get you back on track!
1. Eat in a calorie surplus: What is a calorie surplus? To gain weight your body must be consuming more calories than what it is burning over time. Just because you are drinking protein shakes everyday doesn’t mean you are automatically going to put on muscle. Scientifically, your body can’t put on any size without …
Pretty simple question right? Sure, there are a lot of foods we consume each day that may not be the “healthiest” of options for us, but just because they aren’t healthy, doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the reason we are gaining weight. Let’s break this down so that I can give you a better idea of …
Before we get started, I just want to touch on the key principle to weight loss. Regardless of whichever diet you decide to follow (iifym, paleo, keto, atkins, etc.) one thing is in common with them all that is the MAIN force that drives fat loss: a calorie deficit. A calorie deficit is when you …
Good morning all, Chaz here. It’s been awhile hasn’t it? Last summer we decided to change up our website and get away from blogging. DUMB IDEA. Turns out people like reading and learning new information, not so much just being on a new fancy website. So here we are.. back on the blog! Today’s topic …
I wrote on this subject a little over a year ago now, but since Summer will be here before we know it, I feel like we should touch on it again. After all, most of us want to look our best during this time of year! Without further ado, lets jump right into it. For those of you who don’t …

Hey you guys! Actually you girls… Claira here making a guest post on the blog. Since opening the gym, it’s surprising to me how many women are either too scared to lift weights in fear of the word “bulk,” or just don’t lift weights because they think they will “lose more fat by spending 30+ minutes on …

Starting a gym membership, kind of intimidating right? Especially if it’s your first one. You might not know exactly what you’re doing, but you know you are there to improve your way of life. THAT is what’s important. The last thing on your mind needs to be worrying about what anybody else thinks of you …

Weird to think about, right? The less you eat the more weight you should lose. It only seems to make sense scientifically and logically. I’m not gonna lie, when I discovered this I was a bit baffled too. We’ve had a few clients come to us in the last while who were already eating …
There are many different niches in the fitness industry these days. You have crossfit, aerobics, kickboxing, circuit training, weightlifting…the list could probably go on and on. But each one is unique in it’s own way and gives back a certain piece of mind that each and everyone of us are after. Whether it’s the joy of getting your …
Counting calories seems to get a bad wrap from the majority. Â “It takes way too much time, I just want to eat my food, or I don’t want to have to worry about tracking it.” Â I hear it all the time. Â People always ask me what should they be eating in order to get in …
I see it everyday.. As I walk through the gym and glance into the cardio room, I see the swarm of cardio bunnies sweating their buns off. And I wonder to myself, “Are they doing that because they enjoy it? Or are they doing it because they feel they HAVE to in order to look better?” Now, I know there a lot …
Social media has done a lot for the fitness industry in the past few years. Good and bad. It has definitely helped people find inspiration to help them reach their goals, but there’s also a huge problem with this. Not everyone out there is actually what they are all hyped up to be. A lot of the fitness “gurus” on social media only …
It comes with the territory I suppose. Almost every time I talk to a girl about training, or weight lifting, I always get the classic response, “But I don’t want to get too bulky. I LITERALLY gain like, ten pounds of muscle in ONE day.” So what do you ladies do instead? Cardio… ALL THE TIME. I …

Ok ok.. Now that it seems I might have gotten a few people’s attention with this whole Flexible Dieting thing, its probably time to give some insight on how the whole thing works. So, let’s jump into it and get you peeps on your way to bigger muscles and washboard abs. First things first, though. It’s next to impossible for the …
Being the beginning of the new year, the number one resolution that most people make is to commit themselves to a healthier lifestyle. Whether it be just trying to eat “healthy” or starting up a new gym membership. Either way, it is an awesome way to try and bring in the new year, but there are …
