Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Years. Office parties. You name it, there’s a demand on your time during the holiday season. We all have a number of places to be and a number of people to spend time with that we most likely haven’t seen in some time. This, undoubtedly, calls for a celebration and that means…
I’m sure you all have that friend that has been trying to get you to eat the way they do for some time now. They’re either vegan or Paleo and will swear by it to the ends of the Earth. The conversations about it generally come up when you’re doing one of two things: you all…
We sometimes get some push back from prospective clients on why the cost of our program is what it is. We charge $150/month for unlimited access to our facility, as well as access to 30 sessions of semi-personal instruction per month. These are our one-hour sessions that are led by a Level 1 or 2…

I have to say though, with so many people who…
Oh the age old question of what losing weight really entails. Eat frequently. Don’t eat at all. Don’t eat after 7 pm. Don’t eat red meat. Don’t eat fat. The list goes on and on and the reason for that is because some version of some kind of diet has worked for someone we know….
There have often been times when I will notice someone struggling with something that they’re trying to change or get better at.
