A Team Fitness America Segment Of Eating And The Holiday Buldge

2010-12-18T21:22:00.000-08:00

Every holiday we declare that we will try to eat healthy throughout the month of December, but most of us give up even before Thanksgiving. The office cookies, the after work parties, the food gifts from clients, the kid’s Christmas events, and then our own family celebrations all add up in calories. Thoughts of sugar plums literally dance in our heads all week and the entire concept of eating healthy goes right out the window.

Then we get smart and make a deal with ourselves. We declare that we can eat unhealthy for the next few weeks (we justify it by saying it is a holiday after all and we do work hard all year) but after the first of the year we promise to embark on a health and fitness plan. Every year we make the same promise and somewhere around February and March we go right back into the bad habits. We justify the bad eating again with the excuse that it is Easter or Spring and then Mothers day or summer. So how can we break that vicious cycle of never really getting our bad habits under control?

7 Team Fitness America ways to stop the holiday buldge from overtaking your life:

1. When you know you have a Christmas party to go to, eat before you go. If you are full you will be less likely to scarf down the appetizers and main entrée. Eat sparingly or just have a few appetizers and a small dessert, that way you do not offend your guests but still get to enjoy the tastes of the evening. We all know whom the person is that stands next to the food all night and has to try everything. Focus on not being that person and just opt to taste the different foods and not eat a full meal.

2. Hire a personal trainer now. That is right, before the holidays. Start working out now and you will begin to feel and see the results so when you reach for that eggnog you will remember how hard you worked out and how much harder you need to work out tomorrow just to burn off those empty calories. If you know you have to be held accountable with a personal trainer as well you will be less likely to over indulge knowing that he or she will ask you to fess up tomorrow when you see them.

3. Don’t eat what the kids eat. They have a high metabolism and sometimes it seems easy to just serve yourself a plate of macaroni and cheese or a handful of chicken nuggets at lunch and not eat a healthy meal because you are pressed for time. Plan your meals and know where you will be when hunger strikes. If you have a day of shopping planned, add in your favorite healthy spot to eat. It will give you something to look forward to plus you won’t blow your entire day of calories on one fast food burger and fries. If you have to speed shop and wrap and really don’t have time for a meal, skip the fast food joints and grab a protein bar. Convenience stores, gas stations and even Walmart or Target you are probably shopping in will sell them as a quick solution to solve your hunger issue.

4. Realize that high calorie, high sugar and high starch foods will make you cranky. With all the shopping, wrapping, planning, entertaining, cleaning and travel you have planned, the last thing you want to be is cranky and not be able to enjoy the holidays. Eat healthy all day and allot for that one bad thing you will have out at a party or at work.

5. Do a holiday cookie bake and give most of them away. This way you and the kids can enjoy the art and tradition of holiday baking but give most as gifts or take them into work for others to enjoy as well. Having tons of cakes and cookies lying around the house is not helpful if you want to stick to a diet. You can also bake and donate it to the local homeless shelter as well.

6. Keep healthy snacks and sugar free/fat free desserts on hand. If you want to make a big dessert for the family do so but make a healthy variety as well. There are tons of fat free cheesecake and low fat or sugar free cake recipes online. Find one and try it out. If you have the girls over for a holiday get together serve both. You will be surprised at how many people will try a low fat or sugar free dessert over a full fat variety if it is offered.

7. If you are hosting dinner at your place, make just enough holiday foods for the party and a few leftovers. Send home the cookies, cakes and unhealthy foods with the guests and leave the salads and lean meats for you for lunch and snacks the next day.

Most of all, start thinking healthy now and you will not overeat and indulge all week.

5 Sure Fire Ways To Sabotage Your Fitness Program

2010-11-14T19:17:00.000-08:00

Embarking on a fitness program can be a daunting task and it takes dedication along with commitment to follow through and implement a new lifestyle. We start out with the best of intentions and somehow end with wondering what we did wrong and how we did not seem to reach that goal. Whether you joined a gym, bought a piece of home fitness equipment, or hired a personal fitness trainer, you can still sabotage your plan to be fit and healthy if you do not develop a proper plan of action. Here are 5 Team Fitness America sure fire ways to ruin your fitness program.

1. Setting goals too high. It’s great to be excited and to be motivated to reach your goal as fast as possible, but when you set your goal too high, then you make it very easy to get discouraged if you do not reach it fast enough. If you weigh 280 pounds and you want to be 110 pounds that is a great goal, but one that will take time. Give yourself time to reach that goal; do not expect to lose such a significant amount of weight in a short time span. Remember, you did not get to your current weight overnight and you will not be thin overnight. It will take time, dedication and some good old fashioned sweat.

2. Continue to eat fatty, high caloric foods. You can work out all you want but if your diet does not change then all of the hard work will not pay off. If you do not burn more calories than what you consume then you will not find much success with your weight loss program. Hire a nutritionist or subscribe to an online nutritional program where you can track your progress, get a food shopping list, use a daily journal, plug in food you like, or even talk to a live coach.

3. Waiting until 90 days before a big event to decide to get into shape. A lot of events we want to look our absolute best for. These include: weddings parties, class reunions, family vacations, cruises, etc. Plan ahead or you will realize that in 90 days you will need to seriously overhaul your diet and exercise routine. It goes back to setting that realistic goal. Some of us do work well under pressure but if you are trying to do it in a short time span be prepared to put your life into overdrive. This is the stage of unrealistic time frame setting that ruins most of our fitness goals and coupled with an unrealistic goal we end up quitting our fitness program altogether. Plan ahead, if you know the event is coming do not wait until the last minute to get ready for it.

4. Starting a diet or exercise program on a Monday. Everyone thinks that waiting until Monday to start a good diet program is a great idea, but in reality it is not. By Friday you are worn down and tired of salad and exercising. You want to go to happy hour, hit the pizza bar or the fast food drive though and eat and eat. Start a diet program on a Friday. Yes, a Friday. That way you are already in relax mode and when you go out Friday night you order something healthy. It will set the precedent for the entire weekend and week following. Monday will not be dreaded and you will learn that eating is a lifestyle choice not a dreaded chore. By the following weekend the desire to overeat and drink will not be as strong since you are working on a “lifestyle makeover” and not a crash diet.

5. Convincing yourself “there is not enough time for me to exercise”. There are 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week that equals 168 hours in a week and you need to use at least 3 of those. That leaves you 165 other hours for sleep, work, family, events etc. Everyone can find 3 hours in a week, even if it is only 30 min at a time for exercise. If you are super pressed for time, hire a personal fitness trainer to come to your doorstep. You simply put on workout clothes and answer the door. The trainer will bring all the equipment you need to exercise with, set up shop in your living room, spare bedroom, garage, porch or anywhere you want to work out and get down to business. No travel time, no sitter needed, no waiting for machines, basically no excuses. In home trainers also are great if you are the type to come home to change and sit down and decide you are not leaving to go to the gym because you are too tired from work. With a personal fitness trainer knocking on your door you have nowhere to hide.

Sticking to a fitness routine can be daunting and stressful but if you have the proper resources, the right support team and a good clear picture of your goals you can not only get to your goal weight and shape but you can stay there.

Some Team Fitness America clients, who are located in New Jersey, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Shah.

“I am very pleased with Megha, I had a male trainer before her and took some time off, but when I was ready to resume, Jon was booked so I was assigned to Megha and I liked her so much I added another group of sessions right away,” said Ed, who is a client of Team Fitness America.

“I wanted a trainer that can do weights, nutrition, yoga and Pilates and I know that is a lot to ask of one person so when I called Team Fitness America, and was sent Megha, I was thrilled,” said Jan, who is another client of Team Fitness America.

“She can handle all of my injuries; she motivates me and gets me moving in the right direction, even when I don’t want to exercise which makes me thrilled that I found Team Fitness America and Megha,” added Jan.

6 Team Fitness America Ways Improper Food Balances Can Keep You Overweight

2010-09-04T22:49:00.000-07:00

As Americans, we are inundated with a wide variety of food choices with many different kinds of things to eat. Generally our common sense kicks in at some point, but usually too late after we have already committed to eating unnecessary calories. We know that chips and cake are not the best choices, but they still seem to play a major role in our every day lives. We know that overeating is bad and fast food can be even worse, so we avoid these things and do our best to eat healthy. But did you know that not eating meals, skipping meals or eating too little can make you overweight?

Not eating a proper balance of fats, proteins, or carbohydrates will send the body into “starvation mode” thus making the body hold and store fat because it thinks that it may not be fed again for some time. You hear people say “I just can’t lose any weight and I don’t eat” all the time. These are the same people that skip breakfast, eat a small salad for lunch, or one meal the whole day of chicken with rice for dinner. You may hear others say “I eat so healthy and my body still won’t drop weight”. These are only two examples of how we cause our weight to remain high and our bodies to remain in constant survival mode. The following are the 6 Team Fitness America sure fire ways to stay overweight, which of course is what we don’t want to do.

Portioning food to the extreme or restricting food when we are hungry.

Portioning food beyond normal is not good or restricting food consumption when we are hungry is even worse and will only bring binge eating later in the day. Weighing and measuring everything that you consume will psychologically affect you as much as physically. When you insist on carrying your food in plastic baggies that you weighed earlier for exact amounts will leave you prone to feeling hungry and stressed. Stressing out the endocrine system will make your cortisol levels fluctuate thus making your body remain overweight. Create a balanced meal plan while including some things that you like to eat. Take on a belief that anything in moderation is not a bad thing but don’t take it beyond control and think that eating fried foods in moderation is still okay. Over obsessing by restricting yourself too much about your foods will take a toll on your psyche and you will notice that you are not losing weight.

Restricting too much food.

By not eating certain foods (avocado due to fat or bananas due to starch) you limit the vitamins and minerals that the body will obtain from food and limit the body’s ability to lose weight by restricting the vitamins it can have. Taking over the counter vitamins and minerals is a great compliment to your diet but not a substitute. There are foods like avocado and peanut butter that are often over looked for their nutritional properties because their fat contact is high. The point is that there is good fat content that your body needs to function properly and burn more fat.

Buying prepackaged meals.

Precooked and frozen meals that you buy in the grocery store have a lot of salt and preservatives. The human body will bloat and retain water from excess salt. So if you have a prepackaged breakfast, prepackaged lunch and prepackaged dinner each day you will soon feel bloated and heavy. Your body can not simply process all that salt. Even if you are counting calories, fats and carbs, you will still consume more salt in one meal with prepackaged meals than what the body needs in one day. Read your labels carefully and pick and chose premade products on a very selective level. Substitute healthy, real, fresh foods for those packaged meals. You can also prep meals at home from your own kitchen so you know what is in each meal and how much salt to add is purely up to you.

Skipping Breakfast.

Missing breakfast is like not putting any fuel in your car when your gas tank is empty and expecting your car to run perfectly. We all know that the car will simply just stop running and you will be calling for someone to help fetch gas. Your body operates the same way. Sometimes we avoid breakfast and don’t feed our bodies the proper nutrients until later in the day or we end up over eating at night or simply not getting enough food throughout the day. Your body can not run properly in that manner. It needs good clean fuels to make it go, just like the car.

Counting calories to the nanogram.

Again, if you are so obsessed with your weight that you need to cut off even one calorie and write them all down you will be over obsessing about your calorie intake and again your cortisol will fluctuate and the stress on your body will cause you to not lose weight. You could find yourself searching for comfort foods due to the stress of putting too much pressure to stick to an exact calorie amount. Come up with a good number to stay around (your fitness trainer can assist you with this for your fitness level) and do not stress if you had a few calories over the limit. A bit more exercise will burn those right off.

Eating or not eating before you workout with your personal trainer.

If you do not eat a light protein and carb balanced snack about two hours before your workout you will be lethargic and not able to perform the exercises at full ability. If you eat too much food prior to the workout you will feel nauseous and not want to workout at all. Living a true fitness experience each workout to the best of its capability requires a proper balance of proteins and cabs to maximize your true potential. If you aren’t sure what to eat or when to eat, ask your fitness specialist and they can give you a few great foods to try.

Knowing what and when to eat or what combinations of foods to eat when you workout is the key to having a continual, healthy weight loss plan.

The Team Fitness America 4 Essential Things You Need To Workout

2010-08-09T20:13:00.000-07:00

From “the ski machine” to “the ab roller”, we have seen exercise equipment come into stores and quickly leave only to be replaced by the newest or latest craze in “essential” workout gear. As consumers we have the duty of sifting through all the brands, styles and types of exercise equipment while deciphering what works and what doesn’t for us specifically. All while keeping price and storage space in mind.

For those of us that are self proclaimed couch potatoes, it can be difficult to figure out what pieces might complete a good home gym or what pieces might simply work for just our body type. The treadmill is the most popular piece of equipment and seems to adorn most homes as a glorified coat rack. As consumers we spend all that money on a piece of equipment only to let it sit and collect dust. The other issue that we have is where to store the equipment when it is not in use. A treadmill or universal gym is big and bulky while taking up space. Plus, if you travel, you are forced to leave it behind to collect dust and taunt you when you return. The following are 4 Team Fitness America ideas of what to buy that will actually be a great investment and what you will get the most use of.

4. Stability Ball (Investment - $29.99 Target) - An air filled stability ball is a great investment that you can use for everything from balance to weight lifting. You can do crunches, chest press, shoulder press (in combination with resistance bands or weights), Pilates, core workouts, and squats on the wall. You can target balance specific exercises and even get a full cardio rhythm workout. By making the stability ball the core of your home gym setup, you will develop a total body workout through a combination of resistance based exercises, cardio, balance, and flexibility from just one inexpensive piece of equipment. An added bonus is that this ball deflates for easy storage, packing and can also double as a chair if you sit at the computer for long periods of time (think better posture and more core-building support work while you are sitting).

3. Resistance Bands (Investment - $12.99-$39.99 Sports Authority) - With bands being essential for any home fitness or traveling program, they vary in resistance for all levels and you can buy up to 5 in a box. If you live in a flat, studio or small apartment these are the staple points and foundation of your home gym system. If you travel for work or pleasure and don’t want the hassle of dealing with locating where the local gyms are to pay a daily use fee, throw these bands into your suitcase and off you go. You can do various exercises ranging from bicep curls to chest press (with stability ball), shoulder extensions, back and lat pull downs (using the door frame), lunges, triceps extensions and even assisted stretching and balancing for yoga and Pilates. You can use the bands alone or assisted with a partner workout and you can even throw them in as a circuit training station in place of weights.

