This page we dedicate to you, our members. Here we will share information on training, nutrition and anything else we think will be helpful for you. Check back from time to time as we will be hearing from our coaches how you are progressing as a group and individually!
It's no secret that we endorse Advocare Nutritional Products at the gym. Everyone buys an energy or electrolyte drink, a protein shake or bar, etc. We recommend AdvoCare because we believe they are the best money can buy. If you have not tried SPARK® yet, ask Joyce or Alex for a sample...your going to be amazed!

We have many discussions on nutrition at the gym and we find that most people know what they "should" be eating, it's really a matter of tweaking a few things. The fact is nutrition or how we "fuel" the body is the most important step in healthy living and we have to have a plan. Let 's start with facts that most of you already know...
- breakfast is the most important meal of the day
- eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks is recommended
- limiting breads, pasta's, sugar and white stuff is helpful in weight management
- combine protein, carbohydrates & fats into every meal & snack
- fruits & vegetables are healthy carbohydrates
- we need fats...the good ones like olive oil, nuts and avocado's
Stay consistent, stay active and remember; nutrition takes planning!
See you at the gym,
