How Is My Personal Training Studio Different Than a Typical Gym?

February 23, 2010 on 4:47 pm | In Ask the Personal Trainer, Other Videos, Personal Fitness Revolution, Personal Training, San Antonio Related, Videos | No Comments

Hey San Antonio,

This is a question that a lot of people ask when they contact me. They ask me to compare our services and environment to Lifetime or Spectrum. Well, we are a private personal training studio that specializes in just that: personal fitness. We don’t have 30-45 people in here working out – just my personal trainers and our clients. We have a very well-equipped personal training studio – I actually used my studio to prepare for my last bodybuilding show, and it worked quite well. :) Most clients find that we have just the right combination of free weights, machines, cables, cardio and other types of equipment to get the most out of your personal training program. There’s no type of training program that we aren’t equipped to execute.

Also, they ask what separates me and my personal trainers from personal trainers at larger fitness centers such as Gold’s Gym, Lifetime Fitness or Bally’s Fitness, and I’m going to leave that to a video blog for the answer.

Hey San Antonio,

Back again with another video blog Q&A. Today, I discuss being “healthy” (in addition to being lean), drastic body transformation and fat loss results, “Whereto start” and alcohol’s effect on fat loss.

Please turn the heat back on in San Antonio, it’s quite chilly today!

Enjoy the blog!

Remembering What is Important

February 19, 2010 on 11:17 am | In General, Motivation, Other, Other Videos, Videos | No Comments

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.

San Antonio Personal Trainer: Sunday Update

February 14, 2010 on 1:06 pm | In 8 Week Program, General, Motivation, Personal Fitness Revolution, Personal Training, San Antonio Related, online personal training | No Comments

Hey San Antonio,

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope everyone is spending today with someone who is special to them!

I have a LOT on tap for the next few days/weeks.

Exercise Videos
I’ve been mentioning it forever, but we finally started putting it to action and I’m planning on recording every single exercise I can think of and listing them here on the blog. I think this will be an invaluable tool to help people all over the world reach their full body transformation potential.

Online Personal Training
With the video library being created, this will make my online personal training much easier to manage and enable me to take on a larger workload. I am very close to capacity for my online training, but once the videos are created, I’ll have better leverage of time and resources and will be able to accommodate many more online clients.

As I have mentioned in past posts: the programs will include complete nutritional programs, individually designed based on condition and goals, and a variety of training principles based on whatever your goals may be. I currently work with people from all points of the fitness spectrum: from professional athletes and fitness models to stay at home mothers and college students. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, increased athletic performance, bikini body preparation (hey, it’s in HUGE demand) or something that may not seem so common, drop me a line and let’s see if we’re a match.

With that being said, I will be using the same guidelines I use in my studio personal training business. What is that? I evaluate each and every potential client on a case by case basis and objectively determine if we’re a good fit to work together. My goal is getting you to your goals. That sounds like what you’ve read on every personal training site on the internet, but I take it a step further. I WANT you to have high expectations, as my expectations for you and your progress are very high. I only take on clients (in studio and online) that are willing to follow my guidelines to a “T” and who are going to do whatever it takes to get the most out of their programs.

As mentioned, I’ll be using email, videos, IM Web-camming, and telephone to guide each online client.

My services are like no other online personal trainers in the world – re-read that. When I train people online, I make sure that I duplicate my in-gym services to give them the greatest chance for fitness success. I always employ a no-excuses approach and hold every client very accountable, as consistency and hard work are the keys to success.

The Eight Week Body Transformation Program
Ok, I’ve had a lot of people ask me “what happens after eight weeks?” and the answer is I’m going to wait and see. Eight weeks was the initial time frame – In honesty, I intend on keeping it going permanently if there’s a demand.

Expanding my San Antonio Personal Training Studio
We have more than doubled the amount of equipment we have – so now, in total, I have 9 pieces of high end cardio equipment and more weight training equipment and machines than most full commercial gyms in San Antonio. The good part is that I’m working with the landlord of my strip center to move into a MUCH larger space to accommodate our equipment and to get it out of storage and into our personal training studio. We’re also in the process of adding a full time massage therapist to our staff, and having enough space to allow them to move their massage therapy practice inside of our personal training studio, while also offering a full line of nutritional supplements and recovery services such as electromagnetic stimulation and ultrasound therapy.

