Fuel + Fitness
This is a complete program for shaping up! So many people focus only on exercise or only on what they eat. That's all well and good, but the most successful approach to making a lasting, permanent change is to address both sides of the equation: what to eat and how to exercise. This program does that. It teaches you how to eat and also gives you an exercise plan tailored to your individual needs.
Sandra Koulourides is our nutritionist and a fitness specialist who has worked as a registered dietician for ten years. She has also taught group exercise classes for over twenty years. Sandra's focus is on sports nutrition and wellness.

Health Coaching is about bridging the gap between where you are, and where you want to be. It’s where science meets psychology… or as we like to say, it's where we “train the mind and the body will follow.” Through a brief assessment, our trained health coaches help you evaluate your current health behaviors, identify behaviors you want to improve, set realistic goals and then show you how to measure your progress. Health Coaching begins with a goal setting session where you lay out your plan. Then your health coach will touch base with you periodically to assess your progress and keep you motivated. Health Coaching focus areas are: Activity, Nutrition & Lifestyle Balance E-Book: To provide additional support, we provide free learning opportunities through our Pathways Health Coaching
E-Book. Topics include: Busy Family Active Tips, Designing a Walking Plan, Fitness in Stages, Home Workout, Travel Workout Tips, Stretching Diagram, Active Living Resource Guide, Food, Travel Eating Tips, Busy Family Meal Tips, Eat for More Energy, Grab a Snack, Nutrition Risk Quiz, Boost Your Metabolism, Portion Proof Your Environment, Healthier Eating Resource Guide, Balance, Depression, Diabetes Risk Quiz, Sleep, Stress, Anxiety, Balanced Lifestyle Resource Guide.
