the BUFF life

Spring Fitness & Nutrition

BUFF has a deeper meaning than you might think upon first hearing the word. BUFF stands for: believers uniting fitness and food. What started as a protein bite company has evolved into The BUFF Life Community which brings together those who want to live a healthy lifestyle. Community is powerful because life is meant to be shared.

What started as a virtual group on Facebook (you can join anytime) has led to so much more. 2022 has taken this virtual community to monthly in-person events called “The BUFF Life Community Workout.” These events are essentially date nights for couples at local tness studios, followed by dinner and fellowship at a restaurant a er. The goal is to connect people, to bring couples together, to encourage trying something new, and, ultimately, doing life and growing together.

The community workouts are currently held monthly, where you’ll meet and be encouraged by other couples. You’ll workout together, get some grab-bag goodies from local businesses and then visit and connect a erwards. It’s incredible bringing people together to connect in this way, and this is just the beginning for The BUFF Life Community. May 2022 be the year you choose to grow BUFF with us!
