Question: What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

Question: Do I need to cut out foods for health improvement?
Answer: Not necessarily. Although we want to limit the intake of "unhealthy" foods (e.g. candy, french fries, soda), we do not believe that completely eliminating them is a sustainable practice. One of our core nutritional values is to add more foods when making changes to a diet. With that, you will not only get a larger variety of micronutrients, but you will also have less room for the "unhealthy" stuff.

Question: Are sit-ups the best exercise for a flat stomach?

Question: Will I burn more fat on an empty stomach?
Answer: Maybe, but definitely not as much as you think. When you're fasted, you will use a greater percentage of calories from fat, but it will reduce your ability to do high intensity work. We recommend to eat a meal/snack that is carbohydrate focused, with some fat/protein, so you can get the most of your workout.
