OCTOBER CHICK OF THE MONTH<\/h3>\n

We are pulling sweaters and shawls from the winter chest, and reaching more often than not for the blanket at the end of the couch. Pumpkins, pumpkins are everywhere! (Check out this delicious Pumpkin Pie Power Smoothie Recipe<\/a>).<\/strong> Fall is upon us chicks, and that means that classes have moved indoors\u00a0(yay- no more bugs!).\u00a0Just as exciting is the launch of our new Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program<\/a> – with a 200hr certification you can take your health, knowledge, career confidence and skills to the next level!<\/p>\n

Now to\u00a0celebrate the start of Fall\u00a0we want to introduce the fab, fierce Eve from the Toronto East Danforth Bootcamp<\/a>. Not only has Eve lost 5lbs and 8-10 inches but she is\u00a0 stronger than ever!\u00a0\u00a0After seeing how the awesome\u00a0camaraderie and support\u00a0in class helped push her to reach her potential, <\/strong>she is now\u00a0motivating others to live a healthy lifestyle (we like to call it spreading the healthy love) and we could not be more proud of her. \u00a0We got a chance to catch up with Eve to tell us about her fitness and healthy journey.<\/p>\n

1. What made you decide to join FIT CHICKS?<\/h3>\n

I was swimming frequently but I wanted to intensify my workouts for better results. And I wanted impact for bone-building. I didn’t know much about FIT CHICKS but the comradery looked fun and I decided to take a chance. <\/em><\/p>\n

2. What is the biggest change you have seen in your life since joining FIT CHICKS? How has fitness and nutrition changed your life for the better?<\/h3>\n

The biggest change is that I feel much stronger! I have more stamina doing the most ordinary things – like just standing around, I bound up the stairs using the right muscles now, and I think my posture is improving, more so after the supportive stoma belt<\/a> I started wearing and the plant-based protein powder<\/a> I started ingesting. I clearly didn’t have muscles in my legs before FIT CHICKS, and I’m excited to see if my skiing improves because of the new strength. Frankly, I don’t know really how I moved by body around this world before.<\/em><\/p>\n

In terms\u00a0of\u00a0physical change, I have lost 5 lbs, around 8-10 inches in various parts, and overall a more toned appearance. <\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m most proud\u00a0of\u00a0my progress doing push ups because I couldn\u2019t do a single one when I started. I don\u2019t go as far down to\u00a0the\u00a0ground as I should, and that is my current challenge, but they are all on my toes now and it feels great! My fit test improved:<\/em><\/p>\n
