(Recipe of the Week) This chopped Greek-style salad hits all the classics—crisp vegetables, briny olives, and a bright oregano dressing—and then tops it off with simply cooked shrimp. Fresh greens, healthy fats, and high-quality protein give it real staying power. It comes together quickly, looks great in a bowl, and makes a delicious anytime meal.

"I was looking for a good fit for strength training and cardio. Little did I know that The Exercise Coach was just 5 minutes from my house. I am so glad that I decided to give The Exercise Coach a try.

I love that you have a personal trainer to guide you through each workout. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and very supportive. I have some shoulder issues and my coach has created a great workout for me that minimizes “discomfort” during the workout. The machines are just awesome! I love how you have resistance in both directions so that your muscles get such a good workout every time you come in. Working out for only 20 minutes, two times a week should fit into anyone’s schedule, so there is no reason not to give The Exercise Coach a try. It is a great experience and I recommend them to anyone who wants to increase their strength, stamina, and their overall health. The staff is amazing, and you will have fun! Give it a try, you won’t regret it."
