The best way to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms is to live the best life possible.

The United States is still the land of opportunity.

Think about the way you would want your loved ones to carry on if you laid down your life for them.

Don't take their sacrifice for granted.

Don't settle for anything less than excellence.

Ladies, don't think I don't have any appreciation for you just because most of my posts have been geared towards men.

In the 23+ years I've been working as a trainer most of my clients have been women.

I love working with women in the gym. In my experience they've always shown up ready to work hard and welcome the challenges.

I enjoy seeing them flip the switch to becoming a full on savage for 45 minutes straight.

I love it when after a few months they're doing reps with weights they never thought they would even touch.

I have a few openings for small group training as well as one on one training.

If you're ready to be that Mama Bear send me a DM and I will fill you in on all of the details.

New client specials through the end of this month, so reach out now to get started!

I'm on a mission to help you rockstar Dad's out there look and feel your best so you can set the best example possible for your kids and grandkids to come.

You want them to not only remember the pearls of wisdom, you want them to remember how strong and healthy you always were too.

I've been there, and I'm still there and I love being able to still hang with my now teenage kids at 49 years old.

It means a lot to them too.

They observe more than they listen. Give them something to look up to and aspire to.

I've trained for all different sorts of things over the years, but being in great shape for my kids has been the most important and by far most gratifying.

I loved the feeling when we would pull up to a playground and ALL of the kids would get excited to see us because they knew it was on once I arrived.

I had the energy to wear out an entire group of kids over the course of a few hours. They would leave exhausted.

Our most common game was freeze tag, and we had two rules. I'm "it" the entire time, and there is no base and no time outs. When you get tired, you get caught.

The parents were always happy to see me too because they knew their kids were having a great time and getting worn out. Tired kids are more manageable...

The sad part is, I can't remember more than 1 or 2 times over the years where another parent would join in, or when I saw them do anything more than push a kid on a swing

While being fit enough to be really active with my kids has been the most rewarding part of staying fit, it has also been the most challenging.

I've seen plenty of "gym rats" completely fall off track after having kids. I'm not downplaying or underestimating the difficulty in maintaining and improving your fitness goals when you have little ones.

I've been through it, and I have a high energy 4 year old along with a bunch of pre teens and teenagers to keep up with so I'm still in the thick of it myself.

It's vitally important for yourself and your kids to show up as the best version of yourself and set a good example for them to follow.

This is why I'm designing a program specifically for parents to help you stay healthy, strong and active for yourself and the one's who count on you and look up to you.

Let me help you.

Being able to save your small child from a boulder careening down a mountain is only one reason to train.

Whenever people say "You can't out train a bad diet" I always think back to this time in my life.

I was in my late twenties, working as a personal trainer, lifting weights 4-5 days a week, and boxing with my coach for 2 hours at a time 3x week. This was only two weeks in and I was down to around 190 from a lean 205. With all of my activities, optimal hormone production, youth, and lean body body mass I was a calorie burning machine.

It was incredibly difficult for me to stay above 200lbs with my small frame.

I was eating around one and a half grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, 75 grams of fat including my fish oil supplements and as many grams of carbohydrates as I could get my hands on just to try to maintain my weight.

I didn't need more protein, I needed more calories in general.

Nowadays I don't have that problem, because I don't have that same lifestyle. I'm older and have a lot more responsibilities taking up my time.

If I want to stay in the type of shape I want to be in then I need to track my calories and my macronutrients.

I'd be willing to bet the same is true for most of you.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be miserable.

If you want help with setting up a training and nutrition plan you can stick to that provides results I would be happy to help you.

Comment "results" below and I will reach out to you.

I'm looking for 8 men who can commit to 45 minutes 3x per week to build a lean, powerful superhero physique that turns heads and commands respect.

If that is you then call now to take advantage of my new client special, because once the first 8 spots are gone so is this deal.

I'm offering 16 weeks of coaching and one on one training 3x per week for only $1500!!

At the end of 16 weeks if you follow the simple program you will be a whole new man.

I know I haven't put much out lately, so I come back bearing a gift. I'm putting together a FREE 13 week beginners training template that goes over what I would do with a new client who hasn't worked out in a while.

I am going to dispell a few commonly believed myths about how to transform your physique and lay out the highest return on your time and sweat investment workout plans to fit your lifestyle.

I'm going to cover nutrition, cardio, strength training and how to design the most effective routine for you specifically.

A lot of the information you are going to have to sort out yourself, but it will all be based on what I know from 30 years of experience to deliver the best results.

The template itself is 100% FREE with no strings attached.

However, if you do want accountability and help figuring out what is going to work the best for you I got you covered there too.

Starting June 1st I am launching my coaching website where the first 50 people have an opportunity to become founding members for only $10 a month and on top of that receive early notifications and specialty pricing/bonuses for life on all future events.

If you're not into commitments I understand that and am also offering Zoom calls for $20 for 30 minutes to go over whatever you need clarification with.

Either way I want to see all of my friends looking and feeling their best and not wasting time on things that don't work for them.

I love you,
Rick

We're right around the 6 week mark into 2023, and congratulations to you if you're sticking to your resolutions and getting great results. I really am happy for you if that's the case, but statistically speaking most people have already fallen off course and given up.

