It all started out of necessity…
Coaching many clients over the years, our team realized that we were missing a huge piece of the fitness pie, nutrition. To optimize our clients' results, the 8th Street Nutrition Method was born.
When it comes to nutrition, 8th Street Fitness supports a macro-nutrient based solution. This promotes long term dietary changes, instead of short term changes seen by many unstable fad diets. The three macro-nutrients are protein, fat, and carbohydrates. If these are balanced correctly, and food is kept at the proper caloric intake, we can achieve optimal body composition. We believe, that eating must be looked at in a manner that is tailored to the individual, not blanketed for the masses. Proper nutrition should be based off of an individual's activity level, and his or her goals. Whole foods are the best foods to eat while achieving this, and for this reason, we recommend hitting macro-nutrient and caloric intake with meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and starches.
What do we do for our nutrition clients?
The first thing we do when we start with a new client, is get a baseline of what his or her life is like. This includes: daily activity levels, exercise regimens, job demands, goals, and his or her current weight, height and age. This information gives us the data we need to come up with a solution for the individual, as we do not have any templates and everything we do is unique to each client. After our initial assessment, you will receive a personalized macronutrient profile tailored to fit your needs and the support of one of our coaches on your journey.
