2017 Whole90: Less than 1 Week Left!

By: 0

What's stopping you from reaching your health goals this year?
Is it not knowing what to do? Is it needing a kick in the butt? Is it needing social support to keep you motivated?
Whatever it is, we can help. We can make this year different from all the other years if you just do one simple thing. Take action.
Our Whole90 nutrition challenge has transformed so many people over the past few years and it can help transform you too.
There are only 6 days left to get 50% off our normal nutrition coaching prices by signing up for the 2017 Whole90 nutrition challenge! We won't be doing this again until January 2018. So if you're interested in getting healthy this year this is definitely the time to sign up.
What is the CFSB Whole90 Nutrition Challenge?
  • It’s CrossFit South Bend’s yearly gym nutrition program where we challenge you to eat real whole food for 90 days. We only do this ONCE a year and it’s over 50% off our normal one-on-one nutrition coaching prices.
Why should I do the CFSB Whole90 Nutrition Challenge? 
Have you ever thought to yourself "I know what I should be eating, but I just can't bring myself to do it?" We can help. We can make it so that this year you finally achieve your health, fitness, and weight goals by eating healthy. How?
  • Guidance: We'll teach you exactly what you need to eat to be healthy
  • Support: No one has infinite willpower. We'll keep you on track even when there's temptation.
  • Accountability: We'll hold you accountable to your goals with weekly food journals.
How much weight can I expect to lose if my goal is weight loss? 
  • We think a healthy, sustainable amount of weight to lose is 8-12lbs a month, so you could lose up to 24-36lbs over the entire course of the Whole90 (assuming that you have that much weight to lose). Remember, the goal is not to lose as much weight as possible. It’s 1) to be healthy and 2) keep the weight off long-term.
What if I don't have any weight to lose and I want to build size and strength instead? 
  • We have a specific program called the Swole90 that teaches you how to gain healthy size and muscle with a foundation of real whole food instead of a bunch of junk food that will make you fat, sick, and tired.
Why 90 days? 
  • We want you to make healthy eating a life-long habit, and science has pretty conclusively shown that it takes 67 days (at a minimum) to establish a new habit. This is not meant to be a fad diet, detox, cleanse, etc.
Can I just sign up for one-month of the challenge?
  • No, mainly for the reasons stated directly above. We want to you to make healthy eating a habit and it requires more than 30 days to do that.
When will the challenge take place?
  • Sunday January 15th 2017 to Saturday April 15th 2017
Can friends and family who are not CrossFit South Bend members participate in the 90-day nutrition challenge?
  • Yes! You can send this webpage directly to your friends and family. This page includes a link, located just below, for people who are not CrossFit South Bend members to sign up.
Can I purchase the Whole90 Nutrition challenge for a friend or family member as a gift for the holidays?

2017 Whole90: Only 12 Days Left to Sign up!

By: 0

There are only 12 days left to sign up for our Whole90 nutrition challenge! It's our once-a-year nutrition to help you get healthy, lose weight, and stay healthy for life. We only do this once a year and it's over 50% off our normal one-on-one nutrition coaching prices. Want all the details as well as a link to sign up? Click here: http://crossfitsouthbend.com/2017-cfsb-90-day-nutrition-challenge/ Still need more convincing that this program can help you achieve your health goals in 2017? Check out Courtney's testimonial about her experience with the 2016 Whole90 In this testimonial video Courtney talks about her experience with our 90 day nutrition coaching program. Courtney managed to  do great with the Whole90 while running her own business with her partner, searching for a new home with her husband, and working with an extremely small kitchen. In addition to her nutrition she focused on her stress, and that helped her see more success. Her training improved. Her mental clarity improved in the morning and while doing her work throughout the day. One of my favorite quotes from Courtney from the interview was “You don’t realize how bad you feel until you start to feel good.” That’s really one of the most amazing realizations from doing a nutrition challenge. Congrats on all your success Courtney! We wish you all the best in the future.

