*All weigh-ins shown were taken on the same day

💡 If you are tracking your weight, it’s a good idea to do it at the same time of day each time to get the most accurate measurements.

However, our weight fluctuates greatly throughout the day due to things like water retention and bowel movements, indicating that it really isn’t a great measurement for body fat. The same goes for BMI, as this measurement does not take into account what percentage of your body is made up of muscle, and what percentage is made up of fat.

The best indicator for weight loss is to measure body fat %, especially if you are working out while trying to lose weight. For instance, I weigh the exact same now as I did in college, but I have far more lean muscle now, so I look vastly different than before.

Bottom line: body fat % measurements > body weight (for body composition information) 👍🏻

✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨

Our very own front desk/maintenance crew member Caio signed up to be on my BLean team in the spring, and I’m sure he remembers my slow head tilt very well 😅 As you can tell from his before photos, he was already quite lean, but he wanted to lean out a little more to see more definition. And he did!! He went from 13% body fat down to 9% in just 6 weeks 🤯

This was a true body recomposition, as we were trying to drop his body fat while simultaneously building muscle, and we did just that. As his body fat went down, his lean mass consistently went up, indicating that he was not losing any muscle, and was in fact gaining it.

Caio KILLED this challenge, and he’s proof that hard work and dedication pays off!! 👏🏼👏🏼

People think nutrition coaching and they automatically think weight loss, but there are so many other applications for it. Even for people who are not looking to lose or gain anything, but simply just want to learn how to eat right. Come see me at Best Fitness in Danvers for 1:1 nutrition coaching and let me help you look and feel your best!! Bi-weekly options as low as $125/month 🧡

🥂 10 years since saying I do!!! Marriage is inherently difficult, but nowadays I really don’t feel like ours is. Of course we had our challenges like everyone else, but the last 10 years married to you have been anything but difficult. You never let all the parental responsibilities fall on my shoulders, and you always supported me every time I wanted to go back to school for my next new career idea (found one I love! 😅).

You are not another weight I carry, you are what makes it all lighter. I appreciate you so much and I love you more than words. Happy anniversary!! ♥️♥️ by @strongmomszn

Figured I’d hop on this trend! Really didn’t think my shoulder was going to let me, so big ups to her 🙌🏼

💡 Have you checked in with your mobility lately? Mobility directly affects strength, as muscles that are able to perform an exercise through a full range of motion generate more force, thus allowing you to lift heavier. Trying to get stronger without paying attention to mobility will only keep you stalled.

🏷️ Be sure to tag me if you try the challenge! It looks easier than it is 👀

✨ I have room in my schedule for a few more training or nutrition clients at @bestfitnessclubs in Danvers. My schedule will fill back up pretty quickly now that summer is over, so if you have any interest please let me know ASAP ☺️

It’s never too early to get your kids moving! No weights needed, just some body weight exercises and good energy ☺️

This workout is also great for any adults who are interested in fitness but don’t know where to start. It covers a lot of the basic movement patterns typically found in an exercise program, so it’s a great place to start.

Save and follow for more fitness and nutrition tips, and come see me at @bestfitnessclubs in Danvers for coaching! 🧡

✨CLIENT TRANSFORMATION ✨

Ana has been absolutely crushing her nutrition and training!! She has lost a total of 22 pounds and 7% body fat just since we started working together at the end of last year.

This super busy, super sweet momma has 2 young children, works overnights, is in school, and she *never* misses a scheduled workout. She has been so busy that sometimes she has missed some food tracking, but her persistence and hard work at the gym keep her moving in the right direction. She is proof that the two go hand-in-hand and play off each other. We are never looking for perfection, just progress!

Ana had initially started training with me to help with her diastasis recti and to lose a little body fat. It didn’t take long before she got completely hooked on the gym altogether. It’s been so much fun watching her confidence climb as she gets stronger and loses some of the stubborn postpartum weight. She had serious doubts that she would ever have a flat stomach again, and check her out now! My favorite part is that her children are growing up with the absolute best role model right at home 🥰

Swipe to see Ana’s transformation from our @bestfitnessclubs BLean challenge she did back in June!! 👉🏻

Our next 6-week BLean challenge starts 10/5 🧡

40 years old doing things I never could have dreamed of doing when I was 20 🙌🏼

This is *almost* a full planche! The planche is an advanced calisthenic exercise that requires straight arm shoulder strength, scapula strength/control, chest/tricep strength/stability, strong glutes and lower back, a solid core, and lots of balance.

I’ve been having fun practicing Peacock pose on the ground, but I thought it would be fun to make it more challenging using a bar instead of the floor. Now I just need to work on completely straightening my arms to get the full planche. Stay tuned! And tag me if you try this out 😁

Come train with me at @bestfitnessgyms in Danvers! Nutrition coaching also available ✨

How strong is your back… really? 👀

The Sorensen Test measures your back extensor endurance—how long your spinal erectors can maintain a neutral position.

Why it matters: your back needs endurance, not just strength. It supports you through lifting, running, carrying, and everyday life.

A stronger back is great.
A back that can keep working is better 💪

Give it a try and be sure to tag me!

✨ I have room in my schedule for one or two more clients, let me know if you have any interest! You can find me at @bestfitnessclubs in Danvers. Nutrition coaching also available 🧡
