As an avid fitness enthusiast who often looks for other activities other than the gym and sometimes needs a workout partner or just some motivation, I started this group to encourage others to eat clean, get lean, have fun and enjoy activities, exercise and maybe make some like-minded friends in the process.

… I grew up in a home where dinner was ALWAYS ready so I never had to think about what was I going to eat. But now that I have been on my own in Chicago for 9 years and recently married to an avid cook I thought let's give it a try!
