GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work by quieting your appetite. That is exactly why they help with weight loss, and it is also the biggest trap. When you barely feel hungry, it is easy to eat almost nothing, and when you eat almost nothing, your body starts pulling from muscle as well as fat….
If you want to lose fat, the old advice was simple: do more cardio. Run more, spend more time on the treadmill, chase the calorie burn. It sounds right, and it is part of the picture. But cardio alone leaves out the thing that actually changes how your body looks and works over time, which…
You have built the career, the family, the house. You run a team, you close deals, you show up for the people who count on you. And your body is the one part of your life that did not get the memo. If you are being straight with yourself, you know it, and you are…
If you have ever lost weight and gained it back, or eaten clean for two weeks and then fallen off, you probably decided the problem was your willpower. It almost never is. The problem is that nobody taught you a system that fits your actual life. That is what nutrition coaching does, and here is…
CrossFit and Sasquatch Strength & Nutrition both get you sweating, both build community, and both beat sitting on the couch. But they are built for different goals, and picking the right one saves you a lot of frustration. Here is an honest look at how they compare, so you can choose what actually fits what…
If you live in Sammamish and you have been meaning to get stronger, you have probably noticed the problem is not motivation. It is knowing what to actually do when you walk in the door. How much weight, how many reps, what to do this week versus last week, and whether any of it is…
One of the most common things we hear is some version of, “I can only make it a few times a week, is that even worth it?” The honest answer is yes. For most people, three well-programmed sessions a week is plenty to build real strength, add muscle, and lose fat. More is not always…
If you live in Redmond and you are tired of wandering into a gym, doing a few random machines, and hoping something happens, you are not alone. Most people do not need more willpower. They need a plan and someone in their corner making sure they do it right. Sasquatch Strength & Nutrition is right…
Most training programs pick one lane and stay in it. All heavy lifting, or all cardio, or all high-intensity classes. That gets you good at one thing and leaves gaps everywhere else. Real fitness is broader than that. You want to be strong, have staying power, move well, be explosive, and keep your engine healthy….
You built the career. You built the family. You show up for everyone who counts on you. And somewhere in the middle of all that, the guy in the mirror stopped matching the guy everywhere else in your life. Maybe you noticed it coaching your kid’s team. Maybe it was a photo, or a flight…
Bellevue has no shortage of gyms. Big-box chains, boutique studios, apartment fitness rooms. Access to equipment has never been the problem. The problem is that walking into a room full of machines does not tell you what to do, how heavy to go, or whether any of it is moving you toward what you actually…
You are out there running the drills. Twenty minutes in, you are the one who needs the water break, not the ten-year-olds. You laugh it off, but you noticed. Your kid noticed too. You have built a career, a family, a life that works. You are the guy people count on. So the fact that…