2. Weights (Investment – Varies) - For those of us that are into toning and gaining muscle, a good set of block weights is a great investment, but skip the weight benches and plate loaded machines that run in into the thousands of dollars. The easiest to store, carry and most economical for limited space is the “Power Block Dumbbell’. These run about $250-$300 for a brand new set and can be a great investment if you must have weights, skip the added extras like a bench, mats or stands and you will keep the cost low. Use your stability ball as the bench to work your core muscles and your targeted muscles. With a set of good weights you will be able to adjust them for yourself as you find the need for added resistance. You can do all the traditional exercises with half the space needed and simply slide them under the bed or in the closet when done.

1. In Home Personal Trainer - The best and most convenient way to get fit at home is to buy personal training lessons from a certified, qualified in home personal trainer. Why waste your time on expensive boring equipment when you can get a great personal trainer to show you how to execute the proper exercises using the above equipment. If you do not want to buy any equipment, then a personal trainer from a company like Team Fitness America will come to you and bring the equipment making it so that you do not need to buy any on your own. No storing equipment, no dust collecting equipment, they come to you, work you out and leave with all of the equipment. They can even show you body weight exercises and cardio exercises that require no equipment and generate fantastic results.

We all have the cousin or family member that swears by their treadmill, but it may really not work for you. Besides, who pays to walk? You can walk for free outside or when it is cold simply follow one of the great programs that your in home personal trainer helped you develop for continuing results. Skip the expensive treadmill, get a few pieces of portable, storable equipment and hire the personal trainer to show you how to use it.

Team Fitness America Unveils Fitness Center Management Program In Philadelphia

2010-07-23T23:13:00.000-07:00

Team Fitness America has developed a unique and customizable management program to assist small to midsized Health Clubs with the growth of their personal training and sales departments. Philadelphia has been chosen to launch the program starting with World Gym Philadelphia and their first time special of 3 sessions for $99 as an introductory offer for clients to experience the spectacular personal trainers from Team Fitness America.

Team Fitness America currently services 17 different states and offers clients the opportunity to have fitness training in the privacy of their own home, office, park, beach or any location that a client may choose to exercise. Personal trainers, yoga teachers, and Pilates teachers are able to provide the fitness based service on location for the client while bringing all of the equipment necessary to provide a great workout and exercise program.

Having been successful with placing personal trainers in homes and corporate settings throughout America, they are branching out to staffing health clubs, exercise studios and small gyms with both qualified fitness trainers and sales consultants to grow the club while assisting clients in reaching their fitness goals. After years of perfecting the art of in home and on location training, they have finally branched out to the next natural phase of the fitness business.

Team Fitness America’s Fitness Center Management division, lead by Director of Operations Dave Giordano, includes staffing the facility with qualified, background checked personal trainers that have experience training clients while providing measurable results. They take staffing the club one step further and place a Fitness Manager into each club to assist with the increase of sales inside the club.

Branching out into managing and staffing health clubs was an easy progression for Team Fitness America. There objective is to offer the same stellar quality of fitness services at the Health Club, studio or small gym that they currently offer to their in home clients. Part of the goal is to also assist individual Health Club owners that may not have the background knowledge or time to make their club stand out from their competition by offering an organized personal training and sales department.

World Gym Philadelphia’s personal training department is the first club to be officially announced under Team Fitness America’s Fitness Center Management program. Team Fitness America has already negotiated agreements with three other health clubs soon to be announced in cities such as Chicago, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.

Team Fitness America is currently offering a one-time promotion to members of World Gym Philadelphia where they can have their very own personal trainer at a discounted special of 3 sessions for $99. This promotion is available until the end of September as an opportunity for members to procure a personal trainer for as low as $33 per session coupled with 2 for 1 specials to work out with a loved one, family member, or friend during the same hour.

Team Fitness America 7 Things Done Psychologically To Get Thin That Backfire

2010-07-13T20:30:00.000-07:00

Each one of us sets out with a plan to get into shape and be thin. For some of us that means strict food intakes and daily exercise on the treadmill. For those of us that are not so disciplined we hire an in home personal trainer and nutritional consultant to make us workout and learn the proper way to eat and work off those calories in a safe manner. But even the best of us can fall trap to a psychological pitfall that sabotages our good intentions. Below are the Team Fitness America 7 things we do psychologically to make ourselves thin that backfire.

1. Buy smaller clothes - We have all been at the sale rack where the cutest dress is half off and also half your size but you buy it for the “Day I fit into it”. This is the dress that ends up in the closet for the next few years until you finally donate it or give it away. Buying an item of clothing that is smaller than what you actually wear and hoping that “someday” you will fit into it will only make you upset for not being able wear the cute item. The best thing you can do is not buy it! Working on the goal of weight loss first will ensure that once you buy it, you are happy with it, and you will feel good wearing it. Save the smaller clothes for when you actually can wear them and buy them as a reward for the weight loss after you obtain the goal.

2. Use smaller dishes - Using a smaller dish for your meal is a great idea but if you find yourself piling the food twice as high or needing to have seconds then you simply defeated the purpose. Instead of eating half the junk food, you could be eating twice as much good and healthy food while using the same size plate as everyone else at the table. Trying to psychologically trick your brain into thinking that you ate a large portion of food can backfire especially if you are still hungry. You will overeat in the long run and not feel as satisfied. Stick to the normal size plate, just make better food choices.

3. Drink water before a meal - Drinking several glasses of water before a meal, we are told, can make us feel full. While in reality, drinking several glasses of water per day is already ideal, but you also need to eat a balanced meal and receive nutrients from real food. If you drink water before every meal, you will short change yourself on eating proper amounts of food. Save the water for in between meals or when you have the urge to snack.

4. Eat healthy all week then cheat because it is the weekend - This seems to be so prevalent that popular diet plans now have “cheat meals” and “cheat days”. If you allow yourself to think that you can only cheat at a certain meal or on a certain day of the week, then you will inevitability overeat on that day and quite possibly starve yourself all week. This will lead to the “yo- yo dieting” and binge eating that is so common today. Many nutritionists will argue that cheat eating on the weekend will spike your metabolism into overdrive, but instead take a look at staying on track every day. There is a risk that eating a cheat meal or having a cheat day can draw you back into poor eating habits. Proper guidance will show you that some things in moderation are okay to eat while trying to follow a healthy meal plan.

5. Divide your clothes closet into different sections for “fat days and thin days” - Every woman may gain or lose a few pounds over the years but some women will lose or gain several sizes over the course of a few years while keeping an entire closet full of clothes from single to double digits. This develops a feeling that makes it okay to gain a clothes size because there is always clothes to wear whether you go up or down. Instead, set the standard, pick the clothes size, and stay within it so that you never offer yourself excuses.

6. Buying individual snacks or low cal foods and then eating the entire box - In the grocery store you think you are making the right decision when you buy that low calorie popcorn or bag of cookies. When you get home and eat the whole box “because it is sugar free, fat free, or low calorie” you just ended up defeating the purpose. A lot of the time we set out with good intentions but sabotage ourselves with the idea low calorie or fat free is actually healthy.

7. Using the word “diet” - Telling all of your friends that you are on a diet, simply sets you up for a failure when someone brings brownies to the office. If you restrain yourself, you will crave them while probably buying a chocolate laden dessert on the way home from work or having a brownie leading to explain to everyone why you went off your diet. It is simply much better to be able to have a small piece of the brownie like everyone else without having to make excuses for your behavior or worrying about binging on the way home because you denied yourself a treat.

Being able to identify things that we do to sabotage our weight loss goals will help in the long run. If you are unsure how, when, or what is best to eat then you need professional fitness assistance. An in home personal trainer can come and teach you about good healthy food choices, help you with exercise and help you break some of the behaviors that sabotage your living healthy plan.

Team Fitness America continues their on-going highlight for their very own Personal Trainer Of The Month and announces a Maryland personal trainer, Wauseca Briscoe as the winner of their Personal Trainer Of The Month.

Serving personal trainers throughout 17 states, Team Fitness America selects one of their finest fitness trainers to receive a monthly award for excellent customer service, achieved fitness results and client retention. Each month they have announced top personal trainers from places such as Los Angeles, New Jersey, Las Vegas, New York, and Miami. This month a Maryland personal trainer earns the top prize from their team of fitness trainers nationwide.

This feature goes to a personal fitness trainer voted through superior client testimonials, an established record of client success, and one that continues to outclass others while following company policies and procedures.

After graduating from Colorado State University, with a specialty in sports and medicine, Briscoe pursued her dream of assisting others with their weight loss and fitness goals. With her specialty focused within weight management, she can handle everything from nutrition consulting to the physical aspect of fitness. From water aerobics to running track and training for a marathon, Briscoe can handle any of her client’s fitness goals. She has worked with children, adults and even seniors as well.

After receiving her master degree, Briscoe went on to get triple certified. She is certified through the National Association of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise and American Aerobic Association International. She has received awesome client reviews and continues to show accomplishment with helping clients with their fitness goals, making her Team Fitness America July Personal Trainer Of The Month.

Briscoe’s goals for her clients are based on her motto, “fitness should be a fun challenge of good health and a lifelong commitment to wellness, and this is the key for success.”

Briscoe has also studied specialty training in kettle bells, Pilates, urban rebound and kickboxing. She can incorporate her background in Middleastern and Latin dance to make the cardio routines of her client’s fun and challenging.

“I aim to make all of my clients enjoy their workout and teach them that fitness can be fun,” said Briscoe.

Some Team Fitness America Maryland clients, who are located in the Baltimore metro, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Briscoe.

“Wauseca is amazing, I have seen quick results and I am very happy,” said Wanda, a client of Team Fitness America.

“After having other trainers with other companies I wanted a trainer that is well rounded and I found that in Wauseca,” added Wanda.

“My trainer is wonderful and I love the program we are on, while it is tough for me and my daughter to get to the gym, we love the fact that Wauseca will come to us and we do not need to go anywhere,” said Tanya, who is also a client of Team Fitness America.

Team Fitness America Talks About Teens Versus Obesity

2010-06-24T23:29:00.000-07:00

With parents working longer hours to support their families, many have turned to feeding their children fast food or quick, prepackaged meals. Coupled in with the fact that school lunch programs do not provide adequate nutrition and gym classes that occur a mere two hours a week, a rise in childhood and teen obesity has occurred.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 32% of our teens are overweight and 19% of those are obese. Teens are now susceptible to heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes and even cancer among other diseases that they should not have to deal with at their age. In addition, many teens are ridiculed if they are overweight and cannot keep up with their smaller, faster peers. As a parent, no one wants to see their child made fun of or have to sit in a hospital room while their child gets dialysis because of food they were fed.

Parents can no longer expect schools to teach their children nutrition and exercise, they must take matters into their own hands to ensure that their child will not become overweight and be at risk for these deadly diseases. But what can parents that have almost no time at all do to help their child lose weight or stay in shape? Hire an in home personal trainer of course!

A busy parent simply does not have an extra hour to spare. Sending a personal trainer direct to the home will alleviate the need to race to a gym or studio after work with your child and wait. With the personal trainer in the home, precious time is saved by not racing around spending gas and time to get to a gym.

Having a personal fitness trainer come direct allows you to monitor the sessions and see exactly how your child is doing with fitness and grasping the concepts of exercise. Some personal training companies, like Team Fitness America, will permit you to workout with your teen for no additional charge. So spending time with your child and working out together can be fun, plus it is like getting a whole workout for yourself for free.

The personal trainer can help with nutrition and tell you what to prepare to lower your child’s blood pressure, weight and keep them on the right track. They can answer any questions regarding nutritional value of certain foods and how they affect teens versus adults. Some in home personal trainers can recommend recipes for you to try or even take you to the grocery store and help you shop for healthy nutritious meals.

Children that are already overweight and ashamed of their size will benefit from one on one instruction where they area not judged by their peers or made uncomfortable in a gym setting. A personal trainer can answer all of their questions and show them the proper techniques to exercise in a safe environment. Results in terms of weight loss and health will be quicker with one on one instruction and if a teen feels safe and secure they are more likely to continue to work out and exercise.

By having an in home personal trainer they can mentor your teen and instill nutritional and exercise values that will be carried throughout their adult years ensuring that they will have the tools necessary to make good healthy food choices and exercise on a weekly basis.

Lastly, in home personal trainers will make the workout fun for a teen. Adults are easier to entertain for an hour workout but teens need to have fun. An in home personal trainer can tailor the workout to each teen, from cones to hula hoops to weights or even zumba classes. If a teen thinks that a workout is fun, the hour will fly by and they are more likely to look forward to the next session that will be fun. Taking a class at a gym will not be tailored to a teen and they may find it boring and not want to work out. If teens associate boredom with exercise they will remain overweight.

The CDC reported that children that are fed nutritious food have a better attention span and higher grades. If the teen is eating fast food and not working out their mental functioning has been shown to be lower and their grades lower than that of teens that are fit and eat healthy. Having an in home personal trainer to teach them nutrition and exercise will increase their attention span and thus improve grades in the long run.

In home personal trainers can assist the entire family with exercise and nutrition goals. They specialize in everything from weight loss to toning to sports and conditioning. There are many benefits from having an in home personal trainer come direct to the house to assist the family in all their goals. From nutrition to meal planning to actual workouts, Team Fitness America can provide the entire family with a healthy plan that everyone can benefit from and at a reasonable cost.

New Top May Team Fitness America Personal Trainer Announced

2010-05-28T22:27:00.000-07:00

Keeping an awesome trend going, Team Fitness America announced their May Personal Trainer Of The Month with a top personal trainer from Phoenix, AZ. June Ellen Ottoson, who is nominated from her Team Fitness America clients, has dedicated her life to helping others achieve their fitness goals. Ottoson continually updates her training while keeping current on training techniques and the latest way to have fun at the same time as getting in shape. For that, Ottoson was chosen as the Team Fitness America Personal Trainer Of The Month Award during the month of May.

