Private studio- Sahuarita, Az. Online, In person Strength & Nutrition Coaching What's up? Is my style challenging?

Im Jordan, a Registered Nutrition & Dietetic Technician through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, a Certified Personal Trainer & Health Coach. I am not your typical trainer who uses moves and routines passed down through the ages, or whatever happens to sound good at the time. I have spent countless hours researching new techniques, routines, different movements and different philosophies which result in maximum results, and unmistakable gains to strength, conditioning, stamina, and all around mental fortitude. A quote from Dan Gable says: “After wrestling, everything else comes easy.” That may be true, but my workouts are definitely far from easy. I workout differently, and I get different results. You bet, but are you really looking for “easy”? I want to make my life better. Hopefully, that is the same reason you are reading this Bio right now. Let’s take this journey together.

In a world full of , be strong, muscular & take up space 🤘

When we look at fitness related goals, it’s easier to instantly turn to the scale. While the scale is a great tool to use to track progress, there is something many other way beneficial ways to track progress to.

One thing that I enjoy doing is setting fitness related goals that are not correlated with the scale. For me, this can look like hitting a PR with a big lift, running X amount of miles or even trying a new hike.

Setting goals outside of the scale allows you to shift your focus to performance. When we compare performance goals vs. scale goals, we tend to be able to focus better on these long term, which allows for us to hold ourselves more accountable & provide more motivation.

What type of non- scale based goals do you have? 👇🏽

Should women lift heavy? Should we not? 🧐

With all the information out there, it’s HARD to know what is right & what is wrong. But, you know what’s not wrong? The science we have to back things up with 😉

“Women shouldn’t lift weights, that’s how they get fat”
“Lifting weights increases cortisol levels”
“Women shouldn’t lift like men”

I’m sure we’ve all seen it, but what these people forget to mention is the benefits from lifting heavy.

🌟 Increase in bone density
🌟 Increase in overall muscle mass
🌟 increase in metabolism
🌟 More calories burnt
🌟 BONUS: You want have to ask your man to do all the heavy lifting (unless you want to)

Strength training should be every women’s workout regimen 💪🏽

5 things that I refuse to do, let’s get it:

1️⃣. Cut out your favorite foods. With any body comp goals, your nutrition will have to shift. It’s just how it works. However, when planned right, you can still your favorite foods in. Hello making the process a little more bearable.

2️⃣. Make you do anything not optimal. While I completely understand wanting to always show clients new movements/exercises, there’s something to be said about the basics that work (when programmed with load).

3️⃣. Make you feel bad for choosing a social life. This one might ruffle some feathers, but there’s something to be said about balance between your personal life & fitness goals. Finding a way to balance what you enjoy with your goals is one of the best ways to be successful long term.

4️⃣. Not being able to provide you with the education needed, so you can one day go off on your own (if you choose, I’m also totally okay with you staying on my schedule forever 🫶🏽). One of the big factors in MBJ is the educational side of things. I see trainers all the time say things like “well we do it that way just because”. Well, what actually? My goal is to be able to give you the exact breakdown of what it is we’re doing.

5️⃣. Only measure clients progress by the scale. Many times people come to me with scale based goals, but we also incorporate some other way to measure progress. There’s many other ways to measures progress besides just the scale: PRs, overall strength, energy levels, mini wins, etc.

Struggling to PR in your big lifts? 🏋️‍♀️

Hitting a plateau can be one of the most frustrating things- but I'm here to tell you, it's normal & you can totally work through it with the right programming.

A few 🔑 things to do to prevent or move you through that plateau:

▪️ Increase the amount of times you are programming this lift into your routine. When we look at "ideal" programming, consider implementing these big lifts 2x/week. One of those day being a high volume (AKA high rep) with the other focusing on low reps with high weight.
▪️ Incorporate tempo into your training. Work on slow eccentrics or partial reps. Incorporating movements like these changes the stress & load on the muscles, offering them a new stimulus ➡ Which means more chances to grow!
▪️ Don't forget solid accessory work. Accessory work is great to help you improve strength in your weaker points, which in turn will help those big lifts. Make sure with your accessrry work were not just "going through the movements". You still want to be pushing the load.

Looking for a new way to burn out those quads at the end of a leg day? 🔥

Here’s how to:
❤️‍🔥 Elevate those heels- let put MAJOR emphasis on those quads
❤️‍🔥 Grab a weight- one that you can get a decent amount of reps with but it is still a struggle
❤️‍🔥 Perform as many goblet squats as you can with the weight, set that bad boy & keep going until you feel like your legs are literally going to fall off.

Let’s have a quick chat since the internet is full of nutrition advice that means well but misses slightly. ⬇️

1️⃣- Shopping the perimeter is a great option when you are trying to eat more Whole Foods. But, you can find a ton of foods with high nutritional value in the aisles like: canned tuna, oats, beans, canned veggies, etc.

2️⃣- Processed food. Processed foods are majorly dogged on, but can actually be a really helpful tool, even in a healthy diet. While don’t want to consume only processed all the time, they can be a great tool to keep you fueled. Plus, in some cases, vitamins + minerals are added into foods. These are usually ones we don’t hit the recommended daily amount for.

3️⃣- Fun fact: your body doesn’t change the way you digest if you eat at 7AM vs. 7PM. One way I like think of this is: your body is a car. When you run out of gas, you put gas in no matter what time of the day.

4️⃣- Food labels & marketing can be confusing & not completely accurate. Just because something has a flashy label does not make it healthier.

Social media can have us thinking we’re doing it all wrong.

When I first got into fitness & nutrition, I thought everything had to be perfect.

Perfect meals. Perfect workouts. Perfect aesthetic.
Scrolling through photos & reels, it looks like everyone’s eating these beautifully plated meals that probably taste amazing and look even better.

Meanwhile… I’m over here with a bowl of rice, ground beef, and BBQ sauce that looks like straight chaos. 😅

You see posts of people training 2+ hours a day — somehow still looking flawless and not even sweaty (how?!).

And that’s when I realized… we need to switch the script. 🤘

Not everyone has the time (or energy) to cook gourmet, picture-perfect meals.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t build meals that fuel your goals.

Not everyone can spend hours in the gym.
But you can absolutely get an effective workout in 30–45 minutes.

Your workouts don’t have to be pretty.
Your nutrition doesn’t have to be pretty.
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
But it DOES need to be effective. ⚡

Real > aesthetic.
Consistency > perfection.

Did you know your body needs 1,300-1,800 calories/day just to maintain normal body function?

This means that many of us are actually under eating & not even realizing it.

Your body not only functions better when you’re providing it with what it needs, but it can also help us meet our goals faster & more effectively.
