Personal Trainer in San Antonio

Act NOW.

Hey San Antonio,

There are a lot of people on the internet reading about weight loss. Learning how to change their body. Studying how to gain muscle, eat right and how to exercise.

To those people, congratulations.

However, you can read all you want. You can obtain a PhD in exercise science and performance nutrition. You can discuss training and your upcoming diet and lifestyle change until you can’t type nor talk anymore.

The perfect plan means nothing unless it is put into action. It will only work if once it is put into action, it stays in place. And it must change – the plan has to evolve as you begin to change. Training focus must shift as weaknesses become strengths. Nutrition must change to ensure that your new body is receiving the nutrients it needs, because as your body changes, its requirements change as well.

Enough studying. Enough research. Take the next step, and make your body become what you want it to become. Kill the old habits by creating new ones.

How Far Are You Willing to Go?

Hey San Antonio,

There’s a reason that health and fitness related searches are amongst the most popular on Google, Yahoo and Bing. There’s also a reason why the nutritional supplement industry, the diet industry, and the gym/fitness industry are all billion dollar industries.

While there’s a lot of effort searching for the “next big thing” or miracle weight loss pill, the truth is that most people simply don’t want the truth. They don’t want to hear that changing the body requires changes to the lifestyle as a whole, and that people who are willing to put forth the effort seem, to the unknowing, as if they are the member of a special cult. They can’t possibly be “normal” people with a real job that doesn’t allow them to workout 4 hours per day.

Fortunately, everyone I deal with on a daily basis is a “normal person” from the professional and personal standpoint. They have demanding jobs. They have relationships. They are parents. They have responsibilities far beyond waking up and working out for a few hours and then relaxing. Many of them have extreme circumstances, such as taken care of a special needs child, a sick parent or relative, two jobs and a demanding schedule or more.

Internally, there is nothing normal about the people that I deal with. They have made the decision that they want to change their bodies and control an aspect of their life that so few people are ever able to grasp. They face adversity in their journey, but most of the time are able to make the right decision. While I appreciate the faith they put in me and what I want them to do, before they ever get to that point, it had to start with their decision to take a friend’s recommendation to contact me or to google “personal trainer San Antonio”.

Furthermore, understanding the specific nutritional and training program that I devise for you is only a piece of the puzzle: it means nothing if you aren’t willing to follow it by the letter. There’s no deviation, no settling. I do provide some flexibility and allow each client a bit of freedom, but there’s a reason why my clients achieve outstanding success: they are ready to work their asses off and put forth the effort.

The great thing? Somehow, some way, making the right decision becomes second nature and your addiction to becoming the best you can possibly be becomes more and more overwhelming. So many of my clients go through this: they come to me and ask me to help them get to a certain point. To me, it doesn’t seem like much, but to them, they honestly don’t know. They’ve tried in the past without great success. Then, in what seems like a blink of an eye, but has actually been several weeks of intense workouts and the ultimate in self-discipline, they’re beyond where they thought they could be. And then, they see the possibilities. “If I can do this, how far can I go?” What was once “I just don’t want to be fat anymore” becomes “I want abs” or “I want definition in my arms, shoulders, legs and chest”. In some extreme cases? “I want to compete”.

And again, these aren’t freaks. They aren’t “gym rats” and they aren’t the “obsessed”. They’re just like YOU. They simply determine that they won’t be held back.

When you’re really willing to do the things that others will not do, then you’re ready to look like others want to look. The choice is yours.

So, IS IT WORTH IT?

Hey San Antonio,

Just want to take a second to share a little story about something that happened to me today! Is all we go through worth it? Is fat loss and looking/feeling great really that important? Of course, your answer is very individual specific, but I know how I feel about it. Enjoy the vid!

San Antonio Personal Trainer Testimonials

Hey San Antonio,

Here are a few testimonials that I have recently received from clients. Now, these individuals give me a lot of credit, and I’m completely gracious for that, but remember that it is their hard work and dedication that has made what I’ve done look really good. Application of the information is the key to body transformation, and these four individuals are walking advertisements for my personal training business.

