There’s so much information on the internet that it can be a challenge to determine what comes from a reputable source. So, I wanted to highlight my absolute favorite Instagram pages (aside from Prototype and related accounts, of course!) that provide excellent information with regards to fitness and nutrition.

 

Favorite Nutrition Instagram: @caitsplate

Run by a non-diet Registered Dietitian (Caitlyn), this account features a plethora of meal ideas. Caitlyn also has a blog, where she shares her recipes. Everything on her page looks absolutely delicious, and I have loved every single one of her recipes that I’ve made thus far! As an added bonus, she shares tips and tricks for parents, as her toddler and newborn often make appearances in her stories.

Favorite Fitness Instagram: @achievefitnessboston

This account is run by a husband and wife team (Jason and Lauren) that has been in the industry for over a decade. They believe in positivity and inclusivity – and it shows! Their page oozes happiness, which makes it inviting, but they also provide excellent information. Often you’ll see tips on how to scale movements, improve your lifts, or build an at-home workout. Jason and Lauren know their stuff! And to make it more fun, their toddler and dog make frequent appearances.

Favorite CrossFit Instagram: @whiteboard_daily

A unique take on coaching cues, this account features whiteboard stick figures drawn by Karl, a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer who has a degree in Kinesiology. He breaks down common CrossFit moves into simplistic drawings, which are accompanied by cues to help improve your form. If you’ve heard me say “don’t spill your fishbowl” during med ball clean, this account is where it comes from!

These are my top three, but they most certainly are not the only educational Instagrams out there. You’ll be able to find many wonderful sources of information to improve your fitness and nutrition. Just make sure you’re vetting the sources to make sure you are getting accurate and reliable information – more to come on that next week!

Shreeja has shown incredible progress during her time at PTS and we are so lucky to have her as part of our community! Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our August POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. Joining Prototype was one of the best decisions I have made in my fitness journey. My first class was a blur of burpees and sweat, I could hardly keep up. A big shout out to all the coaches who are top tier, the workouts are constantly varied but always effective.I have hit the strength goals I never thought possible. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype’s tight knit community is unique. It has taught me that showing up, even on tough days, builds more than just muscle- it builds grit and community. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love dancing - it is one of my happy spaces. I am a homebody- love to spend time at home with family and friends. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I was inconsistent with fitness and struggled to stay motivated. I needed a structured way to build resilience. The Prototype community has helped me push through self doubt. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My goal is to keep pushing my limits. I am not just chasing goals, I am excited to see how far I can go and just keep hitting the PR’s on the way 😀 6.)
