Mountain Range Fitness nutrition coach Erin Kuhlman will host a six-week summer challenge to help participants prioritize health and fitness while learning more about nutrition and how to reach their goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do quite a few different challenges throughout the year, and this one we\u2019ve essentially built around a nutrition guide that I have created for Mountain Range Fitness. So, that\u2019s really the great value. Any individual that signs up for the challenge gets a guide to take with them, even post-challenge,\u201d Kuhlman told The<\/em> Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The cost of the program is $100 including supplies and assistance.<\/p>\n

The program can be tailored to each participant, and there are 40 slots total, with 10 in each category. The categories are women\u2019s weight loss, men\u2019s weight loss, women\u2019s muscle gain and men\u2019s muscle gain.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do not have to be a member of Mountain Range Fitness to participate,\u201d Kuhlman said. \u201cWe would love to get to know many more individuals out in the community that are looking for some advice or just looking for a place to better themselves, and we want to better them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Registration will remain open until the slots are filled until the deadline of July 15.<\/p>\n

The challenge includes three rules: drink a gallon of water per day, follow the included nutrition guide and complete the 45-minute daily workout.<\/p>\n

Participants are given a nutrition guide and are asked to calculate their goal macros before scheduling a fit body 3D scan at Mountain Range before July 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I build a goal for them and then we get a baseline scan,\u201d Kuhlman said. \u201cIt\u2019s a fit 3D scan, so it gets all the lovely measurements that we probably don\u2019t want to see, but it\u2019s good to see. It measures body fat, weight, muscle tissue and does your posture, which is actually kind of cool as well. We\u2019ll use that as the initial setup and then we\u2019ll do the scan again to see where you land (at the end).\u201d<\/p>\n

Participants also have the opportunity to schedule 30 minutes with Kuhlman to review their macros. They can complete a Google each day to track progress, and at the end of six weeks, there will be a final body scan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to build a plan to see the different outcomes of that (nutrition) guide,\u201d Kuhlman continued. \u201cThat\u2019s how I designed it. For me, it\u2019s a science experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

All who participate will receive a free MRF nutrition guide to use post-challenge .<\/p>\n

Prizes will be offered to the winners in all four categories: a choice of $500 of MRF\u2019s built for life program, $150 off a nutrition program or $100 off personal training, plus MRF swag and 1st Phorm products.<\/p>\n
