Many other personal trainers on Long Island can be seen doing really “cool” workouts that make fitness fun and exciting. Me I personally focus on the things that work to get results. That’s a completely different topic we will cover at another time.

So why would I ever make my clients climb things in the park?

Is it because it’s a good workout? No

Is it because it’s fun? No

Is it because it will burn fat? Nope

It’s because it pushes them outside of their comfort zone!

You see all the things that you do not have yet that you want in life are on the other side of your comfort zone.

The only way to strengthen this muscle like any other muscle is to constantly challenge it.

Fitness, health, strength, fat loss, they are all on the other side of your comfort zone.

You better get used to stepping outside of it if you want to get what you want out of yourself and in life!

Even the best personal trainer near you cannot do this for you. You must look at yourself and decide you are going to get what you want! No go get it! ​

​The reason we do is because TRUE fat loss can never be made with these “30 lbs in 30 days” gimmicks. Sure you can starve yourself and lose a ton of water weight, stored carbohydrates and even muscle mass....but is that what you really want? To end up looking 30lbs smaller and “skinny fat” with no muscle?

An example of “fat loss” looks like comes from our client Mike

Mike was 220 just 3 months ago and now he’s down to just under 206 and still going. That’s 14 lbs in 3 months but it’s right around 1-1.5ls ever week. At that rate Mike has been able to maintain muscle and strength and also drop purely body fat. These are the changes that you look at a person and say wow you look great!

Looks great after the fact but mikes weight loss was not linear. He actually gained some weight during this transformation as one week his weight was higher than the previous on multiple occasions. The main factor is however that his weight trended down overall. It’s so important to just keep going. Weight loss is never linear and expecting it to be is a recipe for failure.