I Achieved My Goals
I am so grateful for Personal Fitness Revolution and Boyd Myers. I was at point A and wanted to get to point B. My point B seemed like it was a bit far off. I needed to lose a lot of weight and gain a lot of muscle. I was wearing a size 38 jeans and had really packed on the pounds over the years. It was time for a change. After going to Boyd now for 7 months I am now wearing a size 30 jeans, look better than I looked in high school, and have so much more confidence about my appearance. If you stick to what Boyd tells you to do, YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND ACCOMPLISH GOALS. I consider it a huge blessing to have found Boyd to help me lose weight – he is someone that could push me and motivate me. If you are contemplating whether to hire a personal trainer and/or whether to hire Boyd – DO IT! You will be glad you did.

Thanks, Boyd!
At the end of June 2009 (about 7 months ago) my friend and I decided that we needed to get back into shape. We are both 31 year old males that “WERE” about 40lbs overweight. I tried to eat healthy and exercise on my own without much success. I decided to seek help from a personal trainer and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been roughly 7 months and I have lost 40lbs and 10 inches around my abdominal circumference. I started out at 24% body fat and now I am down to 10% and still losing fat. I am an extremely busy person, I don’t spend all day in the gym. I have an extremely busy job and life like everyone else. I workout with Boyd three days a week at Personal Fitness Revolutions one hour at a time. It is a lifestyle change that wasn’t as hard as I thought. Boyd doesn’t put you on a “diet”, It’s all about choosing the healthier options, the amount you eating, and when you eat. It is a realistic approach and easy to maintain. I have referred several people over to Boyd’s studio and they have had the same success. If you are ready to lose weight and start looking good I would highly suggest you give Boyd a call. I can’t express enough to Boyd how much I appreciate all he has done to help me get to where I am at today, I could not have done it without his assistance. I would be more than happy to talk to anyone about his services and give a referral. Just give Boyd a call and he will get you in touch with me.

My Hero!
Four weeks after having my third baby, I was ready for a change. I had no clue where I was going, or how to get there, but my whole body needed transformation. I emailed an inquiry to Boyd and Personal Fitness Revolution, thinking I would hear back within a week or two and I could make a decision. He emailed me within hours, instantly invested in my personal story and quest for body transformation. I started training four days later. That was in April 2009. Now, at the end of February 2010, I am leaner, more confident, more secure, and down over a total of 30 inches. Any other trainer would have brought me to my goals and stopped, or gotten me halfway there and sent me on my way. Boyd doesn’t believe I’ve come close to where I could be, and he is dedicated to getting me in the best shape I could ever want to be in. His whole program is individualized, and his expertise in subjects of fat loss, muscle gain and protection, nutritional timing, and one on one personal attention and privacy are beyond anything else in the San Antonio training world. Boyd, you are my hero and I will carry your voice with me for life. Anyone that doesn’t want to give Boyd a chance to help define, work toward, and exceed their goals is cheating themselves out of a life changing experience.

Training With Boyd
After only 6 weeks into my 12 week program at Personal Fitness Revolution, I have already exceeded my original goal and lost 6 inches off of my abdomen and reduced my body fat by over 6%. Boyd has kept me honest through personalized work-outs and easy to follow nutrition instructions… Boyd, I cannot thank you enough for all of the encouragement you have given me, and for getting me started on a lifetime of better health.

Thanks to all four of you for these kind words. Every session is a pleasure, and I’m thankful to have such motivated clients that put enough faith in what I’m asking them to do to actually follow it to the letter.

I cannot thank each of you enough!

What’s Holding You Back From Transforming Your Body

Hey San Antonio,

Here’s a quick video blog about issues a lot of people face when they want to transform their bodies. There is no easy, quick fix. First and foremost, you have to identify and alleviate any obstacles to give yourself the chance at long term body transformation and fat loss success.

Enjoy!

Slammed, But No Problem…

Hey San Antonio,

I do stay pretty busy all of the time, but now, with my full training schedule, online training, boot camp, and, oh yeah, family, life, relationships, etc, I don’t have a lot of time to just sit and relax.

But that’s fine. I totally believe in getting as much out of each day as I possibly can. I’m the type of person that if I leave something undone, I have a hard time sleeping at night.

Time is the single most used excuse when it comes to losing fat and changing the body, and in my opinion, it’s also the least credible. Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. To my knowledge, no one has found a way to cross the time/space continuum and obtain more hours in a single day. There are responsibilities, demands, and chores that require more of our time than we may feel we are able to give.

