How To Survive Summer BBQs

We all know how fun summer parties can be but we also know how they can quickly derail some of the progress we’ve made lately in and out of the gym. 

So what do we do? Stay home???

NO WAY! 

Here are a few things you can do to enjoy yourself but not completely change all your healthy habits. 

  1. Eat Before You Go – It’s simple, if you show up hungry you are more likely to eat whatever is laying around. Easiest way to combat this is to just eat a meal before you leave for the party. You’ll have more self control at the party and not make (as many) bad decisions. 
  2. Be Active – Most parties have some sort of activities going on. Jump in and join the fun. Play some Cornhole, Spikeball, Frisbee, even jump in the pool for a bit. This will help burn some calories while having a great time. 
  3. Be Careful What You’re Drinking – Obviously water is the best choice but not always the most fun for some people so make sure to drink in moderation. A few cocktails could mean a few hundred calories. Try to limit yourself to only a couple over the course of the party and drink water in between. Many beers will tend to have more calories compared to vodka or tequila. Be mindful of the mixers too. 
  4. Eat The Veggies – There always seems to be a plate of vegetables and fruit at parties so feel free to snack away. Eating a bunch of veggies will make you less likely to overindulge in the less healthy choices. 
  5. Don’t Be Weird – Last but not least remember that this is a party and you’re there to have a good time. Not every day is perfect so occasionally you may need to grab a greasy cheeseburger and just smile and enjoy the moment. 

Hopefully these tips will help make your summer BBQs more enjoyable and a little healthier. Any questions just ask.

I started CrossFit in 2012 and like many others got addicted to the methodology, to the community and to the physical and mental changes I have seen on myself. I complete my L1 CrossFit Trainer certificate in 2015 and the L2 In 2019. Most of all I love following athletes from when they show up on their first class not yet realizing their potential and then helping achieve greatness.

Certified PT NASM since 2007 and L1 CrossFit since 2018. I absolutely love the art of fitness! I love it even more when I see others conquer their goals & completely surprise themselves. When I’m not encouraging our members to do another burpee, I love hanging with my family, Fiona (my fur baby) & exploring this beautiful earth! Outside of working out, my favorite escape is going & seeing how others around the world live out their everyday lives

I started my CrossFit journey in 2017 at Crossfit Templum, and have gained many  friendships, business partners and relationships for life. Let’s not forget to mention that I have also gained muscles!

With dedication and hard work I lost about 50lbs. I am surrounded by great coaches and people that push hard for themselves and for others. In 2019, I made the decision to become a coach and lead like they do.

ONE DAY OR DAY ONE , YOU DECIDE.

A lifelong technologist, I discovered CrossFit when I realized I needed to step away from the computer and get in shape.  Little did I know the impact it would have on my life, both physically and mentally.  Now I love sharing in the journey with others, whether it’s coaching or throwing down in a WOD together.

HOLD POLICY

As stated in your Apache Fit Membership Agreement, you have the option to put your automatically recurring monthly membership on hold. (Pre-paid memberships we have sold expire based on the specified pre-paid period regardless of usage and cannot be put on hold). Before submitting your Membership Hold Request, please read the following points carefully. By submitting the form below you are confirming that you have read and understand that: Membership hold requests must be submitted no less than (7) seven business days before your forthcoming scheduled renewal date. Membership hold requests received later cannot be processed until after the forthcoming scheduled renewal payment. A member in good standing may place membership on hold only after the initial two month term of membership. Membership hold requests are limited to one (maximum of 3 months) time per calendar year. The AutoPay on the membership file must be confirmed and active. Membership billing automatically resumes after the requested hold date unless a member writes to release the hold early. Use of the gym or its facilities during the “Hold” period will result in the membership being reactivated immediately; and member’s regular monthly membership charges will be assessed. Upon expiration of the hold period, your account will automatically reactivate and regular membership payments will resume. All membership payments are non-refundable. If you choose to cancel your membership during the hold period, the standard 30-day written cancellation notice requirement stated in your membership agreement is applicable. If you choose to reactivate your membership after it is canceled, membership rates in effect at the time of reactivation will be applicable (membership rates are subject to change). Please note: This policy applies to ALL memberships.

CANCELLATION POLICY

We’re very sorry to see you go! If you decide to reactivate your membership in the future (and we hope you do) membership rates in effect at the time of reactivation will be applicable as membership rates are subject to change. If you are traveling for an extended period of time or injured and would like to put your membership on hold instead of canceling, you can submit a Membership Hold Request on our website. If you’re sure you’d like to cancel, just complete and submit the form below. This will serve as your 30-day written cancellation notice as required by your membership agreement. Note that if you have a scheduled renewal payment within this 30-day period, the payment will be processed as scheduled. All payments are non-refundable. Cancellation of membership prior to the expiration of any specified commitment period requires a 30 day notice prior to billing date. Cancelation of membership prior to expiration of a specified commitment period requires a termination fee equivalent to the balance owed for your time with an active membership (i.e. if the difference between a 6 month agreement and month to month agreement is $20/month and the 6 month agreement is terminated early, the balance for all active months is owed upon cancelation.)
