In this episode of the FitTown Show we finally sit down with Coach Josh and his Manager/Coach/Assistant, Coach Chris, to hear Josh's recap of the CrossFit Games. We'll discuss his experience from start to finish and his takeaways from a physical, emotional and mental perspective. 

Most people who come to us for nutrition advice are looking to improve their diet and see long term, lasting results.

However, they often hinder themselves and their success by either being too restrictive, or following "fad" diets rather than making necessary lifestyle changes.

In this episode, we'll discuss the reasons your diet may not be working for you. We'll go over the "All or Nothing" mindset, unhealthy relationships with food, the "Weekend Free for All", and the importance of having mental and emotional support along the way. 

When our members want nutrition help at FitTown, they are not only solving a problem for themselves, but helping out the generations who will come after them. The more knowledge they have about proper nutrition, the healthier their kids, and their kids’ kids can be.

In this FitTown Show episode, Coach Tony and Coach Melissa go over 5 Simple Principles of Nutrition the whole family can follow. These are the same principles that we teach in our FitKids classes, and also use with our own kids at home.

Listen to this episode with your family and talk to each other about the principles you’d like to incorporate into your family’s life.

If you have any questions about kids’ and/or adults’ nutrition, we’d love to hear from you!

You’ll realize the two are not so different in this informative episode!

This one is for the whole family! Round up the kiddos and give it a listen.

So... What is a growth mindset?

In this episode we'll discuss the 5 Growth Mindset Mantras We Teach our FitKids (and use ourselves!)

There’s a common misconception that you need to go all out every day in order to get fitter. Oftentimes, people come into the gym with a hardcore, “No Days Off” approach.

However, leaving some in the tank rather than physically exhausting yourself every single day can actually encourage proper technique and mechanics, reduce the risk of injury, and help you see improvement in your fitness faster.

In today’s episode of the FitTown Show we’re discussing why consistency trumps intensity, and why you shouldn’t go all out every single day.

If you’ve been at FitTown for long enough, you know we’re mostly “anti-gear”. However, everything has a time and place.

So in today’s FitTown Show episode, we’re discussing all things gear. This includes when and IF you should use a lifting belt, wrist straps, chalk, grips, lifting shoes, knee sleeves and more.

In this episode we’ll define scaling and talk about why you should never feel bad about it.

Each workout has an objective and if scaling helps you achieve that objective, we encourage you to scale accordingly, and have modifications ready for you any given day.

Scaling can actually help you get the most out of your workout, so in this episode we’ll discuss all things scaling.

It’s okay to have ebbs and flows in your workouts and nutrition.  You can’t expect to be perfect year-round.

Sometimes having intermittent breaks or changes in your routine is exactly what you need to come back renewed with energy. However, many people seem to have 2 modes as it relates to their health and fitness: On-track or Off-track.  

During the summer, schedules shift. Kid's are out of school, trips are planned, your normal routine is thrown off and loses structure. In this podcast, we'll discuss how finding some sort of structure can actually bring you more freedom, and how just "doing something" is always better than nothing. 

We also discuss FitTown Remote workouts, and how you can stay on track with your goals even if you're away or in an informal setting. 

Coach Danielle is notorious for eating the same thing over… and over again.

But that’s why she’s so successful with her nutrition, and we want people to see that.

It’s not that her meals are boring, they’re just simple. She takes out the decision making and willpower and loves whipping meals together in less than 10 minutes.

As a mom of two who are 2 and under working full time, she doesn’t have the time to do extensive meal prep, so she understands a busy schedule and is able to tailor her meals toward her goals, while keeping them as simple as possible (and still delicious!)

People are often hesitant to do nutrition coaching because they think it’ll make their life more complex or their grocery bill more expensive. But that’s actually the opposite of what we do here at FitTown, and one of the reasons we love having Danielle as a nutritionist on staff.

In this episode of the FitTown Show we discuss why simplicity is the key to long term success. 

Today we’re going to discuss the evolution of someone from the moment they walk into the gym for the first time, to the point where they’re crushing their goals (and getting to create new ones!)

Sharing some of the insights we see, seeing hundreds of people go through these transformations.

If you’re looking to transform your life, we want to help regardless of whether you’re new in your journey or further along and wondering, “what’s next for me?”. 

This episode is all about that!
