Nutrition Challenge Results!
Our most recent nutrition challenge was a quick 30 Day Reset leading up to Thanksgiving. On paper, thirty days may not seem like a lot of time, but thirty days of dialed in nutrition can yield great results. The participants in this challenge can certainly attest to that! We are proud of everyone’s efforts, especially during a challenging time of year. As always, choosing a winner was tough and it’s not always about the most weight lost. The winner of this challenge showed improvements in all fields: lost weight & inches, improvements in the gym, and incredible consistency in quality of food and logging.
Winner: Bennett O’Donnell!
At the beginning of the challenge, Bennett declared that he would win the challenge, and proved to everyone that he is a man of his word. He remained consistent with his fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness throughout the 30 days, and did not have one sip of alcohol, which is no easy feat this time of year. All of these things combined led to a 14 pound weight loss, a decrease in body fat and inches from his waist and hips. He saw improvements in the gym as well, including a 10 pound back squat PR, a faster mile time (7:17 from 7:39), and even squeaked out eight more reps during the challenge WOD retest. Great job Bennett, we hope you continue to stay motivated and help others take control of their health, too! Be sure to stop by the front desk to claim your prize.
Nutrition in the New Year
