🌟Our March SuperNova: Joy Renders-Lawrence🌟
Within 2 months Joy has…
⬆️ Increased lean muscle mass by 3.3lbs
⬇️ Decreased body fat by 4.6lbs
Joy is praised by all her coaches for balancing work, travel, family and a very full calendar.
She is the epitome of NO EXCUSES 🚫
Here is a quote from Joy herself on how she accomplishes her results with commitment and intention:
“I schedule my workouts like I would an important meeting. If it’s in my calendar, it happens.
Training fuels everything else - it improves my energy, sharpens my focus, and leads to better food choices and decisions throughout the day.
I also set quarterly goals and work closely with the trainers, regularly reviewing where I feel strong and where I want to improve.
Having clear targets keeps me accountable and motivated.”

🌟Our February SuperNova: Joe Farrell🌟
Joe has been a Nova member since 2018!
During this time he stayed super consistent with his training - starting 2x/wk and eventually moving to 3x/wk by adding a double session with his wife Beth.
With this training foundation in place, it was just a matter of time before he took on the other pillars of health - lifestyle habits outside of the gym.
At the end of summer last year, he realized that although he is working out, he could not ‘outwork’ poor habits outside of the gym - habits like little movement and eating out at lunch.
Joe made a decisive shift - to bridge the gap between his workouts and lifestyle habits.
He began incorporating more NEAT (non exercise active thermogenesis - like walking), increasing protein and meal prepping his own lunch.
And with his ability to stay consistent, these habits, combined with his workouts allowed him to lose 15lbs of weight and get his body fat percentage to 15%!
He feels better, looks great and is setting himself up for a future where he can experience life, his family and be stress resilient to overcome the challenges of running a business.
Want to know more how Joe made this happen?

Want to get results like this?
Nova coaching is not only about working out but empowering you to bridge the gap between the 5 pillars of health.
Because when it comes to results… Working out = 1
Nutrition = 1
NEAT = 1
But working out + nutrition + NEAT = 10!

Highlights from our annual Nova Christmas Walk/Run🎄🏃
Though the weather was wet and windy, that didn’t stop our most committed Nova members from coming and having fun.
This year we switched up the post walk/run breakfast by having a chef make omelettes to order.
Plus, Coach Josh requested the chef to prepare an oatmeal alternative - creamy brown rice cereal - just as yummy and comforting as oatmeal but better on digestion.
Thanks to the team for putting it on and all our members who came out!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Nova Team!
