Barb Wood If you had asked me six weeks ago what I would be thinking about this Body Transformation Challenge after week five, I might have told you that I probably would be hating it. But those who know me would know better. I am a competitor. This challenge has really awakened a part of me…

Suzanne Ellis–Leonard I am focusing on the young naturally athletic girl I once knew named Suzanne. Once I reach my goal, she’ll be back except this time she’ll have more worldly experiences under her belt (minus the “muffin top”) and a better insight on what life is truly all about.  I see the new and…

  By Kyle Finneron This week I asked all of the participants to think about their lives if they woke up tomorrow and had their ideal body. I wanted them to really imagine what their lives would be like, what would they be doing and how different their life would be. It sounds like a…

  By Beth Roberts This week at our weekly meeting we hit my favorite point so far. As always we talked about the nutrition plan, discussed how their workouts had gone for the week and how they were feeling about everything. I realized they were on the verge of that pivotal point that is so…

Barb Wood I. Am. Human. I have to keep telling myself this. Humans crave flavorful food. It is my addiction. So how do I manage the day-to-day? I strive to make better decisions about food and exercise. When life presents you with a buffet of options, how do you make the right choice? Someone once told me we have three options: the…

By Kyle Finneron Welcome to the gym. This may be your first time in the weight room or you may be a seasoned pro. Unfortunately, people tend to forget that the gym and the weight room are shared spaces. This being said, there are a few unspoken rules of proper gym etiquette. Let me explain:…

Barb Wood I’ve really started to hit a groove.  I am trying to work out four or five nights a week. When I can’t make it to the gym, I try to pick up the pace wherever I might be. I wear a Fitbit that tracks my steps. Today, I hit 11,000 steps just working around my…

By Beth Roberts When first meeting with a client, I ask them to define any obstacles they feel they must overcome to achieve their goals. Time is almost always in the top three. We all lead busy lives but there is always a way to work physical activity into your day. Just like brushing your…
