The Rules of Fitness REBORN
FitnessIt feels like there is an unwritten rule that you have to do most of your training during the week. In reality, family or work commitments (or both) could mean it’s not the right fit for your life. Take our client, Joshua. Burning the candle on both ends, he was exhausted during the work week […]
FitnessGetting leaner doesn’t mean you need to beat yourself up in the gym. When I first started coaching, I thought barbell squats and deadlifts were non-negotiable. I plugged them in almost every client’s workout. But in over 17 years of coaching I’ve learned that while they’re incredible lifts, they’re not required to get strong, build […]
Client Case StudiesWhen Anthony, a 53-year-old, told us he wanted to look like Jason Statham, we gave him a plan he didn’t expect: Three workouts per week. A moderate calorie deficit. No complicated macros—just protein and total calories. Anthony was skeptical. His past weight-loss attempts followed the same frustrating pattern that probably looks familiar if you’re a […]
FitnessThanks to social media, fitness trends spread faster than ever. Instead of asking the biggest guy at the gym for advice, we now turn to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube for the latest training hacks. Sure, some trends are questionable. But every now and then, a simple, science-backed idea gains traction—one that can help you train […]

He’d still make progress toward his fat loss goals, even with just a 15-minute workout. Meet Chris. His world just got flipped: new job, territory sales, home office […]
The old adage is that you can’t out-train a bad diet. In other words, if you exercise but your diet sucks, your results will be limited. If you train consistently, you’ll get stronger, improve endurance, and support overall health, but the changes might not look as staggering. So, more accurately, if you’re looking to see […]

Studies show that up to 80% of people who lose a significant amount of weight end up regaining it within a year or two. This highlights a harsh reality: losing weight is challenging, but keeping it off can be even harder. Weight regain is common due to a complex interplay of factors. These include biological […]
Fitness NutritionNo matter what so-called gurus tell you on Instagram, struggling with motivation is normal. It’s part of the process. We all experience days and weeks when it’s hard to get your butt in gear, especially when it comes to fat loss. Overcoming Low Motivation: Key to Sustainable Fat Loss When it’s been a struggle to […]
Losing fat is difficult during the best of times. But, what about trying to get as lean as you’ve ever been while battling a back injury and working with limited equipment? Now that’s a challenge. But, our online coaching client Mitch did just that, dropping 11 pounds over 2 months. Mitch got into incredible shape. […]
Some weeks, you might not be feeling your workouts. It happens to all of us. Whether you’ve got a lot going on at work or sleeping terribly, you will be lagging some days. Here’s the key: It’s not about pushing the limits; it’s about learning how to have a great workout every time, no matter […]
Early in my career, I’d spend a significant amount of time trying to “correct” a client’s muscle imbalances. These were deficits or patterns I identified during a hands-on assessment at the gym. For some clients (mainly those dealing with chronic pain), this was the right call. But, for the rest, it meant that we didn’t […]
