THE NEXT DIET CHALLENGE – NOVEMBER 2024 @ GRANDMASTERSRX

When you see us offering the next challenge, try it… for 30 days (or 21 in some cases)! 30 days…one month…a small time commitment for the beginning of a lifetime of health! 30 days to see if eliminating possible food addictions, food allergies, gut-damaging foods makes you look, feel and perform better…doesn’t sound that hard, right? Every year, multiple times, we “launch” into structured Challenges here at our gym, but if you want to try it yourself, all you need is a little time to plan, a guideline from which to plan your meals, some support, and the desire to be as healthy as possible

During the last tally, which was…oh gosh…2018? So 6 years ago? eek!, we have worked with over 600 people through Paleo-ish and Health Challenges. That’s a lot of practical experience! If you’ve never been overweight, or too thin, weak or frail, or had trouble adhering to a diet or exercise routine, it’s hard to coach up someone who has.

Sign up. Complete the application.
Pay the nominal fee.
Attend the kick-off seminar.
You’ll be assigned a coach.
