"Lose 15 lbs in 6 weeks!!......"

We'd be lying if we said we didn't try this once.

While it went against our core values we really thought that it would help people get off the couch and into the gym where we could deliver some results quick... and then ideally they would stick around as we coached them up for long term success.

It was largely a flop in this regard. Most people sprinted for 3-6 weeks and then we never saw them again.

Longer term goals. How to set them and why those who do come out on top is the focus of todays episode.

What's all this about the Habit Tracker?

You'll def want to take some notes on this episode!

One person said " Strength training made me gain weight" Another "Strength training made me lose weight!"

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the current state of fitness and health in America. The statistics are alarming—only 23% of U.S. adults meet the recommended guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity, while nearly 80% fail to get enough exercise. The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and two days of muscle-strengthening activities per week, yet most Americans fall short.

We discuss why this is happening, the consequences of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and most importantly, what can be done to change the trend. At Pratt Personal Training, we’re on a mission to help people take control of their health through structured, effective fitness programs designed to fit any lifestyle. We share how our training approach is making a difference in our community and helping individuals reclaim their strength, energy, and well-being.

Tune in to learn about the real state of fitness in America and how you can take steps to improve your health today!
