Don’t miss our Nutrition Clinic from 9am-12pm on Saturday! We will follow it up with an optional, little bodyweight workout at Noon!
The first half will discuss health implications of the SAD (Standard American Diet) and how to overcome them. Participants will come away with simple guidelines and strategies for achieving optimal bodyweight, lowering heart disease risk, improving blood sugar control, sharper focus, and moving towards outstanding general health and wellbeing.
Â
The second segment will discuss how to move beyond wellness and into the realm of superior fitness and performance. Participants will gain a general understanding of the role nutrition plays in each of the metabolic/energy pathways and how tailor their eating strategies based on their training volume, intensity, and specific goals.

Damn PJ’s such a quite guy you’d never know how badass he is. Glad I got to throwdown in a few workouts with him while he was in town.

Yeah no joke. He’s about the most unassuming person I’ve ever met. I think he beat me in almost every workout we participated in!
