Pizza From Your Trainer....What?!

 Here at M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio, we are always teaching our clients on how your nutrition plays a big part in your weight loss/management goals.  There are a ton of different diet ideas out there from Atkins to Paleo.  So which one is right? How would the average person know what is best for them with all of the crazy diets that are out there?


For starters, we are not Licensed Nutritionists, so the information we give our clients is a based on our own education and research.  However, we have great licensed professionals that we out source to. Here at M.E.L.T. we also like to stay away from the word "diet". We are helping our clients change their lives, so to say "diet" would mean that what they were doing was short term. This is not the case,  so instead your fitness and nutrition with us is a "lifestyle".


With groups like F.L.A.G., our Fat Loss Accountability Group, nutrition is a topic that comes up a lot. Our meetings are designed so that group members have a chance to take turns and talk about how their progress is going and any challenges they might have faced.  In our last meeting we covered protein and what is the best for gaining lean muscle and how much a person should have in their diet based on their individual needs.


We encourage our clients to let themselves cheat, one small meal a week. Doing this helps fire up your metabolism and also mentally keep you on course.  Unless you are so regimented that you never get cravings and can stay on track with your nutrition, a cheat meal is a good way to keep moving towards your weight loss goals.


Rewarding is another great way to stay on track. We have a workout tracking board here at M.E.L.T. where clients put how many bootcamps/semi privates they want to get in for month. At the end of the month, we tally up the total to see if they met their goals. If they are really not attending as many as they had wanted or as many as we think they should, we coach our clients on finding ways to make time for their fitness.


So where does the pizza come in?  If a client meets their goals consistently, the trainers will take them out for a pizza dinner! We are able to gain better relationships with our clients by getting to chill with them outside of M.E.L.T.  Not to mention they get to enjoy a delicious cheat meal on us!
