A GOOD COACH CHANGES EVERYTHING. 💪

You can walk into a gym and figure out the exercises on your own. But a coach gives you something you can’t get from a workout app:

Accountability. Someone who notices when you’re missing.
Support. Someone who believes in you when you’re struggling.
Safety. Someone watching your movement and helping you train smart.
Progress. Someone who knows when to push you and when to pull you back.
Confidence. Someone who helps you do things you never thought you could.

You don’t just need someone to count your reps. You need someone in your corner.

That’s what a coach does. ❤️

PS - don't forget to catch Jaime's class Wednesday at 9am!!

🍽️ Busy schedules often lead to skipped meals, afternoon crashes, and overeating later in the day.

Instead of trying to "be good" by eating less, focus on eating consistently.

Balanced meals help: ✅ Improve energy ✅ Support workouts ✅ Improve focus ✅ Reduce cravings

Remember: consistency beats perfection every time.

Whitebelt Athletics Nutrition Coaching helps you create a nutrition plan that works in real life, not just on your best days.

Meet Coach Michael Browne 👋

If you’ve been around the Chattanooga CrossFit community for a while, there’s a good chance you already know Michael Browne. And we’re excited to officially welcome him to the Whitebelt Athletics coaching team!

Michael started CrossFit as an athlete in 2012 and began coaching just one year later in 2013. Since then, he’s spent more than a decade competing, coaching, and putting in the work.

His competition resume is a long one. 🏆 He won his first competition, Battle of the Barbells in Nashville, in 2013, has earned numerous partner and team podium finishes, competed on regional teams in 2014 and 2016, and was part of the first team in the world to finish the 2016 CrossFit Regionals Sn**ch Ladder.

He’s also competed extensively in Olympic Weightlifting, because apparently doing one strength sport wasn’t enough. 😂

His favorite benchmarks depend on the day, but Grace, The Total, Diane, The Other Total and Nate all make the list.

His least favorite movement? Burpees. “The most awful movement!” 😂

Michael is also a Fitness Instructor at Echelon, and we’re excited to add his experience, knowledge, and passion for the sport to our coaching team.

Welcome to Whitebelt, Coach Michael! 🖤

💧 Feeling tired, hungry, or struggling through workouts?
You might not need more food—you might need more water.

Even mild dehydration can impact:
✅ Energy levels
✅ Exercise performance
✅ Recovery
✅ Concentration
✅ Hunger and cravings

A simple hydration check:
👀 Is your urine light yellow?
🥤 Are you drinking consistently throughout the day?
🏋️ Are you replacing fluids lost during exercise?

Try carrying a water bottle with you and taking a few sips every hour rather than trying to chug water all at once.

Remember: Nutrition isn't just about what you eat—it's also about how well you're hydrated.

Whitebelt Athletics Nutrition Coaching helps our clients build simple, sustainable habits that improve performance, recovery, and overall health.

📩 Ready to feel your best both in and out of the gym? Let's create a plan that works for YOUR lifestyle.

💧 Dehydration can impact your energy, recovery, workouts, and even hunger levels.

Before reaching for another cup of coffee, ask yourself:

✔ Have I had enough water today?
✔ Am I carrying a water bottle regularly?
✔ Am I replacing fluids after exercise or sweating?

Sometimes the missing piece isn't another supplement. It's better hydration habits.

Need help optimizing performance and recovery?

Whitebelt Athletics Nutrition Coaching provides personalized guidance to help you perform at your best in and out of the gym.
