5 years ago, Chip made the decision to go all-in with his health and fitness. Chip is consistent and dedicated to getting better and learning every training session. He did this to put off 'aging' as much as he could so that he could continue to enjoy doing the things he loves to do. This is his story, in his words.

Happy October! I just wanted to give you an update on some of our ongoing charitable giving efforts. We are committed to developing programs to support our community and we believe that TOGETHER, we do more good.
We currently have 2 charitable giving programs that occur on a monthly basis: 1 - Our Greatest Gift Referral Program where we donate $10 to a local charitable organization for each referral you send us. 2 - Our not-so-talked-about Check-Ins for Charity Program where we donate to Sarah's House every time you check-in on Facebook. I explained everything for you here in this video:
Here is the down and dirty if you prefer to read rather than listen:
Greatest Gift Referral Program The Greatest Gift Referral Program is designed to help you share the gift of health and fitness with the people you care about most. This program gives your people access to 2-weeks of UNLIMITED group personal training with us (either in person or ONLINE - so they can join from anywhere in the world) plus a lot of coaching extras from us - a 1-on-1 Success Session, a personalized program workbook, and tons of support from our team. For every referral that signs up for a success session, we: (1) donate $10 in your name to a local charitable organization - right now we are raising money for a backpack program to give kids access to school supplies. (2) enter you in a drawing to win a $100 gift card to a local restaurant. CONGRATULATIONS - Shivani - you are the winner of the September drawing! Thank you for your referrals! Check-Ins For Charity Program Every time you 'check-in' to Wilcox Wellness & Fitness on Facebook, we donate money ($0.40 for each check-in) to Sarah's house which is a place for cancer patients and their caregivers who live outside Bangor to stay while they are receiving treatment. Our Check-Ins for Charity Program accomplishes 3 goals: (1) it helps hold you accountable to attending your weekly training sessions. (2) it helps more people become aware of our training program so that they can commit to healthy living (3) provides much needed and appreciated donations to Sarah's House We have been running this Check-Ins for Charity Program for a few years now and we have donated just over $2,000 to date. We donated $40.40 for the month of September and we would LOVE to see this donation closer to $100 per month so please - check-in and let people know about your training experience! We are so thankful for you and our ability to do more good in our local community. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all. Lots of love, Paige & Mike WANT MORE OF THIS?

This month is all about proper footwork and connecting it to core tension and great posture. Footwork is essential for every single movement. This may seem basic, but your footwork will determine the quality of your movements. When your footwork is misaligned, whether, in movement or stationary, you create bad habits that create compensations that lead to pain and eventually injury.
It is crucial that you continue to build quality footwork that lines up the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. Slow down, perfect your footwork, and your movements are guaranteed to improve quickly. What you want to be working on:
LIVE October PreTraining Breakdown (Presentation) by Paige Wilcox
Although there are quite a few movements here, it does not take long to cruise through each series!! You can do it. Have fun, work hard, and be willing to teach yourself how to move better.....your time investment is well worth the results from practicing!! Practice! Practice! Practice! Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need any help at all! Mike
Continuous improvement is one of our core values - we are constantly pushing the envelope to improve and evolve our training program.
We are constantly striving to be on the cutting edge of what is going on in the fitness industry to help our clients move better, feel better, and train better. Mike is proud to be one of only a few Functional Patterns Human Foundations Practitioners in the world.
Functional Patterns is a methodology that focuses on making bio-mechanical adaptations relevant to human physiology which in turn create a more sustainable body that has improved capability of responding to stressors in the environment. And that's all just fitness talk for moving better, feeling better, and training better. This video is an inside look at Mike workshopping some of those movements with our clients.

Want to know what is good for your immune system? EXERCISE. That's right. A new study (linked below) showed that adults who worked out (cardio + strength training) had a lower risk of a COVID-19 infection and complications related to COVID-19. The South Korean researchers said regular exercise helps: - Cut the risk of infection - Boost the immune system, and - Reduce disease-causing inflammation in the body. The study also noted that the World Health Organization recommends people be as active as possible AND encourages everyone to engage in regular aerobic physical activity, as well as bone and muscle-strengthening activity. It’s time to GET ACTIVE – and encourage your family and friends to join you! So - please like this post and share this post so that more people can see it.

You’ll never believe what I’m about to confess… I used to be scared to death of the gym.
True. Story. But here I am... And you know what I’ve learned? Personal trainers and our gym community is the most welcoming and kind environment that you could imagine
I hear the same story from so many people and then after a few weeks of training with us, they call WILCOX their happy place!
So tell me, is there a fear that you have when it comes to getting started in a training program that I can help diminish as someone who also used to be scared to get started? Let me know, I’d be happy to help! PS - This video is from our StickMobility session. I LOVE using the mobility sticks in my training sessions. These little movements don't look like much, but they build a ton of strength and mobility throughout the body. Happy training! Paige WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.
