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.

We have asked our trainers to make A LOT of pivots over the last couple of months and they have handled it all with grace and poise and have just made it look so easy to go from in-person coach to online coach.
NOW THIS... My 2 year old needed to be held during my training session and Katie did not miss a beat. We call this workout: 45 pounds of burning LOVE. Don't worry... I didn't toss her around for too long. Thanks for making it work, Katie! <3 WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

Never in a MILLION YEARS did I think that I would be recording videos of myself WORKING OUT in MY KITCHEN and posting them to social media... but here we are.
It has taken a lot for me to become comfortable in front of the camera - it is not something that I naturally enjoy... My major motivation in putting myself out here is to inspire other people to show up as they are and make a commitment to live a healthy lifestyle. My goal in life is to help other people create a lifestyle that they LOVE. So that they can have the energy to play with their kids, so that they can ENJOY all of the activities that set their soul on fire, and so that they can feel really great in their skin. So... if you see me doing really awkward star jumps in my kitchen... that's what I'm doing it for... and that is so much more important to me than feeling a little bit uncomfortable. I hope it is helpful to see another Mom just making it work. Lots of love, Paige WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

It is so inspiring to me to see how hard Mike works with our trainer team to push our training methods and training program forward. Here is a look at Mike and our Senior Trainer, Katie working together via LIVEStream on Functional Pattern movements. We continue to study and work and practice to help our clients move better and live better with less pain. When life throws lemons - you move your entire business online, you look for reasons to make it work, you look to what you can control, and you look for the positive in every moment.

Hard to imagine that it was less than 2 weeks ago that we pivoted our business to be 100% online. I am so proud of our entire team. Our trainers are coaching their hearts out and providing vital support to our clients through this time.
What I love so much about watching this video is you can hear Katie's constant coaching and support throughout the training session. It really does feel like I am right in the gym with her for a normal training session (less the 2-year-old climbing on my back every time I get into plank position). Hope you enjoy this look at what it is like to be trained by a WILCOX trainer. <3 Paige WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

Mike and I have been in it 24/7 for the fight of our lives to save our business, serve our community, and protect the jobs of our employees. What I have learned: - When it's do or die time... you just do. We had plans to bring our training program online... We thought it would take us 12-18 months - we made it happen in 72 hours. - You just have to show up. Show up in a dirty house, with screaming kids, jet-lag, and dirty hair. Just show up. - What is most important in my life: (1) the health, safety, and happiness of my family; (2) serving others through this difficult time. I am thankful for... - Our amazing team who have been training their hearts out this week. - Technology that has allowed us to bring our training experience online. - Our community - so many people have reached out to offer help, support, and encouragement. - Mike - you are always the calm in the storm, you bring such great perspective to every challenge, and there is no one I would rather be stuck in a crisis with. Lots of love for you all! Let me know how you are holding up or if there is anything I can help with! I think I am out of house arrest April 2nd. <3 <3 Paige
Our business plan covered a lot of things - a global pandemic was not one of them. In this interview with Cary Weston, we talk about innovation in the midst of a pandemic - how our business is adapting in real-time.
We definitely don't have it all right but we are learning on the fly, making it work, and letting our commitment to helping people guide us through this uncertain time. Hope you enjoy the interview. Lots of love! Paige & Mike Necessity is the motherhood of innovation. Mike and I have been working 24/7 to bring our training program to an online experience. My children are ferrel. My house is a disaster. But I am really proud to say that we are now LIVEStreaming our training sessions for our clients. We were LIVE yesterday in 2 locations and we trained over 85 of our clients via webcam. I am so proud of our team for delivering excellence today and trusting us to make this happen. I am so proud of our community for embracing this format in this difficult time. These sessions truly feel like you are right there with the trainer... less the travel time to the gym. We planned for a lot of things in our business plan - a global pandemic was not one of those things. But I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. And I believe we will all get through this together. Stay strong friends. Stay healthy. Stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️ Paige & Mike We are feeling so incredibly proud to work with this amazing team of dedicated fitness professionals. These are uncertain times for sure and there is no one else I would rather weather the storm with. It's been a little quiet from us lately here on our public social media presence but there has been a storm of activity behind the scenes as we develop contingency plans to keep our clients and our community healthy. So... just to catch you up - here is what we have been up to in the last few days... 1- Last week we went from increasing sanitization protocols, to limiting session size, to eventually closing the doors to our physical locations in both Bangor and Brunswick. 2 - Our family was in Costa Rica - we had been instructed to shelter in place and then on Monday a message came from Senator King's office to get home ASAP. We scrambled and got one of the very last flights out of Costa Rica on Thursday. It was a nail biter with 2 little kids. (Google flights from Costa Rica - there are none available - we are so thankful to be home!) 3 - We got to Bangor on Friday and got to work developing a program to LIVEStream our Training Sessions. 4 - Sunday we did a LIVE practice session with our team and it was INCREDIBLE - just like Mike was coaching us in the gym. 5 - TODAY our team will be familiarizing themselves with the tech and practicing delivering online training sessions all day. 6 - TOMORROW we are launching online LIVEStreaming training sessions. Here's a peek at our first ever practice session: WOW - a lot has changed in the last week. But I have to say, I love this community, I love our team, and I am looking for the good in every moment of this. I am so very thankful for you all. Lots of love, Paige |
