Becoming Reborn

Its been a wild ride and its only been just over 2 weeks since the gym industry was rocked by immediate shut down. There was no surprise that it seemed like the whole world came crashing down on that day. Especially for myself being a gym owner. The future was now completely uncertain. The week before the shut down Reborn recorded its highest ever numbers, we had our highest attendances with our member averaging over 4 sessions a week and you could just feel the energy bouncing off the walls EVERY SESSION. We were in a good place… no we were in a GREAT place. Reborn and I have always prided itself on its COMMUNITY. But there is no real way to measure how STRONG your community really is…. until now. This was the test of all test. Would our reborn Community be what we as trainers thought it was or was it all smoke and mirrors?

Environment.

I don't believe that just My motivation, will power or mental toughness is the reason to me being able to achieve some success in my life. I believe it is the environments I CHOOSE to associate myself with and even more so the environments I CHOOSE NOT to associate with. You want success, start with priming your environments.

The 3 Golden Rules: The fitness industry can often seem overcomplicated, or you often know what you need to do, but get stuck on how to do it. To make things simple, at Reborn we have the 3 Golden Rules that you can apply to living a healthy lifestyle. We keep it simple but we believe it is very effective...

1. ALWAYS TRAIN MONDAY...

2. NEVER MISS TWICE...

3. TRAIN 4 DAYS A WEEK...

Keep it simple...

It's so important to know when to train and when not to…

You develop this knowledge from a consistent workout regime. Slowly you build up a high tolerance for any intense or endurance based sessions.

Knowing your body is crucial to getting into a solid routine of training. Now I understand that not everyone is like me where they are so dependent on their physical activity for general health, productivity and happiness but if you are I hope these tips I made for myself can help you have a more consistent training regime and help you understand when to train and when to pull back on the reigns. My advice: Listen to your body but don't give in to the head noise. We all have the head noise of not wanting to train before some sessions (even me), but it's knowing when to listen to the BODY and not giving in to the HEAD NOISE....

These are just my thoughts and opinions on training; I do understand every BODY is different as what is easy for some may be difficult for others or vice versa. Go off your own knowledge of your body and if you don't have any, there is only one way to find out… start training...

Recently I read the book ATOMIC HABITS by James Clear and it rocked my socks. So much so that I have also done a Podcast with Isaac John from YKTR on his podcast platform "THE ICE PROJECT" to share our delight in how good the book is. This is just a short and sharp podcast about what I took away from it aswell as Ice. The reason we loved it is how simple and effective the tools in the book were. I loved how you could literally action the systems TODAY, right now. Why am I talking about a book? Well I think everyone needs to understand how beneficial setting good habits can be but also how detrimental bad habits can be. Im going to keep it simple with what I learned, what am I implementing and my 3 favourite quotes from the book.

I wrote this Blog about negativity and just came across again. I wanted to share a negative situation that happened in my gym and how it affected me. Being positive in life is the only way to truly get the most out of your life. Life is way too short to worried and consumed about the little negative things in your life. Negativity will consume you and your ability to excel in life but the worst part about having a negative mindset is that you attract people who also have the same mind frame. Surround yourself with POSITIVE people that bring value you to your life otherwise you'll constantly feel like you have an anchor tired to your ankle.

First of all what is an "AMRAP"?

AMRAP stands for "as many reps as possible" or "as many rounds as possible." It's a workout structure frequently used for conditioning that pushes your body to the max within a set period of time (anywhere from 3 minutes to 60 minutes). In this episode I talk to you about how you can get out as much as you can in life just like you should in a training session.

AMRAP mentality- You Get Out What You Put In.

With all the New year, New me post coming out I thought I would throw my 2 cents into how you can ACTUALLY Become Reborn in 2020… Before I get started, please Remember 2020 will be the exact same as 2019 if you don't get off your ass and put in the work.. Your words of "New Year, New me" mean nothing without the correct action behind it.. Actions ALWAYS speak louder then words… instagram captions and Facebook post.
