Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge Starts September 13th!

Want to look and feel your best?

Need to improve your diet, but you’re not sure where, or how to start?

I’ve got a plan for you!

Picture how you want to feel one month from now. How specific can you be with your goals?

For example:

  • You fit into that pair of pants that has been taunting you since last year.
  • You eat one home cooked meal with your family each week.
  • You replace your daily habit of a glass of wine with journaling, meditation, or a bath.

What is Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge?

Join our Nutrition Challenge and together you and I will craft YOUR customized plan. Over the next four weeks you will make small, incremental changes that lead to lasting results.

  • 4 week plan to improve your diet
  • 30 minute goal setting meeting with me on Zoom
  • weekly email and phone support

What it’s not:

This is not a “cleanse”. There will be no juicing (unless you really like juice). This is not a weight loss diet per se, but if you goal is to lose weight, or improve your body composition, I am here to help you.

You will bring new awareness to how you are fueling your body. You will learn to recognize your emotional eating cues, and to understand how to create new habits (spoiler alert – this has very little to do with willpower).

The cost is $55. Fit Club members, this challenge is included in your membership!

The Challenge starts September 13th. Please reach out to me this week, as I’m scheduling one on one goal setting sessions now. I’m holding a spot for you, dear friend!

Call or email me today to reserve your spot!

All I Want For Christmas Is A BOSU!

What is the most cost effective, biggest bang for your buck, piece of home gym equipment? The BOSU of course!

Looking for a gift your your special person? Get them a BOSU! I have a purple one with your name on it available today!

These retail for $140. I am offering YOU a special price of $105 – that’s a 25% discount – if you contact me by December 31st.

I often use BOSU balance trainers in personal training sessions, as well as Pilates and yoga classes. This is an excellent low-tech, and cost-effective workout tool.

What is a BOSU?

A dome shaped fitness tool that has a round side and a flat side, resembling half of a stability ball.

What can I do with my BOSU?

Standing or sitting on it is a great start! Also squats, lunges, push ups, standing yoga poses like Tree and Dancer, and Pilates core exercises like Boat, and Half Roll Back.

Why use a BOSU:

Number one reason – Improve your balance! Also strengthens your feet and ankles. Engages your core. And it’s fun!

*fine print – special price of $105 for a purple BOSU good until December 31st 2018. Pick up at Anne’s Sellwood studio. Anne has one of these in stock right now, and when it’s gone, it’s gone baby.
