Get Fit NH coaches add title of nutrition ‘Supercoach’ to already impressive resumes

Dean and Nancy Carlson earn Masters Level 2 nutrition certification

Get Fit NH has been offering award winning group fitness training at their locations in Concord
and Epsom for more than seven years. In addition to their popular group fitness training, they
also offer comprehensive nutritional counseling.

Get Fit NH Coaches Dean and Nancy Carlson recently completed Precision Nutrition’s Level 2
Master Class, a year long program which provides coaches with tools to allow them to “go
deeper” into truly understanding what motivates, drives, and empowers their clients to improve
their lives. The focus of the course was on real world nutritional challenges and solutions. The
course had both a theory component and a practice component in which coaches were given
specific real world nutritional challenges and they practiced how they would help clients deal
with them. The course encouraged participants to focus on their own growth and develop their
own unique coaching style. Coaches who successfully complete the course earn the title of
‘Supercoach.’

“Going through this course, as challenging as it was, really helped me feel more confident in my
ability to help all our clients — from all walks of life — achieve their own goals through the
power of nutrition. Given the world we live in, clients need that help and care more than ever. I
can’t begin to express how much I enjoy changing lives and truly making a difference,” Nancy
said.

With this nutritional certification, Get Fit NH offers clients a powerful one­two punch. Get Fit NH
teaches clients that the way to success is through training as well as nutrition. In combination
with their Smart Group Training certification earned this past year, which enables them to
provide a focused, personalized, safe training program for each client, the supercoaches at Get
Fit NH now have all the best tools in their arsenal to help clients eat better, exercise smarter,
and improve their health.

In 2015 Get Fit NH was voted best Boot Camp by New Hampshire Public Television; for the last 7 Years, Hippo
Press voters have honored Get Fit NH as a “Best Of” in the Best Gym category, this year being voted “Best of the
Best” gym in all of New Hampshire for the third year in a row. Also this year, Coach Nancy Carlson received “Best of
the Best” Fitness Instructor honors for the fourth time since 2010. Get Fit NH’s success is due to their continuous
drive to do what it takes to make their clients better. They offer the support of group fitness training, nutrition
coaching, and fitness and nutrition seminars at its locations in Concord and Epsom. Call 344­2651 today to make it
happen for you.

Athlete Academy Fall Semester Starts September 12, 2015

We just finished up an incredibly successful summer session at the Get Fit NH Athlete Academy, and we are gearing up for fall!

As we get back into the swing of school and fall sports we know it’s a busy time, but so many of our families have asked us for in-season training we had to respond. Our burden is to help our athletes reduce their potential for injury while maintaining their off-season gains. It is a careful balance of training and recovery that will help keep the athlete healthy and active, not run down and tired.

Our athletes are required to sign and follow the GFNH Code of Expectations. Failure to live up to these expectations can lead to dismissal from the Academy, so please read carefully and be willing to follow. Download your copy here.

The Fall Semester will start Saturday September 12, 2015 and run through Saturday December 19th. Training will be from 8:00am until 9:15am. Each athlete will have a program that is customized for their needs in addition to the Saturday training that they will do on their own. Examples would include an additional strength day, specific mobility work, or recovery training. Each athlete will have an online log as well as a private group the athlete, parents and coaches will have access to.

We are excited to get this program going. Coach Adam has done a tremendous job this summer, and we are looking forward to working with y’all all year round!

Space is limited, so please don’t delay getting in on the action.

If you have any questions please contact us here or give us a call at 344-2651. See you soon!

Supplements Part 2: Protein Bars

Just as with our protein supplements, we have been picky with the protein bars we recommend as well. For years we have only carried Dale’s Raw Protein Bars, which are a fantastic product.

For a number of reasons we decided we needed to have a “backup” source, and after searching around for quite awhile we decided to bring Quest Bars in, at least on a trial basis.

I will reiterate – eat real food, most of the time. Relying on supplements for your nutrition is not the way to your best body, but they do have their place.

As always, let us know if you have questions, we are here to serve!

What’s in Your Nutrition?

