We are excited to announce a new addition to our team!!

Austin Littlejohn "Aj"

Austin Littlejohn “Aj” got his first taste of CrossFit when he was in the Marines!! Aj enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2014. While in the Marines, he was an aviation electrician working on MV22 osprey aircraft. In 2017 he started his martial arts journey in boxing and won his first tournament that same year. In 2018 he obtained his C-PT where he helped his peers in the Marines achieve their goals. He has since continued his martial arts journey and now also trains in Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. His first competition in Mixed Martial Arts was in December of 2021 where he won by TKO (technical knockout)!!!. Aj has always enjoyed the aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Longevity is very important to him, and spreading his experience and knowledge with others brings him joy--especially knowing he has had some sort of impact on others’ lives. Aj’s long-term goal is to continue his studies in the field of healthy living and to one day have his own gym for martial arts/weightlifting. “Mind, body, and spirit connection is the key to essential life so let’s unlock the journey together!!”

😴💤 Is lack of sleep inhibiting your progress?

The short answer is YES!

Proper sleep is vital to your long-term success and optimal wellness.

Did you know lack of sleep….:

Decreases your immune system?
Increases Cortisol (your stress hormone) and ghrelin (your hungry hormone)?
Decreases Leptin (the hormone that tells you that you are satisfied)?
Have you ever noticed that you crave not great food or are more stressed when you don't sleep?

To make matters worse, your body has a harder time regulating your blood sugar when you don't get enough sleep. Here are some tips to help improve your sleep:

👉Try to avoid sugar, caffeine, chocolate, and alcohol before bed

👉STOP drinking water an hour before bed

👉Keep your routine SEVEN days a week

👉Avoid eating within 2 hours of your bedtime

👉Set up a wind-down routine at night

Sleep is vital to achieving optimal health!

Rest up!

If you need help navigating healthy habits, we can help!!!

"This month's choices are next month's body"

Simply tracking weight alone and ignoring other important metrics of progress can leave you feeling frustrated, or worse, give you a false sense of progress.

Schedule an InBody Scan to know exactly how all your metrics line up, and how best to approach your nutrition and training!!