Nikki’s Story-Eating Healthy while Flying Most Weeks for Work

By: 0

Our 2017 Whole90 stars in a little over two weeks. So, we wanted to revisit one of our great Whole90 success stories from the past year to show you how you can achieve your health and weight loss goals in 2017 even if you travel every week for work like Nikki. In this video Nikki tells us about her journey of losing 23lbs, 1.5 inches off her waist, and 3 inches off her hips. Nikki’s situation was unique for a couple of reasons. First, in addition to having a family to take care of, Nikki basically has to fly most weeks for work, which initially seems like it would make good food choices much harder. However, Nikki explains in the video how she just had to make a few not-so-hard changes to her way of doing things like going to Whole Foods rather than a fast food place when she’s in another town. Second, Nikki lost a little weight during month 1 when we gradually transitioned her to real food. But she really did amazingly well in month 2 when we did the Whole30, and at that point she lost 20lbs in the space of a month. Sometimes the Whole30 is really the catalyst that makes the difference for people in terms of weight loss. Nikki, you did an awesome job with everything, and we’re all so proud of you! Keep up the great work! If you're interested in getting all the details for the Whole90, including links to sign up, click here: http://crossfitsouthbend.com/2017-cfsb-90-day-nutrition-challenge/

Why CrossFit Kids?

By: 0

[cs_content][cs_section parallax="false" style="margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;"][cs_row inner_container="true" marginless_columns="false" style="margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;"][cs_column fade="false" fade_animation="in" fade_animation_offset="45px" fade_duration="750" type="1/1" style="padding: 0px;"][cs_text]Why get your kids involved in our CrossFit Kids Program? There are many reasons to get your kids involved in a Strength and Conditioning program. Our training program can be a great base for kids to carry them into other sports as well as developing discipline in life and lessons in staying fit and healthy throughout their lives. There are three main areas kids gain from training at a young age. Physical Benefits Training is great for kids because of the wide variety of disciplines it involves, from weightlifting to calisthenics to gymnastics. Kids brains are like little sponges, itching to make neurological connections and adaptations. These connections in the brain are made in response to stimuli. The more kids can be exposed to when they are young, the more connections and capacities they develop and retain for the rest of their lives. Think of friends you have who did not play sports growing up, unless they have consciously worked at it as an adult, they are probably still somewhat uncoordinated. On the other hand, people you know who trained regularly in athletics growing up have a capacity to take on new things still as adults and display efficient and effective movement with their bodies. Emotional Benefits Our program is similar to sports and martial arts in how it can develop children on an emotional level. In our program we will work with kids on sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, listening skills, self-discipline and manners. These are all skills, though not physical, that will help kids become successful later in life. In addition, You’ll see a noticeable difference in the confidence level of children who have been doing Strength and Conditioning programs. As their bodies get fitter and their abilities expand, children generally become more physically active and less self-conscious in other athletic situations. You’ll also see children lose considerable amounts of weight, resulting in a major change in body image and a big boost in self-esteem. This is especially important and beneficial in the pre-teen years. Fitness as a Lifestyle One of the main reasons we wanted to start working with children is because we feel it is important to instill the value of fitness at an early age. It is also important to make sure kids find fitness fun – if children grow up associating working out with being something enjoyable and clearly seeing the benefits to their bodies and health, then they are more likely to keep fitness as a priority throughout their lives. Eating healthy becomes a natural and normal choice and being active becomes something they just do. Enrolling kids in an all-encompassing program like ours also shows children health and fitness is something their parents prioritize and want to educate them about. The benefits of our program can be long lasting for children, both physically and mentally, and it is a great activity for children to get into at any age. At CrossFit South Bend, we coach kids from ages 5 to 17. At the younger ages, Our program develops their bodies across a broad range of skills. By exposing them to a variety of stimuli therefore their bodies adapt and grow both physically and neurologically. As teenagers, training is a fun and efficient way for young athletes to develop the strength and conditioning base they need to excel in their sport of choice. A really cool thing about getting your kids into training, is when a whole family ends up working out together.  So maybe when you bring your children to check out our kids and teens program, you might check one out yourself, too. Sharing a love for fitness can be not only a time for your family to bond, but also ensures you more happy healthy years together. Want to learn more about our Kids/Teens CrossFit Camp?
