Often times when an injury occurs, the situation that led to the injury has been building for months or years, but there is usually a specific incident that becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back.

It would be easy to blame that specific incident for the injury; that last pull up or deadlift, awkwardly trying to pick up your child, or trying to sprint too hard in a pick up basketball game.

In order to reverse pain and injuries though, we need to understand that the incident that caused the injury is likely a symptom of many underlying and unaddressed issues.

Rest and surgery can be part of the recovery process, but if we don't address the root cause of the injury, then we are likely to end up recreating a similar injury again.

In today's podcast, Coach Jack and Coach Andrew discuss why injuries happen and the key principles that you need to understand to resolve your pain issues for good.

On Saturday, June 18th, they will be running a pain-free lower body seminar at the gym, to help clients who suffer from knee, ankle, achilles, or shin splint issues.

This episode revolves around creating a long term and sustainable focus around your health.

You often hear about having an investment mindset from a financial standpoint, but how does that apply to your health? So many times in life we treat everything like a trade off. I do ’this’ so I expect ‘that’. I pay ’this much’, so I expect ‘that much’ in return.

In this episode we’ll discuss how to set yourself up to see results that are greater than you could ever imagine.

As a fitness facility, nutrition is often at the forefront of what we discuss and what we do. 

It's common to hear the phrase, "everything in moderation" when discussing nutrition. However, most people don’t actually understand what moderation looks like. If we actually broke down the volume or macros of what they were consuming, it’s a much larger portion of their total calories/intake. We might think a Starbucks drink and a cookie is moderation, not realizing we just consumed nearly 1000 calories. 

Usually when people are using the phrase everything in moderation, its used as a justification for eating unhealthy foods more than they should. (fried foods, fast food, sweets, alcohol, chips, soda, etc)

Most people don’t have a strong enough foundation of eating real food, and therefore aren’t actually eating unhealthy “in moderation”.  That's why we believe it's important to strengthen your baseline first. 

In this episode of the FitTown Show, we discuss the pros and cons of “everything in moderation”, how to calibrate this phrase to serve you, not limit you, and what you need to know in order to effectively apply this advice.

Last week we had Brian Costello from 023 Holistic Systems come in to train our coaches on mastering the other 23 hours of your day when you aren’t working out.

We wanted to share what we learned with you all so you can take it into your own lives, as well as just simply reinforce the importance of how you live your life outside of that one hour you’re exercising.

In this episode, we’ll discuss the “Big Four” areas you can master your day. These areas are Food, Sleep, Movement and Mindset. For the full episode, click the link in our bio.

It’s a proven fact: The better sleep you get, the more energy you have. Quality sleep allows for more productivity, more happiness, and better overall performance.

In today’s episode, we’ll discuss our favorite ways to improve our sleep. We’ll talk about trackers we love, and how to sleep better regardless of whether or not you track it.

Recently we did the Deadly Duo, and we got feedback from some members saying it was one of the most difficult fitness challenges they’ve endured.

Our response: “Good!”

Mind you… there were no injuries. They weren’t “overdoing it”. They got through it, but it wasn’t easy. It was super challenging and out of their comfort zones. But the reward outweighed the risk.

Hard things build confidence. Hard things build strength, and resilience. It’s easy to keep yourself in the box of comfortability, but we believe you’re so much more than that.

In this episode of the FitTown Show, we’ll discuss why we love doing hard things, and why we’d love for you to join us in challenging yourself, both inside and outside the gym.

A few weeks ago, Coach Chris joined the FitTown staff.

We've known Chris and his wife, Stephanie for years and have watched them go from business owners, to newlyweds, to parents. They've traveled, moved, but somehow have always found their way back to the Jupiter area.

Last year, Chris and Steph finally made the permanent move back home, and Chris decided to pursue coaching. We're thrilled to have him on our team and as a member of this awesome community!

In this episode, we talk all things Coach Chris. He'll discuss his snowboarding and lacrosse careers, his family life, business life, and why he loves coaching. 

The fear of failure is something that looms over a lot of people, resulting in the choice to quit in order to overall avoid failing.

There’s obvious approaches to quitting, but there are also forms that aren’t as noticeable. This can include body language, self talk, or lack of effort.

In this episode of the FitTown Show, we discuss the difference between quitting and failing, and why we embrace failure over the choice to quit.

In today's episode of the FitTown Show we're formally introducing our newest member of the FitTown team! 

We've had a relationship with Josh Marunde for years, and he visited our gym annually for vacations and when he was in town for competitions. 

In this episode, we'll introduce Josh as he tells his story both professionally and personally. We're so excited to have Josh on the team, and can't wait for you all to get to know him! 

In today’s episode we will discuss 3 main types of breathing exercises that will help you in the long run.

One is going to really help you with cravings or anything related to short term anxiety. You’ll be able to use this tool anywhere and everywhere, so it’s great to have in your back pocket.

The second is a tool that we hope will help those of you who are interested in incorporating meditation into your lifestyle or routine. We’ve found this to be extremely powerful in our lives, and hope you’ll be able o get something out of it too.

The third type of breath work we’ll discuss is going to revolve more around your workouts, and specifically getting the most out of them.

We hope this discussion will help you improve both inside and outside the gym. If you have any questions, comments or feedback please don’t hesitate to reach out.
