More than forty of you brave souls joined Freestyle Fitness’ first fitness challenge of the year – what an awesome start to 2015! Resolve to Evolve is an eight-week challenge that combines cardio and resistance training with a solid nutrition plan and lots of helping hands along the way. We met with the majority of our challengers this past Saturday for an orientation, fitness assessment and nutrition seminar with wellness smarty-pants Gina Gilbert-Green. Girl knows her nutrition, am I right?
A few of our new members jumped into kickboxing before orientation and we’ve seen almost everyone in class since then. And it’s only Tuesday! From six am all the way up to 6:30 pm, our classes were packed full of veterans and new challengers ready to work. And work they did. High kicks in cardio, muscle burn in Total Body and interval training at its finest in Fighters – you guys were rocking it! Big kudos to everyone for making it through their first taste of Freestyle!
We’ve heard from many of our challengers on our locked Facebook page and the response is overwhelmingly positive. Laying out realistic goals, asking nutrition questions that our girl Gina is quick to answer (like the proper way to fuel pre and post-workout; recommendations for quality protein powder; portion sizes and many, many more), thanking instructors for the serious butt-kicking – the interaction goes on and on. It’s a forum for communication between everyone involved in this challenge, and we’re psyched that it’s already being used for that purpose.
So what’s the general consensus at the beginning of week one? Let’s hear it from our challengers:
“Love the challenge! Everyone is so friendly and nice and very helpful. So much more real then a few other classes I’ve been in. Gina is super great… I love that she gets back to me asap and I don’t have to wait for days for a response. Being there makes me want to follow through with a dream of being in the nutritional/training field, just because of how genuine and real everyone is. Thank you for getting me to finally break my chains from where I was going and giving you guys a try!”
“I am actually LOVING the private page. It’s so motivational and fun! I like knowing that I can ask questions at any time and get feedback from all of you! And having the instructors and Gina so active on there is awesome. Makes it feel like you guys really care! (I of course know you do, but that page makes it easier to show that to everyone). I think this challenge and all of the support and information available is going to be so effective and transformative. I’m excited!!!”
