  • Lift Weights - Be Happy!

    How many times have these words been said usually from female clients, “I just want to tone, not be bulky”. Then they tell us about how they found this great home routine where they just use a can of soda to perform 100 reps to achieve this “toned” look. Let’s look past the fact you have a can of soda and get to the issue of what does toned even mean? Often when you dig a little deeper with your clients most of them will tell you what they mean is, that they want to have a little more muscle but with more definition and not bulk. OK, how do we achieve this? The only way to get their toned look is to add some lean muscle mass while losing fat mass. The ....

  • Fat - It's not all bad

    If you type the word “fat” into your search bar, you will pull up literally thousands of articles dedicated to the dreaded word. Generally speaking, fat is a fitness, nutrition and medical world buzz word that elicits a strong negative response. You need to lose fat! Stop eating so many fatty foods! Well, wouldn’t it make sense that to truly be on the healthy path of life, you should just eliminate fat altogether? The truth is, our body actually NEEDS fat to survive. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines since 2005 have recommended that adults get 20%-35% of their calories from fats. While that sounds doable, the issue is that the typical ....

  • Are You Really That Hungry?

    Restaurant portions in the U.S. are so large that others in the civilized world can not even fathom how one person can eat a meal by themselves. While it's nice to know you're getting your money's worth, consuming large portions can be the equivalent to eating all of your daily calories in one meal. One . And it's not just restaurant portions either. We overindulge at home as well. Changing your lifestyle isn't about starving yourself and straddling the fence between satiation and constant hunger, but we need to get smart about what and how much we're putting on our plates and into our bodies. Sometimes, hunger is actually thirst in disguise. If you ignore the signs of thirst for more ....

  • High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

    A fast, efficient way to work out, high intensity interval training (HIIT) has become the go-to method for quick fat loss. Utilizing short, intense bursts of exercises with less intense moves or complete rest in between, this method of exercise is an incredibly efficient way to cash in on all of the fat-burning, metabolism boosting benefits. Since the mid-1990s, researchers have confirmed the benefits of HIIT as part of a weekly exercise regimen aimed at body fat loss. When compared to traditional forms of exercise, a Canadian research team found that traditional forms of exercise may burn more calories, but HIIT burns more fat. But, losing body fat quickly is not the only ....

  • Importance of Fiber

    Here’s a great article by our soon to be registered nutritionist Anna Byrnes on the importance of fiber in your diet and how you can increase your intake. There are two types of fibers, soluble and insoluble, the gut needs to be working with both regularly in order to continue to function smoothly on a day-to-day basis. Fiber can be found in many sources; however, it is richest in unprocessed and homemade foods. The average American diet consists of about 15 grams of fiber per day, while it is recommended that we need 25 grams of fiber at a minimum to achieve a well-functioning GI (gastrointestinal) system. Fiber recommendations do not have an upper limit, while healthy ranges ....

  • Strength Training Tips for the New Year

    Strength training, also known as resistance training, is a type of physical exercise that involves using resistance to stimulate the muscles to contract and build strength. This can be done through a variety of methods, including lifting weights, using resistance bands, or even just using your own body weight through exercises like push-ups and squats. While strength training is often associated with bulking up and building muscle mass, it has a wide range of benefits that extend beyond just aesthetics.

Christine M

I'm 60 years old, 50 pounds overweight and since the pandemic started I've averaged 800 steps a day. I've had spurts of motivation on my own here and there but nothing that I could stick with, and therefore no results. I didn't have strength in my hands and arms, my legs, and I was out of breath walking up or downstairs. I couldn't climb out of a canoe or get off the floor without requiring help. I started with Motivate Fitness on July 14th 2023. MF tailors the workout to my level, where I am right now. It's challenging! It's hard. And it's working. There are some true athletes there that inspire me. And there are also lots of folks who are starting out like me, making real progress at their own pace. I was nervous for my first workout, because I'm so out of shape and older. I have never once felt out of place at the gym. I feel like I'm part of the group, I belong there as much as anyone, and rather than feeling intimidated, I feel fully supported. Tim and Jacob are extremely knowledgeable; they easily recognize where I need to/can do more, or maybe need to pull back. When I walk out of the gym after my work out I am on cloud nine, and I know I've done something that makes me healthier and stronger. I always look forward to the next workout with Tim and Jacob at MF. I am stronger, can walk up the stairs without pulling myself using the railing, hands free!!! I can carry a full laundry basket up or down the stairs like it's nothing. I can sit on the floor and get up on my own. Getting in/out of the canoe is much less embarrassing. I love it at MF and highly recommend meeting Bill and his team and giving it a try.

I owe a bit of gratitude to Bill and his crew at Motivate Fitness. They took the time to listen, assess and prescribe the best path to health I needed. I felt instant relief in knowing I was in the right place and the perfect hands. I was definitely over training and under fuelling my body. With some small changes in my workouts I saw some great changes in strength, flexibility, body comp and overall confidence of well being. I do not know the reason but I feel taller when I finish my workouts with Bill and his crew. Motivate Fitness hits on every one of my fitness needs and goals. I look forward to each and every workout. Cannot wait until the next one. Thank you Bill and Motivate Fitness. You are a life saver.

I started at Motivate Fitness to get stronger, healthier and faster in my golf swing. Bill, Tim and Jacob do an amazing job! What I like the most is how they hold me accountable and Motivate me to work as hard as I can to reach my goals. They set the goals and provide an atmosphere that makes me want to go to the gym and spend time with them as they share the same passion towards my improvement as I do. This really helps me stay focused and I am seeing a major improvement after 3 weeks.
