At CrossFit Dwell, we recently wrapped up our very first Nutrition Challenge in collaboration with Smart and Simple Nutrition. This 8-week journey, led by Nutrition Coach Andrea, was designed to help our clients establish sustainable habits in nutrition, sleep, exercise, and hydration. Each participant kicked off their challenge with a one-on-one consultation, allowing Andrea to tailor personalized goals that ranged from weight loss to muscle gain and toning. We want to share a couple of success stories to celebrate.
Client Success Stories: Meet Karen and Shannon
Two of our dedicated athletes, Karen and Shannon, emerged as part of the winning team, earning the most points throughout the challenge. Both women embarked on this journey with the common goal of weight loss, but their individual experiences and outcomes were uniquely rewarding.
Karen’s Journey: Reclaiming Healthy Habits
Karen joined the challenge with a desire to get back on track with eating quality food. Initially hesitant, she was impressed by the personalized approach during her consultation. “Our coach was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable,” Karen shared. “She emphasized tailoring the challenge to each participant, which really appealed to me.”
Karen found the weekly coaching calls particularly valuable, learning something new every week. These calls, designed to shift mindsets and reframe thoughts about nutrition, became a cornerstone of her success. Reflecting on her journey, Karen proudly said, “I lost significant weight while still enjoying my meals. The challenge wasn’t overly restrictive—I actually found new freedom around eating.” Her biggest breakthrough came from openly discussing her food-related obstacles and receiving actionable steps to overcome them.
Shannon’s Experience: Simplifying Nutrition for Success
Shannon, who was determined to return to her pre-2020 weight, was drawn to the potential changes she could achieve by fully committing to the program. She particularly appreciated the simplified approach to meal planning, which helped her realize that effective nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated.
Shannon’s proudest achievement was losing inches off her body, attributing much of her success to eliminating alcohol from her diet. Although she initially struggled with tracking her food in MyFitnessPal, her determination to build a strong foundation of healthy habits kept her motivated. “I would tell my past self to trust the process!” Shannon advised, reflecting on her journey.
Client Testimonials: Words of Wisdom for Future Challengers
Both Shannon and Karen highly recommend this challenge to others who are considering making a change. Shannon reflects on her journey, saying, “I would tell my past self to trust the process!” Karen echoes this sentiment with encouraging words: “Take the leap. Yes, you will have to go through the discomfort of change—but it won’t be as bad or as extreme as you think it will. And it will be worth it. Your clothes will fit better, you’ll feel better physically, and you’ll have proved to yourself that you CAN do it.”
These testimonials highlight the transformative impact of the challenge and the lasting confidence it instills in participants.
Celebrating Success and Looking Forward
We are incredibly proud of every participant in our Nutrition Challenge. Their bravery in trying something new and their commitment to self-improvement are truly inspiring. As the first group to go through this process at CrossFit Dwell, they’ve paved the way for future participants, and we’ve learned so much from their experiences.
