Continuum Performance

BE ABOUT IT

Missed the Boat
Eric Belliveau • February 5, 2018

In telling this quick story there might be some slight variations (let’s call them minor inaccuracies) from the real “true” story. (Sorry, Geoff). For those that may not know the backstory about where the CPC name was derived from, here’s a little insight. Way back, 8ish years ago when Geoff was planning his creation of a space where he could torture people without being hindered by outside forces, and from within which he could amass like-minded individuals to help carry out his vision of world domination, CPC was born.

Continuum ; A continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct. (Thanks, Google, count this as my citation)

The goal or mission of CPC, Continuum Performance Center was always to create and/or provide a number of outlets, people, practitioners, coaches, doctors, etc. along the Continuum of fitness, wellness, or health. We were, are and always will be the “exercise” or “fitness” element but we had always wanted to provide the other adjacent elements to our subscribers, by either offering them in-house or by having trusted, knowledgeable and local referral partners. Knowing that each one is as important as the next in creating a whole, sound, healthy and well person. Need a massage? Here go see this person. Need a physical therapist? Here, we trust and work with that person. Need a chiropractor? This person is great go to them. So on and so on.

One area that we have kind of “missed the boat” on is the element of food and nutrition. Not for lack of trying but we have had a hard time finding that right fit in a person or organization. We have tried and offered some programs in the past but it’s something we have never quite been able to grasp and something none of us on staff are qualified to to handle.

Fall of 2018 will see additions to the offerings at CPC, a new Nutrition platform will be launched and available to everyone.

Fall of 2018 will see additions to the offerings at CPC, a new Nutrition platform will be launched and available to everyone. April, will mark the start of a journey I will embark on. I will be starting the coursework for the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coaching Certification. After doing some research and digging into what would be a good fit as far as certifications we settled on PN. The courses and everything will take around 4 months to complete and from there I will have the knowledge, skills, ability and most importantly the certification to help people and be the in-house go to resource for nutritional concerns. Looking forward to starting this and excited to see how I can start to work with our subscribers in a different capacity.

2018 has already shown signs that it will be a busy year filled with new additions, ideas, concepts, programming and other things. Stay tuned, especially toward the end of summer and into Q4 as we roll out, launch and add more elements to our Continuum, even beyond what I’ll be doing with PN1!

The Meat Hangover

By Eric Belliveau • October 7, 2020
When it comes to taking meat out of your diet, some people have the idea that they will only see positive changes immediately following this choice. While those positive changes are definitely part of the deal, so is an adjustment period for your body.

We're Trying

By Eric Belliveau • September 23, 2020
We were all thrown on this crazy ride together. Emotions were running high but so were patience, empathy, inclusion, and respect. Most of us could rally behind the #WeAreInThisTogether manta. We wanted to do right by each other - donate to charities, lend a hand, check-in on one another. Do our part. As the days turn to weeks and the weeks into months these dispositions decayed rapidly. I know that this Quarantine order has been going on for a long time. I know that a great number of us do not agree on the why. I know an even greater number of us are “over it”. I am painfully aware of the difference of opinions surrounding the pandemic. It is impossible to NOT be aware of this. This leads us all to frustration, anger, resentment, and the feeling that you are not being heard. Very real and very human emotions! It is okay to feel this way. I am not only writing this from the perspective of a fellow struggling human. I do find myself struggling with everything I mentioned above. Not just daily but multiple times a day. My ability to focus has been challenged by my worry. My ability to create time for myself and focus on self-care has been derailed for fear of other things becoming more pressing. I work on this every day. I am not only writing this from the perspective of one of the business owners who were never given a playbook for this. For weeks on end I thought WTF happened to the business and how would our model need to change and remain viable, how each business owner had to either weather a period in which we were completely shut down or allowed to operate under capacity restrictions, etc. The unknown of what the timeline would bring and whether we would be able to continue our dreams or make an extremely difficult decision of not continuing. This still haunts every one of us daily. I AM very much writing this as a service provider! I am writing this as an impassioned human who genuinely loves what I do for a living. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to have built a career surrounding something I get excited about every day. I am making a stand for all of us that make their living in the service industry. To the receptionist, hostess, waiter, cook, dry cleaner, teacher, technician, barista, utility worker, automobile service technician… It is truly impossible to be inclusive of everyone here.  No one human mentioned above asked for this ‘situation’ we are in. We are sure as hell trying to provide a level of normalcy, service, care, and happiness to the lives in which we choose to serve. With added restrictions, added expense decreased capacity and the fear of being fined or shut down for doing it incorrectly, everyday.
