What Now????

We’ve all had moments in our lives where we are faced with a choice that is life-changing.  Often times, these moments involve some degree of risk-taking.  Many of us often marinate over the pros and cons of the choices that we make and hope that what we choose is the best option for us and the situation at hand.  Many people believe that every move that we make has already been laid out for us…

How to avoid the Thanksgiving bloat!

It’s that time of year again…. time to give thanks for everything that we have, time to be with friends and family and of course, EAT! This is the time of year that personal trainers like me are one of two things, either extremely busy or extremely slow. People have good intentions when it comes to exercising and being healthy but this time of year, we all have a way of letting things fall by the…

Rest & Recovery is part of the process!

I meet with people pretty regularly who have either injured themselves or are just bouncing back from a surgery. The one thing I hear from a majority of my clients when I tell them about either scaling back their training regimen or inserting a few rest days in between their workout days, is that none of them want to modify their training routine. Either because they feel 100% better, which…

How to Stay Motivated...with anything!

Motivation is an odd emotion/mindset to have if you really sit there and think about it. Where does it come from? How is it created inside the body? No matter what the answer to those questions maybe, we each experience and utilize motivation differently and create many varieties of projects with the motivation that we have. Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated and then other times, it’s easy…

Can I build muscle with Low T?

As I’ve talked about before, testosterone is incredibly important for muscle production in both men and women, especially men. For a lot of men, building muscle can be an arduous process due to low testosterone levels (Low-T) and can make the task of making gains in the gym that much more tough. If a man’s testosterone is low, the body increases it’s production of estrogen, which can adds fat to…

Introducing: The Flip Your Script Podcast!

Remember the ManAlive Podcast? I’m sure some of you do but I’ve been busy rebranding and retooling. It is now officially renamed the Flip Your Script Podcast! The FYS Podcast is still male-centered: men’s issues, men’s mental health, etc., but is for both men and women! I still plan on having great guests on to talk about topics such as mental health, fitness, nutrition, masculinity and much…

RT includes activities and a variety of techniques such as arts/crafts, animal therapy/interactions, games, sports participation,…

Male Pelvic Problems & Solutions...

Over the years I have treated patients and trained clients who have/had pelvic floor dysfunction of some sort. The commonality of these types of issues is more prevalent than you think. One in three women will experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) in their lifetime. For women, PFD’s occur when women have weakened pelvic muscles or tears in the connective tissue, which may cause pelvic organ…

Balance Makes Perfect....

With the aging Boomers around the country, Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers and other professionals who work with the aging population have found themselves overrun with treating balance issues, neurological diseases, bone and joint problems and a handful of other problems that affect a person’s ability to function from day to day. Personal Trainers like myself have the responsibility of…

How can you make your Personal Training business more marketable and income-friendly?

I struggle with this issue on the reg and it never gets any easier. Ask any serious trainer who is in the market about bettering themselves and making themselves available to a broader client-base, we all think about it constantly. Why? The fitness world is an ever-changing environment, constantly adding new and interesting workouts, apps and things to enhance our health and fitness experiences.…

Why I (personally) loathe bodybuilding culture...

Let me start out by saying that I truly admire bodybuilders for the hard work that they put in to their bodies day in and day out because obviously it’s not something everyone can do. What sparked this entry was a conversation I was having at work about somebody who frequents the gym, actively competes and uses PED’s. I made the comment, “Oh, so he’s taking the easy way out then.” As long as I’ve…

Coach, Therapist....What do you need today?

Coach, Therapist….What do you need today?

As I’ve stated many times before, personal fitness trainers are multi-faceted in their jobs because let’s face it, we have to be. You can’t teach someone how to be a people person, either you have the gift of versatility when you speak to a client or you don’t. Sure, you can wiggle your way through it uncomfortably but some people are better than other when trying to carry on a conversation or to…

Fat-Shaming is never ok...just remember that.

Fat-Shaming is never ok…just remember that.

I was watching a TikTok yesterday which contained an interview with a so-called ‘Trainer’ saying that sometimes fat-shaming is needed to help motivate a client to self-motivate themselves into progressing in their fitness journey. Using phrases like ‘I had a fat client who……or ‘Fat-clients need to suck it up sometimes because….’ THIS IS NEVER OKAY TO SAY TO ANYONE! Shame on this person for even…
