RebelHealth

RebelHealth is a part of our company that encompasses both the philosophy we embrace at CrossFit Rebels as well as our own (your coaches’)  lifestyles. RebelHealth takes a look at nutrition, diet, our environment, the media and advertising claims, the RDA for nutrients, our habits, our challenges, and possibly our addictions and obsessions with food.

It helps those wanting to improve their health, understand what they know and don’t know (ah ha! what you don’t know?), how food works, why we crave certain foods, what “real food” is, and most importantly, how to change your mind set and your routine so that you are always prepared with healthy meals and snacks.  And our definition of healthy might not match yours!

 
 

YOU MUST “INVEST” IN YOUR HEALTH.  MAKE A COMMITMENT

You’ll find there’s an investment required…both personal (time) and financial (money), but like any “investment”, you do it so it pays dividends in the future.  And that’s what RebelHealth does.  It arms you with knowledge and prepares you so you know what to do – what to eat – how to prepare…how to find the best deals on Paleo foods…whether you choose to follow what you know is right or not is for another time! THERE’S NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH KNOWLEDGE.  We will invest with you – but not without you.  In other words, if you’re committed, so are we.  If you’re looking for someone to do this for you, you’re in the wrong place.

 

 
 

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

We’re not a subscription site, we’re not a private blog, and we don’t keep our theories on nutrition, the outcomes and successes, or how we run things a secret.  We put it all out there for you to see, whether you’re an athlete at our box or not.  Our Paleo Challenges are huge successes!  In fact, they’re an absolute blast to be a part of, they work, and their educational.  From our forms to point systems to the summary of our kickoff seminars,  we operate along the premises of CrossFit where knowledge regarding our health and fitness should be out there for everyone to see, not kept a secret.   So, yes, we will (and have already been) copied by other boxes, and that’s OK.  Really, it’s fine.  Each of the Paleo Challenges we’ve done have evolved and continue to get more informative and more effective.  It’s OK that our format, forms, and our three new keys to success will be “borrowed” (right!) by other gyms to make their Challenges more effective, because after all, it’s all about making us healthier right?  All of us.

 
 

CHALLENGE YOURSELF!  

Try The Paleo Diet for 30 days!  30 days…one month…a small time commitment for the beginning of a lifetime of health!  30 days to eliminate food addictions, food allergies, gut-damaging foods…doesn’t sound that hard, right?  Every few months we “launch” into a structured Paleo Challenge here at the box, but if you want to try it yourself, all you need is a little time to plan, a guideline from which to plan your meals, some support, and the desire to be as healthy as possible!
