How the Scale Fails to Measure Up!

You've been working out consistently for a few weeks. Getting up early, packing your lunch, avoiding sweets and drinking more water. After two weeks, you feel its time to step on the scale. To your utter amazement, you have gained 3lbs. Immediately, you feel an overwhelming sensation of discouragement. You think to yourself, why is this the case? What did you do wrong?

Absolutely nothing! One major reason so many people "give up" on exercise is because the scale is the dominant tool used to measure progress. This is an issue. The scale only measures total mass. The scale cannot tell you if 2lb weight gain is lean muscle or fat. Conversely, if you see a 3lb weight loss the scale cannot tell you if 2lb were fat and 1lb was muscle. The scale is limited in the information it can provide.

Whats the solution? XMT-3 Training utilizes calipers in combination with the scale to help determine your bodyfat percentage. Your overall bodyfat percentage takes into account gender, age, weight and skinfold measurements from various areas of the body. Most importantly, the bodyfat percentage separates Fat from Lean Muscle tissue (skeletal muscle). Using calipers in combination with the scale is a much better way to track progress along your fitness journey. All XMT-3 Training clients are provided their unique bodyfat percentage after the FREE consultation. From there, we work to help improve those numbers through the personal training process.

If you dont like the number on the scale and feeling frustarted, dont quit. Send an email [email protected] to set up a FREE consultation. I look forward to hearing from you

What XMT-3 Training clients are saying:

“I gained so much muscle strength and confidence with Eric’s support. He went above and beyond and checked in on me regularly outside of our session hours to help keep me accountable which is something I really needed”

- Helen

“I think about where I used to be - Binge-eating on the couch, never bothering to cook, forcing myself to do a cardio video once in a blue moon and barely able to get through it - and can't believe the progress I have made.”

- Aubrey

“I have always had the best of intentions, and done multiple short "boot camps" but have never stuck with fitness. UNTIL NOW!!!”

- Danielle

“I thought I knew what I was eating and how much of but I was all wrong. Getting help from Eric was one of the best choices I could have made for my fitness journey and recommend him to anyone that is looking to feel and look healthier.”

Helping Others Reach Their Health/Fitness Goals!

My name is Eric Franklin and I own/operate XMT-3 Training. For nearly 10 years, I have been helping individuals improve their health and reach their fitness goals. Here is how I help:

Free consultation: this is where I learn about you and your current challenges. We have a discussion that involves your past fitness experience, specific challenges and goals. I obtain caliper readings that provide biometric information that will be used to measure progress. Next go over a workout that helps establish your strengths and identifes areas of weaknesses. The consultation process is key to understanding who you are as an individual.

Training Proposal: after the free consultation is complete you will receive a training proposal via email within 24 hours. The training proposal is filled with specifics such as bodyfat percentage, overall bodyfat and lean muscle tissue which are all important variables. I present the information in the present tense than forecast how those numbers will change over a 90-day period. I list provide the steps we will take together to make sure those numbers change. Finally, I offer multiple training programs that can help you reach your goals.

Home programming: when you are an XMT-3 Training client, I write a specific training program that supports your goals. This training program builds on the personal training session and helps strengthen your exercise knowledge thus empowering you to feel more comfortable with training. Each week you receive a new workout.

Nutritional Support: this is key to overall physical change and the area most people struggle in. I help you build a healthy diet routine into your life that will support your training/physique goals. I do not require that we conquer this hurdle on day one. Instead, we work on this process together by making small tweaks along the way.

Professional accountability: this is where I hold you accountable for your success. Does it involve yelling/threats, absolutely not! I check-in with you via text/email to make sure the home programming workout has been completed on the day it is assigned. What if the workout is not complete? We work through whatever challenge that may have stopped you from completing the workout and together we come up with a plan to help you succeed!

This is just a brief rundown of how I will help you reach your goals. Interested in improving your health ? Email [email protected] to send a message to get started today. I look forward to hearing from you

Reunited And It Feels So Good...

