Since 2017 I have been dealing with several health crises, including two separate diagnoses of breast cancer, brain tumors, and a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. These things changed my regular exercise routine and left me feeling tired, and I no longer felt comfortable in my skin as I tried to emotionally and physically work through all of the body changes. As soon as I was cleared to start really exercising again, I came and enrolled in Exercise is Medicine to find a realistic starting place, and I have never looked back.
Changes I have seen are my balance and cardio stamina have greatly improved, as well as my core stability. My self-awareness and how I feel about my physical changes has greatly improved.
I am always greeted at the front desk by Jeremy with a beautiful smile, kind words which start the day off great. Ali Cooper worked with me in the Exercise is Medicine program and helped me set realistic goals, and was great encouragement. Keith Davis in yoga is awesome at what he does to support emotional well-being and encourage building core strength and balance.
The facility and all that it has to offer is great. One of the greatest assets are other people who come daily to work out. I love the smiles and encouragement others give in class and on the track.

"I’ve been an avid jogger all my life until I reached my 60’s. After gaining weight, my joints couldn’t tolerate the pavement pounding any longer. My doctor recommended swimming as an alternative exercise. I joined the Lift & started a swimming workout program in their lap pool. After 3 months of daily workouts, I realized the only way to lose the weight I wanted was to change my eating habits. So I decided to give the HMR program a try. It’s been by far, the easiest & quickest weight loss program I’ve ever been on. After just 12 weeks, I have lost over 50+ pounds. In the past, making my own food decisions was my downfall when trying to lose weight. The HMR program is so easy to follow & basically decision free --
I love it!! "

Sam & Hollie
"If you go to the LIFT regularly, you have surely seen us, or heard us, coming through the doors on the regular. So it's definitely time for an introduction. Samuel and Hollie Stockdale, Homeschoolers with 4 children ranging from 11 to 10 months old.
We joined Crossfit together the day after Thanksgiving on a journey together to strengthen our physical, mental, and spiritual connection. Lack of family support has the two of us raising a family without any outside help, so the intensity of Crossfit is really a blessing in allowing time for our own self-development and reflection. We both share the goal of strengthening our relationship with Jesus Christ, each other as a couple, and continuing to grow our family together.

Using herbs in your cooking is an impactful way to elevate the flavor of your food as well as the health benefits. Herbs contain antioxidants and may reduce inflammation in the body. Using herbs or spices to flavor your food makes it easier to cut back on salt, sugar, or fat without missing it, potentially improving your blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol levels. With all these benefits, there’s no wonder there is an entire week in May dedicated to celebrating herbs!
Herbs are the green parts of the plant that can be used as food, medicine, or for flavoring. Herbs can be used fresh or dried. Some examples may be basil, parsley, rosemary, sage, or thyme. Dried herbs tend to have a stronger taste than fresh, so you may not need to use as much of the dried herb. One source suggests one teaspoon of dried herb is equivalent to four teaspoons of the fresh version. Spices on the other hand come from the non-leafy part of the plant like the seed, bark, root, or stem. Common spices are ginger, peppercorn, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Using both herbs and spices can be important for providing plenty of flavor to your favorite dish.
Herbs have the added benefit of not needing to be ground or dried in order to be used. They are fairly easy to grow, and can be planted in the ground or a small pot on a kitchen window. Growing herbs in your kitchen makes it even easier to reach over and grab a pinch to throw in your recipe. You may be surprised how often you use them! Herbs are great to add into soups, breads, marinades, butters, sauces, and salad dressing, and that’s just the beginning. Here’s a recipe to get you started on using more herbs and spices in your cooking!