The bottom line is to prioritize what’s important. If changing your body is important, you’ll find a way to put forth the effort to prepare the necessary foods and put forth the effort in the gym. If it’s not a priority, you’ll find another excuse to put it off.

As a personal trainer, I realize that my “Only Results, No Excuses” mentality may actually frighten some potential clients, and I’m totally okay with that, because I want my clients to know that when they come to me, they’re achieve what they’ve come to achieve – not waste their effort, time and money to look the same after their time with me has come and gone. I’d prefer someone that isn’t ready to be committed and that will not finish what they start not come to visit me. I suppose, if you don’t take your results serious, that Lifetime Fitness and Gold’s Gym has a personal trainer for you.

When you make the decision to make an amazing change, like so many of my clients, such as Andy, Chade, Courtney, Matt, Deron, Mike and Desiray have, there’s no just “sticking your toes in the water”. Make the decision and jump in, and reap the benefits.

Training without nutrition will do you no good. Following a fad diet without providing the stimulus to change (exercise), you’ll change your weight, but be a smaller version of yourself (my going from a big pear to a smaller pear analogy). To make a drastic change, you have to put it all together in a sensible, well planned system.

It’s not easy, but well worth it. Besides, if it WERE easy, everyone would look amazing. Only the dedicated make real progress. Are you up for it?

San Antonio Personal Trainer: Nutrition and Training

Hey San Antonio,

Here’s a video blog where I discuss a few things you can do nutritionally to make a drastic impact in your fat loss. I have a lot of people that ask me how I train and since I train such a wide variety of people and everyone’s different, I touch on the things that are common factors in my clients’ training programs.

I still have a few slots open for my online personal training program, so if you’re not in San Antonio and are looking for a personal trainer, drop me a line. No matter your goal or current condition, I remove all guesswork for you.

Hope everyone’s having a great Tuesday!

Life…

Hey San Antonio,

Never wonder “what if”. Engage life. Grab it. Squeeze absolutely everything you can get out of it, and then some more. Never wait. Never hope. Do. It can be short. All to short. Accept challenges. Don’t settle for what you have done, but aggressively pursue what you will do. Leave no step un-taken, leave no stone unturned.

Remembering What is Important

Hey San Antonio,

This one isn’t so much about fat loss and body transformation – it’s remembering what is important. This one is from me and my son Peyton.

Make today great – settle for nothing.

If You Workout, You Should Look Like You Workout!

Hey San Antonio,

Today, I dropped by a commercial gym to visit a good buddy of mine and hung around for a few minutes and observed the patrons as they worked out. Admittedly, I don’t think too many of the people in there were actually thinking about what they were doing. I don’t think that too many of them went in to the gym with at least a rough draft idea of what they were going to do. Sadly, out of the estimated 40 or so people that were working out, less than a handful of them actually LOOKED like they worked out. Don’t take that as criticism – most of the people were in there working hard.

So, why is that not enough? First and foremost, simply moving heavy objects is not what weight training is about. That is not how you become defined and it is not how you become (gulp) TONED. Being defined and/or toned actually comes from the absence of body fat. You can’t spot reduce body fat (meaning crunches do not make the fat on your belly go away, leg curls don’t make the fat on the back of your legs go away, etc). You have to have a plan – weight training is the stimulus to keep the body in a state, at the very least, of which it will not metabolize muscle. I know most women will read that and think “But I don’t want to be big” and that’s NOT the case. You are NOT going to get big by lifting weights. Higher reps will not help you get toned – it will only increase your ability to use your muscles in the oxidative threshold and buffer lactic acid for longer.

The biggest reason that most people don’t look like they workout is their nutrition. Either a) they have no clue how to eat or b) they don’t care. More times than not, it’s the latter. But people who don’t know usually believe that eating the way you need to eat to burn fat is about absolute depletion, starvation and being miserable which simply is not the case. I’ve said it before: it does NOT take a ton of restriction for a man to get to 10% body fat or a woman to get into the low teens which in both cases is considered lean. It does, however, mean making smarter choices and being consistent with those choices and putting forth a regular effort to continually progress.

So, why do people fail? Here’s the video I just recorded explaining why I think people don’t reach their goals. Hope you enjoy it!
