Happy Friday! Signing up for Personal Training can be a very intimidating process. For some, quite embarrassing. Individuals are being brave enough to visit you which is often, the most difficult part. But, it can also be personally challenging because these individuals are coming to you and admitting that their way of doing things didn't work and that they need someone else's help and guidance. No matter the age, health level or fitness experience, everyone deserves to be gi

Whether you are an experienced fitness fanatic or brand new gym goer, sooner or later we all hit a wall or fall into a rut. How can you brea

Happy New Year! We are about halfway through the brand new month and time is flying, as we all could've expected. As we begin this new year and continue on with our resolutions and various goals, I wanted to bring to you a vlog I did a few months ago after coming back from the gym. It was one of those mornings when I woke up, not energized and not overly excited about life in general. But, I knew I had to complete my training sessions since my workouts have always set the ton

THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY! Great morning everyone. Here is a little motivation to get you through the work day :) Remember, negativity isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, negativity plays a key role in developing our truest forms and potential. Look at struggles as opportunities, not setbacks!

Great Monday everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that you are ready to dominate this week! Over the last couple of weeks, I've been blessed with new opportunities that I didn't think would ever be happening. If you would've asked me a few months earlier that I would be in the position that I am currently, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Nevertheless, I wanted to send you off to your work week with something to think about before we automatically dive in

The first step in everyone's weight loss journey should always consist of sitting down in a quiet space and getting really REAL with yourself. It isn't sexy to talk about life choices and writing down your calories for the day but real coaches insist on this. Achieving a long-lasting healthy lifestyle is more than just workout routines and diet tips. It is also about managing stressful situations, overcoming previous habits and having a complete change in our mindsets. Repeat

Want to achieve a healthier lifestyle? Do you desire more energy and longevity? Well, the answer is simple, right? Focus 80% of your attention to proper nutrition and 20% of your attention on exercising, then you will achieve all the goals that you desire.....WRONG! Any new health enthusiasts will preach this phrase to you in motivational photos on their Instagram accounts while telling their friends to simply eat less (or eat more protein) or exercise more if they hit a plat

Howdy everyone! I know, it's been a little while since I've been here but I promise that it isn't without good cause. September has really started off with a boom, and I mean literally-BOOM! We are currently 4 days away from experiencing a category 3/4 hurricane (thanks Irma) so wifey and I have been running around, making sure we have everything in order. Anyways...while speaking in the Wellness category; one of the most searched sentences on Google and other search engines

"I've tried everything. I exercise all the time. I eat healthy. I know what I'm doing." These are constant sentences I hear on a daily basis from clients, friends, family, associates and even current colleagues. But yet, something is still amiss. Do you say these things on the regular to others? A lot of the time, our natural pride (especially with males) takes over and we hit plateaus; then stubbornly decide to instead of asking for help, we depend on internet research, diet

Happy Friday everyone! We made it another week :) One thing I have noticed since beginning my weight loss journey originally in 2010-11 was the amount of gimmicky fitness plans there were (and still are) on the market. All trying to convince us to spend our hard earned dollars because their program guarantees results like no other competitor. When I originally started to learn how to lose weight when I topped over 200 lbs, I did everything from Insanity, to P90X, to Bootcamps
