If you’ve ever heard the term “ultra processed” and wondered exactly what that means, this organization out of France has put together a clear report that explains it all, including how we got here and the dangers to our health. It’s free and highly informative. We thought you might be interested to read it. You can find it here (in English, with no email needed): https://yuka.io/en/ultra-processed-foods-dossier/

In fact, according to thousands of studies reported regularly by Dr. Michael Greger at the nonprofit Nutrition Facts [dot] org, many of the diseases we see today can be attributed to consuming these highly processed “foods.” There are numerous health problems that can be greatly improved by simply changing what we eat to include more whole plant foods and avoiding (or completely eliminating) these highly processed chemical-laden products.

Yuka, the publisher of this report, makes an app that’s free to download and makes knowing if something includes safe or unsafe ingredients - both for what you put in and on your body in the form of food as well as cosmetics, sunscreens, shampoos, and other topical products for your skin and hair. We thought you might like to know!

Ultra-processed foods Over the past few decades, our diet has changed profoundly. A large share of the products that now fill supermarket shelves simply did not exist a century ago: sodas, sweetened breakfast cereals, snacks, nuggets, instant meals… These so-called “ultra-processed” foods now occupy a central role ...

Today we remember and honor those who gave their lives in service of our great nation. Before the BBQ, we hope you’ll join us in a prayer for the repose of all those who served and never came home.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and honorary “gym moms” of Flexx Fitness! ❤️

One of the greatest blessings of this business is getting to spend time with some of the strongest women I’ve ever known. Many of you have raised families, spoiled grandbabies, cared for others your entire lives, and still show up ready to work hard, laugh loud, and encourage everybody around you.

You are proof that strength doesn’t come from age… it comes from heart, grit, wisdom, and a stubborn refusal to quit. 💪

Whether you’re chasing grandchildren, taking care of family, or making everybody in the gym feel loved and welcomed, today we celebrate YOU.

Thank you for the encouragement, the stories, the laughter, and for proving every single day that strong never gets old.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Flexx Fitness! 🌷

Huge shoutout to one of our own for an incredible performance at today’s powerlifting competition! 🏋️‍♂️💪
​Watching the hard work from the studio translate to the platform is what it’s all about. Finishing the day 8 for 9 is a testament to incredible focus and technical discipline. To top it off, hitting 2 Personal Bests shows exactly what happens when you stay driven and trust the process.
​The grit and determination on display today were next level. Join us in congratulating them on a massive achievement! Penny Telfer... this one's for you😎