Ottoson has been certified as a personal trainer since 2000 and began her fitness career as a Group Fitness Instructor later transitioning to become a certified personal trainer. The desire for the transition came when she noticed how people were not appropriately working out and she wanted to teach them how to get in great shape with fast results.

While already servicing many areas throughout the United States, Team Fitness America offers an extremely affordable approach to getting in shape quickly in the company of personalized convenience.

Each month they have announced top personal trainers from places such as Miami, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, but this month the city of Phoenix takes the first place prize from housing the top personal trainer.

Some Team Fitness America clients, who are located in the Phoenix metro, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Ottoson.

“I have recovered from surgery a few months back and JE (nickname for Ottoson) has moved me along nicely,” said John, a client of Team Fitness America.

“She has a great personality and I could not say enough positive things about her,” added John.

“I have a lot of health problems and had the bariatric surgery, but JE has worked with me on my goals and helped me to lose weight with all of my limitations,” said Sheri, who is another client of Team Fitness America.

“She texts me a few times a week to make sure that I stay on track even when I can’t exercise because of my health, but it is great to just know that she is there for me when I need her,” added Sheri.

Turner has been training with Julie Luria, Team Fitness America’s 2009 Personal Trainer of the Year, and he has shown marked weight loss and muscle gain through nutritional adjustments and fitness training. Team Fitness America chose Luria as 2009 Personal Trainer of the Year for her passion in fitness, education, and ability to obtain results with her clients. Turner has benefitted from her as a trainer and will continue with an entire year of personal training as a gift from the company for his dedication and progress towards being a fit and healthy individual.

Team Fitness America offers clients the opportunity to experience fitness training with one of their stellar personal trainers throughout over 20 different metropolitan areas. Team Fitness America will meet a client at their home, office, local park, beach or condo complex gym and provide fitness services including weight loss for individuals and or small groups. Team Fitness America’s specialists continue to have some of the most extensive training in the industry, are background checked, and provide the much needed motivation for each client to reach their fitness goals.

“Team Fitness America has previously given away prizes such as this through the popular game show The Price Is Right, but this is our first independent giveaway representing results,” said Margaret Pajak, President of Team Fitness America.

“We are proud to offer a free year of services to a deserving client, such as Kevin Turner,” added Pajak.

“His progress is remarkable and exactly what we strive for at Team Fitness America,” said Pajak.

Julie Luria has worked with Turner on fat loss, muscle toning and reaching his goals over the course of the past year. She is both NASM and AFAA certified, nutrition certified and working on her Yoga training as well.

“It has been fantastic working with Kevin, he is open to all kinds of exercise and he likes challenges so it motivates both of us when I train him,” said Luria.

“I look forward to going to work with him because he actually understands that exercise is a life change and even though he has to work hard at it, he wants to do it. He has more energy, looks fantastic and wants to be fit and healthy,” said Luria.

By changing his diet and adding exercises to his program, Turner feels he has made big changes in his life and he is happy having Luria as his trainer. Turner had this to say about winning a year of fitness training through Team Fitness America and working with Julie Luria as his trainer.

“I am very shocked and excited that I won,” Turner said.

“I have been striving to reach my goals all year long and now that I know I have an entire year of training I am even more motivated to keep going and get in great shape,” added Turner.

“Julie is really fantastic, pushes me in the right direction, and each week I meet more and more of my goals and it is because of her,” said Turner.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable, certified personal fitness trainers that get the job done time and time again and can help each individual meet their goals. Each trainer can help with the fitness component and Team Fitness America also provides meal planning, nutrition help and even offers phone weight loss coaching to assist with each person’s unique needs.

With all those services available, each person can customize a program to their needs. Some individuals want simply an in home personal fitness trainer to teach them how to exercise and workout. Some individuals need more motivation and custom meal planning based on the foods they like to eat, while others need more.

For Turner, the main focus was on the actual exercises and what to eat at certain times. Luria worked with him on total body conditioning so he saw both weight loss and muscle toning at the same time. She chose compound exercises and kept it fun. Unlike the boring gym training that is machine after boring machine, Luria provided Turner with fun exercises using cones, balls, bands, hoops and she made it interesting and challenging at the same time.

Samples of some trainer and client workouts are available as well as countless testimonials from satisfied clients and trainers that have met their fitness goals.

Team Fitness America 5 Hottest Trends In Weight Loss

2010-05-04T13:21:00.000-07:00

The stars in Hollywood always seem to set the precedent for what is the hottest way to lose weight and get into shape. From Step Aerobics to Belly Dancing we have seen fads come and go over the years. Stars and celebs don’t spend a ton of money on large expensive equipment anymore and they seem to focus on the styles of exercises that get good solid results. Their bodies are lean and healthy and we see that on TV or Internet and we always want to know their ‘secrets’.

The interesting thing is that they don’t have secrets! They use exercises that trainers have used for years in different combinations and intervals and they stick to the workouts. Most Americans try something for a week or two and give up but as a celeb your body is your job so there is no room for error. Throughout this article, Team Fitness America provides the 5 hottest trends that require little or no money investment and can be done by using a certified personal trainer as your coach and mentor.

1. Running is back. In the 1970’s it was a staple in celeb workouts and was replaced by the famous Step classes in the 80’s. Now it is back and with celebs like Kate Holmes completing the New York marathon in five and a half hours, more and more people realize the benefits of running and cardio condition to get into shape. Over the years we have seen stars like Oprah and Lance Armstrong trend set the art of running long distances by training for and completing a marathon. Each celeb has prepared for such an event by hiring a personal trainer that can coach and condition them to the specifics of running and gear their bodies to burn the right amount of calories at the right time. Running specific trainers and ‘run coaches’ are available to handle nutrition questions, training questions and how to properly prepare the body for such an event that takes time, skill and cardio conditioning.

2. Slideboards are the newest rave for butt sculpting and leg sculpting. Jessica Biel and Valerie Garner are famous for using the slide board with their trainer. Their toned butts and thighs show that the Slideboard helps tone but not bulk up their muscles. The idea behind having a nice round butt hit when Jennifer Lopez came on the scene and we thought it was just good genetics. With the advent of the Slideboard now women all over can have a great toned butt that isn’t bulky or overly muscular. A lot of women have resisted doing squats and lunges because their thighs and glutes get too big and they can’t wear jeans. With the advent of the Slideboard, emphasis is purely on glutes and the nice round shape that women desire can be obtained.

3. H.I.T. workouts. These workouts purely focus on high intensity training (H.I.T.) and are done usually on a treadmill or stepper. Alternating 2 minutes of running, 2 minutes of walking or stepping over a period of 35 minutes to give the body a cardio shock or boost and increase the metabolic rate quickly to burn extra calories throughout a short span. No weights are used so toning the body does not come into play but the quick burst of high intense cardio workouts makes the body burn more calories quicker and faster. With H.I.T. workouts you will need to still do weights and core exercises for toning and shaping but if time and equipment are a factor these are easy quick bursts of exercises that the average person can fit in between doing a load of laundry and picking up the kids from soccer.

4. Circuit training using full body weight. Stars do not have time to do cardio, weights and play sports like a lot of Americans so they lump it into one quick workout and make the results more powerful. Alternating weight bearing exercises like squats and lunges with 2 minutes of cardio, like running or jogging in between sets keeps your heart rate up and your body constantly burning calories and fat. With circuit training you get to tone the body and the fat melts off the lean muscles that you are building quickly and save precious time by building all of the exercises into one workout rather than having to do 2 or 3 hours of weights and cardio each day.

5. Mat Pilates. Pilates combines lengthening and strengthens the muscles using the core body weight and sometimes a stability ball. The exercises are usually performed lying down and require a good mind body connection. Within two weeks you will notice marked improvement in balance, coordination and even start seeing cuts and ridges in the muscles of the stomach. While Pilates may seem hard at first, many people simply can’t grasp the roll up or the main exercises into the series, but with a ball and physical assistance from your personal trainer you will get the moves down in no time and start seeing great results.

With so many different styles of exercises advertized and so many different pieces of equipment to buy on the market fitness can seem overwhelming and daunting. A great in home personal trainer can measure your body fat, assist with your diet and nutrition and recommend the best exercise that will get you the results that you want in no time. As the celebs are, you must remain committed to the exercises plan and stick through it. For them this is a way of life and it should be for you too if you want a celeb fit body.

Team Fitness America 7 Tips For Weight Loss

2010-04-23T14:42:00.000-07:00

We have all tried the fad diets that have helped us lose weight quickly but only to leave us with even faster weight gain. Many times we go the grocery store and we are overwhelmed by the marketing concepts to buy foods that we shouldn’t eat. We see “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” in the brownie isle or the chip isle and we think that we are saving money if we get 2 bags of chips for the price of one. In reality we are being encouraged to eat more of the junk food and less of the healthy food. When was the last time you saw “Buy 1 get 1 Free” on bananas? Or a head of lettuce? Probably never at the supermarket, but you can buy all the fruit punch and brownies you can consume.

We budget while having a spending amount in mind and most of us always go over that once we start adding junk food into our carts. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 67% of Americans are overweight. So leave those chips and brownies in the aisle and move on.

Here are 7 tips from Team Fitness America to keep your diet on track and actually lose weight when feeding both yourself and your family.

1. Make a grocery list before you enter the store and stick to it. Too many times we get caught up in the items on display that we don’t really need but look great. Grab the grocery circular before you hit the store and make a list of what you need for this week’s meals. Resist the urge to impulse buy once you walk in the doors. This will only sabotage your diet and make you feel guilty later.

2. Once you walk in the door with list in hand, avoid the bakery. Most bakeries are situated near the front door for a reason. They smell good and you find yourself standing at the glass case thinking “one donut can’t hurt” or that loaf of fresh pepperoni bread smells so good you find it in your cart. Simply skip this section, if you have impulse control problems (i.e.: I MUST have it) avoid the section altogether. It will be less tempting if you do.

3. Avoid all prepackaged items. Canned goods, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets and other quick cook meals are full of fat, salt, sugar and carbs. Prepare easy quick meals at home with lean ground turkey, lean ground beef, chicken breasts and frozen veggies. The most expensive items in a grocery are the prepackaged, quick cook items and the most likely to sabotage your diet.

4. Shop in reverse. The grocery store is laid out so you spend money; they are not in the business of keeping you thin but making money. So look at your list and know how much you want to spend at the store and start in the meat isle. Meats should be your most expensive item in your cart. Pick your lean meats and add up the cost. Skip the prepackaged chicken nuggets and grab a bag of frozen chicken breasts instead. Sure you may have to cook it and spice it up but it saves you calories, fat and money. The extra 30 minutes you spend today is worth it. Hit the produce isle next and fill your cart with fresh and frozen veggies. Rice, potatoes and bread isles next and you have complete meals. Last should be your dairy and drinks. Look for fat free milk and either unsweetened teas or diet sodas.

5. Eat before you go to the store. This is one tip that we have heard for years. Never go hungry because everything will look good as you stand there starving.

6. Self Check Out. If you actually have to scan your own items and watch the cost go up you will be less likely to want to pay $8.99 for that cheesecake when you think about how it will not only affect your health but your wallet. You will also be more inclined to stick to your budget if you watch and have to manually scan each item that you purchase.

Keep these tips in mind when visiting the grocery store and you will remain on your diet and feed your family for less. With the extra money you save you can buy a personal trainer for the week and ultimately new outfits that you will fit into once you continue on your diet and fitness plan!

Deciding which personal trainer to honor is a very difficult task for the team.

“Knowing that you can do anything that you set your mind to is a powerful thing, however the most rewarding thing in my life is not all the medals or trophies I have won, but being able to encourage my daughter to live a life of good health and confidence.” Added Sheer.

Some Team Fitness America clients, who are located in the Las Vegas metro, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Sheer.

“I am so impressed at how well Lindsey worked with my grandson,” said Delphine, a client of Team Fitness America.

“While I was very specific in what I wanted in a trainer, I have been so impressed at how well Lindsey worked with my grandson,” added Delphine.

“She is absolutely fantastic, she motivates me, and I want to actually work out and look forward to her coming to my house and motivating me each week,” said Renee, who is also a client of Team Fitness America.

Team Fitness America Pros Share How Pilates Can Melt Pounds

2010-03-04T17:17:00.000-08:00

We all know that cardio and weight training will help you lose weight and get into shape quickly. Pilates is often overlooked as weight loss exercises because it is usually advertized as only targeting the abdominal muscles.

Here are six Pilates exercises provided by Team Fitness America fitness professionals that will make you sweat, boost your metabolic rate like cardio, and strengthen your core similar to weight training. All you need is a mat and fifteen minutes.

Exercise 1: Lie on your back and extend your legs long, place your hands under the small of your back. Lift your neck, head and shoulders up off the mat. Make sure that you have a space the size of a lemon between your chin and chest. Lift your legs to the ceiling and lower. Count to four each time you lift and lower your legs. Repeat this exercise ten times then rest.

The key to a great Pilates routine is to move as though your belly button was permanently glued to your spine and you are reaching long through your finger tips and shoulders.

Exercise 2: Lie on your back, knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your head, neck and shoulders off the mat and reach your arms long towards your toes. Extend your legs in the air at a 45 degree angle and hold them there, toes pointed. Keep that lemon sized spaced between your chest and chin and pump your arms as if you are slapping water. Complete 100 pumps in under a minute. Not only are you working your abdominal muscles, you are working your leg and arms muscles as well while the abdominals hold your core in place. Do for 1 minute, then rest.

Pilates includes all the muscles in the body and most Pilates exercises use the abs to stabilize while the body moves around the core. This type of motion that uses the abs as stabilizers is unique to Pilates specifically and will increase your metabolic rate, heart rate and in turn burn calories.

Exercise 3: Sit on your mat with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Extend your left leg to the ceiling. Slowly roll your body down to the mat, keeping the left leg lifted and right foot glued to the mat. Think of Velcro on your spine and mat and slowly roll one vertebrae at a time to the mat. Inhale, extend your arms above your head, drop your left foot and lift your right foot. Roll up one vertebra at a time and reach for that extended right foot. Repeat ten times then rest.