If you're frustrated with the lack of results for all of your efforts, or just couldn't quite implement the plan because it wasn't compatible with your lifestyle and current demands I can help you.

There's probably only a few things that need to be tweaked to optimize your results, and some accountability missing to keep you on track.

It's not too late to make 2023 the year you get in the best shape of your life.

When most people fall off track, they fall hard and oftentimes end up worse than when they started.

If you're not ready to give up on yourself just yet be one of the first 10 people to let me help you.

I'm offering online training with custom designed training programs and nutrition guidelines to get YOU the results you desire.

No cookie cutter garbage here, real custom plans designed for real results.

If you're seeing this, and reading this far then I have a special for you.

13 weeks of constantly evolving training and nutrition coaching with weekly accountability calls and unlimited email access for only $900 for the first ten people to take advantage of this offer. (Regularly $1350)

I'm only taking 10 people because I really want to deliver a true concierge experience. This is not a fake scarcity tactic like so many people use online.

I am committed to delivering results and am offering a 100% money back guarantee if you carry out the entire 13 weeks according to the plan and are not satisfied with the results.

13 weeks from now you're going to be different than you are now, but how much better or worse is up to you.

Send me a private message to get started.

I look forward to serving you.

Happy New Year 2023!

The first of the year has a special meaning of renewal for most people. Motivation and the desire to make changes are at their peak right now.

We all know that motivation doesn't last, and it's discipline and habits that carry you through, but if motivation is all that we have to work with right now I'll take it.

The gyms are about to be packed with new people swearing that this is the year that they finally get in shape. It will be this way for a few weeks until they get frustrated and give up, claiming that they tried everything.

The reason for their frustration is they made a few mistakes in their planning and took off 100 miles per hour in the wrong direction. They are highly motivated after all.

The mistakes are usually based around 3 things, and I'm about to show you how to avoid them so this doesn't happen to you.

Mistake Number One is that most people begin with too drastic of a diet and become miserable and don't think it's worth it, especially for the lack of results they are seeing. Most people would rather stay fat than be miserable, and I can't really blame them. Being fit and healthy is supposed to enhance your quality of life, not take away from it. Successful weight loss nutrition plans follow a few simple rules. You have to maintain a calorie deficit, and you must get adequate protein. There is no bad food list that if you eat from it will destroy all of your progress. You can keep your favorite foods on your plate, but it's up to you to control the amount. Calories are still the deciding factor.

Mistake Number Two is focusing too heavily on cardio when it comes to working out. To see real changes in your body focus your energy into building muscle and getting stronger. A good strength training routine will do much more to build a lean and muscular physique than doing excessive cardio will. Be sure that you are pushing, pulling, squatting/lunging, rotating, and doing loaded carries Ideally twice a week. You don't have to try to fit all of these exercises into every workout, just be sure that at the end of the week you covered all of your bases. This will be determined by your availability and how well you recover from training. Still do your cardio, but prioritize building muscle and getting stronger and you will get better results.

Mistake Number Three is not having a solid plan that they adhere to and having zero accountability. Without a plan and accountability it's way too easy to self sabotage. How many times do you find yourself second guessing your decisions? How easy is it to skip a day and tell yourself you'll make it up later? With no plan and no one to ask questions to when you feel stagnant or begin to doubt yourself it's no surprise that most people give up and feel like there's something wrong with them.

I've been through this all myself, and have helped dozens of people not only reach their fitness goals but go on to do things they never thought possible when they were first getting started.

Let me help you build a training program based around where you are, where you want to go, and what tools we have available.

The basic principles are universal and apply to 99% of the population, but how you apply them is specific to your body, lifestyle, goals, etc.

Don't follow some cookie cutter routine that doesn't fit your lifestyle and isn't sustainable. Consistency is the key to long-term success.

Let me design a plan for you that you can actually stick to and progress with, and allow me to monitor your progress and check in with you on a weekly basis to go over what you should expect to experience and make adjustments as needed.

I have room for 10 people who want a custom training program, custom nutrition plan, weekly accountability check ins, email access, and to become part of an on-line community of people with similar goals and challenges.

The first 10 people to begin will also be FOUNDING MEMBERS of my online training community and will have special pricing for life on this training program as well as all upcoming events.

Make this year the last year that you put "getting in shape" on your New Years Resolutions list!

To get started simply comment below 2023 and I will reach out to you with the details.

I look forward to helping you reach your fitness goals this year!

This group is designed to benefit people who are finding it difficult to get started. The workouts and nutrition guidelines are going to be designed around what I would do with a new client who is just starting out.

The primary focus will be on losing body fat, increasing lean muscle, and improving your cardiovascular conditioning and health.

There is a cost of $25 for the 5 weeks, which serves primarily to keep you accountable to yourself because you have put a little bit of skin in the game.

For your five dollars a week you will have access to a private group of people who are all on the same mission as you. Myself and your group of peers will help you stay disciplined when motivation gets low. (It's going to)

Inside the group, or through private messages if you prefer you will have your questions answered by a professional trainer with more than 20 years of experience.
