JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — SmashMeals has officially added a new Monday evening pickup location at Build Power Grind, the strength and conditioning gym at 1950 South Roan Street, Suite 130 in Johnson City. Fresh meals will be available every Monday at 6:00 PM — perfect timing for members finishing up evening sessions and for anyone driving home through South Johnson City.
Why a Gym Pickup Makes Sense
Pairing meal prep with a training facility isn't a coincidence. Research from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (Jäger et al., 2017) emphasizes that protein timing and total daily protein intake are foundational for recovery, lean mass, and performance. The American College of Sports Medicine similarly recommends 1.2–2.0 g of protein per kg of body weight per day for active individuals.
The problem most lifters and runners run into isn't motivation — it's logistics. A 2023 review in Nutrients found that meal preparation frequency is consistently associated with better diet quality and improved adherence to nutrition goals. Walking out of the gym with a week of macro-counted, gluten-free meals already in hand removes the biggest friction point: deciding what to eat when you're tired and hungry.
