5. Should I eat prior to working out or after?
● We recommend you eat 2 hours prior to working out as we’ve found clients to have additional sustained energy compared to eating 1 hour before workouts

6. How much protein should I consume daily?
● 80-120% of weight (lbs) in grams of protein per day depending on your goals

7. How do I know I am getting closer to reaching my fitness goals?
● Monthly Goal tracking is measured through innovative 3D Body Composition Scanning. It starts by scanning you for 27 different circumference measurements in about 30 seconds. The software will help you better define your fitness goals, timeline to reach those goals, and how to manage when comparing data with trends. Other goals can be set outside of scanning, such as specific exercises, stretches and endurance.

8. Should I avoid Cardio while Bulking?
● Research shows that incorporating cardio into a lifting program can boost stamina and training volume, helping you get more reps done and perform more exercises during each workout. People who incorporate weightlifting into their training plans, meanwhile, can enjoy improvements in not only speed, economy, and power output, but also time to exhaustion.

9. Should You Do Cardio Before or After You Lift Weights?
● Five minute dynamic warmup is recommended. Although it depends on your fitness level, goals, and duration of workout, we generally recommend to lift first and cardio second. Pre-fatiguing your muscles, core stability and energy with cardio prior to lifting weights could elevate risk of injury.