Get Fit NH has teamed up with Whole9, specialists in the field of nutrition and a respected authority in the health and fitness community, to provide our clients with a comprehensive nutritional program designed to make you the healthiest you’ve ever been. Why are we focusing so much on what you eat? Because we believe nutrition is the foundation of any good fitness program, and the gateway to optimal health. And we think your nutritional habits play such an important role in achieving your health and performance goals that we’ve asked Whole9 to design this nutrition program for our clients.

Eat Real Food.

Our belief is that a good nutritional program should be centered around eating real food. We know that fad diets, crash diets, miracle pills and “meal replacements” are not part of a balanced, sustainable path towards improved health and fitness. Instead, we encourage you to eat high quality meat, seafood and eggs, plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and healthy sources of dietary fats – it’s that simple. Just eat good food, put your meals together in a way that is simple, balanced and (most importantly) sustainable, and experience all of the tangible benefits that come from a nutritional plan designed to help you create a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food.

The Whole9 Nutrition Program

We believe implementing good nutritional habits from the very start is so important that we provide all of our clients with a comprehensive printed handbook designed to walk you through Whole9’s nutrition program. Your handbook includes all the tools you’ll need to succeed, including:

• Our nutritional “elevator pitch” – Nutrition in 60 Seconds
• A list of food groups that detract from your health and fitness, and those groups that make you healthier
• A detailed Shopping Guide, including helpful hints for making high quality food choices
• The Whole9 meal planning template, outlining portion sizes, meal frequency and pre- and post-workout nutrition
• Delicious, Whole30-approved recipes that follow our meal planning template, and a 7-day meal plan
• A multi-category FAQ to help you hit the ground running
• A number of helpful resources – additional recipe sites, references, books and movies
• The Whole30, Whole9’s original program designed to “change your life in 30 days”
• The Whole30 FAQ, to help guide you through your 30 day program

Running For A Cause: Sign Up Now for the “Running for Heroes” 5k

Hey Get Fit NH family, I want to introduce you to a new friend of mine and ask for your help to support a great cause. Alex Hoeker is a senior at Bow High School, and for his senior project he is organizing and running (no pun intended) an event he has named “Running for Heroes” 5k, with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. As you most likely know Coach Meagan and I are service veterans, and we also have family that have served or are serving; in Meagan’s case her husband is a veteran and my oldest son Tim is currently active.

In communicating with this fine young man over the past couple weeks I have been impressed that his senior project truly is secondary to his passion to support the Wounded Warrior Project. I have worked through the numbers with him and Get Fit NH is getting behind the project in a couple ways. We are not only going to be a Gold Sponsor, but I want to use our influence and more importantly the influence of you, the Get Fit Family, to get out in support. We want to help Alex get at least 100 runners for his event!

What can you do to help?

1. Spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers. Talk about it and share this post on social media.
2. Write a check to “Alex Hoeker” and in the memo “Running for Heroes”
3. Come out on Saturday August 22nd and run the race with us. This will be the first part of the “Get Fit NH EOS (End of Summer – sorry) Bash, which you will definitely want to part of.

But enough from me. I want you to read what Alex has to say about his project. Read it, be impressed and then get on board! – Coach Dean

From Alex:

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Hoeker, and I’m passionate about giving back to our nation’s service members – the few who fight to protect the freedom of this great country. Often times many of these inspiring individuals come home with wounds you can and can’t see, like a missing limb, combat stress, or depression. Because they’ve risked everything for us, I’m committed to raising awareness and funds for these wounded service members and their caregivers.

I am proud to host the Running for Heroes 5k benefiting an organization whose mission is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) has a big, audacious goal: to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history. I’m challenging myself to help WWP reach this vision, and I need your help.

Please join my effort and give what you can by registering for this event or donating towards the cause. This Running for Heroes 5k is a fantastic way to help support our veterans, and with your $30 registration fee, help can be given.

Nobody should be left behind, help me see that happen.

Please go to http://www.lightboxreg.com/running-for-heroes to register for the event and feel free to send me any questions at aphoeker@gmail.com.

Thank-you,
Alex Hoeker
