Super Nova of the Month: Chad Moore

Nova Health Club • June 4, 2023

Congratulations to Chad, who is our Super Nova for June! 


In only three months of training, Chad has lost almost 6% body fat. That is an incredible achievement! In order to achieve his goals, Chad overhauled his diet and lifestyle and is now consistently working out 4 days per week. Chad is an example of somebody ready to make changes, who created a plan with his Nova Health Coaches and has been executing this plan with great success! 


We asked Chad a few questions to understand his fitness journey and time at Nova. Read on to find out what he had to say!


1)What motivated you to start your fitness journey with Nova Health Club?

I’ve always been involved with physical activity, but during Covid, the motivation lessened. However, witnessing my dad's positive transformation in mental health, physical appearance, and overall well-being at Nova motivated me to return to the gym!

 

2)Can you share some key strategies or habits that helped you achieve your success? Any specific workouts, diets, or routines that made a significant difference?

Workouts/Strategies: 

I’m blessed at Nova to have two incredibly knowledgeable trainers who have structured my program to optimize muscle growth while reducing body fat. My job is just to show up. I’ve seen a lot of success in being fully transparent with my trainers regarding energy, soreness, and injury, as they always pivot to maximize each session and boost my motivation. The In-Body is also a great tool, it holds you accountable, and my goal is always to increase muscle mass, and decrease body fat, so whenever I eat, or workout – I always have that in the back of my mind that I will have to face the results! Mentally, having that information to see where you started is always a great way to motivate yourself. Consistency, along with aligning my fitness, nutrition, and sleep, has been crucial for my success.

 

Diets:

My diet is very simple. I try to eat as much protein as possible to stay full longer, feed my muscles, and ensure I have healthy carbs/vegetables with each meal. I love a good cheat meal, so my mindset is to ‘earn the meal’ by having a cheat meal or two on weekends and using the week to earn it!


Routines:

I’ve spent a lot of time with both Graham and Wentzel to ensure it’s not just nutrition or output when I’m there but ensuring my energy levels are optimal when showing up. Sleep and hydration have been my two big routine changes, I now take Magnesium-Glycinate before bed, and lots of hydration/electrolytes which have helped tremendously.

3)In what ways have you noticed positive changes in your mental well-being, energy levels, or overall confidence as a result of your improved fitness?


Having an outlet for stress and self-care is vital in my high-stress career. Nova has boosted my confidence, improved my mental health, and enhanced my ability to manage stress. It has reignited my passion for fitness, thanks to the supportive community, tailored programs, and focus on proper nutrition.

If you're doing all the “right things” — working out, eating clean, trying to stay consistent — but still struggling with stubborn belly fat, low energy and slow results, you’re not alone.

Do Hard Things Now, So Life Becomes Easier Later Modern humans default to the easy way but it's not our fault... Throughout human history, we were wired to survive constant hardship - scarcity of food, threats from predators, harsh environments and manual labor for everything. Our DNA evolved for survival in these conditions, not for modern living. Imagine an early human stumbling across a fruit tree. It made sense to gorge - there was no telling when the next meal would come. The human who gorged had a higher chance of survival than the human who only ate a few pieces of fruit. Practicing self-control in an environment of scarcity would have been a death sentence. Likewise, if given a chance to rest instead of walking miles or hunting, rest was the obvious choice. The problem? Our genes haven’t caught up with modern life. Today, food is everywhere. We don’t have to fight to meet our basic needs. Technology does the heavy lifting, cars replace walking, entertainment is on-demand and calorie-dense foods are always within reach. Left unchecked, our instincts will always lean toward easy options like overeating unhealthy foods (that are so easily accessible) or driving to the store instead of walking. In other words, we’re still hardwired to take the path of least resistance. But here’s the catch: Choosing easy now often means a harder life later and choosing hard now often means an easier life later. Most modern humans are overweight, stressed, tired and dealing with chronic health problems because we’re following outdated survival programming that no longer serves us. It’s time to become aware of these defaults. To override them. To consciously choose the hard thing - because doing hard things is what actually makes life easier in the long run. Hard things like: Going to bed on time instead of watching another episode Preparing a healthy meal instead of grabbing fast food Moving your body instead of sitting all day Walking or biking to the store instead of driving Managing stress with deep breaths and fresh air instead of pouring a drink Looking at your habits instead of masking symptoms with medication It might feel uncomfortable because it goes against everything your biological programming is urging you to do. But that’s exactly why it matters. Don’t think of it as punishment or sacrifice. Think of it as an investment. Every time you take the stairs instead of the elevator, cook instead of order out, or put your phone down to truly rest, you’re building a life that’s easier, richer, and more fulfilling down the road. And remember: Do easy things, and you’ll have a hard life. Do hard things, and you’ll have an easy life. Most of the above information is probably not new to you. That’s because we live in the information age with the internet and now AI - we already know what it is we need to do. The problem however is implementation. This is where having a customized plan and accountability comes in. If you know the hard things you need to do more of but struggle with breaking past your ‘default mode’ then contact us for a complimentary consultation HERE .

We are back with our second series of 'Pod Calls' available exclusively to our Nova Health Club members. Don't miss these unique sessions to help you level up your health and wellness game! What is a Pod Call? A Pod Call is a live online (webinar like)_ session with a Nova coach, offering support and insights on key health topics like fitness, nutrition, recovery and overall wellness. Why did we create Pod Calls? Our goal is your success and your health goals can not be built on fitness alone. After delivering thousands of personal training sessions, we noticed a disconnect between fitness sessions we were delivering and the other pillars of health (and lifestyle habits that happen outside of the gym). To get the most out of your health and your fitness sessions at Nova we need to link other pillars such as mindset, nutrition, stress and recovery. Training coaches who care about your results will agree that a couple hours of personal training each week is not enough time to workout AND learn everything you need to know about maximizing those workouts... Things like how to eat before or after workouts, what recovery habits should be practiced or the link between stress and working out are all subjects that you need to know on your health and fitness journey. Pod Calls are dedicated sessions where we teach you essential health and fitness insights that we can't often cover during your gym workouts. We hope you take advantage of these expert-led sessions that will enhance your workouts, teach you new concepts about health and bridge the gap between fitness and overall wellness. Upcoming Pod Calls (all times in EST) Mon Jun 2, 2025 (6:00pm) Topic: How To Eat Carbs For Better Energy, Muscle & Fat Loss Coach: Josh Allen Wed Jun 4, 2025 (2:00pm) Topic: Hip Mobility Using the 'CARS' (active session) Coach: Kim Vo Sat Jun 7, 2025 (12:00pm) Topic: Benefits of Single Leg & Arm Training for Overall Strength Coach: Matthew Nadler Tues Jun 10, 2025 (6pm) Topic: Releasing Neck Tension Coach: Zack Fernandez Wed Jun 18, 2025 (1:00pm) Topic: Training The Backside of The Core Coach: Colin Soltesz Thu June 19, 2025 (7:00pm): Topic: Ayurveda for Healthy Ageing Coach: Kayla Hutchinson These calls are free for Nova members and Zoom links for each call can be found in the Nova Mighty Networks platform.