An intermediate Pilates workout burns 390 calories and an advanced workout burns 480, according to Kevin Rail, author at eHow.com, “How To Do Everything”. Pilates compliments traditional cardio and weight training routines or can be used as an alternative to both forms of exercise while obtaining similar health benefits.

Exercise 4: Sit up on the mat with your knees up and feet flat on the mat. Inhale, and then lift your feet off the mat. Keeping your knees bent, move your arms to the right of your legs and exhale. Pause one second. Swing your arms to the left and your legs right on the next inhale and reverse on the exhale. Be sure to inhale and exhale each time you swing the arms across. Remember to use your abs not your momentum to move the body and to breathe for each motion. Repeat ten times then rest.

Pilates is breathing and exercise combined. A lot of times, people will not pay attention to their muscles when they are working out or talk on the phone while they are supposed to be jogging on the treadmill. Pilates forces you to focus on your core connection, your breath and each movement you do and thus you burn more calories just ‘being in the moment’.

Exercise 5: Lie on the mat with knees up and feet placed on the mat. Lift your head, neck and shoulders off the mat and place your hands under your sit bones for support. Inhale as you lift your knees to your chest, then exhale as you extend legs long to the ceiling and all the way to the mat, almost but not quite touching the floor. Inhale again, knees to chest, lift to ceiling and extend long to the mat. Each move should take a full four seconds to complete. Repeat ten times then rest.

Pilates uses core muscles to provide the exercise component while using smaller muscles to provide the control of the rest of the body. The exercises will feel difficult because you are using your small muscles that you do not normally use when doing cardio or weight training. Once your body learns to rely on these “stabilizers” you will notice that you can handle more cardio time on the treadmill and actually lift more weights. Your yoga balance will improve and so will your everyday activities. Not to mention you will see the fat pounds melt right off!

Exercise 6: Sit with your feet on the mat and knees lifted into your chest. Place your arms long on the sides of your legs and pretend that someone has grabbed your waist and is pulling you back from the space just above your hips. Roll your back to the mat, keeping your feet flat and imagining that Velcro strip from your spine to the mat. Inhale on the way down. Exhale and begin by lifting your head, neck and shoulders off the mat and rolling up, each vertebrae one at a time until you peel up and reach over your knees. Once you hit the top, extend your right arm behind you and your left arm long in front of you. Inhale and lower to mat. Exhale again as you lift head, neck and shoulders off the mat and this time reach the right arm in front of you and the left arm long behind you. Repeat ten times then rest.

Pilates, even if done for only 15 minutes each day, will strengthen the core, burn calories, engage the small muscle groups and provide overall weight loss. If you combine cardio and weight training with a daily regimen of Pilates you will see quick and powerful results with only a minimal of 15 minutes of effort daily.

Team Fitness America February Personal Trainer Of The Month Announced

2010-02-26T22:00:00.000-08:00

Team Fitness America honors one personal trainer each month that has provided exceptional customer service and obtained outstanding client results. This month, Rebecca McBride, from Team Fitness America Philadelphia earns the honor of Personal Trainer of The Month.

With clients nationwide and the ability to service 17 states, Team Fitness America prides themselves on quality fitness training and exceptional fitness services. Each month they have announced top personal trainers from places such as Los Angeles, Miami, and Washington D.C, but this month Philadelphia hits the map.

This feature goes to a personal fitness trainer voted through superior client testimonials, an established record of client success, and one that continues to outclass others while following company policies and procedures.

From full time desk job to personal trainer, McBride made the career switch after realizing that she enjoyed working out while encouraging others to take classes and go to the gym with her. She found that she spent more time at work talking about fitness and motivating others to achieve their fitness goals than actually enjoying her chosen career.

She decided to become certified through the American Council of Sports Medicine and put her passion for fitness to the test by actually training those very clients she was motivating for all those months. Her passion blossomed and clients flock to her for the charisma and motivational skills that she has to offer. She has received great reviews and compliments from her clients at Team Fitness America, making her February Personal Trainer of The Month.

“I joined Team Fitness America and I’ve helped people lose weight and get stronger, the best part being that I made them feel like they accomplish something that day,” McBride said. “My goal is to motivate and educate.”

“My greatest passion is fitness, gaining the most enjoyment out of educating, motivating and training others,” McBride said. “I realized that I was actually helping people with my positive motivation, example and fitness instruction that I was subconsciously providing them.”

McBride Works exclusively for Team Fitness America and she travels throughout the Philadelphia metro, Bucks County, Montgomery County and South Jersey areas. Clients request her on a weekly basis and her schedule has filled up quickly.

A Team Fitness America Philadelphia client shared her thoughts and opinions about working with McBride.

“She’s awesome,” said Ann, a Philadelphia personal training client of Team Fitness America. “She gives me a tough workout and I feel confident I will achieve my goals with her guidance.”

Team Fitness America has a wide assortment of inexpensive, qualified personal fitness trainers that get the job done time and time again, but only one per month will be elected their top personal trainer.

2010-02-08T20:30:00.000-08:00

Anybody would love to win one year’s worth of personal training and nutritional guidance, but what is one way that somebody could go about receiving such a great prize? One way is to get on the Price Is Right like one of Team Fitness America’s newest clients, Stephanie out of Phoenix, AZ.

Team Fitness America had their first national television debut on January 18 of this year on the Price Is Right. The feature took place among an amazing showcase lineup placed around health related products and services.

As Stephanie made all of the right guesses leading to win a personal trainer for one year, she later found herself matched up with ISSA certified personal trainer, Mike Hines.

“I love to exercise and I like to train people to get the body they are looking for…A year and a half ago, I was 260 pounds,” said Hines, who currently has the lead running to become March’s Personal Trainer of The Month.

“Through exercise and proper diet, I am now 175 pounds,” added Hines.

Team Fitness America has launched a special for the month of February in honor of their new national television experience. Any client who begins in the month of February can take advantage of 5 sessions for $5 with the purchase of any package.

“I was ecstatic with the opportunity to have Team Fitness America become part of such an excellent game show,” said Margie Pajak, president of Team Fitness America.

“We hope that they will have us back as many times as they want so that we can continue providing such motivating individuals like Stephanie with great personal trainers,” added Pajak.

Team Fitness America is set to appear on another showcase on February 10, 2010.

2010-02-01T22:01:00.000-08:00

Team Fitness America announces fresh food delivery capabilities through their newly united affiliation with nutritional company, Diet To Go. People who are unseasoned fitness enthusiasts that truly desire an all-in-one fitness program now have the ability, through Team Fitness America, to acquire a certified personal fitness trainer and a weight loss program combined with healthy, great tasting food delivered right to their doorstep.

“Now clients can have fitness specialists and calorie-restricted meals delivered right to their doorstep to help them lose weight, maintain weight, or just improve overall health,” added Giordano.

Throughout most of 2009, Team Fitness America reduced their rates and offered unparalleled specials to give people the opportunity to have their very own in home personal trainer, yoga instructor, and Pilates instructor without travel fees and or time restrictions.

“While many clients achieved superb results throughout last year, we felt as though clients needed an added edge to reach their fitness goals faster while making our fitness programs even more convenient,” said Giordano. “With four easy to follow nutritional programs that encompass a Low Fat Traditional, Low Fat Vegetarian, Low Carb, and a Diabetic option, convenient meal delivery has never been offered at such an amazingly affordable rate while combined with personal trainers that come to you.”

Team Fitness America aligned with Diet To Go because they make their own food fresh within a quality controlled facility with no outsourcing.

“We are endeavoring to become an all inclusive fitness program during 2010,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America founder and CEO.

“Team Fitness America is a place where you can have an affordable in home personal trainer, proven weight loss program, train in the gym and or at home (in select cities) and have food delivered to your front door step from our new relationship with Diet To Go,” added Pajak.

“We are offering free meals for a day with any purchase of an in home personal training package and or order of $50 or more with food delivery,” said Pajak.

Team Fitness America effectively services 19 metropolitan areas, including places like Los Angeles, Orange County, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, New Jersey, and more. Throughout 2010, they plan to continue building their Fitness Center Management in most of these areas to offer clients the opportunity to train in the gym if they want to or at home.

Tips To Go From Fat To Fit In The New Year With Team Fitness America

2010-01-25T11:14:00.000-08:00

It is time for that New Year’s resolution again. People across the nation set goals to lose weight with last year’s resolutions but fell just short of accomplishment through the lack of on-going commitment. Now the slate has been wiped clean thus making room for a fresh start. This year, take full advantage of the fresh start and stay on track to reach the body that you always wanted. The following are some Team Fitness America tips to stick to the plan this year and finally make a real difference without having to repeat the same goals next year.

Set a goal.

Set a measurable, attainable goal and pick a realistic time frame thus making it manageable and conquerable. A lot of us go wrong by saying “I want to lose 100 lbs in a year”. That goal is simply too broad and that time frame is way too long. Instead, make it manageable and more rewarding while not making it a mentally draining experience. Some of the best goals are set in three-month time periods with goals such as to lose 10 lbs or possibly get into a smaller size of jeans. Maybe you are training for an event and you want to shave a few seconds off your running time. Whatever your goal might be, keep it short and realistic. Remember you can add another three-month goal after you hit the first one.

Write it down.

Goals that we can see in ink, we can make happen. Write it down in black ink and post it in a place where you will see it every day. This will help remind yourself “to stick to it” when you start to feel like you are losing sight of that goal. Many people who reach their goals successfully will stick their goal sheet in a place where they know they are going to see it on a regular basis. Places such as the bathroom mirror, refrigerator, on the back of the front door so that they see it before they go about their day, or even on their office desk. These are just reminders before, during, and after our day. Add it to your calendar of events to check in each week, make sure you see your goal, and truly know that it is there.

Take a before picture and visualize the goal.

Taking a picture of yourself before you start losing weight is an excellent motivator. Once you start to see results and feel better, you can look back at that point and see where your muscles are forming while your love handles are whittling away. A visual picture of your results sometimes is the best motivator for sticking to your goal. Moreover, once you start getting compliments on how great you look, you can see how different your body looks and feels. Visualize shedding pounds and mentally become one with your goals. Close your eyes and imagine what you would look like once you have reached your fitness goals and how great you feel as you fit into clothes that you never thought you would again. Research has proven that if you concentrate on thinking about your goal and visualize, it will happen because of the energy you put into wanting it to happen. The more you think about the end result, the quicker and easier the goal becomes.

Keep a food journal.

Creating the ability to see what you actually ate compared to what you thought you ate helps cut back on overeating and binging. Find a place in your journal to put your moods before, during, and after a meal sitting. Break the pattern of eating when you are bored, sad, or even mad instead of actual hunger with the true realization of why you are eating what you are eating. Learning what emotions you control through comfort eating will help you to eat less and make more healthy choices. In addition, sometimes we will eat something bad, perhaps a doughnut early in the day, then decide that we ruined the whole day’s diet. This normally makes us feel like we should just eat poorly all day because it really will not matter from that point on. One doughnut does not ruin your diet. Visually seeing what you ate and when you ate it, will help you build better food choices and nutritional decisions throughout your day.

Hire an in home personal fitness trainer.

A personal trainer can motivate and direct you on which exercises to do for your specific body type and goals. A 300 pound, 6’5 male will have different exercises and dietary needs than a 200 lb, 5’5 female even if they both share a common goal of weight loss. A professional fitness trainer will develop a plan of attack against your unwanted pounds and provide a routine that you can do even when they are not there. This will keep you motivated, on track, and hold you personally accountable for the exercise portion of your goal. Some people will say, “I do not need a personal trainer because I can do this myself”. The reality is you have been saying that for years and probably still have the same weight loss goals that you might have had ten years ago. Would you try to do your taxes without some form of help? Probably not, you would consult with a professional on the steps to take and which forms to use. A professional fitness specialist can take into consideration your eating habits, working habits, health issues and limitations, and design a custom program tailored to your unique body type and design.

Plan your workouts into your day.

Do you have too much to do and in a little amount of time? We all try to squeeze as much as possible into each day and say that we will get to working out when we have the time. In reality, the time is now that you should put your workout sessions into your priority task list every day. This is you time for stress relief as well as time for your body to be healthy and fit. Treat this hour with the utmost respect and never let anybody take it from you. By allowing your workout sessions to have “a say” in your scheduling process, you are taking goal commitments one-step further and proving that you have the determination it takes to reach your fitness goals.

New Top January Team Fitness America Personal Trainer Takes The Lead

2010-01-13T00:36:00.000-08:00

Team Fitness America continues their on going highlighted Personal Trainer Of The Month and embarks on 2010 strong with Miami personal trainer, Dimitry Zhitov.

Serving personal trainers throughout 19 metropolitan areas, Team Fitness America started their personal trainer of the month in June of last year.

“My goal is to not only get my clients the results that they want, but also teach them the why and how of their routine,” said Zhitov. “I want to keep them motivated and not let them give up on themselves so that they can achieve their goals.”

“Working out is called working out for reason, which I know is hard, but I aim to make it fun and enjoyable so that my clients are not counting the seconds of the clock until the session is over,” added Zhitov.

Some Team Fitness America clients, who are located in the Miami metro, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Zhitov.

“He is very precise, organized, and carries out the workouts with perfection,” said Rocio, a Miami personal training client of Team Fitness America. “He helps me work beyond my comfort level and pushes hard to encourage me to do more and I like that he exercises with me to show me the exercises properly.”

“My trainer is wonderful and I am so very happy,” said Susan, who is also a Team Fitness America client that is training with Zhitov.

Team Fitness America has a wide mixture of affordable, certified personal fitness trainers that get the job done time and time again, but only one per month will be selected their top personal trainer.

“We continue to upgrade our service capabilities each month to provide our clients with the fitness specialists and programs that they are looking for, but we couldn’t do it without great personal trainers like Miami based Dimitry who demonstrates above industry standards,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

Team Fitness America Five Reasons Why Your Best Friend Needs To Be Your Workout Partner

2009-12-27T21:55:00.000-08:00

We shop, eat lunch, laugh, cry, and even watch movies together. Women love to do almost everything with their girlfriends and some have ever since they were young. These bond-building experiences can also serve to be a momentous addition to our weight loss goals, especially with our best friend being there every step of the way throughout our fitness program.

