This week, your hosts are excited to welcome Crystal Clardy to the podcast! Crystal is an online health and fitness coach (and a self-proclaimed carbs and caffeine enthusiast). Like many coaches, Crystal has been through many different phases of fitness and that journey led her to the work she does today.
A unique part of Crystal's journey (and a huge reason she's joining Kylie and Kara this week), however, is that she is a former Orangetheory coach. Many women turn to group fitness for fat loss, and while Kylie, Kara, and Crystal all agree that there are many ways to live an active lifestyle... group fitness may not be the best (or most effective) option for your aesthetic goals.
Crystal provides insight from having been deep in the OT scene, and they discuss all things group fitness and your fat loss pursuits. They cover the pros and appeal of group fitness classes such as Orangetheory, and then dive into the issues with using it as your main workout method if body composition changes are your goal.
If you’ve been relying on group fitness classes that leave you sweaty and “feeling the burn”, but don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere in terms of progress, this episode is for you!
