Nutrition is Important

You can lift weights almost every day, but you won't optimize your results until you learn nutrition. We definitely recommend taking the nutrition class as well. We go over macros such as fat, carbs, and protein. In fact, we made a video on estimating your macros. This formula isn't as accurate as the one we teach in class, but it's a pretty good start.
