Meg and Sarah welcomed Melissa Stevenson, the owner of Desire Fitness for a conversation about her approach to a healthy balanced lifestyle. The name of the company should be familiar to you if you follow us on social media as she is our talented photographer. Melissa graduated from Nait with a diploma in business administration and photographic technology, which she attended on a hockey scholarship and that is where her she fell in love with fitness and nutrition. In 2015 she entered her first bikini competition and her last year of competition was in 2018 where she placed 2nd in Canada! From there she continued to focus on building her business by focusing on women's health, and designing custom programming for overall health and wellness.  

The ladies discuss the mental toll it takes to compete on that level, the importance of nourishing your body with healthy food, how you can achieve your diet goals despite busy schedules and of course some tips for the holiday's too. Movement is truly medicine but it's incredible how great you will feel if you combine it with foods that fuel your ability to be well which is why we are so excited for our collaboration coming this January! 

We challenge you to complete 20 classes in the month of January and we wanted to take it one step deeper and invited Desire Fitness to challenge you to four weekly nutrition goals! We will be celebrating as a group on January 31st as we give away some amazing prizes to go with it! Member's can join the challenge for free and non-member's can join for only $135 which includes unlimited access to both online and in studio classes.

In the meantime we highly recommend you check out Melissa and all of the great things she is offering through Desire Fitness and her blog which has some amazing recipes that are both gluten and dairy free!
