Hi Everyone!
I wanted to take some time to share with you our plan for when our sweet baby makes its appearance in the world! We've been so grateful to have all of your support, and while I'm going to miss you so much, I will need to take some time off to recover after the birth.
The good news is - the schedule won't look much different! We've been working hard to find ways to help you stay acc...
Biggest mistakes we see our clients make after a "fun" weekend.
1. attempt to do damage control by restricting certain food groups, i.e. carbs.
2. Try to burn more calories through exercise.
3. feel guilty and allow weekend behaviour to carry into the week.
4. allow negative self-talk to take hold.
5. skip out on the grocery shop or meal prep.
It's easy to get into your feels after having too much fun o...
Losing 10lbs won't give you more body confidence.
Seeing a 6-pack won't either.
So, where does it come from? 🤷♂️

The satisfaction you get from:
. preparing your own food

Have you fallen out of shape? 😐
That's common when working full-time and raising a family. 👨👨👧👦
But here are 3 simple habits to take back control of your fitness - for good. 🔽
1. Buy food to cook at home every week.
Having high-quality, nutrient-dense food in the house is the first step to controlling your nutrition.
And it's your nutrition that will ultimately decide your shape.
Keeping your fridge ...
Chairs were a terrible innovation. 🪑
Who's idea was it anyway? ❓
⏬ Ok, let me explain... ⏬
Mechanically, we're not designed to sit.
Especially for long stretches at a time. Yes, I am talking to all you desk workers.
Here's why:
1. Sitting on your butt disengages your glutes (🍑 muscles) from absorbing the weight of your upper body.
Something must give, and it's your low back that takes on this compressive...
Here are five reasons why you should consider joining our Spring Move Challenge beginning March 21st!

Muscle - it is the engine of the body that drives all movement. And like all engines, your muscle requires routine maintenance to keep it running smoothly and worry-free.
Without it, your body gets all gunked up under the hood, and an inevitable mechanical failure awaits you, i.e. pain, weakness, injury, lack of confidence.

I'm always hesitant to share what supplements I take because I feel there is too much emphasis placed on supplements and getting "results." While supplements can be helpful for some, they are just a very tiny piece of the puzzle to reaching your goals - whatever those goals may be. In short, you do not need to t...
