Fueling 2 Perform℠

Packages – extra savings with package purchases

6 months*: Initial Assessment plus 2 follow-up visits/month. $750

*The 6 month package also includes the Race Week Nutrition Assessment.

A superb, 6-week session designed to help you track and understand your weight as you head into the race season! The goal of this on-line class is to help you fuel better, feel better and race better! Once you sign up, you will receive an information “Intake Form” for you and the nutrition coach to use as a baseline to your current status and habits. You will watch weekly team videos via facebook loaded with tips, meal plan ideas, and information that will motivate you to stay on track for success. In addition, you will get to have a 30 minute discussion about your personal needs and your My Fitness Pal tracking diary with the coach. Although it is not designed to get an individual to a specific weight (that is something a personalized nutrition package can do) it should help you lose the last few pesky pounds that can really improve your performance. In general, weight loss is expected to be .5 – 2 lbs per week for most committed attendees who can healthfully stand to lose that much weight.

You will need:

• MyFitnessPal (food diary) to log in time for the first week
• Facebook account to join our group page for weekly Video and group discussion 

You will receive:

• A handout each week to go along with the Video discussion
• A onetime discussion by phone (30 min) any time during the 6-week class to discuss your MFP diary and answer questions.
