Personal Health Coaching Breakthroughs

Welcome to the “Midweek Miracle” edition of the ATLAS Fitness News & Updates series….

The idea literally just came to me a few hours ago as I was pondering a few things that needed to be shared with as many people as possible… starting with YOU.

These are some of the latest breakthroughs from a few of my Long-Distance private coaching clients and one of my local hybrid clients…

So, without delay – we’ll jump right into it.

Midweek Miracle #1

Long-Distance private personal health coaching client Cindi (see her 1 month reflection here) – is making PROFOUND progress in her weight-reduction, MINDSET and health improvements….

TIP – Cindi admits she NEVER thought that was is happening to her would EVER happen. So, in the first few weeks I “reset” her belief system and boom! She is making progress she would have never thought possible. (“BELIEVE”)

She wrote this in one of her daily updates a few days ago:

“According to the scale, I am down, (despite weighing herself after eating). Wow. I needed that this morning.

I can say that I legit now only have 1 pair of shorts and 1 pair of jeans that I can still wear! My business clothes do not fit either. (her clothes are TOO BIG!!)

I have a closet full of clothes (TOO BIG NOW) that I will never wear, how cool is that?!

I put on a pair of my yoga sweat pants, oh my goodness! They are super loose in the butt and thighs. It’s times like this, that I know it’s real. The changes are real.

May sound strange, however, I am still having a hard time comprehending this is real, I am shrinking. Wow. Wow. Wow.”

I encouraged Cindi her to start a public podcast to share the finer details of her entire story – and if all goes to plan her first episode will be live by the weekend… Stay tuned as I’ll be sharing more on that.

Life-Changing.

Midweek Miracle #2

Long-Distance private coaching client, Joy – had several short trips and events over the lat 2 months that would have totally thrown her off track in years past…

But not this time – not with my guidance and her newfound mindset.

This time, she and I planned ahead, created definitive, but very simple, strategies to keep her on track and making great progress – no matter where she had to go or what she had to do…

In the past these would be the things that derailed her efforts and negated any progress – but now we’ve changed them into opportunities of even more progress and improvements.

Life-changing.

Midweek Miracle #3

Long-Distance private coaching client Kendall – had several unexpected mishaps (and a current family vacation) that could have knocked her back to square one…

As a busy mom of 2 girls, with a career and household to run – life’s curve-balls can be a surprise that smother even the best intentions – which is what used to happen in the past…

But, now – with my guidance, Kendall has smoothly navigated several episodes and a Summer vacation she is on right now with the entire family – with a “stealthy” plan – a few key strategies and the attitude of control & success.

For example, I created a “Mini-Circuit Session” she can do literally almost anywhere in just a few minutes. So she is able to sneak it in here and there, while still enjoying all the family time and fun. (game-changer)

In years past Kendall admitted she would totally STOP her exercise program and that would also lead to her nutrition getting even further off track – and the aftermath would be a slow route back to getting into a groove again after the trip was over…

The cycle would keep repeating itself. You know how that goes right?

But not this year. This year we’ve changed her paradigm so everything works – and she stays the course.

Life-changing.

Midweek Miracle #4

Long-Distance coaching client Patty is in the throws of intense studies, a shifty work schedule and a life in transition.

But she values her health, BIGTIME. And she needed help getting and staying on the right track with her health and body-composition despite what her life was loaded up with…

And since starting with me just a few weeks ago – she has already experienced some important milestones that will now propel her toward even more progress and profound success.

She has now realized that her old, high-intensity workouts and hardcore exercise programs were putting her at risk (back problems, etc) while not delivering desired results…

She is now realizing that a gentler approach is not only better, easier, more realistic – BUT it is the gateway to creating a PERMANENT lifestyle of fitness and wellness.

And beyond that – she is already seeing performance improvements in her running times, because of the functional and safe nature of my training methods.

TIP: One THE BIGGEST lessons with everyone above is the fact that NOBODY has to have a “perfect” schedule that cannot be deviated from…

In fact we ALL have shifty schedules and life episodes that will come and go ALL OF US, including me…

BUT the difference between the successful people and the people who just keep backsliding year after year is that the successful ones find ways to stay on track, stay the course and stay on the path with strategies, tactics and methods that make it all natural, easier and realistic to maintain.

LIFE-CHANGING.

