❤️ to “ My little tennis superstar!! She just won sectionals and is headed to nationals!! Go Cory! 🎉💕 ”
Cory Medeiros (15) has been coming to FiT for almost a year now to supplement her tennis training and competition schedule. In that time, she has put in a ton of work to increase her strength, endurance, coordination, and power for her sport, and learn so much about her body in the process. She was already an impressive athlete before finding us here at FiT and we were able to support her game enough for her to win the Sectionals tournament and she’s now moving on to Nationals, the very same Sectionals won by the Williams sisters when they were in high school.
Cory is one of my most dedicated and curious clients, she shows up with a great attitude (almost) every session, and genuinely loves improving herself each time she steps into the gym. Big congratulations to this superstar and don’t forget us when you’re famous!

🏖️ Summer vibes are here, but your fitness journey doesn’t take a vacation! Here’s how to keep moving, no matter where you are.
🌅 Early mornings and late evenings are perfect for outdoor workouts. Beat the heat and enjoy the tranquility.
🧘♀️ Mix it up with yoga or stretching sessions on the beach or in the park. Flexibility is just as important as strength for your exercise prescription.
🌍 Traveling? Find local fitness classes or join community sports. It’s a great way to practice stress management, meet new people, and stay active.
🛶 Try something new! Kayaking, paddleboarding, or even beach volleyball can be both fun and a great workout for your self-care routine.
🚀 Remember, fitness is a journey, not a destination. Keep moving, prioritize your sleep hygiene, follow your eating strategy, stay motivated, and most importantly, have fun! 🌟🏄♂️

When it comes to choosing a protein source, there are different options that may work better for individuals depending on their unique needs. Ideally, the majority of protein intake should come from animal sources, as they provide essential amino acids necessary for bodily functions. 🥩 Meat protein is considered high-quality for containing all essential amino acids required for proper body function.
Meat protein also tends to be more easily digestible and bioavailable compared to plant-based sources of protein. This means that the body can more efficiently absorb and utilize the protein from meat. 💪
Additionally, meat is a rich source of nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which are important for overall health and well-being. 🌟 These nutrients are often found in higher concentrations in animal products compared to plant-based sources of protein.
However, it is important to note that meat protein can also come with higher levels of saturated fats and cholesterol, which can have negative effects on health if consumed in excess. It is recommended to consume a variety of protein sources, including plant-based options, to ensure a well-rounded and balanced diet. 🥗

Meet Katie 👋, FiT’s Fitness Manager and Personal Trainer!
“This September marks my 5th anniversary at FiT. What drew me to FiT was their emphasis on continued education, their holistic approach, and above all the community.
My love of health and fitness stems from the benefits and opportunities that come from feeling good and moving well. I believe that a community’s health and prosperity are interconnected with the well-being of its residents, and FiT has been serving this purpose for almost 25 years. I feel honored to be a part of that.

I am also so lucky to have such wonderful colleagues who have made this job not only enjoyable but also like a family. I am thankful to FiT for the relationships, opportunities, and memories created that have changed me both personally and professionally. There’s no place else I’d rather be!”

Want to see continuous improvement in your fitness journey? Progressive overload is key! Here are 5 reasons why it’s a game-changer...
1. Continuous Improvement 📈
•By gradually increasing the demands on your muscles, you keep challenging your body to adapt and grow. This means avoiding plateaus and consistently making progress towards your fitness goals!
2. Increased Muscle Mass 💪
•Progressive overload is essential for muscle hypertrophy. By continuously challenging your muscles, you stimulate growth, leading to increased muscle size and strength.
3. Injury Prevention 🛡️
•A gradual increase in workout intensity allows your body to adapt safely to new stresses. This strengthens not only your muscles but also your ligaments and tendons, providing better joint support and reducing the risk of injury.
4. Boosted Metabolism 🔥
•Building more muscle through progressive overload increases your resting metabolic rate. This means you burn more calories even when you’re not working out, which is beneficial for weight management and fat loss!
5. Improved Bone Density 🦴
•Weight-bearing exercises that progressively increase in intensity can help improve bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as you age.
