There are a lot of GREAT reasons to work with a trainer or fitness coach, but before you hire one or join a transformation program, be sure you have a clear idea of your major goals and why those goals are important to you.

​Having this nailed down will help you make better decisions when it comes to choosing the best team to support you. Take some time today to think about your health and fitness goals, and why these goals are so important to you.

Do you want to hire a trainer and live healthy so you can:

  • Have the energy to do the things you love to do...
  • Keep up with your children, and have fun doing it...
  • Feel great in your skin...
  • Have more mental clarity, and less stress in your life...
  • Become the very best version of yourself...
  • Have the motivation to do the things you want to do...
  • Climb mountains, enjoy the outdoor things our great state has to offer, participate in active events...
  • Lose weight and feel better...
  • Fully recover and gain strength back after an injury...
  • Get stronger so you are ready to tackle life...
*These are the types of goals we exceed at helping our clients achieve.

Hiring a trainer or coach is a GREAT way to fast-track your progress so that you get the results you’re looking for safely, quickly, and more easily (and even have a lot of fun along the way).

​But the truth is, finding exactly the right trainer or program or facility for YOU can be pretty confusing. It can also feel a bit intimidating, especially if you’re new to fitness studios and gyms.

Simplifying the Process

What questions should you ask? How do you make an informed decision, so you know you’re making the right investment in your health and fitness?

This guide will arm you with the questions to ask so you feel CONFIDENT when it comes to hiring a trainer or choosing a program or new gym. You’ll know exactly what info you need so that you can get the most VALUE for your money, time, and effort.
Picture

Here are some quick dos and don’ts when it comes to hiring a trainer:

  • Don’t hire based solely on price (more on that in the guide!)
  • DO get referrals and do pay attention to word-of-mouth
  • Do watch how they interact on social media platforms to get a flavor for their style, values, and community
  • DO ask lots of questions… and most importantly:
  • DO listen to your gut instinct!

Ultimately, you want to hire a trainer who:

  • Is experienced helping people like you get the results you’re after
  • Is a good fit personality-wise
  • Will push you and challenge you to be your best, even when you “don’t feel like it”
  • Will be there for you when you need it most and hold you accountable
  • Truly cares about you
  • Provides a good value for their time and expertise

We have tons more info, tips, and tricks to help you find the best personal trainer for you!

Foam Rolling to Loosen Up and Feel Better FAST

2/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Using a foam roller is a proven strategy to help you loosen up and feel better FAST.  With a foam roller, you are able to give your muscles a little self-massage. And it’s backed by science to help you feel less stiff almost immediately.
 
Scientists looked at several studies that explored self-myofascial release (the official term for what you’re doing when you use a foam roller), and they found that foam rolling had a BIG impact on increasing joint range of motion.
 
While it definitely worked for both men and women, it seemed to have a slightly larger impact on women, according to the researchers.

ADDED BONUS: if you work on your SMR at our gym in Bangor you get a little Ollie love as an extra added benefit.
➡ TIP: You aren’t limited to using a foam roller for self-massage. Tennis and lacrosse balls, massage sticks, massage “guns,” and other tools that help you target your muscles can also work!

HAPPY TRAINING!

How to prep lunch for a week for 2 hungry adults in less than 10 minutes...   For real!

5/17/2019

0 Comments

 
​How I put together 10 lunches in less than 10 minutes.

A few days ago I mentioned that it takes me 10 minutes (or less) to make a week worth of Buddha Bowls (10 bowls) for lunch to feed the 2 of us during the work week.  I do tend to exaggerate – but that was not an exaggeration.  I literally set a timer and went for it. 

A lot of people have asked me how I do this so quickly.  And I will say a few things – I have been doing this for a WHILE.  (1) I was not this fast when I first started #mealprepping.  As with anything, practice makes perfect AND speeds up the process.  (2) It comes down to the prepping – preparing your work space, having the right storage containers, etc…. I outline all of that in the Meal Prep Guide that we put out recently.  If you don’t have that yet, grab your copy here.

Buddha Bowls can be ANYTHING – mostly plant based, with a good balance of carbs, fat, and protein.  The cool thing is, you can throw anything in that you want!  Use your dinner leftovers, use the freshest local produce, add lots of greens, include a grain, and top it off with something crunchy. 
Picture

Here is my step by step of how I whip together 10 Buddha bowls in less than 10 minutes:

Step 1: line up all of your containers
Step 2: get out all of your ingredients
Step 3: add all of your greens to all of your containers
Step 4: batch add all of your veggies.  This week I used: bell pepper, broccoli, and cooked beats.
Step 5: add your protein source.  This week I had Mike grill up some extra chicken thighs for our Sunday dinner and I chopped these up and added them to our bowl.
Step 6: add your whole grain.  This was also a dinner leftover.  This week we used faro but you can use quinoa, brown rice, etc… whatever your little heart desires. 
Step 7: top it off with something like sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed, sesame seeds, etc… We used sunflower seeds this week.  I love the subtle salty crunchy.
Step 8: the most difficult step of all – stack these up in your fridge.  (I leave this job for Mike – he LOVES it – kidding) 

D O N E

In the morning you whip one of these bad boys out of your leaning tower of pisa fridge, dress it with your fav salad dressing, and you are out the door.

Having your lunch locked and loaded for the week will make all the difference in the world in terms of your success sticking to your nutrition goals.  It is just one less thing you need to think about, worry about, or plan for in the week.  AND – it takes next to no time to prepare.

So let me know – are you going to give this a go next week?  I hope so!  Let me know how it goes for you and what is going to be in your bowl!

E N J O Y!

Paige

Meal Prep Guide

5/6/2019

0 Comments

 
We are SO EXCITED to share with you our new Meal Prep Guide.  The guide outlines practical tips for making sure you always have a healthy meal ready when you need one. The best part is…. it doesn’t involve eating chicken and broccoli out of plastic containers… unless that is your thing.
 
Instead, it’s all about how to plan and prep your meals without disrupting your entire routine (i.e., meal prep for “real” people living real, busy lives!).
Picture
I made sure the guide has plenty of information on how to store your meals, too, so they don’t end up with “freezer burn” and also so you can avoid that nagging worry in the back of your mind about whether it’s time to keep or toss your prepped creations.
 
Here are just a few reasons to plan and prep your meals ahead of time:
  1. You’ll save time by cutting back on grocery trips
  2. No more stressing over what’s for dinner/lunch every day
  3. You’ll eat healthier whole foods
  4. You’ll reach your goals faster
  5. You’ll waste less food
  6. You’ll save money
  7. If you have a family, it will help develop healthier eating patterns for life
  8. You’ll feel better and have a LOT more energy (and better sleep!)
 
Your new Meal Prep Guide includes a couple delicious recipes that you can make-ahead to save yourself a ton of time!
 
One of our new favorite breakfasts (chia pudding) is in there, along with a delicious Beef Stew you can make in the pressure cooker in no time flat. 
 
This guide is another “thank you” for all your support. We want you to know how grateful we are to be able to do what we love each day. That’s all because of you!

Feel free to share this with your friends, family or coworkers who might benefit from it. We appreciate it!
 
ENJOY!
