Do Ergogenic Aids Help or Hinder Athletic Performance?

by Ellie Huff, RD, Dale Huff, CSCS
A review of the scientific research and the safety concerns regarding some of today’s most popular performance-enhancing dietary supplements.
Almost daily, people ask fitness professionals about the latest and greatest dietary supplements that claim to enhance physical performance. Although it is outside the scope of practice of personal trainers and fitness instructors ever to recommend a particular ergogenic aid to anyone, clients want to know if these products produce the results promised in the ads. http://www.ideafit.com/fitness-library/do-ergogenic-aids-help-or-hinder-athletic-performance

I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging.  I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training.  The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks.  If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
