There are hundreds of different reasons why people decide to pursue a career as a personal trainer. Sometimes they’re driven by a desire to help others change the way they live. Sometimes they’re driven by a life experience that instilled in them the value of fitness, like having overweight parents or struggling with weight themselves. Sometimes they simply don’t like their current jobs. No matter how you landed on this path, the fact that you’re here tells us you want to help people improve their health. And that’s a mission we understand.
The way to achieve your ideal body is to speed up your metabolism by building lean muscle so that calories get diverted away from fat storage.
Most people think of calories as something they need to burn off. If they eat a bagel, they punish themselves with an hour on the treadmill. This does burn the calories, but it's a never-ending battle, and it won't lead to long-term results. But if you change the way your body uses calories, you can truly reshape your physique.
Your body does 3 different things with calories. It converts them into energy for physical activity. It stores them as fat. Or it burns them to repair and maintain muscle. You can change the way your body uses calories by changing your body composition. This requires increasing the percentage of muscle that makes up your body weight.
We focus on getting you to the maximum metabolic rate, rather than just a specific body weight number.
