Elevating Your Health and Fitness Journey with Project LeanNation in Short Pump

Passionate about health and wellness, Jessika and Mike Wolfe noticed a gap in their community and were motivated to establish a space where individuals can achieve their fitness goals sustainably. After learning more about Project LeanNation (PLN) and recognizing how it perfectly aligned with their values of promoting a healthy lifestyle, Jessika and Mike decided to bring PLN to Short Pump, and we’re so glad they did!

PLN is a comprehensive program that offers personalized nutrition plans, chef-curated meals, and the guidance of local coaches to help individuals achieve their health goals. Utilizing technology and InBody scans, PLN helps members understand their bodies and navigate their health journey. The supportive community and dedicated app provide a platform for individuals to connect and embark on their health transformations together. Along with owners Jessika and Mike, Educator Chris Buckhorn, and General Manager Chelsey Dixon are committed to empowering PLN members to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Crafted by a top-notch culinary team and overseen by a skilled dietician, PLN meals are healthy and delicious and perfectly balanced with proteins, carbs, and fats. The menu offers a wide range of options, from gluten-free and dairy-free to high-protein and more. With tasty options like Teriyaki Buddha Bowls, Orange Glaze Chicken, Supreme Pizza, and Buffalo Chicken Mac, PLN offers something for everyone, from classic comfort foods to health-conscious delights.

The PLN team understands the importance of convenience in maintaining a healthy diet, especially for those with busy schedules. Time constraints often make cooking challenging, but options from PLN, such as portion-controlled frozen meals, protein balls, and made-to-order protein shakes, can make it easier to eat well without spending too much time or sacrificing variety. By integrating convenience into healthy eating habits, members can make it easier to maintain a nutritious diet without unnecessary stress. PLN helps individuals requiring performance nutrition or seeking convenient, well-balanced meals to stay on track with health objectives while enjoying the variety and quality of its offerings.

PLN has ambitious plans to actively engage with the community by participating in fun and exciting events, promoting health and wellness, and creating opportunities to connect with everyone through educational workshops and enjoyable tastings. "We aim to collaborate with local businesses to establish a network of support, ensuring that our offerings are of high quality and community-driven," says Chelsey and Jessika. "Our objective is to make PLN a primary resource for those in Richmond seeking to live healthier lives while still enjoying the vibrant food scene this city has to offer.”

The PLN Short Pump team is excited to invite you to join its mission to promote a healthy lifestyle and build a stronger, more connected community in Richmond.
