If you've ever started a health and fitness journey, and especially if you've been successful on a health and fitness journey, you've likely dealt with some haters. No one bats an eye if you eat McDonalds and go to the bar, but you start weighing out your food and tracking calories and people will lose their minds!
In this episode, coaches Grace & Hunter discuss their experience and strategies in dealing with haters. We hope you get some good takeaways, and know that you are on the right path! Stay strong!

Busy, working moms present unique challenges when it comes to adopting a healthy and active lifestyle. Moms are the bomb, but in that, they often put everyone else before themselves.

In this episode Coaches Hunter & Grace discuss common problems they see in working with busy moms, and some strategies for implementing a healthy lifestyle.
Trainer's Tom & Grace talk through the importance of cardiovascular training, as well as tips and tricks for implementing your cardiovascular routine.

In today's episode trainer's Tom & Hunter talk about the different types of training splits. No split is right or wrong; it's all about finding the one that works for you! Listen and learn more!

We have an extended team of independent trainers, as well as our community partners who all share in our mission to normalize fitness and to create a healthier world.
