• Before Pictures: pictures and/or video are very influential to other members to vote for you.

It’ll be up to you whether you include them in your weight loss bio.

• Online Vote: In previous years, the winner has been decided by a single jury vote. This year there will be an extra jury vote from the Sand & Steel Membership. Sand and Steel Members will be able to vote based on your bios. The member with the most votes wins the extra jury vote.

My 90 Day Results in the Fall 2022 Competition

It’s been 1 year since I started the Nutrition Lab as a class and I’m hungry for more. So join me this Septembers and let’s do it again! – Coach Paul

Nutrition is the Foundation of My Performance

• Weight Loss: In the 90 days, I lost 22 lbs of body fat and put on 4 pounds of muscle mass. Yielding a net result of -18 lbs. I fell better and I perform better.
• Performance: But the biggest surprise to me is how much eating better helped my workout performance.  I saw about a 25% improvement in my workouts in the first 30 days.  Imagine that, performing better when you eat better.  Shocking, but most people don’t appreciate how this matters. If you workout better, you can build more muscle.
• Mobility: I feel better and my mobility has improved. For the first time ever, I was able to do side crow in yoga. That doesn’t sound like much, but I have attempted and failed to do that pose for 5 plus years.

Nutrition Lab

Nutrition Lab

Sand & Steel Offers Personal Training and CrossFit Classes to help you get into shape. Since diet is a big part of weight loss, we offer Nutrition Lab on Sundays to help you eat and perform better.

Nutrition Lab is a  comprehensive, nutrition program for weight loss and better health. Taught in a small group setting, gain accountability for your decisions and the power to make better choices for a healthier future.

We will help you design and implement a diet that works for your body. We’ll make sure you understand it; we’ll help you implement it; and we’ll hold you accountable for following it. Nutrition Lab is about taking back control over what goes in your body, so you can look and perform at your best.