Excited to have Aubrey back with XMT-3 Training. She is a phenomenal person, hard worker and truly dedicates herself to the community as a whole through her work with the Duluth Chamber of Commerce! I'm sure many people can relate to Aubrey's situation. She works hard and is busy both professionally and personally. Often times, she found herself prioritizing her health/fitness needs last. Worst yet, sometimes she simply didnt make time for herself.

I reached out a couple months ago once I began the Gym Buddy training program and offered her a consult. It has been a few years since we trained together (where she enjoyed a wonderful transformation). We worked out and I helped with a couple exercise ideas. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Aubrey made the decision to sign back up and take control of her fitness. Over the next 12 weeks, XMT-3 Training will help her develop a specific program that meets her needs and fits into her busy lifestyle. The major focus being an organized 12 week plan with observable goals versus random workouts (more on that later).

When we are all done, I will upload Aubreys program, yes a 12 week training program and make it available for download for FREE. My goal is to help provide those interested in a plan not just random workouts. Thanks again, Aubrey. I look forward to the next few months. ☺️💪

Lack of Time & Confidence

Are the two major reasons why people do not use their gym membership. XMT-3 Training's Gym Buddy Training program is the perfect solution. Here is how you will conquer the two biggest hurdles for attending the gym regularly.

Scheduled Workout Session: The Gym Buddy Training program offers a once a week scheduled training session. This is a 45 minute session that we schedule that meets your needs. It can be early morning, mid day, evenings or weekends. We want to make sure you have a routine training day that fits into your busy life. When you have an appointment you are less likely to forgo your workout.

How we Build Confidence: Each workout is structured to help you learn how to effectively use the equipment, select the proper weights and perform the movement correctly. Over time, this will help you to build confidence which eliminates a major barrier to gym attendance. Furthermore, each client receives a weekly training program that gives them specific workouts complete with examples, number of sets, repetitions and rest time. This unique feature ensures that clients are building up the confidence to independently work on their own!

Do your workouts, work?

This morning I met a client at 6:45am for a Gym Buddy Training session. Here is a quick overview of what we covered:

✅ Single Leg Dumbbell Bench Step & Press: This move is a great movement to begin a total body workout as it engaged nearly all the muscles. Client places one foot on the bench, steps up, standing erect and presses the dumbbell straight up over the head and returns to start position.

✅ Machine Flyes w/Smith Machine Push-ups: This superset engages the upperbody with resistance with the machine flye then the Smith push-ups act as a stretching movement to place further stress on the targeted area while making sure not to overload the client with too much weight. All clients (especially women) are taught standard/variation push-ups in XMT-3 Training Sessions.

✅ Machine Rear Delt Flye w/Plate overhead raises: This superset works the rear deltoids with the first exercise then holding a 10lb plate at chest level the client raises the weight to engage the rear delts again but this time covering a different plane of movement.

✅ Leg Press w/Single Dumbbell Squat (Pause): This exercise effectively targets the lower body, completely. The leg press engages the quadricep muscles while super-setting with Dumbbell Pause squat actively engages the hamstrings, glutes and lower back!

✅ Machine Shoulder Press: No super-setting for this movement. We want to build her shoulder strength and overhead pressing ability. This machine is a safe way to accomplish that goal. The seated position allows for back support while allowing the client to focus on pressing the weight overhead.

✅ Machine Assisted Pull-ups: One goal with this client is to help her do pull-ups on her own. Therefore, we have been utilizing the assisted pull-up machine. This allows for the client to experience the movement and the necessary muscles needed. We are slowly working our way there!

✅ Single Leg TRX squats: This is a great bodyweight movement that targets the lower body and focuses on balance. We are slowly incorporating TRX movements into her training to help build balance while adding muscle.

✅ Reverse Decline Bench Abs: Finally, we end with a core movement that wraps up the session. I will keep this move a secret ☺️

All the exercises listed above were done in 3 sets with timed rest breaks. We completed this workout in just under 45 minutes. Do your workouts, work? If not, its time to try XMT-3 Training Gym Buddy training. It is an affordable way to help develop muscle, burn fat and learn how to effectively train your body while not spending hours at the gym!
