Also, starting at 9:00am will be here from doing FREE consults for PT/Rehab, so if you’ve got some nagging issues going on, get in here!

Tip #3 for Month

Look, the simple truth is no one ever got fat from eating fruits and vegetables.

Do fruits have a fairly high carbohydrate content? Some.

Do they also contain a lot of really helpful micronutrients, fiber, and water?

Yes.

Take for example our favorite diet hack:
Watermelon

Why? It contains just 140cal in 1lb !

Toss a big salad dressed with salt, pepper, and vinegar or a big bowl of watermelon into your diet and help to curb hunger and cravings!

Not coincidentally is down 8lbs in 4 weeks since starting with Nutrition Coaching!

Struggling to hit your protein goal is a very common issue, but the most helpful piece of the puzzle to overcome!

🗣TRAINING IS BETTER THAN “WORKING OUT” …..

Great, but what’s that mean?

It means that they are different things, with different purposes.

Specifically, that they exist on a spectrum of Movement from “Activity” to “Training”

There are 3 key components to help you identify what you’re doing currently:
•Planning
•Intention
•Structure

So what’s the takeaway here?

If you have a different goal than someone else, but you’re doing EXACTLY the same thing…

It’s time to evaluate if you’re actually training

Or if your training isn’t really training.

Tip #2 of

One Fat Source in your meals is enough.

You’re probably thinking “I don’t even intentionally add fats to my meals”

So here’s what we mean:
•Any food that has +60% of it’s calories coming from fats is going to be considered a “fat” source

ESPECIALLY when trying to lose weight it is going to be important to be conscious of how much fat we are getting in our diet since it can sneak in where we don’t expect it.

•Cooking methods
•Foods we don’t realize are high fat
•Mistaking fats for carbs

Here’s some examples:
-Cooking with oil and later adding cheese to a dish
-Believing peanut butter is a protein source instead of a fat source
-Thinking things like donuts, ice cream, or fast food are “bad” because they are high in “carbs” when they are actually more of a fat source and high calorie for that reason

One fat source per meal.

Start today.

When that 5:00am conditioning gets spicy and you feel your soul decide to go take a break 🥵

“I can’t hit my protein goal for the day”

Is probably the most common thing we hear when starting to change your diet habits, especially for fat loss.

This month we’ll be posting a series of tips on nutrition and how you can improve yours one step at a time.

Getting in 2 protein sources per meal is an easy way to sneak it in piece by piece and start to improve your overall intake!

For example:

Current Breakfast:
2 Eggs + Toast + Coffee
New Add-On:
1 Scoop Chocolate Whey Isolate in Coffee
+20g Protein

Current Lunch:
Chicken Breast+Rice+Veggies+Sauce
Add-On:
200g Plain Greek Yogurt
+18g Protein

Current Dinner:
Steak+Potatoes+Veggies
Add-On:
5oz Shrimp
+20g Protein

Add in a protein heavy (1:10 rule) snack in the day, and we’ve got an additional 70-90g of protein with those simple changes…. And I KNOW some of you are looking at that going

“Wow… that would double the protein I eat in a day….”

So pick on meal this week, and add another protein to it!🔥💪🏼

Confused? We know. Let us explain.

Exercise alone is a poor strategy for fat loss.

It’s like someone telling you they are going to shoot you, and you can either unload the gun or wear a bulletproof vest…

And you choose the vest.

Exercise, more specifically following a Training Program, is incredible for a number of things and improving certain fitness qualities that will have the residual effect of reducing body fat.

But mostly what should be prioritized in a training program is just that…improving things like:
•Muscle Endurance
•Maximal Strength
•Aerobic Capacity
•Balance
•Mobility

And then taking your new & improved body and leveraging those qualities outside of the gym to perform recreational activities at higher intensities and for longer, using more energy in the process, and resulting in fat loss when paired with a diet that supports that goal.

This mix up most frequently occurs with “conditioning” where you should be pacing appropriately to increase your aerobic capacity/sustained intensity, and instead usually is short, painful, HIIT training that has a small metabolic effect, but no measurable long term benefits.

Now exclusively for The Girls™️

👻 it’s what’s your favorite conspiracy theory??

When you see the HEAT workout has rowing for cals and up-downs vs. when you find out it’s for descending reps 😅

are you stressed… or strest?

it gets a bad reputation, but stress is actually the core driving factor in all of your growth in life*

*when paired with rest.

