Nutrition is often misunderstood and can be confusing. To be completely honest, I never really had a grasp on nutrition until I started working with a nutrition coach for the past 3.5 years. Personal trainers do not specialize in nutrition. Thus, Laurie and I have also spent the last few years investing in nutrition certifications, […]
Should I do keto? Do I need to eat a salad to lose weight? Can you send me a copy of your meal plan? Do shakes help with weight loss. Is cardio the best way to lose fat? Do I do high reps in the gym to lose weight? I’ve heard it all. There’s a […]
Nutrition is very confusing. You log in on Facebook and you see your friend is going on the Keto diet, the Detox diet, or the Grapefruit client. It can all be quite overwhelming. Do any of these diets even work? Whichever ‘diet’ you choose, be prepared to do it for the long haul. After all, […]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Celebrating 11 Years! Founded on December 18, 2008 It’s been quite the ride! It’s been quite the hustle. I’m still hustling! I have learned to embrace the journey. I started off training crazy hours every week, typically working split shifts. Working early mornings and late evenings used to be the norm. In my […]

Can you send me a copy of your meal plan? I get asked quite often from friends and family. They’ve seen my transformation of gaining 48 pounds, and then losing 60 pounds. People are naturally curious what I’m eating. Yes, I’m not proud to admit that I’m a personal trainer who was once 218 pounds…However, […]
“I’m too old for this! What if I get knocked out? I have to go to work the next day”. These were the first thoughts that entered my head once the bell went off for my first kickboxing match after a 21 year hiatus. Training in martial arts has been off and on over the […]
We’ve had several inquiries about our next challenge. I wasn’t planning on offering one. I have a love/hate relationship with challenges. However, I gave it some consideration and have decided to offer a Spring 6 Week Challenge in April. We’ve been offering challenges for the last 8 years out of the 10+ years we’ve been […]
