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 …

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 …
