🚨🔥 CLIENT SHOUTOUT — AMI JUST DOMINATED BIG BERTHA 🔥🚨

Ami stepped up to the leg press (aka BIG BERTHA) and absolutely WENT TO WAR…
💥 437 LBS 💥
And she didn’t just move it — she CRUSHED IT.

Controlled. Powerful. ZERO fear.
This is what hard work, consistency, and believing in yourself looks like in real time. 💪🔥

Ami keeps stacking strength, confidence, and momentum week after week, and this PR is just another reminder that she is capable of WAY more than she ever thought.

I’m beyond proud of her — and if you think this is her peak?
Think again. Because she’s just getting started. 🚀🔥

BIG BERTHA RESPECTS YOU NOW, AMI 😮‍🔥🙌

If you know me, you know that I'm extremely picky with my equipment. I try out different things at other gyms throughout the Midwest all the time, and I only want the best pieces of equipment at our gym. Future goals are to expand and bring in more gym pieces. Our goal is to be one of the best gyms in Iowa...right here in Carroll.

Supplement Sunday! (Chris’s idea 😁)
Every Sunday, we’re going to highlight each and every supplement we sell and give you information regarding said supplement, why we take it and what it can do for you.

Most creatine supplements will tell you to go through a load or deload phase but it is not necessary. Just stay consistent with it and it will get into your system.

So, let’s talk creatine.

⚠️ this is going to be a long post BUT people need to be educated on this and we feel the need to do so.

❗️ PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THE EDUCATION! ❗️

💥 RULE 1 CREATINE POWDER: MORE THAN JUST MUSCLE 💥

Creatine is one of the most researched, proven, and effective supplements in the world—and Rule 1 delivers it pure, simple, and science-backed.

Rule 1 Creatine Powder is made with 100% creatine monohydrate, no fillers, no sugars, and no fluff—just results.



🔬 WHAT IS CREATINE & WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Creatine helps your body produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—your cells’ main energy source. More ATP = more power, better performance, faster recovery, and improved overall function.



💪 KEY BENEFITS FOR EVERYONE

✔️ Increased strength & power
✔️ Improved workout performance
✔️ Faster muscle recovery
✔️ Enhanced lean muscle mass
✔️ Improved brain & cognitive function
✔️ Cellular hydration (muscles look fuller & perform better)
✔️ Supports bone density & muscular endurance



👶 YOUTH & TEENS (WITH PROPER GUIDANCE)

Ages 5 to 13 - 1-3g
Ages 14 to 18 - 3-5g

Creatine has been studied in adolescents, particularly athletes, and when used responsibly:
• Supports strength & power development
• Improves athletic performance
• Helps with recovery during intense training

👉 Best used under parental & professional guidance, especially for young athletes in structured sports programs.



🧑‍💼 ADULTS & ATHLETES (5-10g)

This is where creatine shines:
🔥 Increased training intensity
🔥 Better muscle growth
🔥 Improved endurance & power output
🔥 Supports high-stress, high-performance lifestyles

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders—it benefits anyone who trains, lifts, runs, or wants to perform better daily.



🧠 BRAIN & COGNITIVE BENEFITS

Creatine also supports:
• Mental clarity
• Focus
• Brain energy metabolism
• Neuroprotective properties

This makes it beneficial even for non-athletes.



🧓 ELDERLY POPULATION (5-7g)

Creatine is incredibly valuable as we age:
✔️ Helps preserve muscle mass (combats sarcopenia)
✔️ Supports strength & balance
✔️ Improves functional movement
✔️ May support cognitive health

💡 When combined with resistance training, creatine can help older adults stay stronger, more independent, and mobile.



🤰 PREGNANCY & CREATINE (IMPORTANT & HONEST)

Emerging research suggests creatine may play a role in cellular energy support and fetal development, but:

⚠️ Creatine supplementation during pregnancy is NOT universally recommended yet
⚠️ Research is ongoing
⚠️ Always consult a healthcare provider before use

Rule 1 Creatine is pure and free from additives, which is important—but medical clearance is essential during pregnancy.



🥤 WHY RULE 1 CREATINE?

✔️ 100% Creatine Monohydrate
✔️ No fillers or unnecessary ingredients
✔️ Mixes easily
✔️ Trusted quality & transparency
✔️ Backed by science



🔑 FINAL TAKEAWAY

Creatine isn’t just a gym supplement—it’s a lifespan supplement with benefits from youth athletes to aging adults, supporting strength, brain health, recovery, and performance.

Whether your goal is:
🏋️ Strength
🧠 Brain health
🚶 Longevity
⚡ Energy

Rule 1 Creatine delivers.

✨ RULE 1 COLLAGEN PEPTIDES — SMALL SCOOP, BIG IMPACT ✨

If you’ve been looking for a simple way to support healthier hair, stronger nails, and overall wellness… this is it.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body — but as we age, our natural collagen production slows down. That’s where Rule 1 Collagen Peptides step in. They’re easily absorbed, mix smoothly into pretty much anything, and give your body the building blocks it needs to support:

💅 Stronger, faster-growing nails
I’ve been using it consistently, and the difference is REAL. My nails grow quicker, break less, and feel so much stronger than before.

💁‍♀️ Healthier, thicker-looking hair
Collagen supports the structure of your hair follicles, and over time I’ve noticed fuller growth and less shedding — such a game changer.

✨ Skin elasticity + hydration support
Helps keep skin looking smoother, plumper, and nourished from the inside out.

🦴 Joint + connective tissue support
Great for anyone active, lifting, or just wanting to feel better moving throughout the day.

The best part? It’s flavorless, dissolves instantly, and can go in coffee, smoothies, oats — literally anything.

If you’re looking for a daily habit that actually pays off, this one’s worth adding to your routine. 🌟

It is simple to stay hydrated, yet sooo many people are constantly cramping up, getting headaches, having muscle spasms/twitches, or not recovering from workouts for DAYS. Drinking a ton of caffeine each day definitely doesn't help either. I'm not saying you have to give up your coffee or whatever, but just have the mindset of drinking more water and getting your electrolytes in to offset the caffeine intake. And no, I don't mean drink Gatorade or pedialyte. I would have said that if that was a good solution.

Let’s talk fish oil. I take it so why should you?

Ready to support your health from the inside out?
Rule 1 Fish Oil delivers high-quality omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) in an ultra-pure, easy-to-take softgel. Whether you lift, run, meal-prep, or just want to feel your best, omega-3s play a huge role in everyday wellness.

✨ Key Benefits
• Joint Support: Helps reduce everyday stiffness and promotes smoother movement—perfect for active lifestyles and training recovery.
• Heart Health: Omega-3s are known to support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular function.
• Brain + Mood Support: DHA is essential for cognitive function, focus, and overall mental clarity.
• Inflammation Balance: Helps keep inflammation in check, which is especially important for intense workouts or busy routines.
• Daily Wellness: Great for anyone who wants to fill nutritional gaps, especially if you don’t eat fish regularly.

💪 Who It’s Good For:
Athletes, active individuals, busy professionals, and anyone looking to support heart, brain, and joint health.

Rule 1 pairs quality with purity—no fishy aftertaste, no unnecessary fillers. Just clean, reliable omega-3 support.
