SEPTEMBER RENEGADE OF THE MONTH

What is your background?
I started my healthy lifestyle journey 15 years ago. After finishing my undergraduate work and starting my first teaching position I had developed a lot of poor diet and exercise habits. I was unhealthy, lacked energy, and did not feel comfortable in my body. I started off by giving up soda pop and lost 20 pounds with zero effort. I felt better, but still had further to go. 8 years ago when I started my current teaching position at Sylvania School I made it a goal to run my first 5k without stopping. I had been a track coach for a number of years and always felt I was cheating by not running and working out with my athletes. I’ve always felt a coach should ....

AUGUST RENEGADE OF THE MONTH

Shannon Nowak
What brought me to Renegade Fitness?
I have always belonged to a gym, and did strength training on my own or with friends. I think I started in 2012, my friend Megan and I heard about Renegade, and wanted to try it out. I honestly went into it thinking that if this is like an aerobics class, I am out. I also thought, I run and do strength training…I got this. Well, I was put in my place real quick. It was NOT like any other group workouts that I have experienced. I knew being around fitness for most of my adult life that Chris and Jen, were not like any other trainers. They were educated, they cared about each member and wanted to see success for them. ....

JULY RENEGADE OF THE MONTH

Teresa and Mike Walkovich
What brought you to Renegade Fitness in the first place?
I first came to Renegade with a friend in 2013 at 45 yrs old. I had gained almost 30 lbs after having my three daughters which I was having trouble losing, and I was stressed out trying to care for my elderly parents as an only child prior to their passing. I had already embarked on a fitness journey with a private trainer but I was looking for a friendly, social environment with more consistency and accountability. Mike joined me a few months later as we were looking for ways to grow as a couple, spend more time together, as well as getting healthier together. What is your favorite part ....

QUICK AND EFFECTIVE MINIMAL EQUIPMENT WORKOUTS

QUICK AND EFFECTIVE MINIMAL EQUIPMENT WORKOUTS JUNE 16, 2019 BY RENEGADE
It’s super important to start any workout with a little warm-up. Not only does a warm-up get your heart rate elevated and increase your body temperature, it gets your joints and muscles ready to go! You’ll have a safer, more effective workout if you prepare your body to move beforehand. Here is a standard warm up that you can use before any of the following workouts- Glute bridge 1 x 20 Side Plank 1 x 20 sec each side Spiderman Lunge 1 x10 each side Reverse Lunge 1 x10 each side Hinge/Squat 1 x 10 each side Jumping Jacks or Jog in Place x 1:00 min WORKOUT 1 ....

Where do I even start? Renegade has become much more than a gym to me. Besides the obvious great workouts, it’s the people that make Renegade so much more than a gym. I’ve gained so many great friendships that started while breaking a sweat at Renegade. Obviously, the coaches are pretty great too. Chris, Jen, and Chuck always keep me on my toes with new exercises that keep me coming back for more.

Christian Bloomfield

The supportive structure they have built has kept me coming. The coaches do not treat us like a number or look at us as a dollar sign like the “big box” gyms. We are treated with kindness and respect. The coaches care about us. They all take the time to understand our movements to help us with all the exercises used. No one can be successful if there is not someone there help understand and help you move towards any fitness goal. That’s why I continue to come to Renegade!

Lisa Gretzinger

I absolutely love Renegade! I started off taking part in two Balanced Habits Kick Start programs and the Balanced Habits Life Nutrition program. I learned quickly I will see results if I stick with the program. I learned so much from these programs plus I really looked forward to being able to participate in the group sessions.
