  As we wrap up 2016, there is so much to celebrate… but there is also so much to look forward to!  We are hoping 2017 is the best year yet for all of you, filled with boundless happiness and wonderful health.

We will do everything we can to get you there, so if there’s something you need, please let us know.  BUT we are scheming a few things to help get you jump started in the New Year:

NEW YEAR NUTRITION CHALLENGE!

With many of us coming off of excessive holiday eating and to kick off the New Year right, we are offering a nutrition challenge unlike any we have done before! Yes there will be food rules, but this is not a “30 Day Paleo Challenge”. This is 5 weeks to a new you… but you won’t be alone!  Although sign ups will be individual, we will create teams for greater accountability.  There will be some rules, but more importantly, you will be coached on developing the mindset that will transform and ingrain these guidelines into habit and lifestyle. “Eating clean” is one of the least restrictive and most effective pathways to better health. You’ll learn how identify and eliminate processed foods that may be wreaking havoc on your body, and how to replace them with foods that will make you stronger, leaner, and overall better. Most importantly, you will be coached to adopt the mindset that will make this outlook your lifestyle, setting you up for success in the new year and beyond. This Challenge will be led by coach Brittany and will last 5 weeks. This challenge is for those who are willing and dedicated to making a change. The cost is $100 and includes the following: Kick Off Meeting Thursday January 5th at  8:30PM. InBody body composition analysis at the beginning and end of challenge, providing weight and % body fat analysis.  The value and accuracy of this, similar to a BodPod, would be $50 PER use. So the $100 would cover the analytics alone! (InBody Body composition analyzer is a tool we secured for the New Year clean eating challenge.  See the InBody analysis below for an example of the information you will get: Teams will be set up to increase accountability. Each week Teams will accrue points based on following food criteria, working out and weekly bonus challenges. There will be a can and can not eat list as this is a time to reset the body and clean out the sludge from the holidays. And instill healthy eating habits that can be pulled through all year long. This challenge is for those that are looking for fat loss, muscle gain and increased performance and just overall enhanced nutrition. Winning team gets a 45-min one on one goal setting and personalized nutrition plan. Health-supportive dietary recommendations, as well as coaching and support to keep you on track We will post more information about the challenge over the next week. Space in this challenge will be limited and sign ups are live now.  CLICK HERE to hold your spot!    

ROW, RUN, RIDE: GO THE DISTANCE!

Caught the rowing bug after the 100,000 Meter Challenge? Want something new to challenge you in 2017?  We have a great opportunity for you, and it’s for a great cause!  Our very own Nassim E., inspired by Garth C’s Million Meters and the 100K row challenge she did herself, has partnered with CrossFit Federal Hill and Geo’s Rockwell’s “Community of Strength Project” to turn meters into opportunity for these deserving kids.  If you don’t know about this program, read more HERE!

And now, The Community of Strength Project (COSP) is partnering up with Baltimore City Community College to raise money to send the COSP students to college!

You can help by joining this year-long challenge where you can chose to row, run, or ride 1,000,000 (that’s right, one million) Meters by the end of 2017.

All you need to do is create a team through this link, advertise the campaign on social media, and start rowing, running, or riding. All the money will go directly to Baltimore City Community College exclusively for the Community of Strength Project kids. In turn, we will be able to send our students to college, all expenses paid!

Spread the word; this is open to anyone wanting to set an awesome goal for themselves in 2017!
