This is the problem with the fitness world!

It shouldn't be about the freaks that have made themselves amazing in one aspect of fitness and then try to get others to think that their "thing" is best.

Our job as fitness professionals (almost hard to put those two words together), is to educate and inform the public about adapting a healthy lifestyle.

It's not healthy to run marathons and not be able to lift your own bodyweight....

It's also not healthy to bench 500 pounds and not be able to run across the street to save your life....

It's about adopting a healthy lifestyle where you can do a little of everything!

You can run a mile and not want to do die, you can do 10 pullups, you can easily bend and touch your toes, you eat a blend of fruits-vegetables-protein that are whole foods, and most importantly you have an attitude of gratitude for God and all He has given you.

That is the message we should be giving to make this world a better, healthier place to live for all!

Thank you and God bless,
Mike DeMora

This post is not meant to call out anyone in particular. It is meant to bring awareness of the bigger problem. The confusion of what is healthy and to help guide others choices to healthier options....

I want to tell you something I don't talk about enough.

There was a point in my life where I was living in the back of a pickup truck in Los Angeles.

I was a professional kickboxer. I came out to LA to be an action movie star. (Don't laugh)

A trainer — someone I trusted — injured my hip doing some kind of stupid stretching technique.

I lost the small part I got. I couldn't fight anymore. I lost my apartment. I lost my identity.

I thought I lost everything.

My hip kept popping out of the socket. I could have gone home to Cleveland. But I was too ashamed. I didn't want anyone to know I failed like that. So I stayed.....

In the back of a pickup truck I borrowed from a friend.

And one night, I had a thought that changed everything:

"I can be a better trainer than the guy who did this to me."

That thought became NCEP.

If you're in a moment right now where everything feels like it fell apart — stay in the truck.

Your idea is in there with you. God bless you....

👇 DM me the word TRAINER and I'll show you how to get certified for ~$200.

Thank you for your help Caleb....

You schedule your workouts.

You schedule your lunch

Do you schedule time with God?

No other cert company will even open up the conversation on Spiritual Health.... Until now!

I am not here to judge.

I am here to ask the questions......

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you and God bless,

How is your Spiritual Health? 🙏

You track your body fat. You check your blood work. You know how much you bench.

But when's the last time you scheduled time with God?

We only make time to talk to God when things go wrong. But God is not a wishing well. A real relationship requires showing up — every day.

NCEP is leading a movement to restore the soul of the trainer.

Physical Health. Mental Health. Spiritual Health.

DM us the word SOUL and we'll send you more.

You know your body fat percentage.

You know how much you bench.

Some of you even know your A1c and testosterone levels.

You dialed in your physical health.

How is your Spiritual Health?

How is your relationship with God?

When is the last time you read the Bible?

When is the last time you sat in silence to be with Him?

Look at your calendar right now.

You have your workouts scheduled.

Lunch scheduled.

Where is God in your calendar?

We schedule everything we value.

And most of us only turn to God when something goes wrong.

He is not a wishing well.....

He wants a relationship with you.

Not a transaction.

At NCEP we have always believed that real health is not just physical.

It is not just mental.

Real health has to include Spiritual Health as well.

The fitness industry has spent decades focused on body fat and bench press numbers

A small number of coaches have started talking about mental health.

Almost NONE are talking about Spiritual Health.

We are starting that conversation today

You know your body fat percentage.

You know how much you bench.

Some of you even know your testosterone levels, your A1C, your resting heart rate.

You are dialed in on your physical health.

But let me ask you something.

How is your spiritual health?

How is your relationship with God?

When did you last open your Bible with intention?

When did you last sit in silence and actually listen?

Look at your calendar right now.

You have workouts blocked out.

Meetings blocked out.

Lunch blocked out.

Where is God on that calendar?

We schedule everything we value.

And most of us only turn to God when something goes wrong.

When the diagnosis comes.

When the relationship ends.

When the money runs out.

But God is not a wishing well.

He is not there to be called on when things fall apart and ignored when they don't.

He wants a relationship with you.

Not a transaction.

At NCEP we have always believed that real health is not just physical.

It is not just mental.

Real health includes your spiritual life.

The fitness industry has spent decades focused on body fat and bench press numbers.

A small number of coaches have started talking about mental health.

Almost none are talking about spiritual health.

We are starting that conversation today.

Because you cannot train someone to their fullest potential if you are only working on one third of who they are.

I'm going to be honest with you.

You've been living the trainer lifestyle for years.

You go to the gym before work.

Your coworkers ask you about meal prep, your friends ask you about their workouts, and your family texts you every time they start a new program.

You give good answers.

You know what works.

You just can't explain the why in a way that feels official.

So you looked at NASM. You saw $1,000. You read two pages of anatomy you'll never use in a real session.

You closed the tab.

Here's the truth.

The problem isn't you. It's the system.

NASM and ISSA are marketing companies. The education is secondary. The price is not a signal of quality. It's a business model.

At NCEP, we charge $199 for the same credential that connects you to a floor interview at EoS Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Crunch, and so many others.

We are the only national cert that still runs live, hands-on education inside real gyms.

Our live class pass rate is 92%. That includes people who showed up without pre-studying.

You have been giving away free coaching for years.

It's time to get paid for it.

DM me the word READY and I'll send you the 9 steps to getting there.

You're training for the mirror. That's fine... for now.

But at 60, nobody cares what your arms look like.

Can you get off the floor? Can you carry groceries without pain? Can you play with your grandkids?

THAT'S function. And function is what keeps you alive. Really alive.

At NCEP we teach 7 foundational movement patterns. Not because it's trendy. Because humans have moved this way since the beginning of time.

Train for the long game. Your future self will thank you.
