2026 is here, it’s time for the Body Composition Challenge! We will give you all the knowledge and tools to help you reach: YOUR BODY COMPOSITION GOALS!!
This is not a weight loss challenge. It is a body composition challenge, which means we are aiming to lower body FAT and improve LEAN muscle mass. With the help of the Registered Dietitians, as well as the Physical Therapists at Caruso Physical Therapy and Nutrition, we can give you the guidance you need to succeed!
Your registration will provide the following:
- INITIAL BODY FAT TEST (includes a report of body fat %, lean mass %,
resting metabolic rate, body age, visceral fat, weight, and BMI.) - RE-TEST AT EACH APPOINTMENT WITHIN THE CHALLENGE DATES
- PERSONALIZED MEAL PLAN!
THE TOP THREE PATIENTS WITH THE MOST IMPROVED BODY COMPOSITION GETS A PRIZE!!
GET STARTED ON JANUARY 19TH! CALL, EMAIL OR SCAN THE QR CODE TO GET STARTED NOW!!
Q&A About the 2025 Body Composition Challenge:
Do I need to be in person to join? What if I want to meet with the Registered Dietitian virtually?
We will welcome you into the challenge whether you are in person or virtual! The only negative of being virtual is not getting the initial start body fat % and muscle %- if we don’t have this, you may not be considered to win a prize. However, you can still be a part of the motivation by signing yourself up to receive regular communication and tips, emails, and MOTIVATION!
What if my appointment is not at the start of the challenge? What do I do?
We have three Registered Dietitians on staff and we spend an hour to an hour an a half for an initial evaluation; therefore, spots are limited. Getting started any time in January, including the week before the challenge, can count as your start date- no need to wait until January 19th. It will then give you more time to achieve your goals! If you get started late, that is completely fine- you can even join in in February! You will then just have less time to complete your goals. However, it’s never to late to start working on your health.
What does the challenge mean?
You will meet with the highest level of nutrition expertise, a Registered Dietitian, within the challenge to evaluate your nutrition. 80-90% of your body composition goals stem from nutrition- yes, we are also the sports nutrition experts and are extremely educated in this topic. We also practice what we preach- our RDNs on staff have competed in races and sports events and have years of experience in the fitness industry.

What is the difference between a nutritionist and Registered Dietitian?
A registered dietitian is a licensed healthcare professional with formal medical and clinical training in nutrition. The term ‘nutritionist’ isn’t always regulated, so training and qualifications can vary widely.
| Registered Dietitian | Nutritionist |
| Nationally credentialed | Title often unregulated |
| Clinical training required | Training varies widely |
| Can treat medical conditions | Limited or non-medical scope |
| Licensed in many states | Licensing varies or absent |
| Evidence-based practice | May or may not be evidence-based |
What is the cost?
Did you know…most insurances cover personalized nutritional counseling, this means you are ALREADY paying for nutritional counseling. Visits with our RDNs may be fully covered by your insurance, insurance carrier dependent. Call us 609-738-3143 or email [email protected] to get started!
