LIVE LIFE FIT
CLIENT OF THE MONTH
Christy Fennessy
October 2016
Congratulations to our Client of the Month, Christy Fennessy! Christy came to our studio as an avid athlete and fitness instructor; however, she wanted to improve her strength and reach new levels. Therefore, Christy began to work with Adam Gil, and with his help, she was able to get stronger and fitter.
Christy recently completed a five-hour endurance event called the GO RUCK Light. That wasn’t enough, though, so she followed in Adam’s footsteps and did a GO RUCK Tough. GO RUCK Tough lasted 11 hours and consisted of 2,090 stairs, 17 miles, no sleep, carrying weight in her backpack and other weights along with her team. “The stairs were definitely the hardest part, but I felt ready, thanks to Adam’s brutal workouts,” Christy says.
Great job, Christy – we are proud of your hard work and dedication!
Heat, along with light and oxygen, can destroy the beneficial fats in some oils. Polyunsaturated fats are the most fragile and are not recommended for cooking. Coconut oil, being mainly a saturated fat, is able to withstand higher temperatures than other oils, making it one of the best oils for cooking. It also gives a delicious taste and superb texture to foods. (http://healthyeating.sfgate.com)
At Fit Chow Atlanta, coconut oil is the only oil being used during any cooking that requires high heat. To try Fit Chow, visit our website at www.FitChowAtlanta.com.
This week marked two years since opening the doors to the Brad Kolowich Jr Personal Training Studio! Since the grand opening in 2012, the luxury private personal training studio has added two trainers, expanded the workout space, added multiple pieces of new equipment and continues to add special touches that rank it among the top fitness studio’s in Atlanta. The picture below features the six trainers who currently train in Brad Kolowich Jr’s Fitness Studio.

In celebration of the second birthday of Brad’s fitness studio, we sent our clients off with a HEALTHY post-workout protein cake ball! Below is my secret recipe for an easy and healthy post-workout treat.
1/3 cup chocolate whey protein
1/4 cup dry milk
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp peanut butter
sugar free chocolate (or dark chocolate)
(water as needed)
Mix all ingredients together and add water slowly, until it forms a cookie dough consistency. Scoop dough out using a tablespoon. Form balls and place on wax paper sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Freeze for 30+ minutes. Eat as is for a healthy, high-protein, low carb snack OR dip coat in melted chocolate for a post-workout treat.

Baked Pepper Jack and Spinach Stuffed Chicken
This recipe is simple, quick to prepare yet very delicious. As busy personal trainers and business owners, we often don’t get home until after 8:00–thus making it challenging to prepare, cook, and eat a healthy meal and still get into bed at a reasonable hour. We often equate eating healthy with eating boring repetitive meals. However, dedicating your life to fitness and bettering your health doesn’t mean you have to eat plain chicken and broccoli at every meal. This is just one easy way to spice your chicken up!
Ingredients:
Chicken
2 lbs of chicken (4 large chicken breasts–the leftovers can be used as lunch the next day)
Cajun Seasoning (I like Weber’s)
4 oz. Light Pepper Jack Cheese
1 bag Spinach OR 1 package of frozen spinach
Broccoli
1 bag of organic precut broccoli florets
1 Tbsp Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
Weber’s garlic and herb seasoning
*Serves about 4 people, or use the left-overs as your lunch for the next day (or dinner for 2 nights)!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash and trim any fat off of the chicken breasts. Cut about 4-6 slices in the chicken breasts (make sure to not slice all the way through the breasts). Sprinkle your desired amount of Cajun seasoning on each side of every chicken breast. Place the chicken breast on a non-stick baking pan lined with foil. Wash your hands and set aside.
Heat a pan on low heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Saute spinach until it is wilted. Take off of heat and let cool. While spinach is cooling, cut the cheese into small slices (each breast will get about 1 oz of cheese or 2-3 slices). Add slices of cheese and sautéed spinach to the slits you cut previously in the chicken breast.
For roasted broccoli, line a baking sheet with foil. Toss broccoli with 1 tbsp of olive oil or coconut oil and sprinkle with your desired amount of garlic and herb seasonings. Spread out on baking sheet.
Bake both the broccoli and chicken at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Enjoy!
From our kitchen to yours!
