WHAT WE DO
Basic is a lifestyle brand with a focus on health and wellness, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Because our mission is to Encourage and Inspire people to live Healthy and Active Lives, we offer a variety of services ranging from individual endurance training, to pre-season team fitness coaching, to nutrition coaching/guidance.
Through our work with young athletes, we noticed there was a significant need for the development of athletic foundations in youth sports. Through several case studies we conducted for proof of concept as well as months of customer discovery, we began the work to develop a team training and athlete management digital platform. To learn more about that platform and its milestones, checkout auxsisports.com
WHO WE ARE
Two friends with a lot of grand adventures, an endless amount of laughter and a shared passion for healthy and happy living. This is the foundation of our company, which is our passion project based on our mutual belief that healthy living is happy living. We always look for the good in others, never stop believing in the power of positivity and think a little hard work goes a long way.

Our nutrition coaching practice is based off of bio-individuality. This is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs; therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

We offer customized fitness training for all ages and objectives. This ranges from motivating people to start living healthy and active lives to hyper focused training for an athlete’s specific needs.

Our website provides a wide variety of healthy recipes, that are guaranteed to leave you feeling healthy + happy! Check out our Basic Eats instagram page as well @the_basic_eats
