Meet Andrew - our new ADS Staff with a passion for Fitness!
My journey into fitness started when I was young. I was an active kid growing up and played rep baseball until the age of twenty-one. I am excited to bring my baseball history into our new baseball clinic at CHIRS, and help the clients retake the title at the Client vs Staff softball game!
I always enjoyed learning about the human kinetics and the positive impact physical activity can improve a persons' life.
I bring with me, certification in Nutrition and Personal Training and hope to help with keep Community Fitness fun and engaging with all of you and help reach your personal goals!

5 ways to add flavour to your water
You can add fruits and herbs to your hot or cold water for flavour. Here are some ideas to try:
-
blackberries + mint
-
raspberries + cucumber
-
strawberries + fresh basil
-
chopped apples + a cinnamon stick
-
pear slices + a drop of vanilla extract
To release the most flavour:
-
crush the berries
-
chop or tear herbs
-
cut fruit into cubes
If you like some fizz in your drink, try carbonated water.
