Kickstart new health, fitness and spiritual goals all at once with my unique Faith & Fitness offerings. I’m on a mission to make it easy, convenient and fun to start developing new healthy goals for body and spirit. The pilot online Faith & Fitness Challenge took place this past Lent 2018 and was a big success, providing great insights for future full-scale online F&F Challenges! Stay tuned. You can also book an in-home small group personal training 33 Day Faith & Fitness Challenge with up to 6 people (you + 5 others). Enjoy the community of small group in-home training and the added accountability that model brings with it. Check out my Rates & Offers page for small group training rates. Plus, organizer’s of an in-home F&F Challenge get FREE registration with a full group of six!
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
The in-home 33 Day Faith & Fitness Challenges involve 5 weeks of small group personal training (3-6 people) with two 60-minute training sessions each week + an orientation with body composition assessments prior to the first training session and a success celebration at the end with prizes awarded for positive progress during the Challenge! The three basic pillars below apply to in-home small group Challenges, minus the online components.
Three main pillars of an online Faith & Fitness Challenge…
PILLAR I: Fitness Challenge
On-demand 30-40 minute workout videos along with shorter WOD’s (Workout of the Day) are available each week of the Challenge via a private video platform. You’re not required to do every workout, but you can earn points for each workout you complete, and points add up for prizes! You also get points for reductions in body fat, increases in muscle mass, and positive changes in body circumference throughout the Challenge.
PILLAR II: Faith Challenge
You can also earn points for being faithful to the daily Faith Challenge, which consists of short daily reflections from the popular Do-It-Yourself retreat “33 Days to Merciful Love” by Fr. Michael Gaitley. This book culminates in a powerful personal consecration at the end (ie. a deeper commitment of your life to Jesus Christ). You are free to choose a different daily faith commitment if you wish–some sort of spiritual act that you can commit to on a daily basis–instead of using the recommended book.
PILLAR III*: Nutrition Challenge
Proper nutrition plays a major role in achieving and sustaining any health & fitness goal. If you want help developing better nutrition habits then I highly recommend AdvoCare ONE/80. ONE/80 is a well-balanced, comprehensive, guided and science-based nutrition program that can help optimize your health & fitness results. And you can also earn extra points during the Challenge by including this daily nutrition component.
*OPTIONAL: While AdvoCare ONE/80 is an optional part of the Faith & Fitness Challenge, optimizing your nutrition isn’t optional! Do what works best for you but, whatever you do, it’s important to be consistent with it.
DAILY FIT-SPIRATION
Participants will receive daily (M-F) Crux Fit-spiration group texts to provide some encouragement, accountability, and guidance throughout the duration of the Challenge. A Facebook page will also be created for the Challenge as a means for you to stay in touch with me (your trainer) and others who are participating in the Challenge.
WHAT DO I NEED?
- Yourself and your desire to kickstart or achieve new health, fitness & spiritual goals
- A computer or smart device (tablet or smartphone) for the workout videos
- The book 33 Days to Merciful Love by Fr. Michael Gaitley if you choose this recommended daily faith commitment
- An Omron scale OR body fat calipers and a simple body circumference measuring tape (view affordable options and purchase directly from my Crux Point Fitness Amazon shop). IMPORTANT: body composition tracking is NOT required at this time for participation in the online Challenge, but it is required in order to be eligible for points & prizes. And it’s not as hard or complicated as you may think! Watch my How-To video on body composition tracking for the Challenge.
