Relationship

Being a personal training is probably one of the most rewarding jobs ever. We get to push people to better themselves as well as better ourselves. The relationships that we gain are absolutely priceless. Sure people may leave every now and then, but you gain such an amazing relationship when you spent that much time with one person. Some times after a workout I literally feel like we went threw war together. You truly gain a great bond.
I've realized this more today then any other. People come into our lives for a reason. You might not always know the reason, or want to know. But there is always a reason. I thank GOD for the friendships that I have mad and will continue to make as a personal trainer.
I know this post isn't much about fitness as it about life. But I felt I needed to step back a bit and be grateful.
Thank you.

Whats in the water in Greenwich CT?

Ok, we all know that we are suppose to drink water and not sugar juices.
Im not going to preach to you about how important water is. And Im not going to say that without enough water its going to be hard to meet the results that you want. There is no need for me to say this because you already it. Right?
You better.
Quick stat:
1 vente mocca latte from Starbucks ( I don't even know if I spelt that right)
to rehydrate yourself from that one drink you have to have 26, ya 26 cups of water.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep up the good work.

What's the hardest job in the WORLD?

I give much much respect to all the Mom's out there.
First of all, they showed up to class today even though it was a snow day.
Snow doesn't stop our girls.
So while all the ladies worked out with Jill and Deb I played uncle Gary.
No let me start by saying I have a beautiful 1 1/2 year old at home. Sure shes a handful, but I love every second of it.
Now most of these women have 3 or 4 kids. Holy Sh&%!!!!
Anyway, they brought them in today. And I was more tiered after an hour with all those kids then I am after a full days work. I loved every second of it and I love that our clients bring there kids in. But WOW!

I just want to let all the women in the world know that I understand you have the hardest job out there. And the most rewarding.

Women don't get the love that they deserve. Most men wouldn't be able to handle the kids for a day rather then all the time. I guess what I'm trying to say ids that all you women ROCK.
And to all the guys out there, Let your lady know how grateful you are of her.

Love you all,

Gary

Instantly Identify Online Scams

Nothing makes my blood boil like the Wt. Loss scams I see online. They drive me nuts.

Now it's bad enough they make absurd claims that are just flat out lies. But what takes the cake is the fact that nowadays they are fraudulently using the Better Business Bureau seal of approval to flat out trick you. Can you believe that?!

So how can you tell if that's the case?

Simple. If you see the BBB seal on a website and it does NOT hyperlink to the Better Business Bureau website (which is BBB.org) so you can review the company's history, then it is a fake. It is a scam. The people that have created that site are liars!

Legitimate companies like Prograde Nutrition(http://elevatefitnesspt.getprograde.com/) go through the trouble of actually going through the process of getting approved by the Better Business Bureau. When you go to their website you'll see the BBB seal. And it is legit because it takes you to BBB.org to prove it when you click on the image.

The Internet can be a scary place. But there are good people and good companies doing business online. And now you know one more way to recognize them - AND the bad guys.

Yours in rapid fat loss,

Elevate Fitness

PS - If you're looking for the highest quality nutritional products on the Internet from a company you can trust, well, look no further than Prograde Nutrition (http://elevatefitnesspt.getprograde.com/)

New Years Resolution. Whats that.

One of my clients told me today that the saddest day of the year is next Monday January 26th. He said that's the day when everyone realizes that they haven't been sticking to their new years resolutions.
What to know what I think of New Years resolutions. I think they're bull sh%&.
If you want to change your life you have to make a decisions. Resolutions don't stick but decisions do.
You have to be clear on what you want. Is your new years resolution to lose weight? Cool, lose a pound and get on your way.
How many pounds do you want to lose?
When do you want to lose them by?
Why?
Why?
There has to be a "why" behind everything or else you wont do it.

Get clear. Take the time to acutually think about it. You deserver to give yourself that gift.
So, scratch the resolutions and get clear on a decision.
Please dont let January 26th be a sad day for you. Let it be the happiest and clearest day of your life, because you made the decision to change forecver.

Love ya,

Gary
