Treat yourself Right!

So you were you're running behind again today! You barely had time to grab as snack and some coffee on the way out the door this morning and you've been running ever since. You're proud of yourself for even having enough time to get to the gym today let alone fuel your body right! But before you push through that workout take a deep breath, stop for a second and listen.

Your body is trying to tell you something. You can't go to the gym when you are running on empty. Have a small snack before you hit the weights. You cannot expect your body to perform when you have not given it some fuel. If you are training first thing in the morning, order a shake when you walk in and drink half during your work out and finish it when you are done. There is no point in doing a workout on an empty stomach; you will not be able to push yourself to get the results you want if you don’t start with some fuel in your tank.

You wouldn't drive around town with the gas light on and low air in your tires! So why would we do that to ourselves? We are much more valuable! We may have to rush from one place to the next to accomplish everything we have to in a day, but don't forget that if we want lasting Results, we have to treat out bodies with care.

Drop 2 sizes in just 8 weeks!!

Every year at your holiday parties there’s someone who steals the show with their knock out figure! You think to yourself, “This year I'm going to be that person!" People will stop in their tracks and say, "You look amazing! What have you been up to?" Lucky for you the Results Fitness D2S Challenge begins September 23rd. You can drop two sizes in just eight weeks!

Year after year this challenge has helped so many men and women, members and non-members, to drop two sizes in eight weeks. And each year more and more participants join in and commit to following the simple nutrition recommendations, working out 3-4 days a week, and attending the incredibly powerful accountability meetings. The photo shoot and celebration at the end of the challenge is always a blast with everyone flaunting their new size!

Invite your friends to what is guaranteed to be the best one yet! Bring the article of clothing that you want to fit into, jeans work best, to Results Fitness before Monday, September 23rd, and get signed up to drop two sizes in the next eight weeks!

What should you expect?

During the eight weeks you will be challenging yourself each day and each week to build new behaviors and change old habits until they are a part of your daily regimen.

It will be “challenging” at first, hence the reason this is called a challenge, but after the first 30 days your new behaviors will become a way of life.

The D2S Challenge is a different kind of challenge because it allows for some flexibility. A research study to evaluate self-regulation with weight loss and weight maintenance over two years showed that one of the keys to sustained results is to end emotional eating (the “on” and “off” pattern you may know well) and instead allow flexibility to realistically be able to stick to your new lifestyle long term.

You’ll learn about the 90% rule and how to enjoy your splurges 10% of the time.

The D2S Challenge is your kick-start to changing your behaviors including your exercise, your nutrition, and above all your thinking as you begin your lifetime journey as the new you.

This challenge has been the catalyst for many of our clients in reaching their potential both physically and mentally. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more, challenge yourself, and set yourself a motivating goal! Click here to start your D2S Challenge right now!

Polar GX at Results Fitness

One of the things we hear a lot at Results Fitness is "you guys are always adding new things to make the gym better." That's true but what we are really doing is adding new things that will make our clients "better." What we mean is that we add these new things because we believe they will increase our clients results, help them to reach their health and fitness goals more successfully and improve their overall experience at the gym. Much time and research goes into the decisions we make concerning these improvements. The question we ask whenever we are considering adding something new is "How will this increase our clients success in the gym?" We will never add something simply because it is the current fitness trend.

The new Polar GX system that we are using in our group classes is an example of a tool we know will help increase the results of our clients. This system allows our clients to actually see their heart rates up on a screen while they are working out. Why is this important? Well for one, clients and coaches are able to accurately measure the intensity of the workouts. And two, the visual feedback provides an incredible amount of motivation and, often times, healthy competition.

Our mission statement at Results Fitness is "Changing the Way Fitness is Done!" And, one of our core values is "Keep Leading." What this means is that we strive to be pioneers in our industry, constantly researching and applying new and effective methods to help our clients achieve the best results possible. We are doing just that with the Polar GX system.

Other gyms using the Polar GX system use it primarily for aerobic training, or long steady state cardio. This is fine and Polar GX is tremendous in this regard but as many of you know at Results Fitness we do not do aerobics, or long steady state cardio for fat loss. Because of this we are changing the way Polar GX is done by developing a new method of what is called Zone Training. What our team has done is develop group programs specifically for doing HIIT, high intensity interval training, using the Polar GX system. This is a more true form of interval training that not only focuses on workout intensity but also recovery. Essentially what we are looking for are bouts of maximum intensity work (HR 90% and above) followed immediately by appropriate recovery (HR 70% and below) followed by maximum intensity work and so on. Why do it this way? Why not just do aerobics? One might ask. The answer is simple: Because you will lose more fat!

In August these new group programs will be introduced into the schedule and will be marked so everyone knows to wear heart rate monitors in the class. If you do not have a either a heart rate monitor or the GX strap which is used in the classes they are available at the front desk. A GX strap is only $20 and it is yours. All you need to do is pick up the monitor at the front desk before class (and return it after class), snap it on to your strap, check in on the computer in the class and you are ready to go. If you want any more details please feel free to ask anyone on the Results Fitness team and we will get you started.

Come in and give the Polar GX Zone Classes a shot. We know you will love them!

Results Fitness: Cutting Edge Solutions! Get Tuned Up!

Ever taken your car in for a tune-up? It’s always a good idea to be on a regular “tune up” schedule with both your car and your body to avoid a breakdown. Results Fitness tune up classes, designed and delivered by our Physical Therapist Amy Wunsch, will “release the brakes” to speed up your progress in your fitness and body composition goals. 


The “brakes,” so to speak, on your progress, can be a number of factors that will all be addressed, including areas that are tight or have knots, or stabilizer muscles that need to be switched on. She has created a workout that will stretch what needs to be stretched, strengthen what needs to be strengthened to “tune you up” to get your body working optimally. 


These Tune-Up sessions can be done before or after one of the other classes or workout sessions or on a day off. You’ll walk out feeling taller, looser, with less tension and renewed overall to attack your next workout. Fit a “tune up” into your schedule 1-2 times a week. You’ll be so glad you did!

10% Splurge! 90% Compliance!

Have you ever started a diet or nutrition program where you made certain foods off limits?  While following this program, did you find yourself frequently craving these off limits foods?  In many cases, we get to the point where we give in to this food, and then continue to eat it past the point of fullness, even when the food doesn't make us feel good.  This is exactly why it's important to allow yourself the weekly 10% of non-compliant foods.  When you have access to the foods that were once off limits on a regular basis, they become much less appealing.  When you can actually sit down and eat a bowl of ice cream, instead of sneaking in the "I'm not really eating this" spoon fulls every time you open the freezer, you may start to find that the ice cream will lose its appeal.  So allow yourself the occasional, guilt-free splurge, and you will likely find your 90% easier to stick with.