In due time, if we have not realized it already, we come to a decision to finally get in shape but sometimes lack the power to get started on our own. With our hectic lifestyles, not much time is left to go to the gym and most of us do not want to deal with all those people gawking at us while we work out. The equipment can be intimidating and not actually knowing how to use the equipment can be frustrating. Worse yet, we may need to wait for long periods of time to get on the equipment that we know we need to use.

To circumvent all of this hassle, go with an in home personal trainer. A certified, background checked personal trainer that comes to the home will help alleviate feeling timid about using gym equipment, waiting in long lines, and will give the enthusiasm needed to reach fitness goals fast. However, what happens when the personal trainer leaves? Some of us find that it is hard to emulate the exercises the same exact way our personal trainer did and with the same passion.

To make an in home fitness program go from good to great, get one of your friends involved to give your fitness program the edge it needs to provide you both lasting results. Here are five great reasons why you need a work out partner to get full use of our in home personal training program.

Keeping Accountable.

Some days we just do not feel like working out and it seems so easy to pick up the phone and cancel your in home personal trainer that is on the way. If you cancel, while knowing your friend is coming over, then you would be letting them down as well. You are less likely to cancel the session and stay on track with your fitness goals when you have a friend working out with you.

Learning Partner Exercises.

It will be more fun and successful to learn partner exercises that will benefit both of you. With some exercises in Yoga and Pilates partner exercises are key to the actual exercise and the full benefits of the actual exercise can be very useful when performed by two people. By learning partner exercises, you and your friend can work out on the days the personal trainer does not come and still get a full workout. With weights and strength training, your fitness specialist can show you some great partner exercises that will make the difference.

Developing Programs You Both Can Remember.

When your personal trainer leaves, you will have a friend that has seen the exercises and can repeat them with you. Two eyes are always better than one, giving you the advantage to repeat what you learned and execute the exercises more distinctively to target your specific zones and goals. You can make sure that your form in each exercise is precise and you both are breathing appropriately.

Gaining Confidence.

With working out together in the same hour, you can see the results of your friend as you see your own results. It will not only build your confidence to look in the mirror and see your body change, but to hear from your close friend how great you look and feel will help your conviction grow beyond all boundaries. Compliments will build your confidence and make you feel great, especially if they come from one of your best friends.

Building Encouragement.

Some days we need that extra push to stay on the right track with our nutrition and fitness goals. We may have one too many brownies and figure that the whole day has been shot, but knowing that we have somebody checking in on us besides our personal trainer serves as a huge part to weight loss success. They will encourage you to push through the day and stay on track. Without our best friends cheering us on during the low times, we would set ourselves back.

Obviously not all people lose weight at the same speed or rate, but having a friend as a work out partner can prove to be a key piece of the puzzle to an amazing fitness program. Setting goals, then achieving them together, is twice the fun while giving you ten times the results. Find an in home personal training company like Team Fitness America, where you and your friend can work out for as little as $17.50 per session.

Team Fitness America's December Personal Trainer Continues To Make A Difference

2009-12-12T23:21:00.000-08:00

Team Fitness America finishes 2009 strong with the announcement of their December Personal Trainer of The Month, Laura Kraman. Due to her outstanding client reviews and continuous success with helping clients conquer their fitness goals, Team Fitness America views Kraman as an excellent fitness trainer and wellness connoisseur.

On a monthly basis, Team Fitness America selects a fitness trainer as their top specialist and awards them Personal Trainer Of The Month. This featured spotlight goes to a fitness trainer nominated through high-ranking client testimonials, an established record of client accomplishment, and one that continues to excel while following company policies and procedures.

Kraman, who has a Bachelor’s of Science from Wilmington University, is a certified personal trainer through NASM and a certified sports nutritionist through IFPA. She has experience facilitating groups on weight loss, weight management, emotional eating, self-esteem, and behavioral modification.

Through Kraman’s dual certifications and background of experience, she has been practicing personal training in Wilmington, DE for six years while helping numerous clients reach the fitness goals that they have always wanted to achieve.

“I use an individualized approach to determine what each client’s needs are to help him or her to reach their fitness goals,” said Kraman.

“My personal training sessions are challenging, but fun, to keep my clients motivated and successful,” added Kraman.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about working with Kraman.

“Laura is very good at what she does, she gives us the exercises that we need to develop the parts of our body that we would like to tone and get in more shape,” said Bobby, a Team Fitness America client who is training with Kraman.

Other Delaware clients such as Betsy included, “She takes such good care of me! She is always punctual and she makes sure that she pushes me just the right amount.”

“She is outstanding! I love the intensity of the workouts that she has provided,” said Antoinette, who is also a Team Fitness America client from Delaware.

Team Fitness America has a wide diversity of affordable personal trainers, yoga instructors, and Pilates instructors that are magnificent at achieving results, but only one fitness trainer per month will be chosen their top personal trainer.

“Clients looking for an affordable alternative to the gym throughout Delaware and the many other cities that we service can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Laura,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her while adding additional services, such as meal delivery and online nutritional trackers, to give clients every opportunity possible to reach their fitness goals,” added Pajak.

Team Fitness America Top Ten Ways To Stay Fit Through The Holidays

2009-11-23T16:18:00.000-08:00

It is never easy to stay fit through the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. With everything from the big holiday dinners to sugar induced office parties, it is almost impossible to stick to a regular fitness routine and healthy eating plan. Here are Team Fitness America’s top 10 tips to stay fit, remain trim, and protect you from having to do a post holiday, crash diet.

Eat before you go to any event or holiday party.

Eating before you go to a place full of great tasting food, allow yourself to be full, giving you the ability to avoid all the heavy hors d’oeuvres stockpiled at each holiday event. Holiday parties and events are full of high fat foods and pastries. The time between Halloween and New Years proves, each year, to be a period full of high calorie events that can leave you only to be depressed from the addition of unwanted pounds. We have all kinds of events from the Harvest Festival to a Christmas Gala and even the Pineapple Festival, which each are all themed around different types of food. If you go with your stomach already semi full, then you will notice that most of the foods are not as appealing to eat. Munch on a few items and still have a good time, but by not going to your event hungry you will still feel satisfied, not tired from overeating, and accomplish not offending your hosts.

Get on a solid, effective nutritional plan.

Knowing what to eat is half the battle. Most people, deep down inside, know what foods are bad for them to consume but neglect to go with their “gut feeling” due to the lack of a plan or regime. Other people honestly do not have any idea and might think, “Cheese has milk and is a protein, and therefore cheese is good for me.” Well, some cheese is good for you and some is not. With a solid, easy to follow nutritional plan, you will know what foods to avoid, what is good to eat, and what to venture towards at a holiday buffet, party, or other food event. A nutritional plan that covers your food choices, giving you foods that you like to eat, and the correct amount of caloric intake you should have will assist when you need it most.

Be accountable and stick with it.

Track your food in your online journal. An online journal is a great source for tracking, providing you with the ability to enter all of your food choices for the week, and if you have one, sync it to your PDA for ideal results. That way, if you are at a party or event and you want to see what might fit into your daily-allotted calories, then you will find yourself less likely to overindulge with unnecessary calories.

Always be ready and plan ahead.

If you know at 3pm, the office fills up with cakes and cookies, then plan ahead. Allow yourself one sweet at that time and plan healthy meals around that sweet so that you do not fill up on junk all day.

Lose the “I ate badly this meal so the whole day is shot” mentality.

So what you ate the doughnut for breakfast. Have a healthy lunch and counteract the bad food downfall. Assuming that one bad food choice has wrecked your whole day is not true and it is simply an excuse to eat badly for the rest of the day. Stop that behavior before it becomes a regular thought.

Make tomorrow today.

Most plans for eating healthy tend to be delayed with the thoughts of tomorrow or “When January rolls around I will have a great New Year’s resolution.” Every day you wait to eat healthy and exercise is one more day that you are further away from reaching your fitness goals. Instead of thinking about what you plan to do better tomorrow, just buckle down and do it today. Dig your heels in, make the call to a fitness professional, and get started today. Support throughout the holidays is exactly what you need both physically and mentally.

Hire a personal trainer or fitness specialist to get your fitness goals on track.

Seeing your relatives and friends once a year is now more common than ever, especially since we all are so geographically spread out, and you need to make the best impression possible. If you slack on your exercises or do not want to track your own progress, then a fitness trainer will stay on top of you and your goals. Some of us simply will not exercise unless we know that we have someone coming over to our house to make us do it. So hire a personal trainer to jump-start your exercise routine.

Use a service that emails you updates every day.

Some of us need more than just a personal trainer a few times a week and need daily encouragement with continued motivation. Some services, like Team Fitness America, provide daily nutritional and fitness updates with encouragements to keep us on track while we are attempting to meet our fitness and health goals. You can even upload before and after pictures so you can track your own progress visually and print out shopping lists to take to the store with you so you do not make impulse buys.

Refuse a junk food sale.

A lot of us buy things we do not really want or simply because it “is on sale”. Just because the potato chips are buy one get one free does not mean you should buy them. If you look at what sales are posted and where they are posting them, then you will notice that the high fat cookies and chips are usually on sale while being exactly at eye level with colorful, eye-catching wrappers and inviting pictures. Think of the grocery store prying your hard-earned cash out of your hands as you lift that gallon of ice cream into your cart. You do not need it, your body does not want it, and see it for what is it, a marketing tactic to get you to buy it. Ever notice the healthy food is tucked into a small corner, a bottom shelf, or usually in the backside of the super market and you have to ask where it is?

Refuse the dollar menu at the drive through.

Almost all of the dollar items are cheap, easy to make, and filled with empty calories and high fat. Take a second look at the menu and order the more healthy options, such as a salad without the hefty dressing, grilled chicken, or the many other healthy options that most fast food restaurants have place in their menu as opposed to the dollar double cheeseburger or fried onion rings. Because it is cheap does not make it healthy or good food for you, it simply makes it cheap food.

Keep in mind that as the holidays approach you need to be ready to tackle them with gusto and be ready for whatever parties and unhealthy eating events that take place. Companies, such as Team Fitness America, can assist with you with both the nutritional and exercise side of your life while keeping you accountable as you reach your goals.

Team Fitness America’s November Fitness Trainer Of The Month Takes Spotlight

2009-11-04T22:59:00.000-08:00

On a monthly basis, Team Fitness America propels a fitness trainer to the top of the ranks by announcing them as Personal Trainer Of The Month. This featured spotlight goes to a fitness trainer that is nominated through a high amount of client testimonials, a proven record of client accomplishment, and one that continues to go above and beyond with following company policies and procedures. The month of November goes to New Jersey personal trainer, Julia Luria, who has received rave reviews from her clients.

Luria, who is a dual certified personal trainer and graduate of Ohio State University with a B.S. in Education along with an emphasis on Sport Performance and Coaching, is a recurrently requested New Jersey personal trainer from Team Fitness America. Due to her outstanding client reviews and constant success with helping clients attain their fitness goals, Team Fitness America views Luria as a first-rate fitness trainer and wellness specialist.

Holding two certifications from both NASM and AFFA, Luria has been personal training for twelve years helping numerous clients finally reach the fitness goals so long dreamed of achieving.

“My goal is to make a difference in people’s lives and to help them live a long, happy, and healthy lifestyle,” said Luria, who has pledged to continue excellence to become Personal Trainer Of The Year.

“I enjoy going to workshops to further my knowledge and to keep me up to date with all aspects of fitness,” added Luria.

A few Team Fitness America consumers decided to share their thoughts and feelings about working with Julia Luria.

“I think that she’s doing a wonderful job, she’s really helping me out in many different ways,” said Kevin, a New Jersey client of Team Fitness America. “She understands my goals and has formulated a workout in training according to those goals and I am seeing results after just a few sessions.”

Other New Jersey clients such as Zaheda included, “I think that she is amazing and I have already dropped a pants size.”

“She is awesome and I am definitely going to get more sessions with her,” said Jennifer, who is also a Team Fitness America client from Rumson, NJ.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of reasonably priced personal trainers that are magnificent at achieving results, but only one fitness authority per month will be chosen as The Personal Trainer Of The Month.

“Clients looking for a great New Jersey personal trainer can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Julia,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her and have them share in the many joys of reaching fitness goals at an affordable price,” says Pajak.

Team Fitness America Five Key Ways To Stretch Your Dollar On A Budgeted Fitness Program

2009-11-01T21:38:00.000-08:00

Hiring a certified personal fitness trainer will help you reach your fitness goals while boosting your self-esteem and providing the body that you have always dreamed of having. A fitness trainer can come to you, cover all of your nutrition goals, and help blast fat away in the stubborn areas where you want to lose weight. Do not just rely on the few times a week the fitness trainer comes to workout with you, but instead make use of your time and maximize your results by utilizing these five key points.

1. Start with being honest.

The majority of people tell their doctor or fitness trainer that they only eat a few small meals each day and they really do not know why they are overweight. Most fitness trainers have become schooled to omit certain foods that you eat due to uncomfortable embarrassment levels or food eaten for temporary mental relief. Be honest with them from the start because the only person suffering is you when your fitness trainer does not have all the details they need to create the proper fitness program. Whether it is anything from having an occasional glass of wine to binge eating at a certain time of day, your fitness trainer needs to know exact eating habits so they can prepare a workout and nutritional plan that will kick-start your body into the right direction.

Dave Giordano, lead personal trainer and Director of Operations with Team Fitness America, once had a client that used to eat doughnuts for breakfast every morning and never told him. She finally had a break down during a session and confessed to him that she would eat three doughnuts in the morning on her way to work. Once he was able to redirect her eating habits to a more positive direction, she quickly lost weight and lost the urge to eat sugar in the morning.

According to Serge Ahmed, PhD, who is a scientist that specializes in addiction research, found that sugar can be as addictive as cocaine in a study in 2007. He demonstrated that the characteristics of bingeing, craving, and withdraw of sugar are as addictive as a serious drug addiction. He further proved that sugar acts on the brain circuits such as the opiod pathways and dopamine pathways (Avena, N.M., Rada, P.& Hoebel, B.G., 2008).

