In today’s society, where the media often glorifies thinness, it is essential to shift the focus toward strength and functionality rather than mere appearance. The “Strong Over Skinny” seminar highlights the importance of building strength through resistance training, proper nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle.

Attendees will learn how muscle mass contributes to overall health, improves metabolic function and longevity, and enhances physical performance. Additionally, the seminar will address the mental and emotional benefits of strength training, including increased self-esteem and a positive body image. By promoting a stronger, healthier version of oneself, participants can embrace a holistic approach to fitness that prioritizes physical capability and well-being over traditional beauty standards.

Attendees will receive $5 in Community Bonus Cash. To claim this offer you must be registered for the new Community Natural Foods Membership Program and have downloaded the app. Learn more here.

Please note: The email address used for your CNF membership must match the one you use for Showpass to be eligible for this bonus.
