My wife, Emily, I just went away for a long holiday weekend.

When I use to travel or go on vacation, I did one of two things..

1) Stay perfectly rigid on my eating and workout plan and resist all of the fun food and activities I really wanted to do. I felt proud could be so strict while everyone else was partaking I’m delicious food abs relaxation, but deep down inside I was miserable, or...

At 45 years old and having helped thousands of men and women transform their bodies and health, I have realized that before you start any program to transform your body and your health, you need to first define what a successful transformation is to you.

For example, at age 27, it meant getting "shredded", having 6 pack abs and muscle popping out everywhere. lol. Now, at 45, I still care about how I look and am proud to say, I still sport a 6-pack :) However, with 3 kids, running 3 businesses, having to deal with early bone on bone arthritis and my hips and having different life goals and priorities looks a little different. For me, it's not only about looking great, but feeling great, being mobile, not spending all day in the gym or worrying about my meals and eating "perfectly", and having vibrant energy.

So, I'll ask, what does your ideal transformation look like? Is it like one of our clients Bill, a 57 year old executive who has been traveling non stop for the past 25 years and a trip to the doctor gave a wake up call that he must do something and soon, to now losing 20 lbs, being in the best shape of his life, and reconsidering if he is willing to risk his health any longer by traveling all the time?

It is, indeed, possible, to make a physique transformation at any age. It can be more difficult if you are over 50 compared to say someone in their 20's or 30's, and the strategies may need to be different, but it is 100% possible! However, before you jump into a plan you first need to...

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to lose weight, and even it you do, why it seems impossible to keep it off? Which diet is the right one for me? Should I even be dieting? Are carbs bad? What does keto really mean? These are the questions I hear every day from people, and in this article I'm going to share the one thing you MUST do to lose weight...

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.

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.

Each year, the pros at the Fitness Together® brand chose to recognize a trainer who consistently goes above and beyond for clients–and who gets results that stick. This year, the honor goes to Maria Cardozo, who works with clients at the Fitness Together studio in Burlington, Massachusetts.
