You may experience some discomfort.
No, this isn’t the beginning of a list of side effects on some new drug.
Rather, think of a time in your life when you overcame a major physical or mental challenge.
Maybe that was finishing grad school, building a house, giving birth, or trying a new activity that scared you. (Sky diving, anyone?)
Recall how hard that challenge was.
How uncomfortable you felt. How you wanted to quit 100 times in the middle of it.
Now think about the person you became afterwards. Thanks to that challenge, you’re stronger, wiser, and more insightful and experienced.
Above all, you can point to that challenge and say, I survived that. I accomplished that.
Hang on to that feeling, because you’ll feel it again throughout your fitness journey.
In fact, maybe you’ve already felt that way. Good.
We need discomfort and challenge in order to grow, improve, and change. Discomfort in the service of change is no accident. It’s necessary and normal.
Without discomfort, we’d stay the same forever.
In order to lose fat, sometimes you’ll be a bit hungry.
In order to get stronger, sometimes you’ll be tired in the gym.
In order to transform your body, sometimes you’ll be a little uncomfortable.
It’s just a part of the journey.
Stay Fit
Mat ‘the trainer’
This is the most amazing group of people I've ever had the pleasure of working out with. They encourage each other and it feels like your part of something bigger then yourself. I can't begin to give Mat enough credit. I am completely out of shape and although there were so many other people there he took time to show me each set and was so patient with me.
Thank you Mat you and your group have really got me excited about changing my lifestyle so I can feel great again. What an amazing experience I can't wait to go back
For the last 7 weeks, I have been going to EXL Fitness and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I started with a just a 30 day challenge, but now I go every single day. I actually get excited when I go to bed at night because I can’t wait to workout first thing in the morning. The small shifts in a few lifestyle choices I have made have yielded real results. The environment at EXL is very accepting and inviting, while at the same time motivates and challenges you. They foster a friendly team atmosphere where others support you and help you do your best. Classes are small, so you get a lot of help and attention. The equipment is plentiful and clean, and I honestly learn something new every workout. Mat is a great personal trainer who takes the time to get to know you, explains the why and how of exercises and nutrition, and helps you reach your own goals. He’s always demonstrating correct form and correcting you if you’re out of alignment. I love that by changing a few key habits, I have increased my level of energy, strength, and my happiness. I simply cannot say enough about how grateful I am to have found this place at this time in my life. It is worth the try if you’ve been looking for a place to get strong, reach your goals, and try new and challenging workouts each day. I highly recommend EXL Fitness. Mat Gover is awesome!
I love this place and Mat I learned more here than any other place I have ever been, and that I could apply to my everyday life, and amazing results!! Highly recommend
