Omron Body Fat Monitor Back At Studio

Posted by: Taylor Carpenter

I’ve replaced the Omron Body Fat Monitor at Taylor Carpenter’s Personal Training Studio in Ballantyne. This is a relatively inexpensive tool that you could use yourself to track the progress in your muscle gain and fat loss goals. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be running through everyone and getting some updates. If at any point you’re just curious and would like to use it, just ask before your session and I’ll be sure to have it setup for ...

REVIEW: Dymatize Elite XT Protein

Posted by: Taylor Carpenter

This is the protein supplement I am currently using and I’m very happy with it! I’ve only tried Rich Vanilla and Rich Chocolate as I’m not the type to experiment with those odd protein flavorings(blueberry, cake mix, ice cream, cherry, strawberry, etc..).
