MINT Nutrition Launched This Month: Crush Your 2019 Goals

Like Share Widget

November 17, 2019 by mint-sk

Nutrition is an important component of fitness and crafting your healthy lifestyle, and it’s never too late to start making positive changes. A proper nutrition plan can impact your mood, motivation and performance, so it’s important to think about what foods you’re using to fuel your day-to-day life and workouts.

MINT Nutrition can help you meet your goals in the gym and in the kitchen.

Mint-Nutrition-Washington-DCDeciding what fuel your body needs can be complicated and even intimidating, which is why our certified MINT Nutrition Coaches are here to guide you through the process and create the best habits that compliment your body, goals and lifestyle.

All MINT Nutrition programs are backed by science and implemented by certified MINT Nutrition Coaches. Each session is as unique as you are and is tailored to your specific goals. Starting this week, there are two MINT Nutrition programs to choose from:

  1. In a Breakthrough Session, you’ll sit down with a MINT Nutrition Coach who will walk you through a nutrition program tailored to YOU. They’ll help you craft your nutrition plan and next steps for incorporating nutrition into your fitness plan. If you’re a personal training client, your Breakthrough Session is already included.
  2. If you’re ready to take the plunge, try a 21-Day Journey. This is a one-stop-shop for advice, personalized tracking, and planning. Each journey includes three sessions, and at your initial meeting, you’ll choose a specific focus. From “Ingredients for Success: Plan of Action,” to “Transformational Program: 21-day Detox” and “Transformational Program: Keto Focus,” there’s an option for everyone. If you’d like to focus on another nutrition goal entirely, that’s fine too! MINT Nutrition Coaches can tailor your 21-Day Journey however you’d like. You’ll find all your options here.

Ready to take the first step towards a personalized nutrition plan? Book your session with a MINT Nutrition Coach here.

Current and new personal training clients will receive 2 personal training sessions on us when signing up for a 21-Day Journey before 12/31/19!

October 23, 2019 by mint-sk

Roberta and Doug AbelOur October members of the month are the dynamic duo, Roberta and Doug Abel! Roberta and Doug both enjoy taking our Senior TRX classes with Master Trainer James Parker-Ashely and instructor Myke Nicholson. Both Roberta and Doug are dedicated members and have attended the Senior TRX class on a regular basis for the past several years. In doing so they have noticed a big improvement in their strength and balance.
In addition to religiously taking the Senior TRX classes, Roberta enjoys MINT’s yoga classes for added flexibility and mindfulness and her one-on-one personal training sessions with James. During their sessions, he always makes sure to encourage her to go just that much further in their workouts, which she loves!
James and Myke are top notch trainers and we’re glad MINT offers the senior classes.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Like Share Widget

October 13, 2019 by mint-sk

About a year ago I was feeling uninspired by my workouts. I was gaining weight and losing energy. As a life-long exerciser and with 25 years of experience in the fitness biz, I knew these were signs for potentially developing some poor habits.

While expressing my frustrations with Enrique, a long-time MINT staffer, and our fitness-boxing trainer, and he suggested that I try boxing. It’s a sport that always intrigued me, but frankly had always intimidated me. I used to think to myself “how difficult is it to throw some punches? I’m not looking for a fight.”. But I was wrong.

Switching up your routine is essential for staying motivated and is true for both life and fitness.; In fact,  it is both a personal and business mantra of mine to try new things, especially if they push me out of my comfort zone. So, I jumped into boxing and was quickly hooked! The workouts are intense, focused, very progressive (building upon what you learn during each session) and diverse (about 30-40% boxing, and the rest agility and explosive work, plus an overall great cardio workout), and, of course, fun.

14 months later I can share with confidence that I’ve never experienced such a full-body effect, and after losing about 10 pounds I was motivated to make dietary changes as well.  Having lost 23 pounds and over 4% body fat, I can tell that my hips are more open, I move easier, I am more relaxed, and feel better than I have in years.  This experience has inspired me to try another sport that I have always been drawn to, surfing (more on that later, man does surfing have a steep learning curve, but I’m sticking to it!).

Patrick John jumping with EnriqueBottom line is that stepping out of my comfort zone has really opened my eyes and expanded my horizons, beyond just fitness related. So, Enrique, take this as an extra thanks.

If you are interested in getting out of your comfort zone and want to give fitness-boxing with Enrique a try please don’t hesitate to send me an email and I’ll give the first 5 people a free session.

Whatever you do, keep mixing it up!
