Paleo Challenge

Kickoff 2015 with a kickass body! Join us for our 30 Day Paleo Challenge and see the awesome effects that the paleo diet can have on your body and your life!  Nutrition is the foundation of everything you do in the gym and is the primary driver of a strong/healthy body. Over the course of our previous Paleo Challenges participants reported an improved mood, energy, better sleep quality, faster recovery, and a decrease in body fat by an average of 2-3% (with some participants losing as much as 5%)! If that’s not enough to get you motivated,  here’s a quote from a couple of our favorite paleo authors to give you some inspiration for the challenge:

“We cannot possibly put enough emphasis on this simple fact – the next 30 days will change your life. It will change the way you think about food, it will change your tastes, it will change your habits and your cravings. It could, quite possibly, change the emotional relationship you have with food, and with your body. It has the potential to change the way you eat for the rest of your life.” –Dallas & Melissa Hartwig
