Jasmine Hutchinson – the bouldering beauty from Riverfront Rock Gym:
2018 Goals:
Weight goals: Nothing specific but wants to fit into a super small bikini this summer
Nutrition goals: Drink more water
Other goals: Improve overall hard sport climbing with a focus on: hard bouldering, campus board work, hang board work
Improve flexiblity (yoga once a week or more)
Gain strength

Summertime Check-In:

1) Current stats:
Workouts: 3-ish times a week. I started going to Crossfit 791 in Cashmere on those days when climbing is too much of a commitment. They have a 5am class so I can get a workout in before my kiddo even wakes up. 
As for climbing I certainly have not been breaking any PRs. I have been climbing when I can hoping for the smoke to clear. We just started the construction of our own home training facility!
Nutrition: I completed a full round of whole 30 and it has really helped me be more aware of what I have been eating.
Water intake: I am still not drinking enough water! I just went on vacation and lived on coffee and tequila, I'm still recovering from that one!

2) What was your biggest fitness accomplishment this summer?
I guess it is an accomplishment to not be going into fall totally out of shape! I do need to start kicking my own butt and getting after it! I have really been enjoying Crossfit 791; however, its really not great for climbing. Time to dust off my climbing training log. The summer has been great, not terribly accomplished but great, and this September is going to get me back on track! Gear up for deep fall and a month of climbing this winter!

3) What is your biggest nutritional accomplishment this summer?
Finishing whole 30! That was much harder then I though it would be, but totally worth it. I felt great and lost almost 10lbs.

4) What are your goals for September:
I am about to leave on a climbing trip this Thursday. I would really like to fill up my nature tank. I have this need to get really secluded every once in a while and I'm hoping this trip hits the spot. I would also like to visit a few more alpine lakes before the season fully changes. As for climbing I am going to be restarting my training program toward the end of the month, timing the end of it and peak performance at the beginning of February, where I will be spending the month in Spain sport climbing!
Nutrition: the goal is always more water! I also have been attempting to eat clean (this last week has been a huge fail!)

4) What is the most challenging thing  your trainer has told you?
The most challenging thing Andrea's told me (which is also common sense) you’re only going to lose weight and fat if you work off more than you eat. That’s so hard. No workout for the day means I really have to watch my calories!

I can't think of anything challenging. If anything they motivate me to reach my goals. I have seen so much improvement since the beginning of the year, not only physically, but mentally. I push myself to get out of my comfort zone.

Jorge & Daniella – brother & sister team extraordinaire from  Anytime Fitness:
Daniella’s 2018 Goals:

Weight: to see the numbers keep going down
Went down from last month!

Exercise: to keep your routine and inspire others

Nutrition: get more protein in your diet
I have been doing a lot better with my protein intake.

Goals for May could have been much better! Been struggling with some things here and there but I can only learn from them and try different ways that fits my goals and schedule best.

3) What are your June goals?:
To keep shredding the fat, keep building my muscles, stay healthy, hydrated, active ! And always keep an open mind to try different things.

4) What was the most challenging thing your trainer has told you?
The most challenging thing Chris from AF has told me to work on is building my muscle. I've been losing my muscle mass and it had a lot to do with my intermittent fasting routine, which I loved. I would fast during my working hours, cause it makes the most sense considering I work 7pm -530am and once i get home I sleep until noon. With it being a physically demanding job (mostly cardio), he told me I need to fuel myself during those times so I don't lose muscle. The challenging part about it is giving up intermittent fasting cause I grew very fond of the routine and results. But, hey, you do what you got to do right?

Ace Bollinger from CrosSport:
2018 Goals:

Weight: 240
Not quite yet

Exercise: 20 PLUS
I've been quite regular at the gym, and we walked over 50 miles on our East coast trip.

Trying ...but summer is hard not to suck down a cool one!

3) What are your June goals?:
Headed to Hawaii the last part of the month, so trying my best to stay the course!
Best scenario is to maintain.  Gym visits? At least 20. I have 6 i'n so far, with 2 bike rides.
Still tracking weight and food choices, and want to come into fall time around 240. Many bike rides this summer should help that.

2) Did you meet your May goals:
Getting my knee/I T band issue looked at. Praying for no surgery and speedy recovery.
No comment

Weight: 195 which will include an increase in muscle. 
No, but I am under 200!

Exercise: We are gone the last two weeks of the month so my goal during that time is a daily walk on the beach.

Nutrition: Continue to work on getting my protein increases to help me build more muscle and my vacation goal is to try to not gain any weight. 
I am doing a new eating plan (8th day now, to shake my body up) - I have never eaten so many veggies and so much protien in my life as the last 8 days

3) What are your June goals:
For the rest of June I'm hoping to gain more muscle but no weight goal - I guess under 195 would be nice but my metabolism is not cooperating, so if I just gain muscle I will be thrilled.

May Check-In:
1.Stats:
Still weigh 230, Ive been battling a leg injury for the past two months and it still hasn’t gone away so we’re waiting on an update on that, lifts are all mostly still the same.

2. Did you meet your May goals to:
Maintain weight: Yes, I met my May goal, even though I can’t work out how I want, I still weigh enough and feel good.

Exercise: Get stronger. Bench 270
Yes. I benched 275 pounds so that’s a new PR, hoping to get to 315 once my leg gets totally healed and I can start heavy lifting again.

3. What are your June goals?:
June goals are to get healthy, my leg injury keeps coming back and I need to deal with it ASAP.

4. What is the most challenging thing your trainer has told you?
The most challenging thing is probably that all the work comes from me. He can give me all the tools and workouts to succeed, but at the end of the day I have to grit my teeth and get to work. It’s humbling, but empowering, my future is in my own hands.
