At Iron Legion, we talk a lot about the physical component of fitness. You can’t achieve full peak fitness without prioritizing your overall health and wellness and that starts by focusing on food and nutrition. It’s no secret that wellness begins with what you put into your body, but not everyone knows what proper, balanced nutrition is or how to incorporate it into their daily lives. When someone understands how to properly jumpstart their body to achieve the desired physical and mental results, we can use that fuel to forge better humans. Check out our Brick & Iron Cafe located directly next to the Forge for acai bowls, smoothies, coffee, supplements, and more.
We understand that you can’t produce results if you’re running on an empty tank. So how do you know how and when and what to eat? We can work with you to create a tailor-made diet plan that complements your fitness regimen so you can achieve your goals. Have a body fat percentage goal you want to meet? Want to smash your clean-and-jerk personal record? Want to sculpt your obliques or run longer distances? It all starts with what you eat.
No matter what fitness journey you are interested in – CrossFit, tactical, pre-natal, weightlifting — our programs all have one thing in common: they focus on clean, intentional nutrition to reach optimal peak performance. Our nutrition plans are completely customizable and our certified nutritionists evaluate all parts of your body and mind when creating plans for our members. We want you to succeed and we are committed to you every step of the way.
Nutrition. It’s a word used so often and yet so many struggle to understand. I have always had a passion for knowing how what I eat will affect me physically but learned over the years the direct affect it can have mentally and emotionally. And not just because of what you are consuming but the psychology behind how and what to eat. There is soooo much info on nutrition and what to eat, what not to eat, how much, it’s never ending.
The number one thing I try to teach people when I talk about nutrition is it should be sustainable and sustainability requires both plus and minus. Which means you can have the piece of cake and get fit too. It’s all about balancing your food quantity and quality in the right amounts. I live by the 80/20 rule. Following the simple saying: eat real foods, not to much, mostly plants. But enjoy the cookie with your toddler, have the beer when celebrating with your friend, and definitely get seconds at thanksgiving.
Having a healthy relationship with food by enjoying the guilty pleasures in life occasionally, and paying attention to your servings and number of veggies the rest of the time is what makes your nutrition a lifestyle and not a diet. And it works.
“Decide on your “WHY”. This should be one that is very strong and very specific. This can help keep your focus on you and what is a manageable, achievable and a healthy goal. Reminding yourself of your why and accepting YOUR journey as the right one, can help to stay on track and keep moving in a forward direction.”
Iron Legion offers an array of plans based on fitness and experience levels. We would love to create a custom nutrition plan for you today.
At Iron Legion, you aren’t just one of many. We forge fierce and disciplined fighters. We work with every individual to help them reach their potential and leave the forge better than when they come to us. Our programs are tailored to the individual to optimize the mind, strengthen the immune system, and build a stronger body.
“As humans, we are creatures of habit, we like what makes us comfortable, and we want instant gratification. These three things are part of the psychology of change. And all three need to be considered when you are looking to make changes to the way you eat permanently. ”
Want to look good and feel good? Reach out to us today. We’ll be waiting.
