Whole 9 Nutrition Workshop [Sold Out]

Click Here to register and reserve your spot now ($75 for 4 hours)

Join Dallas Hartwig and Melissa Urban, founders of Whole9, for a practical, straightforward, interactive discussion on the important role nutrition plays in your overall health and fitness. In this three hour workshop, you’ll learn:

  • How certain food groups are negatively impacting how you look, feel and perform, even if you don’t immediately notice their effects
  • What you should be eating to look, feel and perform your best – and why you don’t really need to weigh and measure all your food to achieve excellent fitness levels
  • How to break unhealthy patterns, habits and cravings related to food, and change the way you eat for the rest of your life in a healthy, balanced, satisfying and sustainable manner
  • How to make food work for you by speeding up the healing process – and how poor food choices contribute to keeping you sick, weak and injured
  • How to manage healthy eating under any circumstance – while traveling, at home with the family, during social events or in a business setting.
  • The best way to incorporate “cheats” into your diet, enjoying the foods you really want without compromising your overall health and fitness goals

Workshop Instructors:

Dallas Hartwig has a BS in Anatomy and Physiology and an MS in Physical Therapy, and has been a practicing physical therapist since 2001. He also holds numerous CrossFit fitness and nutrition certifications.

From Dallas: “I believe that a high intensity exercise program is both effective and sustainable life-long, when combined with good nutrition and recovery practices.  I educate my PT patients about nutrition, sleep, active recovery techniques, and stress management practices as often as I do about the physiology of connective tissue healing, lumbar stabilization, or biomechanics. It was this experience that, in part, led Melissa and me to develop a comprehensive and integrative practice (Whole9) to help our clients continue to aggressively chase health and performance without being hindered by nagging pain and injuries.”


Melissa Urban has authored the fitness blog “Urban Gets Diesel”, and holds numerous CrossFit fitness and nutrition certifications.

From Melissa: “I learned about fitness and nutrition by doing –  researching, participating and learning, experimenting on myself, then applying those lessons to clients. Good health and fitness doesn’t have to be complicated, but it is more than just your back squat plus protein grams.  It’s not just physical – there are mental and emotional components that should be acknowledged as an integral part of your personal evolutionary process. We help people identify factors impeding their progress, change unhealthy habits and behaviors, and attack their objectives in an educated, effective fashion. We help our clients clear the path for real health and fitness achievements in a way that feels both sustainable and balanced.”
