Body. Active. Mobility. B.A.M. Course will be returning for 2020!

Staying healthy is a continual effort that should continue into the new year! Come join Sarah Coulombe, a Physical Therapist from Performance Health, as a guest instructor at our gym. She brings a unique body control class . Due to her background as a physical therapist and certified functional strength coach, her knowledge base is extensive to help you reach your goals! 

Do you wish you had more mobility and flexibility? Do you constantly feel stiff and immobile? Or do you feel very unsteady like you don’t have control over your own body? The purpose of this course is to increase body awareness through active mobility using body weight exercises and minimal equipment.  Learn your joint limitations and how to best promote optimal movement and health of your joints. Maintaining and improving upon joint mobility as we age can be a struggle! Let this class show you how you can intervene!

• January 22nd at 6:30 AM
• February 19th at 6:30 AM

Classes are $25 each. Sign up here!

Bonus content below about wrist's and what lack of movement can cause!

Read your labels! Sugar is sneaky and hidden in so many places you would not expect. Some sneaky places you can expect to find sugar include:

• Tomato sauce 
• Bacon
• Sausage
• Frozen vegetables done for you. Such as the mashed cauliflower and veggie bites

Also, while I am on my tangent...don't fall for the gluten free, organic cookie. A cookie is a cookie and I can guarantee the cookie marketing as the healthy cookie has twice the calories. It's a marketing tactic and it drives me bonkers!

That's all folks,

Coach Meagan

In one of my previous blogs, I talked about lessons in failure and how you can learn to benefit from it. Now I want to look on the other side of the spectrum and talk about success. A lot of times we look at our individual success very differently when it comes to health and fitness. We all have different goals and aspirations. Some of us may desire to lose weight, while others may actually want to gain weight in the form of more muscle. Others may just want to move better or without pain. Whatever your goals are, it is important to celebrate your success whenever and however it happens. 

Keep in mind your fitness journey is not a short ride, it is a long adventure. Results take time! You have to be consistent and patient to get results. It does not happen in a day or a week, it may even take months before you start seeing results. One thing I can’t stress enough is success is not purely measured by a scale! Your weight fluctuates up and down daily. If you are constantly stepping on a scale all you will do is cause yourself more stress and miss out on the bigger picture. 

Make it happen,

Coach Dylan

You know I hate making this call! Please check our family facebook page and do the live training I posted this morning!

We plan to be open tomorrow morning! 

New year, new you? 

Nope. How about new you, new habits? That has a much better ring to it. We are excited to offer the 21 day + nutrition challenge. This is the first challenge that Get Fit NH will facilitate since new ownership. Same fabulous content you are used to from The Carlson's just coached by the faces you see everyday.

​21 day + nutrition challenge focuses on removing sugar, dairy and grains from your nutrition for 21 days with a structured reintroduction process and a full week of preparation. Nutrition is not a one size fits all approach, so we have to be our own experiment to see what our body needs to thrive. We can all agree that your body needs protein, vegetables and healthy fats to thrive and sugar makes us feel terrible. You've heard all of the fads and probably tested a bunch. What works for you might not work for someone else and what works for someone else might not work for you. Your body might be sensitive to cheese or certain grains while mine might be sensitive to yogurt. These sensitivities reveal themselves through symptoms such as GI issues, inflammation, joint pain, migraines and more! We are going to find our what YOUR body needs. Just by kicking the sugar, eating whole foods ditching some potential foods that may be disrupting your system you will lose weight and you will feel better. That is the happy side effect! 

The purpose of this challenge is to hit the reset button! Rid your body of it all and reintroduce step by step to find your happy place. This challenge provides a symptoms sheet so you can record any symptoms you may be experiencing at the beginning and rescore them at the end to see the difference.

Allow me to answer the two questions that come with all challenges...

1.) What happens after the challenge?

