SugarWOD and OptimizeMe Nutrition Partner on Our First Nutrition Challenge!

Share

Driving nutrition habit changes for members requires regular and consistent education and community support. Nutrition challenges can be a great method to facilitate those changes and now that we’re in the post-Open lull, it’s the perfect time to kick off summer with a fun, community event! A nutrition challenge offers friendly competition to encourage better eating habits and provides an opportunity to build community with the end result of improving your athlete’s nutrition, and by default, their fitness.
We’re all about helping gyms develop stronger communities, which is why we’re partnering with EC Synkowski of OptimizeMe Nutrition to host our first nutrition challenge on SugarWOD—the #800gChallenge. EC has an M.S. in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine and is a Certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach (CF-L4). EC knows what she’s doing and understands CrossFit athletes. 
The challenge is limited to the first 20 sign-ups to ensure that it’s a great experience for everyone.

What is the #800gChallenge?

It’s a method to guide healthy eating without the obsession of unsustainable and overly-strict diets. Each day, participants eat a total of 800 grams by weight of fruits and/or vegetables. Cooked, raw, frozen, canned, all fruits, all vegetables, low-carb, high-carb—doesn’t matter! It’s up to the athlete. How much is 800 grams? It fits on a standard dinner plate and is about 6 cups.

That’s it! No foods are off limits, so long as the athlete eats their fruits and veggies. Want all the nitty-gritty rules? See here.
This challenge offers your gym a pre-built nutrition challenge for your members, delivered by SugarWOD, constructed by an experienced nutritionist, that leverages the social engagement tools and leaderboards that your members love inside the SugarWOD app. Plus! This challenge also provides you an awesome, community-building product to sell to your members!
