 If you’ve been struggling with motivation, I want you to hear this:
✨ You are not lazy. ✨ You are not weak. ✨ You do not need more discipline. You just need more support. Most of the people who walk through our doors say things like: “I know what to do. I just can’t stay consistent.” “I’m good for a few days… then I fall off.” “I need something that holds me accountable.” That’s what our coaching is built around. ✅ A simple structure ✅ Real accountability ✅ Progress that builds momentum Our core message to you: “Just Show Up. Even if you’ve got just 2% to give, just show up. That’s enough.” When you do? You start to feel better. You build confidence. And suddenly - you’re the one who’s showing up consistently. Ready to feel like that again? We’re here when you are.

“I’m 41. I couldn’t bend over to put on socks.” That was Karyn’s reality. Her hips were locked. Her confidence was low. She wasn’t sure if she could ever move comfortably again. She tried yoga. It helped a little - but not enough. Then she found WILCOX. And everything started to shift. From Frustrated to Free Within weeks of starting our personalized coaching program, Karyn noticed a difference:
Now? “I move like myself again.” She’s back to doing the little things most of us take for granted—like tying her shoes, walking comfortably, and feeling confident in her own skin. No One-Size-Fits-All Here If you’ve ever thought:
Know this: you’re not alone. And you’re not out of options. We specialize in supporting:

Sound familiar? We hear this almost daily from new clients:
You’re not lazy. You’re not lacking willpower. You’re just missing the right kind of support. Why More Information Isn’t the Answer Most people already know what to do. What they don’t have is:
Instead of overload, we give you clarity. Instead of pressure, we give you progress at your pace. We coach in a way that makes fitness feel doable-not daunting. Creating the Best Part of Your Day One of our favorite things to hear? “This is the best part of my day.” Not because the sessions are easy. But because they feel encouraging, empowering, and real. Our clients feel seen - never judged. They walk out the door with energy, not exhaustion. And they keep coming back - not because they have to, but because they want to.