This is a focused 21 day challenge with a reintroduction period. You will be happy with your results and you will want to keep them, but you likely won't go the rest of your life without a cookie or an ice cream cone so at the end we shall talk BALANCE! That is where the Get Fit NH accountability group will come into play! You won't be left alone and accountability will still be present.

2.)  Are these the same recipes I've seen in previous challenges?

You have probably seen many of these recipes before. You are not paying for recipes. You are paying for accountability, coaching and results! If have the material and you are doing it on your on your own then by all means- keep at it!

So, what do you get?

• A manual with plenty of recipes to feed you (and your family) for the 21 days
• A meal planning template
• Symptoms spreadsheet
• Daily check in email (For the experienced challengers: We are not coach catalyst, just a regular old-fashioned email)
• Challenge specific Facebook group
• Excellent coaching and endless support

Do you find yourself loving the hard and heavy days in training?

Do you love:

• Deadlifting?
• Squatting heavy?
• What about sprinting?
• Running?
• Jumping?
• More explosive type of training? 
• How about just new ways to lift heavy stuff?
• Do you still want to dust the competition? Or do you just like a challenge?

What if you could get it all in one class?

The Ski, Skate and Shred class received great reviews based on the type of training listed above so we have decided to keep the class going in a different form.  If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above then Hardcore hips, strength, and power is for you!   

The first class will be Saturday, January 11^th and will continue through Saturday, March 28^th

This class will consist of individualized training written for each participant, which will progress over his or her time in the class.  While this is a challenging class this format allows me to work around any pain or movement restrictions you may have in an individualized manner.  This is a class that builds on itself therefore there will be no drop-ins, however we are offering the class in 4 weeks blocks so if you find that you are unable to make 4 weeks in a row there will be opportunity to make up the class in the later weeks.

When: Saturday mornings at 7:30am from January 11^th until March 28^th.

• One exception: Due to the Autism Fitness Certification on January 18^th the gym will not be available, so instead class will be held on Wednesday, January 15^th at 6:30 am

Where: Get Fit NH Concord

Cost:

• 4 weeks: $127
• 8 weeks: $239
• 12 weeks: $297

I strongly dislike being in charge of making the decision to close or stay open when the weather looks like this. Especially coming off of a  recovery week! 

I have to do what makes sense for the safety of you and our fantastic coaching staff. It is freezing rain and snow. The weather channel actually says that driving conditions will be "nearly impossible"

I can't justify a one-hour training session even though I know how ready you guys are to get back. I will do a Facebook live video at 5 so if you are not on our family page you can join us here https://www.facebook.com/groups/getfitnhfamily/

We will make another call for the 11am class and this evening class. I will send out an email REGARDLESS for each class

As the year comes to a close and the new year approaches, I just want to reflect on 2019. It seems like forever ago I started as an intern here at GetFitNH. Though in reality it was only 8 months ago. So much has happened since then. I have met so many new people and am better for it. So I would like to take this time as I write this blog to all of you. 

First and foremost, I would like to thank Meagan for the internship opportunity over the summer. As I said before, it was very difficult for me to find a job at a gym. As people were hesitant to hire a young trainer with little experience. However, you gave me that chance to prove myself. I will be forever grateful to have gotten this job and be apart of such an amazing coaching team. 

To Adam and Erin, thank you for being patient with me as I learned the ins and outs of being a coach. I have learned so much from you and gained a lot of confidence in myself because of it. You both have always been someone I can go to when I have a question. It is always a pleasure to be able to work with you two on the coaching floor. You as well Meagan! 

Last but certainly not least, I want to thank all of you, the clients. It is because of you, I have a job that I love to do. You make coming to work fun and enjoyable. It is a pleasure to be able to coach such amazing people who are dedicated to their health and fitness goals. Thank you for everything you do for us here at GetFitNH. I look forward to seeing what the new year brings and what we can accomplish together on our fitness journeys. Merry Christmas everyone and happy holidays!
