Ready to level up your results? Connect with a certified nutrition coach at The Markham Gym today and discover how a protein-first plan can transform your strength, recovery, and body composition.

Protein isn’t just a trend — it’s the backbone of modern fitness nutrition. From protein shakes and pancakes to protein-enriched popcorn, this “protein-first” mindset is dominating summer 2025 for a reason: it helps build lean muscle, keeps hunger in check, and accelerates recovery.

Why is this so important? Because active people burn through protein faster than they think. By front-loading your day with high-quality protein — like a breakfast smoothie, mid-day Greek yogurt, or post-workout shake — you create the foundation your body needs to thrive.

And if you’re looking for plant-based protein or just want to mix it up? The future of protein isn’t limited to chicken and whey. Today, athletes are fuelling up with pea, hemp, and algae proteins — plus exciting blends that combine plant and animal sources for better taste, digestion, and sustainability.

Why go green? Plant-powered diets can lower inflammation, reduce environmental impact, and support heart health — without sacrificing muscle or performance. But balancing amino acids and meeting daily protein targets takes strategy.

Our specialist coaches at The Markham Gym can help you build balanced meals, pick quality supplements, and keep your protein intake high — whether you’re vegetarian, flexitarian, or just curious.

But there’s a catch: everyone’s needs are different. A powerlifter, runner, and yoga enthusiast won’t all thrive on the same protein strategy. That’s where a specialist coach from The Markham Gym comes in. We help you calculate your ideal daily intake, pick the best sources (plant, dairy, or blended), and time your protein around your training.

Don’t leave your gains to chance.