We hear this every day from people who walk through our doors:
Sound familiar? Here’s what we want you to know: You are not lazy. You are not weak. You are not broken. You just haven’t had the right structure and support yet. Why Motivation Isn’t Enough Most people don’t need more fitness advice. What they need is a system that works in real life. A plan that feels doable, not draining. At Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we provide:
Just one, two, maybe three things to focus on - things that actually move the needle. We Make It the Best Part of Your Day Yes, we help you get stronger and more energized. But even more? We help you enjoy the process. Clients tell us things like:
That’s what happens when fitness meets compassion. Your First Step Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect If you’ve been stuck in the loop of knowing but not doing—let this be your sign. The right plan + the right support = momentum you can trust. When you’re ready, we’ll be here. 🔗 [Let’s Chat - Book a Free Call] “I Just Need to Get Motivated…” Sound familiar? It’s one of the most common phrases we hear when people first reach out. And we get it. When life feels overwhelming, the idea of starting something new—especially something for you—can feel like a huge ask. But here’s what we want you to know: ✨ You don’t need motivation to begin. You just need a little momentum. Why Motivation Doesn’t Come First Motivation is a result, not a starting point. It shows up after you start—not before. Most of our clients didn’t feel excited or confident when they began. They felt hesitant. Nervous. Unsure if they could stick with it. But they made a quiet decision to try. They booked the call. They showed up for the first session. And something clicked: I can do this. One Step is All It Takes Progress doesn’t begin with hype. It begins with a small, quiet action—taken despite the doubt. 💡 One session. 💡 One deep breath. 💡 One decision to show up even when you’re unsure. That’s how momentum builds. And once it does? Motivation tends to follow. You’re Not Doing It Wrong If you’ve struggled to stay consistent in the past, it’s not because you’re unmotivated. It’s probably because you didn’t have the right support system. At Wilcox, we help you build consistency that feels safe, doable, and empowering—especially if you’ve had a rocky relationship with fitness in the past. We’re Here When You’re Ready No deadlines. No expectations. Just a space where you’re supported exactly as you are. 📞 Want to talk it through? 🔗 [Schedule Your Free Call Today]   What’s the Hardest Part About Getting Started with Fitness?
Spoiler alert: It’s not the training session. It’s not the warm-up. It’s not even the schedule. The hardest part—for most people we meet—is walking through the door for the first time. Why the First Step Feels So Hard Starting something new when you’re not sure you belong takes courage. Especially when your last experience with fitness felt intimidating, isolating, or discouraging. You might wonder: → Will I be able to keep up? → What if I’m the slowest person in the room? → What if I’ve waited too long to start? These are real, valid fears. And we hear them every single day. But here’s what we also see every single day: People who felt unsure... walking out of their first session feeling supported, capable, and hopeful again. What Happens When You Walk Through the Door At Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we specialize in personal training for adults 40+ who want to move better, feel stronger, and build consistency—without intimidation. You’re not expected to know what to do. You’re not here to perform. You’re here to be coached, encouraged, and safely guided toward your goals. And once you take that first step? You’ll realize: you’re not alone. And you do belong here. You Don’t Have to Be Ready. You Just Have to Begin. If you’ve been watching from the sidelines—reading the emails, following us on social, hearing friends talk about their experience—this might be your moment. Not because everything is finally perfect. But because something inside you is saying: “I deserve to feel good again.” 💬 When that moment comes, we’ll be here. No pressure. Just a safe place to start. Ready to Talk It Through? Book a no-pressure call and let’s talk about your goals. We’ll walk beside you every step of the way 🔗 [Schedule Your Call Here]  “I’ll Start When…”: The Myth That Keeps You Stuck If you’ve ever said: 👉 “I’ll start when I have more time.” 👉 “I’ll start after vacation.” 👉 “I’ll start when I feel more in shape…” You’re not alone. One of the most common things we hear from new clients is: “I’m just not ready yet.” But here’s the truth: You don’t have to feel ready to take the first step. In fact, most people who join our fitness programs don’t. Why Waiting Feels Safe—but Isn’t Serving You
There’s a sense of comfort in delay. You can’t fail if you haven’t started, right? But the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to begin. And every day you put off your goals is a day you’re stuck in the same cycle: 🥱 Low energy 🌀 Aches and pains 😞 Frustration and guilt At Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we help adults 40+ break that cycle—not with extremes, but with encouragement, structure, and support. What Starting “Before You’re Ready” Really Looks Like Starting doesn’t mean you’re confident. It means you’re curious. It means you’re hopeful. It means you’re ready for something to change—even if you don’t know exactly how. Here’s what our clients said after just a few weeks in our program: “I was nervous. I almost canceled. But I’m so glad I came.” “I didn’t think I could keep up. But now I actually look forward to it.” “This has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.” You don’t need to earn your spot here. You just need to take it. Fitness Built for Real Life (Not Perfection) Our approach is rooted in functional movement, expert coaching, and a lot of compassion. We work with people who: ✅ Haven’t trained in years ✅ Are recovering from injury or burnout ✅ Want to feel better—but not get hurt doing it This is fitness for real life—especially if you’re 40+, busy, or just tired of starting over. From Overwhelmed to Empowered: One Step at a Time Whether it’s your first session or your fiftieth, we’ll guide you with: → Personalized support → Encouraging coaching (no shame, no “beast mode”) → Realistic progress that actually sticks Our clients don’t chase perfection. They build momentum. And it all starts with that one small decision to show up. Still Not Sure? Let’s Just Talk. We know it can feel scary to begin. That’s why we offer free, no-pressure calls to answer your questions, learn about your goals, and see if we’re a good fit. 📞 Ready to talk it through? 🔗 [Book Your Free Call Here] “You Literally Changed My Life.” Karyn Sporer’s Journey from Injury and Exhaustion to Strength, Structure, and Joy If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to get back in shape, feel strong again, or reconnect with your body—this story is for you. Watch Karyn share her transformation in her own words: Karyn Sporer, a former college athlete and active professional, knows what it feels like to go from peak performance to painful limitations. After years of old injuries and exhaustion, she found her way back to strength and confidence at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness.
From Competitive Sports to Constant Strain For most of her life, Karyn thrived in motion. She played college soccer, trained hard, and lived for that "post-practice high." But over time, the wear and tear of sports caught up with her. Despite her efforts to stay active with running, swimming, and yoga, something felt off. "I just didn't feel good. Yoga left me sore in a bad way. I felt unfit and unhappy." A Wake-Up Call at 41 Everything changed on a flight. "I fell asleep on an airplane. My foot went numb. When I stood up, I aggressively rolled my ankle. I'd already had two surgeries on it. That was my wake-up call. I knew I needed help getting back into fitness." This wasn’t just about her ankle. It was about reclaiming her body—and her life. From Daily Struggles to Daily Wins Karyn had reached a breaking point. "My husband had to help me put on pants. I couldn't tie my shoes. I was only 41. I thought, 'Is this what happens when you've played sports your whole life?'" She tried everything solo. Nothing stuck. Then she joined Wilcox Wellness & Fitness. The WILCOX Method: Structure + Flexibility "WILCOX has been a game changer. The structure works for me—but it's flexible. As a professor, I have a weird schedule. I can adapt my training week by week, and I never feel uninspired." At WILCOX, she didn’t just find workouts. She found a mindset shift: "Even when I’m making coffee, I hear the coaches in my head: 'engage your core,' 'align your posture.' It’s cheeky—but it’s real. I’m moving through life differently now." Her Biggest Wins?
"I feel high on life again. Like I used to after soccer practice." Her Message to You "You’ll know when it’s time. And when you are ready, it’s worth every penny. No regrets." "For me, this was about reclaiming the next 40 years of my life. And Wilcox made that possible. You literally changed my life." Ready to Start Your Journey?

