A Mountain of Youth

If you want to grow old but maintain a youthful energy, an agile, strong body and a happy and healthy mind, you need to seek out struggle; purposeful challenge. It is my opinion that rather than searching for a fountain of youth, we need to climb the mountain of youth. The passive path to health and longevity seems doomed to produce half measures at best. Drugs like Ozempic, “slimming” teas (laxatives), statins, most supplements, certain surgeries and even some uses of insulin only act as temporary or illusory band-aids , The easy path, as it seems, is laden with issues and does nothing to actually bolster the body from decay. Contrary to what you may think though, our minds and bodies respond very favourably to stress (the right kind and within reason of course) and so If you make intermittent discomfort a priority, it’s possible you can stave off chronic illness and mental strife.

-PROMOTION- Partnered Training Discount

For new clients that start any time in March 2024 each person in your pair or trio will have a discounted rate for 6 months of training!

As a precision training studio we shy away from large group classes. There are benefits to working out in groups, some people need the camaraderie in order to maintain commitment, it can be very motivating to workout with others.

We do detailed physical evaluations for every client and 100% of the time the client needs foundational programming and tailored exercises for imbalances and/or goals specific to the individual. This is relatively impossible to achieve in a group setting.

Partnered training seems to allow for the best of both worlds. We get the motivation and healthy competition from training with a partner as well as enough attention from the trainer to prepare and assist with individualized programs. Most of the time we ask clients to come with their own partner. A friend or family member to increases the chances of maintaining accountability- plus it is difficult for us to find other trainees who have the same availability as you may have. Different fitness level between the pair is usually fine. If one of you has a significant injury or a very specific goal that requires a lot of attention then we suggest training individually.

DISCOUNT RATE – 35$ per person (max 3 people) – minimum one session per week
Regular rate 40$ per person for paired training or 75$ for individual training

Discount is running through March. New clients only and the rate will remain stable for 6 months.

Functional Plant Based Nutrition

plant based eating

If you have read anything I have written on plant based eating then you know I don’t think a strict vegan diet is sustainable, not if you want to truly be at your healthiest. But there is a way to thrive and limit your impact on animal life.

The only supplements worth taking

supplementaion

In the current world of obsessive optimization its not hard to find yourself ordering loads of supplements, each one lauded as the next super ant-oxidant or life extension compound. Taking all the advice of Andrew Huberman, Rhonda Patrick and Ben Greenfield I would need to work extra hours each week to just to afford the pills…where would I find the time to add the daily sunlight, sauna, cold plunge, meditation, breath work, skin tapping, workout, meal prep, yoga, grounding and whatever else these health gurus suggest I need to make time for. Not that these sup’ pushers don’t dole out great advice on health and wellness, they do but things have really taken a turn towards what most nutrition experts call disordered eating (if you consider supplements as eating).
