Prototype Nutrition Kickstart

The new year has come and gone, as have many New Year Resolutions. Studies show that nearly 80% of resolutions “fail”, so if you’re one of those people that set intentions and have fallen off the wagon, you’re not alone. The reason this happens so often is because resolutions are set as an all-or-nothing challenge; where the idea is “ If I’m going to clean it up come January 1st, I can do whatever I want until the n”. Stopping the habit cold turkey and making a complete 180 often doesn’t last long. 

 

What does work is making small changes incrementally. Rather than changing everything all at once, you change one small thing. When that becomes a habit, then you change one more small thing. That pattern continues over and over again until you’ve made that big change. 

 

Using this concept, the nutrition team wants to help you through making those small changes with your nutrition. This is why we are rolling out a Kickstart for you starting this March. This Kickstart is going to give you the skills and accountability you need to establish good nutrition habits.

 

So what even is the Kickstart? Well, it is a 4-week program that holds you accountable. Over the course of the four weeks, you will be adding in new nutrition habits in a building fashion. With the guidance of the nutrition team and the accountability from your peers, we hope to help you make lasting changes.

 

The program rolls out in 4 stages, spread across the 4 weeks. Each week, you’ll be focused on a different goal:

 

  1. Getting adequate hydration and sleep.
  2. Fruit and vegetable intake.
  3. Meeting protein needs.
  4. Cooking the majority of your meals at home.
A pyramid of healthy foods including protein , fruit and veggies , hydration and sleep.

Each week you embark on a new goal, while also continuing to maintain the goals from the previous weeks. This means that by week 4, you’ll be focusing on eating home cooked meals, but you’ll also be monitoring your hydration, protein, and fruit and vegetable intake.

 

For a total of $40, you’ll get:

  • A “Kickstart Kickoff” – where we will dive into the specifics of the challenge with all of you via a live Zoom meeting.
  • Two group check-ins with a Prototype Nutrition Coach.
  • Access to the Prototype Nutrition Facebook group, where you can discuss the Kickstart with other members and your coaches.
  • Weekly videos addressing your questions and concerns.
  • Accountability and consistency.
  • The kickstart to living a healthier lifestyle.

 

The thing that sets this apart from challenges we’ve had in the past is that this is only the beginning. With this Kickstart, we are here to help you start building the habits that will extend beyond these four weeks. By giving you the tools to make the changes and adding a bit of accountability, we hope to start your journey to reach your nutrition goals!

February Prototype of the Month: Sharang Phatak

By Mike Collette • February 3, 2026
Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.

I love cycling and mountain biking, the workouts at prototype have definitely helped improve my fitness so that I can do better on the bike even though I don’t get out as often as I would like. Also spending time with my family, grilling and BBQing when the weather is nice and getting to the beach in the summer. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped enormously with my level of anxiety, I was really struggling when we first moved into town, the community and workouts at Prototype have been a life saver for my mental health. What are your current fitness goals? I want to get better at gymnastics, maybe get some toes to the bar. Favorite Quote Two Quotes: “Bone on bone, stack it” -Jon “Activate the lower half” -Brian