Every July 4th, we celebrate our country’s independence with cookouts, fireworks, and flags. But for many of us - especially as we get older - there’s another kind of freedom we crave. 💭 Freedom from constant aches and pains 💭 Freedom from feeling stuck in our bodies 💭 Freedom to move, play, and live without hesitation At Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we believe true independence starts with feeling good again. And that’s exactly what our personal training programs are designed to help you reclaim. Why “Freedom to Feel Good” Matters More Than Ever As we age, we often lose more than strength. We lose confidence. Energy. Motivation. And most gyms? They’re not built for people who want to move better - they’re built for people who already feel strong. That’s where we do things differently. We specialize in functional fitness for adults 40+ - people who want to: ✅ Move without pain ✅ Rebuild strength and balance ✅ Feel energized and confident again You don’t need to “get in shape” before starting. You don’t need to push yourself past your limits. You just need to start. The First Step to Reclaiming Your Independence The first act of strength isn’t lifting a heavy weight. It’s making the decision to start. To say: ✔ “I want to feel better in my body.” ✔ “I’m ready for something that actually supports me.” ✔ “I deserve to feel strong again.” Our coaches are here to help you do exactly that - safely, gradually, and with a plan built for your life. Real Clients. Real Freedom. Here’s what our clients have said about finding their own freedom through movement: “I used to dread stairs. Now I take them two at a time.” “I didn’t think I’d ever feel strong again after my injury. WILCOX gave me that back.” “This isn’t just fitness - it’s therapy, support, and progress that lasts.” Imagine Your Version of Freedom Maybe freedom means: → Going for a hike without worrying about your knees → Feeling confident in photos again → Having the energy to play with your kids or grandkids You don’t need to figure it out alone. We’ll help you build the strength to live the life you want - inside and outside the gym. Ready to Reclaim Your Freedom? 📞 Let’s talk.

But here’s the truth we see every day at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in Bangor & Brunswick Maine: 👉 There’s no perfect time to start your fitness journey. 👉 There’s only now. We recently kicked off our KickStart Program, and the transformation is already in motion. What stands out most is that this group didn’t wait until their schedules cleared, the weather cooled down, or their motivation peaked. They said yes before they felt ready. And that made all the difference.  Why Waiting for the "Right Time" Rarely Works
It’s a common belief: “I’ll start after vacation… after the kids go back to school… when life slows down.” But what we’ve learned from coaching thousands of clients through our 28-day KickStart Program is this: ❌ Life doesn’t slow down. ✅ But YOU can decide to start, regardless. In fact, starting when life is busy might be the smartest move you can make. Why? Because it shows you how to fit health into real life - not just ideal conditions. And that’s where lasting momentum begins. The Power of Showing Up Before You’re Ready When you join KickStart, you don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to feel “fit enough.” You just need to be ready for something different. Most of our clients come in feeling:
But what we see - especially by Week 3 - is nothing short of remarkable. People begin to move with confidence. They sleep better. They smile more. One client described it perfectly: “By Week 3, I felt lit from within. Like I had a motor powering me from the inside.” That’s the power of starting before you feel ready. Because action creates clarity. And with the right support, you don’t stay stuck. What Is the KickStart Program? KickStart is a high-support, low-pressure fitness and wellness experience designed specifically for people who are:
It includes: ✅ 3 group training sessions per week (with personalized coaching) ✅ Access to a private nutrition resource library ✅ Weekly check-ins with your coach ✅ A private one-on-one orientation to get started with confidence ✅ 28 days of support, structure, and real progress And most importantly, it’s not a bootcamp. It’s not about pushing harder or being the fastest in the room. It’s about feeling stronger, supported, and more in control again. Results You Can Expect By Week 3 Here’s what many KickStarters report by the third week: ✨ More energy throughout the day ✨ Reduced joint pain and stiffness ✨ Improved posture and confidence ✨ Better sleep and digestion ✨ A noticeable mindset shift - “I can do this” becomes the norm We’ve seen people go from total skepticism to total ownership of their health in just a few short weeks. Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait for the Perfect Time. Create the Momentum Now. If you’ve been holding out for the perfect moment to start your fitness journey, we want you to know: you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be. Our clients prove it every single month. The ones who start before they feel ready are often the ones who create the deepest, most lasting change. So let us ask you: What could change in your life if you stopped waiting and started today? Ready to KickStart Your Momentum?
