Meet Lora Jordan – Lead Nutritionist at Extreme Fitness – Richmond Club

17 Jan

Name: Lora Jordan
A three-time ICU World Champion (2009, 2010 and 2011) as a member of the Team Canada All-Girl cheer leading team, Lora has been with Extreme since 2005. She has all the elements of an experienced and exceptional Nutritionist.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional and Nutraceutical Science from University of Guelph, Lora has been a competitive gymnast and cheerleader for a combined 23 years, and knows how important proper nutrition is for athletic performance, which led her to join the fitness industry. At Extreme Fitness, she help clients plan their diet around their athletic or weight management goals, whether it is about gaining muscle, toning up, or losing weight and keeping it off.

In her own words:

Why I got into the field:  I wanted a way to help people. Looking at the statistics of growing obesity rates in Canada and all the related health issues with unhealthy living, I wanted to be someone who could get people going in the right direction. The basic start is healthy eating and lifestyle habits, but my focus over the last few years has leaned more towards performance.

Why someone should invest in nutritional counseling:  Knowing how to eat healthy is one of the staples needed for a long and happy life. Every individual is different, so needs change accordingly. Someone should know exactly how much of what foods they should consume, when they should be eating those foods, and what should be combined together in a meal. There is so much information available to people, but it’s hard for someone without the knowledge to pick through it all to find out what they need. People hire financial planners to sort through all the investment options to find what works for them; they should do the same for their diets.

How Extreme Fitness is so unique: We can provide tailored meal programs to maximize results. Especially if the client is partaking in a fitness program, they should have the proper fuel sources to enhance their results. If a diet and exercise don’t coincide, results take longer to achieve and don’t last as long. A proper exercise and food regimen are a must to support a healthy living.

What to expect from Nutritional Counseling:  After the initial meeting where we establish the client goals, I create personalized meal plans centered around their lifestyle and workout regimen. I follow up every few weeks with measurements, body fat diagnostics, and an overall review of their program. They also receive the next step in the process, with another meal plan that keeps their body changing in the direction their looking for.

Lora can be contacted at Extreme Fitness, Richmond St. – 416.591.7847
