The Program

The 15 week "Body Evolution" Transformation program is designed to integrate education and empowerment with all the tools you need to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals.

It is a 36 session program in which the session breakdown is designed in such a way that allows people of any fitness level to comfortably adjust to their new exercise regimen.

We start clients 2 times per week for the first four weeks so that we can break the body in and get it use to exercise. This allows us to properly assess all limitations, capabilities, strengths, weakness, joint stability, etc.

We then bump up to three workouts per week increasing the intensity as the body allows. We have set guidelines to follow that are proven to work, however the pace and intensity at which we work is based on the clients fitness level.

So who is this for?
The program is for anyone looking for a physical change! It’s interesting, but in the first session people are usually apprehensive. Only 15 minutes into the first session, everyone comes to understand that the concepts we share work for everyone. You will learn how to boost metabolism, to build muscle, to shape muscle, to improve balance and coordination, and to burn fat. Participants learn how to adjust the way they eat, think, and move.

If your goal is muscle growth, you’ll understand how to get there. If your goal is to find greater ease in lifting your child, greater comfort in the daily tasks your body is challenged by, or improvement of your golf game, you'll completely understand how to facilitate ongoing and consistent progress. If the goal is to trim the waist or get rid of cellulite and body fat, you’ll fully understand how to get there.

The Body Evolution System has such a track record of proven results it is currently being utilized in gyms and fitness studios all over the country!

So what can you expect?
The first meeting is not an actual workout; it is an information gathering session. We need this session to properly build a program to meet each individual’s needs while maximizing results.

It will consist of:

1. Medical Intake: Before you begin any exercise routine it is important to perform an in depth medical history intake. If there are any conditions that may be affected by exercise in any way be sure to have their doctor sign a medical release before beginning the program.

2. Program Overview: When going through a body change program there is a process involved. In the beginning you must start slowly to break in. We are going to begin by taking you through Full Body workouts to prepare your body for the more isolated workouts that are yet to come. The first four weeks we will meet twice per week. The reason we only meet twice per week in the beginning are:

• Breaks the body in
• Prepares the joints for more isolated workouts
• Gives the clients a feeling of accomplishment “I can do this”
• Prevents injury

3. Measurements: The best way to view change is in the mirror and in the way your clothing fits. The obvious goal in taking your measurements is to monitor progress and change. But, most importantly, it keeps clients ACCOUNTABLE.

We monitor weight, body fat percentage, and measurements of the neck, chest, waist, hips, thighs, calf, upper arm and forearm. We also take your resting heart rate and blood pressure.

4. Creating The Warm Up:

First: the client must do a minimum of five minutes of low – moderate intensity cardio. This is to prepare and heat the body up for exercise, gradually increase heart rate, and make muscles more pliable.

Second: you will conduct a postural assessment/evaluation on you to create a pre workout postural stretching routine for you to follow. You see, resistive training essentially shortens and tightens muscle fibers. So if there are already short and tight muscle fibers present in the body that are putting you into bad posture, without proper stretching resistive training can make them worse. When postural defects are identified and a stretching routine is created the chances of those defects from worsening are prevented and in time will improve. Without it, what was a small dysfunction in posture will eventually get worse and worse causing muscle imbalances, joint pain, and increased strain on the skeletal system.

Third: is core stability training. When I talk to about core most people are thinking “six pack” or abs. There are deeper underlying muscle that need to be addressed that stabilize the body, prevent injury, protect the back, and help keep you in proper form. This muscle is called the transverse adbominus AKA TVA. No matter what you are doing the core is the first muscle to activate. If it didn’t we would have zero stabilization and surely get injured during any exercise. Normally the core subconsciously activates upon movement. When training it is important to take it to the next level and be sure to consciously activate your core and keep it tight throughout the entire movement of each and every exercise.

5. Buidling the Foundation: There are certain things that need to be covered and cannot be assumed is known by the client. Many clients even if they have worked out on their own for a long time still have this wrong; so we are sure to go through it with everyone. We teach you proper breathing, when to exhale (exertion) and when to inhale (relaxation). Educate you on three parts of every exercise and the difference between the positive, negative and isometric of every motion. Teach proper pace and body alignment. Test ranges of motion (Push, Pull, Squat). Identify limitations and start weight for workouts.

6. Discuss Nutrition: We have the best nutrtitional programs available; period. We use the nutritional software by The Apex Fitness Group. You fill out a client profile pack for us which tells us all the information we need to develop a perfect nutrition program for you to reach your goal. Whether it be fat loss or muscle gain these food plans work 100% of the time when followed. If you do not have access to this software alternatives will be recommended. The best part is you get to eat foods you enjoy. We never tell you you can't eat something you like...that would be unrealistic, lead to cravings and ruin the plan. We give you the foods you like, but with portion control. Our motto is EAT SMART NOT LESS!

From that point on we stick to our result proven system. The workouts last between 50-55 minutes and there is always an educational component. The greatest gift a fitness program can give you is a science based education on how the body works. That way when the program is over you can continue to get results...forever!

We constantly mix up the workouts with different types of training and the use of different equipment. One major key to success in exercise is variety. You have to mix it up to shock the body for maximum results. From machines to free weights to bands to stability balls, discs, plyo boxes, kettle bells, cable machines-you will use it all. And, more importantly you will be taught by a pro- so you will be comfortable and confident in your efforts.

In week 12 we begin dropping your workouts back down to twice per week and eventually finish week 15 with one session.

Weaning you off enables you to try your workouts on your own and come back to us with questions and concerns. This enables us to be sure that you are comfortable continuing with the same ethic and intensity as if we were right there with you.

Session 36, last session, is strictly a coaching session. It is an office visit geared to go over whatever you need help with the most. By this time you will have achieved incedible results. We will do all final measurements, go over the avoidance of fitness plateaus and get a testimonial from you to go on our ever growing wall of fame of success stories!

Yes- if your clients go through this program, they too will be a success. And, more importantly so will you!
