As many of you know, I am a cancer-survivor from a rare form of almost always-fatal leukemia.  Diagnosed in the early 1990’s, I know first hand the courage and will you must to have to conquer this deadly adversary.  Believe me, it is a journey I hope you never have to face.

Now in remission for over 13 years, I always stay vigilant and use all the resources I can to take charge of my health.  In fact, many of very principles under which you exercise today at Genesis were part of the foundation I worked under to re-capture my health and my life.

Just recently, I came across a significant piece of research which matters a lot to me… and should matter to you if you are over 35 years old.

It’s something that up until now, I suspected but could never find the research to support my hunch.  But at last, things are changing and A LOT is being figured out about this whole exercising and eating better lifestyle idea.   Read more...

When it comes to dieting and weight loss, it’s true:  What you don’t know CAN hurt you.

One of the hardest things for clients to overcome when they diet and are trying to lose weight is that they suffer from a condition known as “portion distortion”.  Essentially, they think that if it isn’t “big” in size, then it probably doesn’t have too many calories.  A number of clients I coach in weight loss are amazed to find out how many calories those “small things” are really costing them.

One of the concepts I teach is how to master “food swapping”, particularly when you eat out at a restaurant and fast-food drive-thru.  When you “know” what to eat, it is easier to continue your weight loss momentum and have predictable weight (fat) loss each week.   Read more...

Every week, I have the chance to meet and interview a number of perspective new clients who are looking to join our Genesis Personal Fitness “community”.  It’s interesting what these people tell me as to “their why” they want to become a client at Genesis.

I would say that a vast majority I interview want to come to Genesis because they have weight to lose and have heard that Genesis is the place to get it done.  They’re not exactly sure how it all works at Genesis - they just know that we have a “magic formula” for getting people to lose their excess fat in a relatively short period of time (in comparison to how long it took for them to gain it, that is).

But during the Consultation with me, I see that many of these people have several “ah-ha moments”, particularly when I explain how strength training can have so many other positive implications to not only how they look, but also how they feel and how long they last (live).   Read more...
