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 …
Hello blog world! Claira here, with a Part II to my previous “Women + Weight Lifting.” I hope after my last blog on women lifting weights, that I changed some of you women’s minds, or at least opened them up a bit, about whether or not to pick up the heavy stuff in the gym. If so, GREAT! If …
I’ve had an amazing 2016, food wise, that is.  I’ve indulged in a lot of donuts, ordered Pizza Hut at least once a week, and threw tracking my macros pretty much out the window. That MFP crap starts to get old after doing it everyday for way too long. Sometimes we need a break. I wanted to be able …
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 …

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 …
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 …
