I know it’s been awhile since I’ve added to my blog. But, today’s topic seams relative to the time of year and to our current EXL Fitness Fit 4 Photos Transformation Challenge.
Ah, the plaintive cry of the frustrated client.
“IT’S NOT WORKING!”
Some days, it feels like you’re spinning your wheels. The harder you mash down on that gas pedal, the more your tires sink into the mud. You’re stuck.
But are you? Really?
From my experience in working with hundreds of clients, I know that one thing determines success: consistency.
The higher your consistency with workouts, nutrition habits, supplements and tracking , the better your results will be.
This is why we focus on ensuring that clients are – and can be – as consistent as possible. If you aren’t getting results, then we need to work on improving your consistency (and measuring that honestly and accurately).
Consistency equals success.
Well…it equals success most of the time.
You see, every year we get new client at EXL and there are a few folks who kick ass in the gym and the kitchen, stick to the program, stay positive and proactive… but don’t lose much (or any) fat.
This can happen for many reasons.
Whatever the reason, these few folks are nailing high consistency, but not seeing the numbers change.
This, too, is a valiant battle.
It’s hard to stay motivated and committed without these numeric rewards.
For this reason, we salute and recognize those that fall in to the “high consistency/low numeric change” category today — folks who are working hard, sticking to the program, and remaining enthusiastic even when the scale needle doesn’t budge.
Your consistency is high and you’re movin’ on
If you’re in the “high consistency/low numeric change” category, some advice.
If you are happy with your rate of change, keep up the good work! High five yourself and keep on truckin’.
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
