I don't like Drake.

I can't understand Man Buns.

I won't stand for selfies.

People who text in between their sets piss me off.

"Sunday Fundays" annoy me.

Training Journals / Diaries perplex me.

CrossFit scares me.

Wannabe Instagram Stars depress me.

And not being proactive while working through an injury concerns me..........

Okay, so we know that we need to eat for our goals. We've covered our carbs. W've gone through the facts on fats. So what's left?

Oh right! Protein, Calories and Micronutrients!

Let's Get Started!

Lately I’ve been receiving more and more questions about the roles that certain macronutrients play when it comes to diet and nutrition from both our on floor and online clients so I figured this would be a good topic to cover and discuss for this week’s blog.

In my opinion, having a basic understanding of proper nutrition is one of the most important components that a person can have and utilize when trying to better their health and their fitness. Regardless if your goal is to build muscle, burn body fat or just become more overall healthy and fit, if you don’t take your diet seriously in the kitchen, then you’re not going to achieve significant results with your physique in the gym. Sure, you might add a little bit of muscle and lose a little bit of fat from your workouts, however once you hit a plateau (and trust me, you will hit a plateau) something has got to give. And in most cases, it’s going to be what you put in your mouth.

For the most part, I like to think of myself as a fairly decent, respectful and courteous person. Now I know that many of my clients will disagree with regards to the courteous part (especially the ones that come to my leg day classes) however as I always say - If you have a suggestion, then just simply write it on a piece of paper and drop it into my suggestion box (aka the garbage bin).

Regardless of how hard I might push my clients through their workouts or how much I might lecture them about their diets, I do it because I care and because I want them to achieve results. They are after all hiring me for a premium service and therefore I would only be devaluing this service if I offered them anything less then 100% of my time, effort and energy into helping them succeed. Therefore anyone who has ever worked with me will tell you, that regardless whether you're working with me on the floor or online, I expect you to give 100% to both your diet and your training, as I will be giving 100% of myself to you.
