Happy Veterans Day from Forward!

Member spotlight: Yvonne has been a member at Forward for quite some time now, and in the last 6-8 months, her goal was to compete in the Tactical Strength Challenge. Not only did she accomplish that goal, but she also hit a PR in all 3 events.

Yvonne was unsure of her abilities to participate in TSC, but she is now feeling strong and looking forward to the next challenge.

When asked about her results, Yvonne says, "I am deadlifting more than I ever imagined (235lbs). I'm able to get through a sn**ch sprint without bruising my arms. Who'd have thought that was possible? And I'm starting to be able to do a bent arm hang. If you know me, that's a big deal."

When asked how she feels now, Yvonne said "Thanks to Coach Jen, I am able to participate in TSC, but more importantly I can easily lift and toss around my grandchildren without paying for it the next day. She knows the protocol to follow to help me reach my goals and provides quality adaptions for movements I'm unable to perform. Thank you, Coach Jen and Forward Fitness."

Congratulations, Yvonne. we look forward to seeing what you accomplish next!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT!

We are excited to talk about Kait today. Kait joined Forward about 2 years ago with a weight loss goal in mind. Annnnd she worked really stinking hard at it! Kait showed up to all her sessions and classes and killed it

Kait then became interested in the Tactical Strength Challange and again worked super hard and competed in 3. Her last one she switched to the 16kg at the last minute just to prove to herself she could it.

After TSC, her main focus shifted to becoming stronger! And again, that's what she did. She signed up for her first rookie meet, worked her buns off for weeks, and competed last Saturday, leaving with 2 new PR's and a silver metal.

We love having Kait at Forward and can't wait to see what she does next!

Don't forget!

Did your gym routine slip during the summer?

Summer can get crazy for some people with vacations, bbqs, family, and kids being home. We tend to get out of routine, and when that happens, the gym is one of the first things to go.

There is no better time than now to get back at it!

Member spotlight:

Phillip started at Forward in September 2022, and over the last year, he has gone from 207 lbs to 150 lbs. That's 57lbs! He achieved this by staying consistent with his workouts and sticking to a balanced nutrition plan. Not everything has been perfect, but he hasn't taken any shortcuts.

Pictures spaced roughly a year apart one shows someone with a flawed diet, no exercise routine, and little activity. The other picture is someone who eats a balanced diet, tracks calories, and does some form of exercise or activity multiple times a week.

This wasn’t just a short-term plan. This is what changing your lifestyle can look like.

Amazing work, Phillip!

Member review!

For some, the scale is not always a good way to show progress. We like to focus on non-scale victories as well. What are your non-scale victories this week?

For example, I am back from vacation and am making healthier food choices, which has helped with my energy!

Comment below with your victory! 👇👇👇

TODAY'S WORKOUT

This is your friendly reminder to stay consistent!

Remember, staying consistent through the summer months means you will not be feeling like you are starting over in the fall.

Here are some helpful hints to stay on track:
- Register and/or schedule your workout times in advance.
- Find an accountability partner.
- Don't feel bad for making plans around your workout times. Make it important to you.
- Answer your check-in coaches' text when they are trying to keep you on track 🤣.

Let's see what you got!

I will go first "The Princess Kettlebell"

It's now August, and the Summer Olympics are just around the corner!

Make sure to sign up!
This event is open to members and non-members.

Client Review!

We appreciate all our members.

Does your workout schedule change in the summertime?

Why or why not?

Consistency and continuing to build habits are an important part of building a healthy lifestyle. Is this something you struggle with in the summertime?

Our coaches are here to help!

Did you know we are a strength based gym?

We offer strength classes, one on one coaching, and small group training using barbells and kettlebells.

Come give us a try!

Looking for an easy summer salad??

Here is one from our 6 week challenge to try.

Would you rather??

I've done both of these, and I believe the kettlebell swing was way more difficult.

What do you think?