•your body and mind are told they need to grow when they encounter stress
•they only get an opportunity to do so when you give them rest

the fact of the matter is we have 2 types of stress we encounter

➕ eustress: stress we choose
➖ distress: stress that finds us

and only one bucket to fit them in.

and then only way to navigate this is to
•make a bigger bucket
•empty the bucket
with adequate amounts of true rest

if you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, you might be right.

if you need help figuring out if you should go harder

or take your foot off the gas for a bit

we can help.

start today.

there are so many benefits from training that aren’t weight loss or gaining muscle or simply aesthetic ✨

things we’ve heard:
•I don’t need to ask for help moving stuff at work anymore
•I played in the waves with my kid for 2 hours yesterday AND rode bikes home
•I don’t have to take my asthma medication anymore

and honestly, those often hold 100x more value than “I lost 2% bodyfat in a month”

what qualifies a meal or snack as “high protein”?

in our opinion? The 1:10 Rule

1g of Protein per 10cal

this makes it really easy to not be tricked by snacks that plaster the word PROTEIN on the side of them, and only have 4g per 240cal

so, especially if you have a weight loss goal, try to follow the 1:10 rule

Excited to announce that we are now able to carry all products in the gym!

one hard thing / day.

no caption necessary.
if you’re ready to change your life, we are too!

fitness should improve your quality of life.
your life shouldn’t serve to improve your fitness.

if you hit the gym for an hour a day, 96% of your life occurs outside these four walls

and yes- things like nutrition and recovery should work in sync with your training to provide you with the best result

but zoom out and stop letting the tail wag the dog by prioritizing in-gym performance over what’s really important: the overwhelming majority of your life

if you’re crushing it in the gym, but only for the sake of crushing it in the gym

and still have a lot left to desire outside the gym

this is your point of change.

it’s time for training that makes sense.

which workout this week made you make this face? 👀🫣🫣

✨ sweat is g o l d ✨

especially on wednesdays!!

rest.

you might not believe it
but
this is where the most growth happens

think about it for a second
it makes sense

in the micro:
rest let’s you recover from fatigue
which allows you to do more work

work that your body views as info

and in the macro:
rest allows your body to analyze what to do with that info, and take action
shaping you into your current fitness level

you can choose to ignore it
and go hard and fast

or you can protect your investment

and rest+recover.

stress it & rest it is the best way to get what you want.

isn’t it cool when you get what you asked for?

imagine going to buy your next car and telling them you’re looking for something more fuel efficient that can fit your whole family

and they sell you the new Corvette

you might buy it & feel cool for the next few days

but it’s not what you wanted, at all.

same thing when you go to a gym and tell them you want to lose 20lbs a

and then you find yourself doing snatches, rope climbs, and handstand pushups for time.

it’s time for training that makes sense.

🤣 which one are you??

let’s make it more fun:

tell us which one you are

then tag a friend and let them guess which one they are!

you’ll sometimes hear people talk about which “lever” to pull when they want to make a change in their business, fitness, etc.

and the way you might imagine that can tell you a log about your outcomes to this point

if you imagine a slot machine🎰
and have gotten no where… it’s because you’ve left it up to chance

if it’s heavy machinery 🤖
you may have been too rigid and set out unrealistic expectations

if you’re like us, you like lifting
and levers provide L E V E R A G E
so you can do more work

our ideal lever is twofold:
•simple
•long

what that looks like is finding in succession a list of simple changes you can make and continue consistently because over time consistent repetition will yield the highest change.

long levers
•long timeline
•big changes
•little effort

short levers
•unsustainable
•temporary changes
•massive effort

length is strength

💪🏼Congrats to for crushing his Sprint this weekend in Anaheim!

Jayson finished in just under and hour and placed 33rd/500+ in his age group!

He also happens to have been one of our most consistent members over the past year and hit this accomplishment somewhat on a whim with 0 outside training specific to the race.

We think there might be a coincidence there 🤷🏼‍♂️

Awesome job Jayson, thanks for repping .fit well!! 🔥

enter | explore | evolve | experience

where are you at in your fitness journey?
comment below!

enter: just starting out, first time you’ve put a concentrated focus into making a change in your physical health

explore: not a beginner anymore, starting to move around and try some things out to see what method(s) of exercise you vibe with

evolve: been at it for a while now and looking to refine some skills and find challenges to take it to the next level

experience: you’re fit and you’re reaping the rewards, the gym is a place you go to protect your time & energy investments but your real passions are outside and you live it well!

btw- you’re never assigned to one spot on this continuum, we should all strive to bounce around from explore to experience from time to time and never be afraid to be a beginner again!
