It’s January 2, and we’re digging all that positive energy. This is when we commit to eating smarter, hitting the gym, putting health first, all that good stuff. But bad news, friends. For all this positivity, most of us will concede defeat in about three weeks. Here’s how you can stack the deck in your favor and see this resolution – insert yours here: health, fitness, weight loss, muscle gain, whatever – over the three-week hump and into something with legs for the long haul.

It’s called the Freestyle Fitness Rebelution, and it’s a 30-day fitness challenge that begins Saturday, January 7 at 9:30 am. But 30-day challenges are a dime a dozen, especially in Reno, right? The real key to making positive changes to your health comes not from what you’re doing in the gym, but how you’re supporting – or, ahem, sabotaging – those efforts with what goes in your mouth. We’ve partnered with the smarties at BFF Cafe to bring you a smart, effective and completely doable nutrition plan. You get the plan when you join the challenge, but that’s not all you get.

• Unlimited fitness classes: Hitting a heavy bag is an incredible workout that’s as good for your head as it is for you mind. We also offer classic boot camp style workouts, agility training and yoga, and our classes are offered seven days a week.
• Incentives to get to your workouts: Hit 24 classes during the 30-day challenge, and you’ve earned a free month of unlimited fitness classes as soon as the challenge wraps.
• Discounts at area restaurants so you don’t fall off the nutrition wagon: You’ll save 15% on all online orders at BFF Cafe, score a free frozen Paleo meal when you buy 12 at Ice Age Meals, and we’ve finagled a discount at Grateful Gardens too.
• A supportive community: Weekly challenger emails, a locked Facebook page for shout-outs, nutrition and/or fitness Q&As, and a group of people cheering you on every step of the way – it’s amazing what a little encouragement can do!

Our classes are designed to challenge serious beginners and serious athletes alike, simply because of the range of modifications we can offer you. New to the fitness game? No problem. Don’t be scared of that dude in the challenge poster – you can absolutely do this. Looking to change things up? Awesome, cross-training is a beautiful thing.

Find a friend and join the rebelution – you’ll both save $20 off the challenge fee of $140 and you’ll have a built-in training buddy. Sign up now by filling out our challenger form, or call the front desk at 746-3888 Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 7 pm. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Join the Rebelution and take 2017 by the horns.
