Just bring:

• Water bottle (stay hydrated!)
• Workout clothes and athletic shoes
• Towel (optional)

Weight loss comes down to creating a caloric deficit while eating nutrient-dense foods. Focus on:

• Lean proteins: Chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef (builds muscle, keeps you full)
• Vegetables: Unlimited! Low calorie, high fiber, nutrient-dense
• Complex carbs: Rice, oats, sweet potatoes, quinoa (fuel for workouts)
• Healthy fats: Avocado, nuts, olive oil (hormone health, satiety)
• Water: At least 64oz daily, more if exercising

Avoid: Processed foods, excessive sugar, alcohol, and liquid calories. Our meal plans take the guesswork out!

For optimal muscle building and fat loss, aim for:

• Weight Loss: 0.8-1.0g per pound of body weight
• Muscle Building: 1.0-1.2g per pound of body weight
• Maintenance: 0.6-0.8g per pound of body weight

Example: A 150-pound person aiming to lose weight should eat 120-150g of protein daily. Our meal plans calculate this for you!

Before workout (1-2 hours): Light meal with carbs and protein for energy (banana with peanut butter, oatmeal, protein shake)

After workout (within 1 hour): Protein and carbs to rebuild muscle and replenish glycogen (protein shake, chicken and rice, Greek yogurt with fruit)

If working out early morning, a pre-workout supplement or light snack is fine. Listen to your body - some people prefer fasted cardio.

Average Results: Most members lose 15-30 pounds in their first 3 months when combining bootcamp classes with proper nutrition.

Success Stories:

• Sarah M. - Lost 45 lbs in 4 months
• Mike T. - Lost 60 lbs in 6 months
• Jennifer L. - Lost 35 lbs in 5 months

Results vary based on consistency, nutrition adherence, starting weight, and individual metabolism. Our members have collectively lost over 10,000 pounds since 2017!

For optimal weight loss results:

• Beginners: 3-4 classes per week
• Intermediate: 4-5 classes per week
• Advanced: 5-6 classes per week

Rest days are important for recovery! Most of our successful weight loss members attend 4-5 classes weekly combined with good nutrition. Consistency beats intensity.

Common reasons for weight loss plateaus:

• Not tracking calories: You may be eating more than you think
• Not enough protein: Protein keeps you full and preserves muscle
• Liquid calories: Sodas, alcohol, fancy coffee drinks add up
• Not sleeping enough: Aim for 7-8 hours (affects hormones)
• Too much stress: Cortisol can hinder weight loss
• Not enough water: Drink at least 64oz daily
• Same workouts: This is why we use Muscular Confusion!

Talk to our trainers - we'll help identify and solve your specific roadblock.

Truth: You cannot spot-reduce fat. Your body loses fat from all areas based on genetics.

However, our approach works for belly fat:

• High-intensity workouts burn overall body fat
• Core exercises strengthen abdominal muscles
• Proper nutrition reduces bloating and inflammation
• Consistent training reduces visceral (dangerous) belly fat

As you lose overall body fat, your belly will shrink. Abs are made in the kitchen and revealed in the gym!

Absolutely not! All fitness levels are welcome - from complete beginners to seasoned athletes.

Our trainers excel at:

• Modifying exercises for any fitness level
• Providing progressions as you get stronger
• Creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment
• Helping you build confidence gradually

Many of our most successful transformation stories started as complete beginners. You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!

Not at all! We have members of all fitness levels in every class. Our community is incredibly supportive and encouraging. Everyone remembers their first day, and you'll find:

• Friendly faces who will motivate you
• Trainers who pay attention to everyone
• Modifications for every exercise

We were all beginners once. You'll fit right in!

Please inform our trainers about any injuries or limitations. We'll provide:

• Alternative exercises that work around injuries
• Modifications to prevent aggravating problem areas
• Progressions that strengthen weak points
• Guidance on what to avoid and what's safe

Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. Our trainers will work with you and your doctor's recommendations to keep you safe while achieving results.

Energy & Mood: Most people feel better within 1-2 weeks

Physical Changes: You'll notice changes in 3-4 weeks, others will notice in 6-8 weeks

Significant Transformation: 12 weeks of consistent training and nutrition

Remember: Results require consistency. Come to class 3-4 times per week, follow nutrition guidelines, and give it 12 weeks. The transformation will amaze you!

No, supplements are not required for weight loss. Proper nutrition and exercise are the foundation. However, supplements can:

• Enhance energy and workout performance
• Support recovery and reduce soreness
• Help meet protein requirements
• Fill nutritional gaps in your diet
• Accelerate results when combined with proper training

Think of supplements as the "cherry on top" - they enhance results but aren't magic pills.

We stock premium Bucked Up supplements. Top recommendations:

• Protein Powder: Helps meet daily protein needs ($39.99)
• Pre-Workout: Boosts energy and performance ($49.99)
• Creatine: Builds strength and muscle ($27.99)
• Multivitamin: Fills nutritional gaps (STAG for men, DOE for women - $29.99)

Take pre-workout 20-30 minutes before your workout on an empty stomach for best absorption.

Tips:

• Start with half a serving to assess tolerance
• Drink plenty of water
• Don't take within 6 hours of bedtime
• Cycle off every 6-8 weeks to maintain effectiveness

We carry Bucked Up Pre-Workout, Woke AF (high stimulant), and Buck Naked (caffeine-free for evening workouts).
