Class Description
Stop leaving your best performance behind! Whether you're a runner, biker, pickleball/tennis enthusiast, yoga/Pilates addict, or just a dedicated daily walker, proper nutrition is key to unlocking your full potential. Join us for an enlightening class designed to elevate your athletic performance and support your active lifestyle.

Your guide is our longtime CCKC instructor, Executive Chef Gary Hild. Chef Gary will share some great nutrition and culinary information that will have you at peak performance. At 73, Chef Gary is a dedicated cyclist (last year, he completed the 475-mile RAGBRAI bike tour across Iowa), foodie, and healthy cooking guru. Chef Gary will demonstrate four easy-prep, delicious, and nutritious meals, and you will sample all of them. Chef Gary will guide you through preparing delicious, nutrient-dense meals tailored to fuel your specific activities. You'll discover how to incorporate lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and essential fats into your diet in ways that are both tasty and beneficial for your chosen sport. You’ll also learn:

Nutrition fundamentals for various activities including running, cycling, yoga, Pilates, and racquet sports like pickleball
How to create balanced meals that provide sustained energy for your workouts
Quick and easy pre- and post-exercise snacks to optimize performance and recovery
Effective hydration strategies
How to meal prep for a busy, active lifestyle

We will also have fitness/health experts speaking and giving live demonstrations. This includes professionals from Bicycle Shack, Fleet Feet, Genesis Health, Dieticians, Bike Walk KC, and Cycling KC.

Jen Thompson Registered Dietician with Culina Health will discuss the importance of a healthy gut and the relationship between our gut microbiome and exercise performance. She will also provide practical nutrition strategies for improving our gut health, supporting athletic performance and overall wellness.

This class is perfect for fitness enthusiasts of all levels, from weekend warriors to dedicated athletes. You'll leave with a toolkit of recipes, cooking techniques, and nutrition knowledge to help you perform at your best, recover faster, and enjoy your active pursuits even more. Join us to learn how the right fuel can take your fitness journey to the next level.
