2024 has been a big year of change so far here at the studio: new team members, new Name and Brand, new website, new supplements, new challenges, new social fitness events, new equipment… but there’s one thing that hasn’t changed: Our commitment to you, and the inspiration we draw from you, the Taproot members, every single day.
As many of you know, a lot of thought went into the naming of Taproot, but the seeds were planted long ago. Being a part of your journey brings me true joy, and I am so excited to come into the studio every single day to see your growth, strength, and progress in both your fitness and life. I chose “Taproot” because it means “the strongest root of the tree from which others grow and flourish”. I hope that the studio will always be a safe and welcoming place where you feel empowered and supported to achieve your goals and establish a strong foundation in your fitness journey. I draw my inspiration from you and your commitment every single day; it is my passion helping you achieve all of your goals, and building the best plan and program for your lifestyle to get there.
The gym is just a small piece of the complex puzzle when it comes to health, fitness, and wellness programs. Sleep, hydration, healthy habits, and nutrition are other key pieces to consider, and often the most complicated to figure out. Whether it be weight loss, muscle growth, sport performance, mobility, overall physical health, and everything in between, the foundations for success are similar, but the specifics will vary for everyone. One thing that can make all the difference in a fitness and wellness journey, and truly help fill in the gaps of the complicated puzzle, is strategic supplementation.
The notion of supplementation can be incredibly overwhelming - Will it solve all your problems or challenges? Will it give you the results you’re looking for? Where does one start? How do you know what’s right for you? What type of supplements do you need? How do you know you can trust the brand? Let’s answer some of those questions :)
Is supplementation the silver bullet to hit all of my goals and overcome challenges?
Supplements can play a pivotal role in your fitness journey and achieving your goals, but they aren’t cure-all. They help you overcome challenges you may be facing by filling nutritional gaps, enhancing performance, boosting endurance, promoting recovery, and help your body get the support it needs to perform and feel its best. To optimize supplementation and crush your goals, ensure you have a well-rounded nutritious diet, a consistent exercise routine, a rest & recovery plan, and a supplement stack that is personalized to YOU.
Where do I start when deciding what types of supplements I need or would benefit from?
Supplements should be chosen based on your specific needs; building your supplement stack comes from determining what your goal is. For some it may be improving sleep to optimize recovery, while others may be looking for building muscular endurance to maximize workouts; other common goals include filling in nutritional gaps, balancing hormones, building muscle, losing fat, hydrating the muscles, increasing energy, boosting performance, and so much more! You can also supplement for multiple goals at the same time. Your Taproot trainers are well educated on nutrition & supplementation, and can help you pick the right ones for your goals and lifestyle!
How do I know if I can trust the brand? Are supplements “clean”?
Like all things, there are different levels in the quality of supplements; the higher the quality of supplement, the “cleaner” it will be, the better the ingredients, and often the better the results. When choosing a supplement brand, there is a checklist you should follow to ensure you are picking a clean and healthy product:
Third-Party Testing: Brands that conduct third-party testing are more reliable than those that don’t; this ensures that the supplements meet quality and purity standards, and that the ingredients are accurately dosed.
Transparency & Quality Control: Brands that are transparent about their manufacturing process, sourcing of ingredients, and quality control measures have nothing to hide, and can be trusted regarding what the products contain.
Ingredients & Formulation: Check the ingredient list and make sure it matches what's advertised. High-quality brands use standardized ingredients and avoid unnecessary fillers or additives.
Scientific Support: A reliable brand will invest in research & clinical studies to support the effectiveness of their products; the highest quality brands will cite scientific evidence and academic research, or have collaborations with reputable institutions.
Reputation & History: Established brands with a history of quality products are generally more trustworthy. Look for reviews, testimonials, partnerships or sponsorships, and feedback from other consumers!
