Nutrition Counseling Services with Hannah Freese, R.D.
Hannah is a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist. She uses nutrition counseling to help people resolve their health problems by changing the way they eat. She has 11 years' experience as a clinical dietitian; working in Seattle, WA, and Denver, CO before moving with her family to beautiful Montrose in 2012. Her specialties are weight loss and gastrointestinal disorders. Her signature "3-Keys Method" will optimize your hormone control in four short weeks, so that you can burn fat and keep it off, without giving up your favorite foods or counting calories. Hannah's "3-Keys Method" works for both men and women seeking to lose weight and who may have failed at past attempts on their own. For GI disorders, each client is assessed individually and a Medical Nutrition Therapy Protocol is developed to help identify your specific food issue and help resolve your pain and discomfort. Although she is a medical professional, you can request to work with Hannah without a referral from your physician. Her clients get the support they need, the results they want, and best of all, the confidence that they have what it takes to do what's best for their health.

Get ready for cross-country skiing at the CRC
The CRC has acquired a Concept 2 Skierg just in time to get you in shape for winter cross-country skiing. Cross-country skiing is a great full-body workout and Nordic skiers commonly have some of the highest aerobic capacities of any athletes. The Skierg brings the challenge of Nordic skiing indoors in a low-impact workout that is accessible for nearly everyone. Since there are no moving skis attached to your feet, even those with limited balance or lower extremity mobility issues can use the machine. There are even extendable handles that enable adaptive athletes or those who have problems standing in place to utilize the machine from a seated or kneeling position. Make sure to swing by the CRC Fitness Area and take a spin on the Skierg before the outdoor trails are open.
Fitness Instructors and Substitute Instructors Needed
MRD is still in need of certified fitness instructors to instruct or substitute instruct multiple different class formats including Spinning, TRX, Strength & Conditioning, Mat Pilates, and Zumba. If you are a certified instructor or are interested in becoming certified, please contact John Wagner (970) 497-8565 to discuss potential openings and available class times.
