Nikki Achieved Her Body Recomposition Goals

Salus • Jun 04, 2023

Body recomposition is probably one of the top goals I work on most with my clients. While that combination is very hard to achieve, it is absolutely POSSIBLE with consistency day in and day out.

Nutrition, sleep, hydration, exercise…they all need to be on point.

Body recomposition involves simultaneously decreasing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass to achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing physique. Not only that, but a higher muscle-to-fat ratio can help improve performance in the gym, boost metabolism and improve overall metabolic health.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth it…if that’s your goal.

Achieving Body Recomposition Goals

Nikki started Nutrition Coaching with the goal to “lose that last bit of fat and gain muscle at the same time.” Through consistency during her 12 weeks, she achieved her goals!

“ Nutrition has given me the tools to push myself to think differently about how I react to, and overcome challenges I face with my weight loss journey. In the 12 weeks, the significant changes I made are how and when I plan my days/weeks by logging my food, tracking my workout routines, staying consistent, and utilizing the helpful knowledge from Coach Angela. Those changes have been the best tools to help me succeed.”

Body Recomposition in 12 Weeks

In just 12 weeks, she lost 6.5% body fat: losing close to 10 pounds of body fat and gaining 2 pounds of muscle.

She lost 2.25 inches around her navel and 2.5 inches around her hips.

And she’s not done.

Staying Motivated with Nutrition

“ What keeps me motivated to keep going is seeing significant changes to my measurements, feeling confident, and the enormous support from my friends and family. Consistency, hard work and dedication are my keys to success.” ~Nikki Schumann

Transform Your Physique

By increasing muscle mass and reducing body fat, you can develop a body that is more efficient at burning calories and maintaining a healthy weight in the long run.

When working with my clients on their body recomposition goals, I take into consideration individual goals, preferences, and factors such as nutrient timing, food preferences, training goals, and recovery.

“It felt like home, like family.” Tina & Jay Schack, Athletes of the Month February 2024

Dive into the journey of Tina and Jay, a couple whose lives have been profoundly transformed by their experiences at CrossFit Salus. From the initial rush to get wedding-ready to navigating the challenges of parenthood, their story is a testament to the power of a supportive fitness community. Witness how they’ve overcome obstacles, celebrated triumphs, and found a second family among both OG and new members alike. Through ups and downs, CrossFit Salus has been their constant, offering more than just workouts but a place where they feel at home. We’re incredibly fortunate to have the Schacks as a vital part of the Salus community. Just hear what our coaches have to say: “From the moment I saw Christina tackling wall balls in her wedding veil, I knew she was something special. Both her and Jay’s dedication and spirit (not to mention, Jay’s amazing overhead mobility!) have been an inspiration to us all from day one. We’re truly blessed to have the Schacks as part of our CrossFit Salus family.” ~Coach Angela “Jay and Christina are the perfect example of two parents who work hard to balance health while managing a busy family. They have been fixtures in my 8:30 class since I started coaching, coordinating schedules to make CrossFit a crucial part of their day. Christina is always a cheerful presence who comes with a positive mindset, aimed at improving as an athlete no matter what the workout. Jay comes with a quiet focus during class, putting to excellent use his mobility and amazing strength, while always receptive to coaching cues.” ~Coach Erin “Both athletes are always open to constructive feedback but what impresses me the most is that both Jay and Christina work within their limits prioritizing technique over the RX button. They both understand the intended stimulus of the WOD which is their primary goal. Oh, and don’t let them fool you with their kind, sweet demeanor….they are strong AF!!!” ~Coach Scott Meet the Schacks, Athletes of the Month: February 2024
