One of our members @Keith Lopez shared this awesome photo of their Michael Dean Fitness water bottle, and I thought it was too cool not to share 😎🏔️ I love seeing our community taking healthy habits with them wherever life takes them - whether that’s the gym, the office, or halfway up a mountain. Now I’m curious… Where has everyone traveled this summer? 🌎 Drop a photo or tell us where you’ve been! I’d love to see where The Movement Lab has been represented this year.

If you're just joining, be sure to introduce yourself! 👋 I’m Michael. Originally from Knoxville, Tennessee. I spent 7 years in New York City, then made my way back to Tennessee during the pandemic. I’ve been training for over 14 years now, so at this point it’s just part of who I am. My favorite dessert is donuts 🍩 Glad to have all of you here. Let’s keep building this thing 💪

If you couldn’t join us, I’ve attached a recap with some of the questions we covered, along with my notes and answers. Take a look when you have a chance, and I’ll see you at the next one!

Hi All! Let’s play a game! Please list your biggest obstacle holding you back from achieving your fitness goals right now! And then if anyone else can relate to this obstacle, instead of giving advice, please share how you personally have overcame this hurdle yourself or if this is also a current obstacle to you as well! Sound good? I’ll start: My biggest struggle right now is sticking to my food plan consistently. I do well for a while but then I fall off track. Anyone else deal with this?

Spent a week in the Outer Banks! On the beach everyday didn’t even go out to eat….