2. Keep track of your progress.

Keep a journal that you can write in or even use on online tracking program. This way you can keep track of what you are doing on a daily basis so you can watch as you progress overtime. It is proven that if you document your daily eating habits truthfully, then you are less likely to sway off track as you physiologically do not want to admit guilt of being at own fault for not reaching a goal. List your peak energy levels throughout the day as well as the times of day you eat and what you eat, this way a professional can develop a guide to spike your metabolism during peak hours of the day.

When you eat is just as important as what you are eating. Most people skip breakfast because they do not like the normal, traditional choice of breakfast foods. A big misunderstanding is that you do not need to eat traditional foods for breakfast. Ask your fitness trainer or online nutritional program for a list of great healthy morning foods that will satisfy you and give energy while decreasing the urge to snack all day.

3. Reward yourself with non-food based items.

A common occurrence is that we do not reward ourselves for good decisions that we make but instead harp only on the negative ones after the fact leaving us with guilt and depression. We may have a day where we eat healthy and exercise but the next slip while missing a workout leading us to eat some comfort foods to make us feel better. If you concentrate on the positive by rewarding yourself when you did well, then you will remember the positive of what fun you had and how great you felt, as opposed to the negative making you feel sluggish and unaccomplished.

Some great rewards are a facial, pedicure, manicure, massage, or even a budget minded shopping trip. Anything that is non-food based but gives you pleasure will give you a great reward without adding any unwanted calories.

Virgina Pola, PsyD, suggests using plants to reward yourself with while sitting them on your desk. She is responsible for helping companies reward their staff for a job well done without using the traditional approach of a pizza party or an ice cream social. While she offers great company ideas, grand personal ideas can be gained from her as well as she recommends a gift of time. Ask your significant other, friend, or loved one to take duties over for the day and relax, do something you desire to do that normally would not have time to do (ezinearticles.com/losing weight at work).

4. Stay hydrated.

Most of us mistake thirst for hunger creating a need to eat when in reality we just need to add a glass of water to our system. The body is over 70% water and it will go into a dehydration state if we are not properly refilling that percentage. So next time you think you are hungry start with a simple glass of water and go from there.

While working out, make sure to have a bottle of fresh water nearby and sip it in between sets to keep yourself hydrated. Not only does hydration keep you from overeating, it helps your body to function more efficiently.

5. Eat light before a workout.

Many of us think that working out on an empty stomach is best, but if you have not eaten in hours then you will not have the fuel your muscle cells need for an optimal workout. Many people choose to work out after work, which can already serve to be stressful especially after a difficult day. You just spent all day dealing with customers, clients, and stress while avoiding the office brownies or cookies and you probably have not eaten in 5 hours. Attempting to workout at this point is pointless and ineffective. You need a snack before you meet with your fitness trainer, otherwise your energy will be at its lowest point and you will find yourself struggling throughout your session, which should be an enjoyable and effective workout.

Hiring the right fitness trainer while keeping all this in mind will help you reverse the fight for weight loss from non-effective to extremely rewarding quickly and get back into those clothes that you reserve in the corner of the closet for when you expect to be thin.

Team Fitness America 5 Reasons For A Fitness Trainer While Saving Money

2009-10-15T20:54:00.000-07:00

Many Americans today think that having their very own in home fitness trainer is a luxury for those only that are rich and famous. We all know that celebrities like Oprah and Madonna have a fitness trainer yet we rarely stop to think how affordable in home fitness training really is or that we too can have a great trainer that will get exceptional results. We succumb to the idea that a workout DVD or a fitness book will whip us into shape while patting ourselves on the back for the money we think we saved, but our fitness goals never are reached and the book simply is added to the shelf. Worse yet, we may have spent several thousand dollars on a treadmill that we never use except for hanging clothes when we run out of hanger space. The key component we miss is that hiring an in home fitness trainer with the right company will actually save us money and obtain measurable results.

These 5 key components will get you results, teach you how to work out, and eat right while saving thousands of dollars over the course of a year. An in home fitness trainer with companies like Team Fitness America can cost as little as $35.99 per session.

1. An in home fitness trainer comes to you, at your home, and on your time. For one price, they bring the equipment while providing you with an outstanding one-hour workout. By hiring an in home fitness trainer, you forego the expensive one year contract of a monthly gym membership, the initial enrollment fee, and the added expense of hiring their on-site trainer. Most people think that it would be less expensive to join a local health club, but in reality, it is actually more expensive. Just think 10 sessions with an in home fitness trainer at a discounted price could be as low as a mere $35.99 per session. Memberships at some of the well-known national gym chains can run a new member a gigantic $299 enrollment fee plus $45 per month on a one-year contract for a total of $839. Most of all, this is without the cost of having a fitness trainer to meet your goals. If you factor that in as well at $65 per session for 10 sessions, you end up paying a whopping $1489.00. For that price, you could have an in home fitness trainer for 37 sessions with a company like Team Fitness America.

2. By having an in home fitness trainer, you do not need to spend money on equipment that generally does not work. A lot of us watch those shopping channels on TV to order the latest craze equipment that we expect to get us fit and it simply sits under the bed or collects dust in a corner. Even worse, for some of us the treadmill we used once becomes a clothing rack and storage unit. Save money and space by having an in home fitness trainer come to you, bring all the equipment, and once they are done leave with it. No more need to store expensive pieces of bulky equipment that you will never use, because a fitness trainer can show you how to get an effective workout with just a stability ball and a few bands. The Nordic Track treadmill T7, which retails for $799, prices as a “mid range” treadmill without any special features. Why would you pay almost $800 to “go walking” when you can get 20 sessions with an in home fitness trainer for almost that same price? When did it cost to go walking anyway?

3. Driving to the gym, sitting in traffic, and driving back spends gas and wastes precious time. The average American lives 10 miles from a local health club or gym and if you factor in the price of driving to the gym, sitting in long traffic and driving home after a workout, it is still cheaper to hire a fitness trainer to come to your home and provide the service for you. Based on the average of 20 miles to and from the gym and while gas could cost you, on average $2.50 per gallon, it may well cost almost $3 roundtrip each time. If you go 3 days a week, over the period of one year, it will cost about $468.

4. An in home fitness trainer will teach you how to eat healthy and less expensive. Many people think that having a fitness trainer means that you have to go on a strict diet that could potentially make you unhappy with a starving feeling all the time. Some people think it means buying expensive prepackaged meal plans, shakes and assorted items from a magical slimming list. An in home fitness trainer can teach you how to visit a fast food drive through, when you have to, leave full, satisfied and healthy for an affordable price. The average shake is $7.00 and pre packaged food runs upwards of $13.00 a meal. If you like to cook at home, an in home fitness trainer can even go to the grocery store with you and teach you how to purchase food that is more healthy and within budget. Today’s American culture reaches for food that is fast, easy to make, and usually from a box, can, or jar that is loaded with fat, salt, calories, and sugar. An in home fitness trainer can help you make solid healthy food choices while reducing your weekly grocery bill. One or two trips with an in home fitness trainer to the grocery store can save you thousands of dollars on your food bill each year.

5. It is hard to find reliable daycare at an affordable price when you want to work out. Childcare at the gym, which is usually staffed with a few teenagers, has relatively no experience with children. By having a fitness trainer come to you, your child is safe within your reach and you can work out with no stress or additional cost. If you hire a local babysitter at $7 per hour to watch your child and you go the gym for an hour with adding in travel time, you could pay an average of $42 a week that equals $2184.00 per year. You could have 60 sessions with a fitness trainer while not leaving your child with a stranger at the same time.

After considering the cost of going to a gym and buying unnecessary equipment, hiring a fitness trainer to meet your fitness goals will save you money. A few sessions with a fitness trainer can cost less than $400, which can teach you a lot while saving you over $5000 in the long run.

Team Fitness America Picks October Personal Trainer Of The Month

2009-10-04T12:42:00.000-07:00

Team Fitness America singles out a fitness specialist to feature each month that has worked hard to help clients reach their fitness goals and embodied the core concepts of what Team Fitness America is all about. The month of October goes to Los Angeles personal trainer, Christian Duran, who has received rave reviews from his clients and has gone above standards in continuing his education while providing excellent customer service to all of his clients.

Christian, who is also in line for personal trainer of the year, is a top-level Los Angeles fitness trainer for Team Fitness America. Due to his 26 years of dedication, continuing education, and excellent client reviews, Christian has been handpicked over 600 other certified fitness professionals as “October Personal Trainer Of The Month”.

Since the age of 11, when Christian picked up his first weight, he knew that he wanted to be involved within the fitness industry. His original drive and dedication started when he decided that he wanted to be stronger and faster than other children at his school, this later led to a successful personal training career.

Christian spent years learning proper training techniques, proper form, nutrition, and diet as well as both weight loss and toning. He coupled his education with his excellent customer service skills and decided he wanted to help people better their lives through weight loss and personal training.

Holding two certifications from PTA, one in personal training and one in nutrition, Christian has been continuously attaining proven results while training his clients. Christian's specialties encompass fat burning, weight loss, and target specific training. Mainly working with female clients, he helps them get their eating habits in line with an appropriate nutritional guideline and increase their lean muscle mass without bulking up.

“I love inspiring people and I feel the responsibility to give and help people who need it," Christian said. “Education is the key to success. I still today strive to educate and listen. You can never be too smart about anything."

Christian continues to educate himself on the latest training techniques, attend seminars and build his portfolio of satisfied clients.

"We put a strong emphasis at Team Fitness America on education," said Margret Pajak, founder of Team Fitness America. "We want all of our personal trainers to continue striving to be the best educated within the fitness industry."

One of Team Fitness America’s Los Angeles clients decided to share her thoughts and feelings about Christian.

“He has helped me get my body back. I lost over 30 pounds in the last three months, joining Team Fitness America has been the best decision that I have made in a really long time,” said client Carmen in Los Angeles.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable personal trainers that are spectacular at achieving results, but only one fitness specialist per month will be chosen as “Personal Trainer Of The Month.”

“Clients looking for a great Los Angeles personal trainer can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Christian,” said Margaret Pajak, who is WomenCertifed for better female customer service and founder of Team Fitness America.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like Christian and have them share in the many joys of reaching fitness goals at an affordable price,” says Pajak.

Team Fitness America Continues September Fitness Buddy Special

2009-09-15T23:29:00.000-07:00

Working out alone can be boring and difficult to stay on pace without having the support of a friend or family member. Support from somebody that can be there when a personal trainer is not, can help keep a client on track to reach his or her fitness goals. Team Fitness America encourages fitness buddy training by offering their customizable sessions with a certified personal trainer for as low as $19.99 per person.

“A fitness buddy is someone that you know you can count on such as your spouse, sister, brother, cousin, or best friend,” said Margie Pajak, founder of Team Fitness America.

“Working out with a fitness buddy will keep your sessions going on a fast pace that will bring your heart rate up while you burn more calories, then once the personal trainer leaves, you will be able to continue your workouts with the same pace and tempo. When the personal trainer returns he or she will provide you with another great workout while giving you and your fitness buddy things to do when they are not there,” added Pajak.

While most people already are looking for an affordable alternative as opposed to joining the gym or they do not want to endure the usual “large gym” intimidation, clients of Team Fitness America can save money, get in shape, and avoid intimidation by being in the comfort of their own home while working out with a loved one.

Only accepting certifications from some of the best nationally recognized organizations, they take things a step further by giving their clients complete control of their fitness program. Clients have the right to choose their workout times, days, and even the gender of the personal trainer that they are working out with throughout the duration of their fitness program.

Team Fitness America, a division of Fit2Max, LLC and an accredited BBB organization, successfully services 19 metropolitan areas including places like Los Angeles, Orange County, New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and many more. In August, Team Fitness America added Atlanta to their servicing list and, in October, they will be announcing three new servicing areas.

“We aim to keep providing America with affordable personal trainers that get results and to keep on helping America one pound at a time,” says Pajak, a WomenCertified business owner.

Team Fitness America Top 10 Reasons To Hire A Personal Trainer

2009-09-13T19:26:00.000-07:00

For many of us, our good intentions of joining a gym and getting ourselves into shape always appear to fall just short of completion. We may buy a gym membership and go a few times a week for the first month but then life always seems to get in our way. If Bobby has soccer, then our aerobics class time is gone. Maybe work extended hours this month and we are just too tired to drive to the gym, change, and workout after a long day. So we get on the internet and buy the latest DVD and swear that we will do the latest kickbox routine after the kids are put to bed, but then it never happens. There are picnics to plan and birthday cakes to bake. Our personal fitness goals are always sent to the back of our closet like last years shoes.

Hiring a personal trainer that will come to you will solve many of these issues. Besides saving gas and time driving to the gym, you get a personal trainer that comes right to your doorstep. You can go right from feeding the baby or from a long day of work to working out. But why do you need a trainer? Why can’t you workout on your own? Here are the Team Fitness America top 10 reasons why having a personal trainer can make the difference in getting your fitness goals reached.

Are you trying to get your family more involved into fitness?

Your health and fitness goals are important, but your family’s level of fitness should be just as important. If they are not as motivated as you are then invite them to workout with you, kind of like a Fitness Buddy. When your personal trainer knocks on your door, have them prepared for a motivating hour of their life. In most cases, once somebody who was not initially interested in a fitness program, but gets introduced to one, tends to be 100 percent more interested in continuing afterwards.

Are you planning a wedding or have a reunion coming up?

Most of us want to look our best for our wedding and we know that we have a short period to get in the best shape possible for that dress. You will be seeing people that you have not seen in a long time at both a reunion and a wedding. You want them to comment on how beautiful you are and ask, “How do you stay in such great shape?” A certified personal trainer will give you the guidance that you need in order to put a rush order on the body of your dreams. Remember, photos last a lifetime.

Did you just have a baby?

A baby will change your body drastically and new mothers tend to feel increased fatigue, which will make you have no desire to workout. From weight gain to needing to tone your midsection, a personal trainer that specializes in pre and post natal fitness training or yoga can help increase your metabolism so that you can reach pre-pregnancy weight even quicker. Simply buying a DVD will not get you the results you want.

Are you embarrassed to go to the gym or don’t know how to use the equipment?

