Last week the Chico ER published a brief article on the current philosophy in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science, at Chico State.  “Out with the diet”… the title, and the current mantra of dietitians in the department, suggests that people should listen to their body—and let hunger signals guide food consumption. 

As you all know we are living in a “recession”. That is what the government calls it anyway. My feeling is that they are too scared to call it like it is; a depression.

A shout out to all of the lifters who have been consistently training in our weightlifting classes!  We are seeing some great progress on the platforms!

I am so excited! Thanks to you and all of my amazing trainers for your support. I have never been part of something so supportive and positive and I am proud to be a part of Crossfit NorCal. I will continue to be dedicated and work my ass off and hopefully make you all proud! Thanks again!

When I first called you guys last March looking for a trainer I had no idea
what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that I had let myself go for
a couple of years, hated “regular” gyms and this sounded like a better
option. I had never actually done any sort of regimented working out, and as
you will probably recall Nicki, I was scared. You oh so wisely paired me up
with Angela and here I am almost 7 months later, skinny as I’ve been in 20
years and stronger and more fit than I’ve probably ever been. Thanks for
making a 40+ year old proud of herself again. And a special thanks to Angela
for kicking my butt a few times a week. I love it!

My journey with Natalie Taylor began when my seven year old patted my tummy and told me I was blubbery.  Ouch!  My goal when I met with Natalie was to get in shape.  She developed my program based on my fitness level at that time.  I always felt encouraged and I found that I really liked learning how to use my body correctly.  I have also gained strength, while learning proper form, so that I can do day to day tasks without injury.  I was able to help my husband lift our big gas bar-be-cue off the deck, it was easy and I didn’t get hurt. When I do yard work I don’t suffer the usual aches and pains of the past.  I no longer wake up each morning feeling sore and stiff.  I have never felt better in my forties! I cannot say enough about the great experience I have had working out at CrossFit NorCal with Natalie!  I encourage anyone who wants to really get in shape to contact her today.  What are you waiting for?
