Wades Army Wrap Up

By: 0

Thank you to everyone who had a hand in contributing to our Wade’s Army fundraising efforts. Whether you made a donation, shared a post, liked a picture, told others about it or participated in our Chipotle Fundraiser, it all made a huge difference. Now that the dust has settled and we have some concrete numbers, once again some pretty amazing things happened. In total we were able to raised $6,108 through our gym page + $306.65 from our Chipotle Fundraiser for a total of $6,414.65!!! Absolutely crushing our goal of $5,000. Since 2013 we have raised a total of $19,403.65! Wade’s Army was also able to crush their goal of $125,000, coming in at $150,238. We accounted for 4.3% of that!

Thank you again for making this year so special ​and for being such an awesome community! Please continue to spread awareness for Wade’s Army and neuroblastoma all year long!

Whole90 Success Story-Lauren lost 17lbs while driving 500 miles a week for work!

By: 0

In this video Lauren tells us about her journey during the 2016 CrossFit South Bend 90-day nutrition coaching program. Over the course of 90 days here’s what happened

-Lauren lost 17lbs, a healthy, sustainable amount of weight to lose.

-She lost an inch off her waist, and 3.5 inches off her hips.

-She also did all of this while being a vegetarian and someone who drives at least 500 miles a week for work.

-She reduced her cravings, increased her energy, improved her mood, and cleared up her skin.

Lauren did an awesome job with our 90 day nutrition coaching program, and she’s living proof that driving a lot for work is not an excuse for not eating healthy.

Congrats Lauren on all your amazing success!!

The 2017 Whole90 Nutrition Challenge-Angie’s Story

By: 0

“Eat less, workout more.”

We hear it all the time. It’s the simple key to weight loss and health. Or is it?

Angie had been told multiple times by her doctor and others to eat less and workout more, and she ended up GAINING 12lbs over the course of a year weight with that approach.

When she came to see us we suggested she eat MORE real whole food not less.

Over the course of three months of eating more food, but quality real whole food, she lost 13lbs, 2.5 inches off her waist, and 2.25 inches off her hips. Even more importantly, her hair and nails started growing again, her cravings for bad food are gone, and her digestion is a lot better.

There are so many people out there who are told “just eat less, and workout more”. But that’s not always the right answer, and the truth is a lot more nuanced than that.

We actually find that most people achieve their health and weight loss goals faster by eating MORE real whole food, and exercising LESS but more intelligently with high intensity interval training and strength work.

Want to experience your own transformation by eating real whole food?

Our 2017 Whole90 starts January 15th 2017, and you can get a discount on it if you sign up before Christmas.

You can get all the details about the challenge, and you can sign up for the challenge, here:

The 2017 CFSB 90-Day Nutrition Challenge!

Our 2017 Whole90 Nutrition Challenge is over 50% off our normal one-on-one nutrition coaching prices, and it won’t happen again until 2018. Come join us for what is sure to be our biggest and best Whole90 ever.