I have a very high sense of urgency here, and want to have everything in place by early to mid-March, with the exercise videos and online personal training in full swing by the end of next weekend (as I intend on recording 20-30 videos tonight :D).

Never stop pushing toward your goals – let nothing slow you down!

Discount Personal Training: Is It Worth It?

February 10, 2010 on 6:11 pm | In Personal Training, San Antonio Related | No Comments

Hey San Antonio,

I keep thinking about the commercial with $6 haircuts and the haircut guy across the street puts up a sign that says “We Fix $6 Haircuts” and I can relate. I meet so many clients who have been to other personal trainers and now, well, need to be fixed!

First and foremost, most of these discount personal trainers cheapen this profession. Unfortunately, many personal trainers are completely uneducated, inexperienced and sub-par, and while they don’t intend to do damage, they can’t help it.

It has always been my opinion that when you visit a personal trainer, you have the reasonable expectation to achieve your desired results. Of course, that takes work on your behalf, but it also takes proper guidance. I’ve been told that I push extremely hard and have expectations that at times seem unreasonable, but changing the body isn’t easy – in fact, many have called their drastic transformation the hardest thing they have ever done. Coincidentally, they often refer to it as the most rewarding thing they’ve ever done as well.

Comfort with your personal trainer is important, so choose someone you can work with, but also, choose someone that has a knowledge level to get you where you want to be, and someone who will tell you what you need to hear when you need to hear it.

I may be direct and I realize that I’m not the personal trainer for everyone. I am not “mean” by any stretch of the imagination, but I am honest when it comes to assessing your condition and whether or not you’re on the right path.

Never settle – time is valuable and once it has been wasted, it cannot be recovered.

Marinated Flank Steak

January 12, 2010 on 6:03 am | In Ask the Personal Trainer, Nutrition, Recipes, San Antonio Related | No Comments

Hey San Antonio,

Here’s a lean beef recipe – just because you’re dieting does NOT mean you have to give up beef! Thank you to Lee for submitting this recipe to the personal trainer in San Antonio blog!

Flank steak has very little fat, making it an ideal low fat beef dish. Marinating it makes the beef tender and provides a wonderful flavor. Serve warm with a green salad, or any way you choose.
Ingredients:

1 pound flank steak, trimmed
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp grated fresh ginger (you could use 1 tsp gound ginger instead)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
Preparation:

Whisk together lemon juice, honey, ginger, oil, garlic and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Place beef and marinade in a glass dish; cover and refrigerate for between 8 and 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Preheat broiler. Spray broiler pan rack with nonstick cooking spray. Remove beef from marinade and place on rack (discard marinade). Broil 3 inches from heat for about 4 minutes each side, or to desired degree of doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing across the grain.

Fitness, Figure, Bikini and Bodybuilding Prep

January 7, 2010 on 2:46 pm | In Ask the Personal Trainer, Nutrition, Personal Training, San Antonio Related, Training, bodybuilding | No Comments

Hey San Antonio,

‘Tis the season for fat loss! I guess it is always that season in my business, but I love it.

The spring is also big for two other demographics: those who are planning a wedding (and I do a lot of work to make sure people look their best on their big day), but also, April-June is a big time for fitness, figure and bodybuilding competitions.

As many people that read the blog know, I recently competed in a bodybuilding show, accomplishing a major goal of mine. Luckily, many people considered my conditioning absolutely insane and it has parlayed into another niche for my business – helping others look their best for stage.

A couple of my friends and clients have enlisted me just for this reason, and have given me total control over their nutrition and training regimens. With me not currently preparing to get on stage, it’s very easy for me to focus on their needs and have the dialed in for their shows. I have a few different clients in different stages, so it’s fun to watch them go through what I just went through a couple of months ago. A couple of clients are actually located here in San Antonio and are working with me 6-7 days per week (with both nutrition and training). I have one client that is actually traveling into town every couple of weeks for me to track and advise, and I have one more client that I am helping via the internet more than 1500 miles per way.

As a competitive bodybuilder, I completely understand what they are going through, and I also understand that there’s little margin for error.

As their regimens unfold and the work starts to show, I’ll make sure to keep everyone updated on their progress!
