25 Things I am Thankful for – Fitness Edition #2 Evolv Shakes
I love using Evolv Shakes to start my day! They are a great meal replacement shake, containing protein, carbs, and fat. Both the vanilla and the chocolate taste great. Evolv shakes have no artificial sweeteners or flavors, and don’t contain soy or sucralose. My favorite shake is a chocolate banana shake made with the chocolate powder,3-4 […]
25 Things I am Thankful for – Fitness Edition #1 Burpees
I will start my list off with my favorite exercise of all time…the beloved burpee. I wrote a post about burpees awhile back, including how to do them and why they are beneficial. Burpees are a great full body exercise that I incorporate into my workouts at least once a week. If you have not […]

One Year Already? Time Flies!
One Year ago today, I left a safe and secure job to pursue my life-long dream of owning my own business. With the amazing support of family and friends, I opened the doors of Active Evolution Fitness. I began with 2 clients and quickly grew to well over 40. I am very fortunate to be […]
Weekend Fun!
What a great weekend Active Evolution Fitness had last weekend! We started the weekend off with the Kiss Me Dirty Mud Run and finished it off with the 1st Annual Client Appreciation BBQ! The Kiss Me Dirty Mud Run was a BLAST! There were 11 obstacles over a 3.1 mile course. For many of my […]
The Ultimate Protein Pancakes
It is official…I am addicted! I recently posted Pumpkin Protein Pancakes and was eating them daily, until I found these! If you are looking for a protein pancake that is gluten free, dairy free (depending on protein powder used), and more “pancake-like”, this is it! A friend introduced me to these and I have eaten them […]
Kiss Me Dirty Mud Run
Hey guys! It has been a little while since I posted. I had my family in town last week and I was busy entertaining and enjoying their company! I can’t believe September is already here! I have a group of women running in the Kiss Me Dirty Mud Run in Oregon on September 21st. If […]
Quick and Healthy Snack Ideas
I was recently asked by a client to come up with a list of healthy snacks. There are so many options and combinations of foods that it can be overwhelming at times. Here are a few ideas that I enjoy and some that I thought others may enjoy (truth be told, some people find my […]
Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
These are my go-to post workout meal! They are gluten-free (as long as your protein powder of choice does not contain gluten). Although they seem a little “Fall-like”, they make a great meal year round! The best part about them is, if you are in a hurry and don’t have time to cook them, you […]
First Duathlon
This past weekend, a few clients/friends and I participated in the Girlfriends and Dudes Duathlon, Triathlon, and Kids Tri in Vancouver, WA. The Duathlon consisted of a 2 mile run, 12.5 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile run. Individually, each of these distances seem easy. Put them together, and it becomes a great physical […]
