New Year, Old Gimmicks

It is the start of the new year and you know what that means... resolutions. Can I just say as a gym owner I REALLY dislike this time of year. It isn't because of all the new people in the gym. I love the new people and I am glad that people are wanting to take an active role in their health and fitness.

What I dislike is all the scams being peddled to people.


I have seen a lot of advertisements recently on social media for pills, powders, and potions to help people get rid of the unwanted pounds. Let me tell you a little secret....

THEY ONLY WORK WHILE YOU TAKE THEM.

As soon as you stop your special fiber drink, your weight-loss shake, and whatever else they have you buying you will add the weight right back on.

Do you know why?

You can't shortcut fitness. It takes work, a lot of work. If you don't believe me, ask my friend Rachel. She lost 50 pounds in 2015 and didn't have to spend a dime to do it. She lost the weight by making good nutrition choices and working out regularly. She had accountability partners and set goals. No one handed her a packet of anything and said, "drink this every morning!" Instead we worked on eating protein, good fats, and limiting carbs. If you are wanting to get fit this year, please don't buy a bunch of crap that you don't need. Don't be fooled by empty promises.

The only way to get fit is to change your dietary habits and get your body moving. Want to know more about how to do that?