We find ourselves intimidated by the many different choices of equipment that a gym has to offer and especially how it all works. Not to mention all the people staring at a new person that may appear to be lost. If you do decide to go to the gym, then hiring a personal trainer to show you how to use the equipment significantly increases your level of fitness results. When it comes down to it, a basic weight loss program can be developed without ever needing to the use the equipment found in a gym. An in home personal trainer can show you how to use stability balls, resistance bands, and pieces of portable equipment without having the feeling of embarrassment throughout your learning process. Your form will be spectacular and you will see great results. A personal trainer can design a full program for you to use at any time and any place. No more reading the instructions on the equipment or figuring out how to work them.

Are you overweight and need a customized workout plan?

Added weight means extra pounds unnecessarily pushing on your joints and creating other health problems such as increased blood pressure, cholesterol, and risk of heart disease. You need a qualified, certified personal trainer to take your blood pressure, measure your body fat and make sure that you are safe while working out. Being a warrior and trying it on your own will not get you the fast results that you are looking for.

Did you have Bariatric (lap band) surgery and the weight is pouring off?

Unfortunately, the muscles and skin are not toning themselves and you risk having that wrinkly skin affect that many people who attain rapid weight loss endure. In some cases, this has also caused a certain level of regret from getting the surgery followed by depression due to the sagging skin look. Start an exercise program with a personal trainer and they can help you tone up after the surgery.

Do you just want to be more healthy?

Wanting to be healthy and actually putting a fitness regime in place can be a lot of work. Everything from yoga to Pilates and weight training to kettle bells, it can be confusing to the average person with the many different paths that are available to take. Where do you start and where to begin can be confusing and stressful, but with a personal trainer, your guide to navigating all things fitness will seem easy and stress free.

Are you looking for a new job?

Getting a job is tough enough but being overweight or out of shape does not help your chances of landing the job. Employers are more likely to hire thin, in shape, and neatly dressed individuals as this shows a high level of self-commitment. In most employer’s eyes, somebody who is physically fit shows that they take care of themselves, they are professional, and they are going to treat their job with the same respect as they do their self-image. A personal trainer that can help you slim down and trim up will increase your odds of landing that job.

Did you just quit smoking?

Whether you just quit smoking or are attempting to quit smoking, you know that weight gain is inevitable. You need someone there to give you support as you go through the cravings and combat the weight gain. Once you get started, it might be tuff at first, but as your fitness program progresses you will find that you are breathing better and motivated not to smoke any longer. You will also find that guilt factor kick in. If you have a craving to pick up a cigarette, you will always have to remember that if you smoke that cigarette you are taking steps backwards instead of moving forward. Not only are you letting yourself down, but also the personal trainer who is working hard to help you reach your fitness goals.

Do you only workout when it is convenient?

Some of us find excuse after excuse of why we cannot workout today. We can only find time when it is convenient for us, but that convenient time never seems to come. Having a personal trainer come to your home, on your time, is more than convenient. It’s hard not to work out when somebody is knocking on your door with equipment in tow and is ready to get you motivated. It is a luxury that a lot of the movie stars and wealthy have had for years. Imagine having a bit of that luxury that they do and on your time and your schedule.

Having a personal trainer work with you on a consistent basis can make all the difference when you are trying to achieve your goals. For more information about acquiring a certified, background checked personal trainer, please visit www.teamfitnessamerica.com.

Team Fitness America Announces September Personal Trainer Of The Month

2009-09-03T17:01:00.000-07:00

Each month, Team Fitness America picks a fitness specialist as their featured personal trainer of the month out of hundreds of personal trainers. This featured spotlight goes to a personal trainer initially nominated by their fitness director and followed up by excellent client reviews. The month of September goes to Los Angeles personal trainer, Jessica Moon, who has received rave reviews from her clients.

Jessica Moon, who became a personal trainer after recovering from major back surgery, is a commonly requested Los Angeles personal trainer for Team Fitness America. Due to her outstanding client reviews and continued success with helping clients reach their fitness goals, Team Fitness America views Jessica Moon as a top-notch personal trainer and fitness specialist.

Holding two certifications from ACE, Jessica Moon has been personal training clients for five years focusing on both physical fitness and weight management.

“I became a personal trainer after recovering from major back surgery, and with the help of my own personal trainer, I was able to regain my mobility and strength,” said Moon.

“In some areas, I was able to surpass my previous fitness level which taught me through my own experience that being physically fit and healthy should be priorities in everyone’s life,” added Moon.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about Jessica Moon.

“She has been excellent, I went through several personal trainers until I found her,” said Rebecca, a Los Angeles client of Team Fitness America. “She knows how to work with you, knows your capabilities, and tries to push you to maximize your workout.”

Other clients such as Kathleen included, “She is great, she trains myself and my husband and we have a toddler who is here at the same time so we were a little worried about that. She is great with our daughter, distracting her while she continues to have us work out.”

“She is a friend, supper supportive, and also pushes us to go beyond the limit which is wonderful,” added Kathleen.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable personal trainers that are spectacular at achieving results, but only one fitness specialist per month will be chosen as The Personal Trainer Of The Month.

“Clients looking for a great Los Angeles personal trainer can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Jessica,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her and have them share in the many joys of reaching fitness goals at an affordable price,” says Pajak.

Team Fitness America's 8 Reasons To Have A Fitness Buddy

2009-08-24T16:18:00.000-07:00

Hiring a personal trainer is the first step to getting on track with your fitness goals, but staying on track with a high level of consistency can be difficult if you do not have the right support to keep you motivated. Your in home personal trainer will give you guidance, knowledge, and motivation to reach your fitness goals, but it is important to maintain consistency when your personal trainer leaves your home. This is where a fitness buddy can prove to be a crucial part of the success of your fitness program.

Having a fitness buddy that will work out with you and your personal trainer at the same time can double your success rate. Not only can a fitness buddy offer moral support and encouragement, but they will also keep you on track by never allowing you to cancel when you just do not feel like working out. Here are the top 8 reasons to have a friend or family member join you during your in home personal trainer sessions.

1. Accountability - A friend or family member can hold you accountable for your fitness program and food choices. Think of it as a support tool that will guide you in the right direction throughout your fitness program. Your fitness buddy is someone you can call when you are standing in line at the buffet and the fried chicken is calling your name. Or when the dessert cart arrives and you just have to have a piece of the cheesecake. Even when you do not want to do the lunges your personal trainer has on your program, your fitness buddy will be there to keep you moving.

2. Fun - Having someone you can laugh with and workout with will double your fun. If you find that a workout program is fun then you will stick with it longer and see faster results. For example, recall how much you loved to play dodge ball in grade school. It was fun because of the design to make you exercise without actually realizing it. Keeping fitness fun will keep you interested in your fitness program.

3. Better Exercise Form - Having someone learn the exercises simultaneously will provide you with a coach when your personal trainer is not there with you and empower you to become a coach for somebody else. Proper form is necessary to get the most from any exercise and if you are learning new exercises it is great to have an extra set of eyes to remind you to breathe, exhale, or even rest in between sets when you are suppose to.

4. Mind Muscle Connection - Some of the exercises that may be new in your routine you may forget how to complete properly. Having a fitness buddy remind you is great so that you do not miss critical pieces of your routine when your personal trainer is not present.

5. Cost-Effective - Imagine splitting the cost of your in home personal training sessions with someone. Some companies, like Team Fitness America, offer specials where a second person can work out with you at no additional cost. Therefore, if you take the cost of your session and divide it by two, you will find you are hardly paying anything for your sessions. Minimize the spending of your needs, wants, and desires by maximizing the usage of companies that will save you money and make your personal training fun.

6. Encouragement - We all have those days where getting out of bed is a chore and getting on a treadmill for 30 minutes is the last thing that you want to do. You and your fitness buddy will hold each other accountable to keep your fitness program going even when your personal trainer is not there. A great personal trainer will give both you and your fitness buddy a program to follow for continuous results. When you start to feel unmotivated, your fitness buddy will pick you back up. Remember, they will have bad days too and you will be able to return the dedication and motivation when they need it as well.

7. Longevity – Your fitness buddy will become your workout partner by helping you continue the workouts after your personal training package is over. You will not want the fun and results to stop because you have finally reached the fitness goals that you have desired for so long. You can laugh, spend time with a friend, and keep your fitness routines going while not costing you a penny. Most of all, you know that you are doing the routines properly and can encourage each other to stay motivated and accountable.

8. Keep Up The Pace - Keeping a good pace is essential to your routine, especially if you are on limited time constraint and schedule. Having your fitness buddy do a set of lounges while you count and then returning the favor, keeps you both engaged in the exercise and minimizes your rest period so that you do not get distracted or unmotivated. Try an approach of you go, then I go. This will keep up the pace and keep your heart rate up so that you are burning calories and toning your muscles at the same time.

Keep it moving, keep it fun, and keep an eye on each other for form and you will have a recipe for success. Looking forward to celebrating from achieving great results can be a powerful motivator in conjunction with all the money that you save by splitting the cost of your in home personal trainer.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about Hellams.

“I must say Eugene has been the best thing that has happened to my life. He kicks my butt and makes me do my exercise and toning even when I think I can’t,” said Tiffany, a client of Team Fitness America.

“I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with Eugene and have learned a lot. He’s really knowledgeable and has a delightful, supportive personality,” said Lynn, a Team Fitness America client who purchased 11 sessions with Hellams.

Other clients such as Antoinette included, “I feel like Oprah…I can’t believe I have a wonderful trainer. So far, so good.”

Six Secrets To A Team Fitness America Ballerina Bottom

2009-07-18T19:40:00.000-07:00

Having a tight and tone lower half for most women seems unthinkable. Many women desire to have a round, lifted butt that looks great in jeans, shorts and even a bikini. Throughout this article Debbie McFarlen, a top personal trainer for Team Fitness America, will uncover six basic exercises to help reach a perfected ballerina bottom.

Some women spend countless hours at the gym on the stair stepper, hoping for that nice round physique of stars like Jennifer Lopez, but soon find themselves giving up to believe that it must be her genetics. Genetics does play a part in what your physique looks like, but you do not have to accept the body the way it is because change is possible. For years, ballerinas have been performing the lifts and squats that create that nice, round, and tight lower half. Most women forget the tush is a muscle and since we cannot see it ourselves, it is often overlooked but still envied.

Here are six secrets that ballerinas and dancers have used for years to lift, tone, and tuck the lower half of their body. Take note of squeezing your butt muscles and pointing your toe on each exercise, as both of are extremely important for sure success.

1. Squat and Squeeze - Standing at your kitchen counter for balance, squat towards the ground. Make sure your knees are directly above your ankles and never over your toes. Squat and squeeze, exhale on the way up, and stand up on your toes. Pause and inhale, squat almost to floor, exhale and lift, again to your toes. Pause at the top of the exercise and at the bottom for one second. Repeat these 20 times, then rest and repeat again. If you own a stability ball, then you can make a great variation of this exercise. Place the ball on the middle of your back against a wall, then squat down letting the ball roll itself down until your knees reach a 90-degree angle. Remember to keep your knees directly aligned with your ankles and never over the toes.

2. The Ballerina Lift - Hold onto the kitchen counter or something sturdy such as a railing. Squeeze butt muscles and lift your leg as high as you can behind you. Keep your leg straight and toe pointed. Exhale while you lift and inhale as you lower your leg. The key to this exercise is to keep your back straight, face the counter, and focus on lifting your leg as straight as possible with your toe pointed and butt squeezed together. Do 20 of these, rest, then repeat.

3. Romanian Dead Lift - Keeping your left leg straight, foot firmly on the ground, exhale and bend forward so your right leg goes straight out behind you. Point your right toe, straighten your right leg and bring your hands to the floor. You can hold on to a 5lb dumbbell if you like with both hands to add resistance. This exercise will target your butt while increase your level of balance. The first few times you try it, have a person or a sturdy piece of furniture nearby for balance. Once you have enough balance to bend forward and lift your leg straight up behind you, you can move away from the furniture and get the full benefit of the exercise. Remember to squeeze your butt together, keep the extended leg straight, and your toe pointed. Repeat 10 times and switch legs then repeat 10 more times.

4. Bend and Lift - Again holding on to a counter or a sturdy piece of furniture, turn your right foot out, then bend your right knee and lift your left leg to the side as high as you can while inhaling. If you can reach the counter or any surface that is waist high then rest your foot there for one second. Point your toe, then exhale and place foot on the ground. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Switch legs, turning out the left foot, bending your left knee and lifting your right leg to the side on your inhale. Rest your pointed toe on the counter for one second and release to floor. Repeat 10 times.

5. Step N’ Lift - Grab a chair (or take two steps at a time going up the stairs) and step up while keeping your knee in line with your ankle. Exhale at the top, squeeze your butt muscles together, and point your toe of your lifted leg then return to the floor. Repeat 10 times and switch legs. Remember to go slow, squeeze your butt and point your toe.

6. The All-American Lunge - Choose from the walking lunge, reverse lunge or standing lunge. The purpose here is that your front leg works your hamstring and glutes so keep your knee aligned with your ankle while you lower your back leg as far as possible without touching the floor or before you feel any pain. Exhale on your way down and inhale on your way up. The stand and walking lunge is simple and only requires you to step forward while the reverse lunge requires you to simply step back. Make sure you squeeze your butt and breathe as required.

Obviously, ballerinas dance daily and for extended periods, so you may need a few weeks to see results. Based upon additional exercises and diet, you may see the results more quickly. The trick is to stay focused and keep your workouts interesting. The use of an in home personal trainer will help add variety to your workout program while giving you assured results.

Team Fitness America - Five Things To Look For From Your Personal Trainer

2009-07-06T20:52:00.000-07:00

Finding and choosing the appropriate in home personal trainer to meet your fitness needs can be a harrowing and exhausting experience. Most of the time people will use their friend’s trainer as a recommendation only to be disappointed that they do not reach the same goals as their friend because that trainer was not appropriate for them or their fitness needs. Throughout this article, Team Fitness America recommends five key points to take note of when choosing a fitness professional.

1. Certification - Sometimes the most stressful part of finding the right in home personal trainer is figuring out what your trainer knows and how they came to learn it. With all of the certification acronyms available such as ACE, AFAA, NPTI, AAA-ISMA, and even college level degrees, it is easy find ourselves asking, “What does it all mean?” Most certifications are textbook classes and exams that trainers must pass each year to keep their certificate current. The above are the most popular and also include NASM, WITS, NFPI and ACSM. Other online “quick-buy” certifications are not normally acceptable through most companies.

