Laid-back Fitness

Laid-back Fitness, LLC was founded by Ryan McGowan.  His background in Engineering influences a systematic approach to training as it applies to overall health.  When designing workouts at LbF, our trainers think outside the box and consider mood, surroundings, and client enjoyment! The main principles of our approach:

•Philosophy: eat, move, play and rest as humans were programmed (with compromises made based on one’s hobbies and personal priorities).

•Goals for clients: improve body composition, reduce risk of injury by improving posture and flexibility, develop more agility and athleticism, improve performance, and increase body awareness with all means to the end goal of the highest quality of life for as long as possible!

•Methodology: establish/improve healthy eating habits preferably from local and natural sources, guide clients through challenging and unpredictable workouts, and teach “skill” of different movements with emphasis on safe and efficient form.

The point of this blog is to track our exercise, nutrition, and “play” activities.  We hope to inspire people to become healthier and improve their quality of life without being obsessive.  We believe a healthy lifestyle involves eating responsibly for the majority of our calorie intake, being active (preferably outside) doing things we enjoy, and taking time to relax and take it slow when our bodies give us that message.
