Super Nova of the Month: Chad Moore
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.
