Wearable fitness trackers can be a great tool, depending on how you use them. Understanding the pros and cons of wearing a fitness tracker can help you decide whether using one is the right fit for you.

It’s that time again. InBody assessments. Before you get all bent out of shape (no pun intended) let’s make it so that you can really become aware of how the InBody is actually helping you rather than hurting you.

First let me illustrate what the InBody is not.

The InBody is not something we use to grade you.

The InBody is not something that determines whether you’re good or bad.

The InBody is not used to shame you.

The InBody is not a torture device.

The InBody is actually a tool to help make you aware of what you are doing. Data doesn’t lie. It measures. It also helps us trainers to see imbalances and if you are getting stronger.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to work with a personal trainer, but weren’t sure how to connect with a certified fitness professional. Perhaps you’ve been waiting until you’ve settled into a workout routine on your own before you go to a pro to take you to the next level. Good news: no matter where you’re at in your health and fitness, our certified personal trainers are excited to get to know you, develop a plan customized to your needs, and support you as you make strides toward your goals.

We get it– no matter how hard you’re working to get more movement into your day, it can be tough to get your step count where you want it to be. Any amount of walking is great for your health, and more is better.

If you’re working to set up healthy habits in 2023, it can be tough to stay positive when the motivation of the first week of January wears off. When motivation wanes, you might start to notice that you’re focusing on the aspects of your body that you wish were different.

“Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left you.”

Know that a true transformation starts in the mind before anything else. And transformation comes from living from an empowered state rather than a state of punishment.

When January 1st rolls around, it’s fun to get excited about a fresh start. Motivation is high and a clean slate on the calendar can make it feel easier to get started with the healthy habits that allow you to feel your best.

You love how working out and eating in a way that makes sense for your body makes you feel – and it makes sense that you’d want the people you love to enjoy the same benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Giving the gift of fitness makes sense, but it can be tough to figure out how to give your loved ones fitness and nutrition-oriented gifts without sending the wrong message.

Fall is the perfect time to establish some new healthy habits.

Switching up your fitness routine is key in keeping your body challenged and keeping your mind engaged in exercise. If you’re not already doing so, working with a personal trainer is a smart way to keep your body guessing.
