Fitness Communication
Good day, J-Stans! J-Stans? If you follow or read my work, that’s what your collective name is, lol. That’s not what this article is about though. This is more so a continuation of my Fitness Etiquette entry a few weeks ago. I googled ‘fitness communication’ this morning thinking not a lot would pop up, boy…

Take your workouts outdoors this summer!
It’s April, which means summer is almost here. That being said, it’s time to get the hell out…outside that is! If you’re anything like me, working out in the gym all the time gets stale and stagnant. You want a breath of fresh air instead of the musty smell of the gym equipment? Well, it’s…

Playing Your Cards….
Hello friends! Since beginning this blog a few weeks ago it occurred to me, “Do the people who read my articles and such know WHO I really am?” Of course not because I really haven’t introduced myself in a formal way to y’all. I’m a bit of a storyteller if you haven’t noticed and my…

For starters, the title ‘Health Coach’ sounds like a catch-all term, blending together fitness and medicine when it is so much different than that. It also sounds like a…

Prepare it yourself!
Do you find yourself scrambling every morning before you get out the door for your morning commute for something to eat for your lunch? Is it even healthy or just fast food that’s full of grease? Taking a day out of your week to meal prep is a huge time-saver, it allows your to think…

It’s not something you can teach…..
In today’s world we are completely self-obsessed with our phones, social media and getting those likes for ‘the gram’. It may seem like an innocent thing except for when you are using those platforms for blackmail, outing someone or even more worse things. I work inside a gym, eight hours a day, forty hours a…

Self-Care is important!
You know what’s great about self-care? You are finally putting yourself first, which is what we all should be doing from time to time! Think about it, if you aren’t right physically, emotionally or mentally, you’re of no use to anybody else. Men pretend all the time that they’re okay or that ‘they got this’…

Distorted Body Images
This really is where everybody’s fitness story starts, I know mine did. Everyone starts working out for a multitude of reasons but one of the main reasons is they don’t like what they see when they look in the mirror. Isn’t that sad? We should be happier with ourselves than we are because, in actuality,…
