Trainer Tip of the Month: Stay Hydrated💧

Proper hydration boosts energy, improves focus, cushions joints, supports digestion and helps your body recover faster. It’s essential for performance in and out of the gym!

Just ask Dexter Fitness Plus member Caleb Robison. Caleb stays active with weightlifting, cardio and pickleball. He makes it a point to drink at least 100 oz of water a day. As a former athlete, he knows hydration is the foundation of a great workout and feeling your best.
