  • 'Just Walking' Is 'Just' the First Step

    ‘Just Walking’ Is ‘Just’ the First Step We’re often asked if just walking isn’t “good enough” for people over 50. The short answer is: Nope. Sorry, but it’s not. Walking IS a great first step – pun intended. So, if you’re thinking of starting an exercise program, then yes – get up and go for a walk. Or, if you’ve been walking more than normal during the last year because of business of the pandemic, then now is the time to take that next step. Strength training, for instance, can’t be ignored later in life. First, here’s what’s so great about walking. ....

  • Get Your Protein Through These Veggies

    These Veggies Pack Plenty of Protein When we think about eating enough protein, we usually think about meat, poultry and eggs. But plenty of vegetables are also great sources of protein, and can help us reach our goal. Doctors say most people need 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight to keep the muscle they have. But, since we lose muscle as we age through life, older people need 1.2 grams per pound. Why is that? Well, protein keeps us strong so we can maintain our strength for the activities of daily living – like getting up off the toilet, recovering our balance so we don’t fall, and bringing in the groceries, to boil it down to the bare ....

  • The #1 Reason You Don't Want to Lift Weights (And What to Do About It)

    There’s No Reason to be Intimidated Here Mike is 70 now and has been working out in gyms for years. The former Marine is healthy, happy, and super-enthusiastic about exercise. But it wasn’t always so. The first time Mike walked into a gym, some 30 years ago, he felt intimidated by the people who looked stronger and seemed to know what they were doing. There were so many machines he didn’t know where to start. “I thought, ‘I’m gonna look like an idiot. Everybody’s gonna laugh at me,’” Mike recalls. Does that sound familiar to you? Is that fear of the unknown – or possible “gym-timidation” ....

  • Study Confirms That Regular Activity Helps Us Fight COVID-19

    Study Confirms That Regular Activity Helps Us Fight Covid-19 We’ve been saying it all along. But now it’s good to have scientific proof that regular exercise makes us stronger to fight off viruses like Covid-19. Doctors found that people who had been inactive before contracting the coronavirus were more likely to be hospitalized, require intensive care, and even die, according to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine . Even though we kept hearing about aggravating factors like diabetes and high blood pressure, we didn’t hear a lot of urgings about getting regular exercise. So this is welcome news – and one ....

Get Started On Your Transformation With EP Fitness!

David Nelson

EP Fitness is a great small gym. I joined EP almost a year ago and it was a great way to kick start my workout regime. I was generally running and swimming but was getting bored with my workouts. Once I started attending the semi private training classes, I felt more motivated and excited about working out than I had in years.
The class sizes were reduced to 5 or 6 people a class to make social distancing easier.  This also provided an opportunity to start incorporating weight training into the sessions. Both Cody and Jake are great at walking you through your workout and the small group atmosphere provides encouragement as well as accountability.
There are also "challenges" held during the year to help motivate you and change things up. Cody and Jake are also great at making the program work for you whether you are new to working out or have experience, the mixture is always challenging but adjusted to meet you goals and abilities.  So whether you need help with diet, exercise, accountability or a combination, I suggest you give this small gym a try.

Best gym to be a part of. It has been a long time since I’ve enjoyed working out and at 42 years old it has been hard to get that enjoyment back. EP has brought that enjoyment back to me. The encouraging atmosphere makes you push yourself beyond limits you didn’t think you could reach. The coaches Cody, Shane, and Jacklyn know what they are doing in the fitness and nutrition world. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

In August I came back after a year hiatus from EP. Since I had stepped away in September of 2019, i packed on 30 lbs and knew I needed to do something immediately. Thankfully Coach Cody has always been welcoming, encouraging and supportive and got me right back into the gym working on new goals. He pushes not only physically but mentally too. EP provides the whole weight loss support with one on one sessions, semi-privates with encouraging members, nutritional guidance, off day workouts, and helping you look inside to address your own challenges (self-sabotage). While Ill admit its pricy, its totally worth the long term health benefits!
