Recovery- The secret to greater results!

September 12, 2017

Dale Huff

Many of our clients and student-athletes completely undervalue the importance of recovery in order for the body to super compensate after a hard workout or training schedule. The importance of a regular sleep schedule with at least 8 hours of sleep; consistent mobility work such as foam rolling or massage; and flexibility. Recovery is always incomplete without adequate nutrition- pre- and post-workout. Some of our clients are time crunched and putting off meals to get to practice, eating on the run, or rushing out of the house and skipping breakfast. These behaviors lead to low glycogen stores and inadequate muscle repair. Not only are you not ready for your next workout, you didn’t maximize the results of your last one- it is a vicious cycle.
We are working on a program to help you fine tune your recovery strategies and want to introduce you to the first product we will be carrying to assist us in this goal. Please visit http://hyperice.com/solutions to learn about the greatest foam roll ever invented- it incorporates the science of vibration therapy into the rolling experience to enhance your results. For now, we will be retailing these in our pro-shop, but will also be incorporating into some of our personal training sessions and FIT program. email daleh@nutriformance.com if you want me to put your name on one before they come in.
If you want to get a handle on your nutrition, we offer a 1x month 60-minute nutrition coaching session. Why do you have a financial adviser, lawyer and hair stylist, if you don’t have someone helping you improve your health and productivity through proper nutrition?
If you think recovery isn’t important, please purchase this book and read it straight from two guys who burned out before they were even 30 years old. Luckily for us that it happened as they wrote an amazing book. Don’t let this happen to you! here is the book: Peak Performance- Brad Stulberg and the link below.

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.