===============================

Last week I sent out an email article and realized I need to turn it into a blog post here so that others can see it, read it, share it, save it, etc…

And after reading it, one our awesome local Studio clients, Susan, sent me this note after she read it and this is what triggered me to get it posted here on my blog:

————
Hi Joey
I want to thank-you for sharing these insights and encouragement.
Just want you to know I needed to read this and maybe reread it at least every week.
Thank-you again for all you do, share, insights, and encouraging words…

So here it is…

5 Health & Fitness Insights That Can Change Your Life Today

I usually have several personal, 1-on-1 Long-Distance (or Local) coaching clients I’m working with at any given time of year.

—————-
SIDE-NOTE: I may have a personal, 1-on-1 Long-Distance personal coaching spot opening up in about 3 weeks, so if you need 1-on-1 personal, long-distance coaching please send me a note here and include your primary issues, toughest obstacles and your TOP 2 goals – and WHY you want to reach those goals.
—————-

And the ones I’m currently working with are highlighting some CRITICAL but subtle insights that must be shared so that you might benefit from simply becoming “aware” of these…

AWARENESS is usually a key element, a precursor of sorts, for setting the stage that leads us to success…

We have self-awareness, which I consider to be anything internally related; inside our mind, our thoughts, habits, choices, decisions, etc… and we have awareness of what we can consider as ‘external factors or elements’.

Today I cover a little bit of both – as we will see that awareness and self-awareness are connected and inter-related. We will dive deeper into these in the future – but for today…

Here are the insights:

1 – Travel and Being Away from Home Is a Part of Life we MUST PRE-PLAN for…

If you want to reach and maintain health and wellness success – THEN YOU MUST know that travel is inevitable and you must design a plan to “stick to your vision” NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE…

SO MANY people let travel derail them. It’s crazy but true.

==> Your goals and values should NOT change just because your body is in a different city, or different country.

It’s that simple.

And I know it’s possible to win in this scenario because I have private clients who are doing it. Even some of them are surprised they are “Sticking with it”, even when on the road.

2 – Outsource Some of The Manual Labor

I have 2 clients who have such busy schedules that they barely have time to cook. And this becomes a problem that needs a solution.

One has already outsourced meal/food prep and delivery so they don’t even have to think about most of the food shopping and cooking…

And the other is now looking into it because she only has so many hours in the day and food prep is pushing the limits.

This is the kind of problem that knocks many people off the good path. But the wise people persevere and find solutions to the problems in order to MOVE FORWARD.

==> Remove the obstacles that block you from success and make your goals easier to reach.

Ask yourself; “What are the obstacles that I need to remove?”

If you don’t know the answer to that – then seek outside help. Your life is worth it.

3 – ACCOUNTABILITY is King

Without accountability you are doomed from the start.

Don’t get me wrong – you can be your own accountability chief. I know because I have become my own.

Truth is, most people CANNOT do this and this is why so many people are “yo yo” fitness folks. You know… On again off again…. The annual cycle repeats itself over and over.

You NEED accountability.

It could come from a friend, a family member, a group such as our coaches and other clients at the local Studio, or a hired specialist like me – But it must be SOMEONE until you are able to be your own “master of accountability”.

4 – GUIDANCE is the Queen

Without proper guidance – you’ll be spinning your wheels, guessing if what you’re doing is right, or wrong.

And the more you guess – the more likely you are to “quit”.

And the cycle repeats itself, over and over again.

5 – There is ALWAYS an answer

You may not know the answer. But there always is a good answer to any given problem or obstacle you face.

As a matter of fact – you can bet 100% that problems and obstacles will come your way.

THE KEY is to KNOW this beforehand.

Be 100% at peace with it – and then be ready to “ANSWER” those problems and obstacles so you keep making positive progress without getting thrown off track like all the attempts of the past.

Persevere.

Be in it to win it.

Choose your “REACTION” to every situation.

KNOW that you will be tested (We all are.)

KNOW that you have to power and ability to succeed no matter what the test in front of you is.

KNOW that it is easy to give in and submit – and PREMEDITATE your actions, to move through each test with your vision set on your goals.

And know this…

Putting in the energy and efforts NOW is a form of sacrifice and form of ‘suffering’ we can say….

BUT – you can bet every dollar you have that if you choose not to sacrifice and suffer A LITTLE now (by doing your daily duties of health, wellness and fitness) THAT YOU WILL “pay the price” MANY times more, in the future with far greater amounts of suffering and sacrifice.

Now is your time. The opportunity of a much better life is in your hands.

Your mindset holds the key.

Your values, intentions and purpose must be your primary drivers and your fuel for motivation…

Success is earned. You must go after it or it will elude you.

Or you can remain stagnant, keep drifting and suffer the consequences of living on ‘auto-pilot’.