When choosing a personal trainer through an organization, whether it is gym based or home based, you know that your personal trainer’s certification(s) are checked out and certain guidelines are followed to maximize your program results. Places like 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, and even Team Fitness America all have personal trainers that sat for at least one certification exam. In addition, your personal trainer may pick up specialties like kickboxing, aquatic aerobics, group fitness, Spinning (cycling), Yoga or Pilates. Each additional certification will give your personal trainer more credibility and versatility when designing a fitness program that meets your needs.

2. Affordability - Most personal trainers that are not related to a gym or home based fitness company will gladly take you on as a client but they usually will ask you to pay anywhere from $85 to $150 per session. These personal trainers have taken the same courses and passed the same exams as organizational related personal trainers that charge a fraction of the cost.

The common mistake that somebody might make is that if the personal trainer charges more, then he or she is more knowledgeable and experienced than a more affordable personal trainer. If you are unsure of their experience, then ask to see a resume and what school they studied at to obtain their certification. If you are looking to work with a home based fitness company, then look for an organization that requires certain standards from their fitness staff. Going through an organization like this will give you the opportunity to have a qualified in home personal trainer at an extremely affordable price.

3. Background Check - Hiring an independent personal trainer or fitness specialist because your friend recommended it does not mean they are safe or lack a criminal history. Even though you want to get in shape fast, you still want to protect who you are letting in your home or even around your family. If you are seeking an in home personal trainer, then structural based organizations like Team Fitness America as well as many others make sure that their personal trainers have a clean criminal background, checked references, and certifications have been verified. If you just found someone’s business card then how can you be so sure that person is really certificated and has a clean background? You can avoid all of this hassle and concern by using a company that offers prescreened, certified personal trainers.

4. Convenience - Nothing is more frustrating then choosing the right personal trainer and finding out the only slot they have open is during times that you are not available. You need consistent workouts and the only real way that you are going to stay consistent is by procuring a personal trainer during times that are convenient to you. You need a personal trainer that meets your schedule, your days, and your times. Otherwise, you will find yourself wanting to make excuses of why you cannot find time to work out. Make sure that when you choose a personal trainer that you know in advance that they will be able to accommodate your schedule.

5. Compatibility - Your friend at work had good intentions by referring his or her personal trainer to you, but maybe their personality does not live up to the type of person that you can build a bond with. It is important to have the right personal trainer because you are going to build a bond with that person and there has to be a high trust factor to feel that their advice is the best advice. If you are looking to get in shape but you need to start slow and gradually progress in your workout, then hiring a boot camp instructor will only make you want to quit your program from the consistent feeling of always being too sore before your next workout. On the flip side, if you have only allotted yourself a short time period to reach your goals (maybe a wedding, party, or vacation), then you need a personal trainer that will push you beyond your current fitness threshold. Compatibility is more than just personality, it is thinking of your fitness goals with a long-term mind set.

Make an educated decision, but do not get yourself stuck by spending weeks sifting through fitness trainer resumes, meeting them, even asking to background check them all on your own. Go with a health club or in home personal training organization that has worked hard to do all of these things for you. The key factor is to make sure that once you are ready to make that commitment to a healthy lifestyle change that you stay dedicated with it and stick to a good nutritional program while your personal trainer is not with you.

Team Fitness America Releases July Featured Personal Trainer Of The Month

2009-07-01T20:59:00.000-07:00

Team Fitness America continues their featured personal trainer of the month with Orange County based personal trainer and yoga instructor, Joy Hoffmaster. Each month Team Fitness America releases their top personal trainer of the month from personal trainers handpicked from throughout their 18 serviceable metropolitan areas.

Joy Hoffmaster, a highly recommended Orange County personal trainer for Team Fitness America, is being featured as July’s winner due to her excellent client reviews, diversity in training abilities, and her continued success with helping her clients reach their fitness goals.

Hoffmaster develops a client’s program through a carefully planned approach and broadens their fitness experience through traditional personal training while including certain yoga principles to give them a well-balanced physique.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about her.

“Even though I am usually adverse to any physical exercise, Joy has made it possible for me to finally maintain a consistent fitness regimen,” says Rob Ring, a client of Team Fitness America.

“She creatively includes various exercises to keep things fun and has a great attitude that makes even a novice such as myself feel comfortable and motivated,” adds Ring.

Other clients such as Sara Vogt-Lowell included, “Joy is a wonderful trainer…she motivates me to do those few extra reps when I’m ready to give up and really maximizes my workout.”

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable personal trainers that are spectacular at achieving results, but only one personal trainer per month will be chosen as The Fitness Trainer Of The Month.

“We are very happy to have a personal trainer like Joy as part of our team,” says Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America founder and president.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her and to have them share in the many joys of reaching fitness goals at an affordable price,” says Pajak.

Guilt-Free Eating And The Four Known Excuses With Team Fitness America

2009-06-25T21:00:00.000-07:00

“Guilt-Free Eating” is consuming high calorie food that you tell yourself is okay to eat due to a reasonable excuse that you give yourself. Most commonly found to happen on the weekend at a picnic, watching movies, ball game, birthday party, holiday dinner, or any other event that centers around food. We find ourselves “Guilt-Free Eating” at any event we mark on the calendar because we know it is an upcoming good time with a lot of great food. Throughout this article, Team Fitness America will share the four top excuses that we hear on a daily basis that could potentially keep you back from reaching your fitness goals.

Our culture encourages eating as a social activity. Ever notice how most of us congregate around the kitchen at a gathering? Why is every event marked with food? We have birthday cake, lavish Christmas dinners, even a wedding has tons of food. It can be very difficult to navigate healthy choices and not stuff ourselves to the brim at these events.

Some of us will starve ourselves all week or all day knowing a big dinner or an event is about to happen. In our minds, this tells us that we really did not eat many calories today so it will be okay if we eat badly tonight. We give ourselves this excuse to hit up the buffet, splurge on wine and cheese at a mixer after work, have a few slices of pie, and even eat a whole pizza.

It is Friday, Saturday and Sunday after all. The problem is that Monday is right around the corner and you can even feel yourself start to get grouchy late Sunday night. That feeling is not just because a new work week is coming up, but instead a self-induced chemical imbalance that can potentially make you feel depressed. After all the excess eating over the weekend you will likely starve yourself on Monday with lettuce, water and maybe a cracker, if you are good, that is.

The top 4 “Guilt-Free Eating” Excuses:

“Tomorrow I will eat better to balance out the calories I just ate (at the party, dinner, event or over the weekend).”

Honestly, tomorrow’s diet change never comes. The change in your eating habits has to change today and right now. Everyday you tell yourself “tomorrow I will make a change” is just another day that your body has to succumb to the comforting desires that your mind tells it that it has to have. It makes the tomorrow even harder to reach if you keep putting it off. If you make a change today, everyday, then it is inevitable that you will lose weight from taking charge of your diet.

“Today is Friday! I will start my diet on Monday morning…I swear!”

If you are an “Overeating Weekend Warrior”, expect to be held back from your weight loss goals week after week. This is kind of like starting a new diet tomorrow morning, but instead it gives you clearance to eat whatever you want the whole weekend with a fresh start Monday. All of that “Guilt-Free Eating” will create a whirlwind of excess water weight, stomach bloating, and sluggish depression issues come Monday morning. Have you noticed that on Monday everyone’s lunch looks healthy, but come Friday it is a whole different plate of food being ordered? That is the Weekend Warrior Syndrome. The permission to eat salad on Monday and because we were good all week, we reward ourselves with pizza on Friday.

Over the weekend you should go out and have a good time. It will get your mind off of work or family issues while relaxing your mind making you prepared for the upcoming week. Just remember to stay on track by focusing on eating and drinking in moderation. Never succumb to the concept that you will start again on Monday morning.

“One (doughnut, piece of cheesecake, bag of chips) won’t hurt!”

We hear this time and time again. Let’s face it; one doughnut, or any comfort food turns into two doughnuts, which turn into a dozen. One handful of potato chips ends up being the whole bag. If this isn’t you and you truly only eat one doughnut, or a handful of chips, then that is great. Out of curiosity though, how many other foods did you say that about today? The bottom line is that it all adds up calorie by calorie.

“I really don’t eat that much…really!”

Most people that are overweight are closet eaters, which we don’t like to face or admit, but it is a painful truth that it is always okay to look to food for comfort when nobody else is watching. The truth of the matter is that you have to be eating high calorie foods and you must be doing it when nobody is around. Unless you have a medical condition, which will understandably hold you back, there is no reason that you are not reaching your goals if you are watching what you eat and following a supervised fitness program within your home.

Beat the excuses by starting your healthy eating program now and start it today. If weekends are your weakness, start the diet Friday. This way when Monday rolls around, you are already 3 days ahead. If specific foods are the problem, avoid them altogether for one week, it will make it easier if you keep them out of sight. Do not overeat at food functions, eat before you go so that you are not starving and simply pick at the different selections. Above all, if you binge when no one is looking, do not eat alone. Plan all meals ahead and keep healthy foods on hand at all times.

Five Fast Ways To Get Beach Body Abs With Team Fitness America

2009-06-12T23:03:00.000-07:00

When you mix Pilates and personal training, you can get a tight, toned, beach ready body in almost no time at all. Most clients feel that Pilates is separate from a basic in home personal training program and requires an individualized focus. On the contrary, Pilates focuses on core muscles and stabilization of the midsection, which in turn, enables you to focus on all of your muscle groups and get the most of your training workout.

Pairing Pilates and personal training in the same workout can increase your muscle definition and give you a lean sculpted look. For fast, seriously fit abs, try these five quick exercises to kick off your summer beach body workout.

1. The Ball Lift - This is a classic move that will target stubborn lower abs that women mainly refer to as their “pouch”. Begin by lying on your back and put your hands under hips for support. Place a stability (Swiss) ball between your feet and extend your legs straight up in the air. Squeeze the ball tight. Lifting and lowering a stability (Swiss) ball that weighs less than 1 lb will assist your stubborn lower abs in tightening and toning. Most of the time when basic crunches are done, cheating occurs, which only can cause strain and pain. In both Pilates and personal training, you need to focus on your abs as you lift and lower the ball in a controlled motion. Take a two-second exhale to lower your legs and continue lowering it until the ball is just off the ground. Then take a two-second inhale while you lift your legs back up to the starting position. Repeat 10 times then rest.

2. The Ball Extension - This move targets the entire abs from top to bottom. While still lying on the floor, squeeze the ball tightly between your feet, inhale and bend your knees to your chest. Then exhale while extending your feet to the ceiling. Continue exhaling, remember to keep your legs straight, and then lower your legs to the point that you have almost reached the floor. Inhale, bring your knees to your chest and repeat. Take two seconds on the inhale, and four on the exhale. Keep your hands under your hips for stability. Repeat 10 times then rest.

3. The Reverse Ball Extension - This is the same move as the Ball Extension but in reverse. Start in the same position, extend your legs out first while exhaling, then lift to ceiling on the exhale. Inhale and bring your knees to your chest. Take four seconds on exhale, and four on the inhale. Repeat 10 times then rest.

4. Dinner Plate - This classic move targets all the side (oblique) muscles that extend around to the back and targets stubborn “love handles”. Again, starting on your back with your feet in the air and the ball between your feet, make small circles the size of a dinner plate in the air. The key to this exercise is to place your legs at a 45-degree angle so you are using gravity to pull down as you rotate. Do 10 times in each direction then rest.

5. The Twist - Keeping your back on the ground and your feet in the air, keep the ball tightly between your feet. Go to a 45-degree angle and twist your legs left and right focusing on the oblique muscles on each side. Repeat 10 times then rest.

It is important to pair personal training components in your weekly workout routine with a great abs stabilization workout. Joseph Pilates created the original Pilates method workout, which traditionally, included machines and pulley systems.

The advent of portable, lightweight equipment has enabled everyone to be able to workout from home, the park, or even the beach. Using Pilates exercises a few times per week and pairing it with a good personal strength training workout will increase your workout potential, decrease fat and propel your weight loss.

Each month, Team Fitness America will release three articles that are developed through their new Fitness Corner. This section of their website has been developed to introduce workout advice including motivation, how-to tips, and much more.

Team Fitness America Announces June Personal Trainer Of The Month

2009-06-02T20:32:00.000-07:00

Team Fitness America begins their new “Featured Trainer Of The Month” Award with the innovative and motivational Richy Jacobs out of Redondo Beach, CA. Each month Team Fitness America is going to choose their top pick for personal trainer of the month from personal trainers throughout their now 18 serviceable metropolitan areas.

Richy Jacobs, a top personal trainer for Team Fitness America, is being featured as June’s winner due to his overwhelming client success, building client base, and vast knowledge of experience.

“Playing intercollegiate football and running track for the junior Olympics gave me the discipline to stay in shape and be healthy at an early age,” says Jacobs. “Every person in the world has the potential to look and feel like the person that they have always wanted to be…all it takes is dedication.”

Jacobs has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Recreation Administration and currently holds certifications from NCCPT, NASM, EFTI, NCEP, and AIFE. Not only is he a certified personal trainer but he also qualified for kickboxing and spinning instruction.

“I have trained over 100 clients for the last 3 years…This experience in training different body types gives me the opportunity to thrive and help each and every one of my clients achieve their fitness goals,” says Jacobs.

He also has rave reviews from clients that he has trained over time. One of the most recent clients that has shared their thoughts about Jacobs is client Timothy Williams.

“I used to do BootCamp and had knee and shoulder problems as a result,” says Williams. “Richy specifically creates workouts that fixes and strengthens those problem areas.”

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable personal trainers that are spectacular at achieving results, but only one personal trainer per month will be chosen as The Fitness Trainer Of The Month.

“We aim for this to become a yearly roster of top personal trainers that will be shared as our calendar of the best through a dedicated section of our website,” says Alan Prior, Vice President Of Team Fitness America. “We want to show that even though we are very cheaply priced, we still provide America with the top qualified in home personal trainers that it seeks.”
