WHY YOU NEED A PERSONAL TRAINER
In 2007 Harvard Medical School published a report on strength and power training. In that report they recommended that people should seek out the services of a personal trainer in order to develop a well rounded routine.
I know that a lot of you out there see us (personal trainers) as a luxury, but we should not be. How much money have you spent on supplements and pills and devices that promise outrageous weight loss and strength gains? Your chances of success would greatly increase if you followed the guidelines we set for you. It is human nature to want to achieve a goal in the shortest and easiest amount of time, but realistically fitness is a life long pursuit and should be looked at as a lifestyle change.
A good trainer can custom tailor a routine to your needs and therefore help you reach your goals much faster. It is also our goal to help you exercise correctly and safely. How many of you have been to a gym only to be overwhelmed by the vastness and the dizzying array of equipment? We will be there to guide you through each step. As a trainer I can answer any questions you might have and help you understand why we are performing a certain exercise. I will also listen to any problems you might have and offer dating advise if need be.
Your trainer should be certified as we all are at One 2 One Fitness. Don't be impressed by the number of certifications though, as there are trainers out there who have certification upon certification. Put more stock in testimonials and cases where he or she has changed a person's life for the better. Most trainers will offer an initial consultation, so that you can meet and they can also perform an assesment. At One 2 One we review your medical history, discuss and injuries/surgeries past and present and then we proceed into a light workout where we assess your fitness level and learn what your goals are. If you find a trainer who fails to do these things please pack your stuff up and get out.
For long term you need to mesh with your trainer. At One 2 One Fitness we offer a free week for all new clients so that you may better understand how we will work together. After all if you and your trainer are not compatible how do you think the workouts will go?
You want to look for a trainer who has experience in training various segments of the population. There are trainers who specialize in athletes, couch potatoes, or follow a certain method of training. It really is up to you to find the trainer with the right style that fits your needs. Some people like to have a trainer in their face, others need more support and others like to be left alone.
Whatever your goals may be, make an investment in personal training. Find a certified, reputable trainer that will fit your needs. Ask questions. get referrals and look at testimonials from previous clients. At One 2 One Fitness we develop people and not just guide them through the motions. Call us today for a free consult and your free week of private personal training. Stop wasting time and get on board. We guarantee results or your money back!

Are You Powerless to Holiday Pounds?
The season of deck-your-waist-with-extra-pounds is officially here. So what are you going to do about it? Will you join the masses who faithfully gain 5 pounds between November and January? Or will you do something different this year? It is entirely possible to avoid the dreaded holiday chub by following this simple strategy: All About PowerTo begin, it's important that you approach your goal from a place of I can rather than I can't.Most diet and weight loss plans begin by outlining everything that you can't eat. You can't enjoy the buffet at your office holiday party. You can't taste the fudge that your aunt Frances made. You can't partake in the seasonal coffee drinks. You can't, you can't, you can't. It shouldn't be surprising when the diet only last a few days before your inner rebel breaks out and defies all the rules by mowing through an entire plate of Christmas cookies in one sitting. When you begin from a place of can't, you forfeit all of the power. On the other hand, when you approach your goal from a place of I can, the power swings back into your favor. Use these 3 steps to re-gain your power:
- Focus on positive action.
Rather than obsess over what you can't eat this holiday season, I want you to take the positive action of exercising into your own hands. Every time that you complete a workout feel the surge of empowerment that comes with the accomplishment.
- Schedule positive action.
The next step is to concretely schedule your workout sessions. I advise that you exercise even more during the holiday season than normal, since you will be taking in more calories. If you normally exercise 3 times each week for 30 minutes, then plan to exercise 5 times each week for 45 minutes.
- Reward yourself for positive action.
At the end of each week take the time to reward yourself for successfully completing each scheduled workout. Don't use food as a reward, since you'll be taking in extra calories as it is. A massage, a new outfit, a leisurely hour spent at a coffee shop, or even a well deserved nap are all great ways to reward yourself.
What You BelieveThe people who won't gain any weight this holiday season already know it. How? They've decided not to gain weight, and they believe it. Do you believe that you won't gain weight this year? Or are your past failures keeping you less than confident? Let's create a strong belief that you won't be powerless to holiday pounds. In his book, Awaken the Giant Within, Anthony Robbins explains 4 steps needed to create a belief: Step One: Identify the basic belief. I won't gain weight this holiday season. Step Two: Reinforce your belief by adding new and more powerful references. This means focusing on the reasons that you don't want to gain the weight. Get out a sheet of paper and list all of the cons to you gaining an extra 5 or 10 pounds over the holidays. Spend a lot of time on this step. Reiterate to yourself over and over why you don't want to gain the weight. Step Three: Find a triggering event, or create one of your own. Disturb yourself. Try on your bathing suit, or better yet go out and try on bathing suits in dressing rooms with that awful lighting. Try on your skinny jeans. Try on last year's cocktail dress. Try on that outfit at the back of your closet that you still can't fit into. Step Four: Take action. Get started on your exercise program – right now. Taking action is the most important step, and the most rewarding. Call or email me right now, I'll help you get started on an exercise program and guide you step-by-step all the way to success. Who knows? I may even get you to your New Year's Resolution before January even starts. Give yourself the power to overcome holiday pounds – get started now.
Don't Stress
The holidays can become a stressful time, with places to go, presents to wrap and parties to plan. There is ample evidence that stress has a negative effect on your body and your metabolism. When your body is under stress it produces cortisol, a hormone related to the fight or flight response. This increase in cortisol causes weight gain, decreased metabolism and even depression.
This holiday season don't let stress get the better of you. Give yourself time to relax – you'll be leaner for it.

 This wrap is delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's ready in a flash, tastes amazing, and is filled with lean protein, veggies and whole sprouted grains. Try it today, but don't be surprised if you get hooked! Servings: 2 Here's what you need:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 cup tomato, finely chopped
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup egg whites
- dash of salt and pepper

- Spread a tablespoon of pesto over each tortilla and set aside.
- In medium sized skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until golden. Add the tomato and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until it is soft and wilted. Remove the veggies from skillet, set aside in a bowl.
