Welcome to the Next Level! We are transforming bodies and impacting lives…
for ETERNITY!

WE ARE BUILDING SOME-THING SPECIAL AT
 135 N. STEVENS ST.
TOGETHER WE ARE INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE AS WE DEVELOP CHRISTIAN LEADERS THROUGH SPORTS TRAINING.

COGI BODY TRANSFORMATION
SO… HOW’S THE RESOLUTION GOING? …Riiighht.  Well, how about this? You are working to stay motivated while changing your lifestyle habits and get into better shape. Well, what if we offered you a chance to win $1,000 while you work to accomplish your personal goals.
Here’s the ticket. We take a before picture of you, 12 weeks later we take an after picture. We judge who makes the best overall physical transforma-tion based on appearance only. Your weight doesn’t matter. Your body fat percentage doesn’t matter. Your BMI does not matter. The contest is judged on whether or not you made a better overall change in appearance than the other contestants. Nope. Not whether you look the best. But, as you’ve worked to change, did you make a more visible change than the other contestants?
It’s the perfect compliment for Team Lean participants because you are already doing the tough part of managing your food intake. Now, at the end of your program, you work a few additional weeks to tone everything up. By the way, adding a little muscle helps to increase your basal metabolic rate and burn more calories throughout the course of a day.
All said, you get a chance to take your body to a totally different level, whether you win the contest or not.
But remember, this is not a weight loss contest. TRANSFORMATION, Kind of like, “I once was lost, but now I’m found” for your body. Everybody wins in this contest!
OK, here’s what you get for $50 registration: 1. The chance to win $1,000, 2. Formed strength and aerobics guide to help you plot your course to your best physical appearance, 3) Suggested supplements to help maxi-mize your energy level and safely metabolize fat (or to add muscle where necessary), 4) Waived membership fees (Yeah, do your training here!) for the first 25 non-members to sign-up for the contest. Contact Ryan Davis to register: 226-2220.

DID WE TELL YOU THAT JOINTS DON’T WEAR OUT? Your body is one of the most intricately designed and most durable machines ever developed. Something has to be out of align-ment or out of balance to cause a joint to wear out or lose stability. The Designer put a lot of thought into the development of the human body. It takes a lot to “wear it out”. No. Age does not wear it out. (That’s why we see 70+ year olds run-ning on concrete.) However, imbalances due to faulty programs, past injuries, and sedentary lifestyle are huge factors. Schedule a consultation with a Cogi Athletic Certified Personal Trainer and find out what you can do to help maximize the use of your joints through individualized programs designed specifically for your unique body.   

FOR QUICKER RECOVERY
It’s Optimizer time for young athletes that want to get the most out of their training. We will totally deplete our systems training in South Georgia heat and humidity. Speed up your recovery time and optimize your strength and performance with Next Level Formulas’ Metabolic Optimizer. By the way, The Optimizer can also be used as a meal replacement for your weight management program. $20.64

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 101
Activate the sugars, then, burn the fat. Give yourself a short bout of strength training to burn the sugars (muscle glycogen), then cardio for 20-30 minutes to activate stored body fat.
