March 23, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Being prepared is half the battle and 90% of the key to success. Wether you’re trying to improve your health, your performance in a particular sport or lose weight, meal prep can make your life so much easier.

One secret to success in body transformation (weight loss, improved health and/or performance goals) is keeping it simple. Thinking less. Making fewer decisions. And letting your environment do much of the work for you.

If healthy food is around you and convenient, you’re more likely to eat it. If you have a trusted system for making healthy food available, you don’t have to decide to eat well… you just show up and do it. Our meal prep strategies will help you keep it simple, healthy and delicious!

3 Best Protein Cookies

March 23, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Protein cookies seem to be the new thing. Everywhere I go, everywhere I look in the grocery store or convenient store there seems to be a protein cookie staring back at me. I love the concept and I love the fact that food manufacturers are making an effort to produce something better than the regular old sugar laden cookie. I know what you’re thinking… Yes, a lot of the “protein cookies” out there are still junk but some of them aren’t so bad (in taste or ingredients).

I was curious about these new cookies and I’ll try anything once. So, I made it my job to taste test some of the most common protein cookies out there. I’ve tasted at least 10 from grass-fed whey to vegan protein cookies. It’s a hard job but someone’s got to do it! Ok but seriously, I wanted to see what all of the fuss is about. I picked three of my favorite protein cookies from the bunch to share with you.

The first few weeks you saw results and you were so motivated, right? And then the results started tapering off even though you were dedicated and sticking to your plan.

Mmmmm…anything fajita inspired makes my stomach say yes, please! I love fajitas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas. Oh yea, and I also love chips and salsa.

Cheeseburger Salad

I love cheeseburgers. I know there are others out there who love a good burger. Give me a medium rare, high quality beef (or grass-fed beef) burger and I’m so happy. I love a delicious, juicy burger and fries. I’m just like everyone else and I have my “comfort food” loves. As much as I love a burger and fries, I also know that a burger and fries combo isn’t the healthiest out there for me. So I created a perfect, low carb and healthier option to a burger!

Where We Workout

March 23, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

We are located in picturesque Delray Beach, Florida, a charming seaside town nestled in between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. It provides beautiful parks and beaches for our outdoor workouts. One of our mottos is “Get out of the gym and into the outdoors”! We love getting our sweat on outside in the fresh air. Is there anything better than a workout with ocean views, sounds of the waves or watching boats drive by?

If you’re considering coming to one of our fitness retreats, you’re probably wondering where exactly we hold our workouts. It’s one of the biggest questions that we get before people sign up.

5 Ways To Use Honey In Your Diet

March 22, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Do you use honey in your diet? I love it for health benefits but I also like to use it as a natural sweetener. I use it as a sweetener in baking recipes if it’s an easy swap, as a substitute for syrup on the occasion that I have pancakes or waffles and even in yogurt with granola. It’s also a great sweetener in protein smoothies and drinks like tea, iced tea or coffee.
