Mother's Day in Coppell - Boot Camp Style

The Best Coppell Boot Camp for Women & Dallas Fat Loss Personal Trainer Presents....

Mother's Day Weekend Nutrition & Fitness Advice for Weight Loss


So what are you doing this Mother's Day weekend? Mother's Day lunches, brunches, and goodies? Remember you get 1 cheat meal PER DAY on the weekend so spend it wisely! Let's talk about how to enjoy your cheat meal without sabotaging your weight loss and fitness goals.

CHEAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL....
If you've ever wondered if I have any "secret" to staying fit and lean looking while indulging in treats, I'll let the cat out the bag. I do have a "secret". Even when I'm on a "lean out" program to lose weight and get into bikini shape for the summer, I enjoy ice cream and chocolate just like my friends but I've learned how to work them into my program and practice a bit of "damage control" so that my indulgences don't rest on my hips, thighs and belly. So now I'm going to share my "secret" but it may not be what you expect.

Here's what I DO NOT use to stay lean even when I decided to enjoy chocolate, pizza, burgers, etc

TOP 5 TREAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL MISTAKES...

* Carb Blocker Pills

* Fat Blocker Pills

Both of these have some pretty nasty gastrointestinal side effects. I'll spare you the details! :-)

*Fat Burning Pills

You won't burn away the calories from your treat meal but you will be speeding through the day and possibly dizzy and light-headed.

*Starvation Before & After

You know the deal. You barely eat all day to "save the calories" for your cheat meal. If you are a Fit Clubber then you know from listening to your boot camp nutrition audio exactly why this approach makes no sense and will only backfire on you. It's just as ineffective to "starve away" the cheat meal the next day.

*Cardio Confessional

Forget about "burning it off" after with hours of cardio. I know so many people who eat like crap on the weekend- all weekend and then log ridiculous amounts of time on the treadmill, trails, or elliptical on Monday to BURN IT OFF. It's like Monday punishment for an indulgent weekend. You know the deal. I was bad this weekend SO let me pick up 2 magazines and hit the cardio machine and cardio until I can't anymore to BURN THOSE CALORIES OFF.

I could write a whole article on the science behind why that DOESN'T work and why those people are more likely to end up bigger and less fit over time but again I'll spare you the details.... You're reading this article so you are among the lucky individuals that will know better than to do this.
Come back to the blog tomorrow and learn how to do CHEAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL THE RIGHT WAY!

Coppell Fitness Boot Camp Money Back Guarantee - Avoid Boot Camp Scams

Coppell Premier Fitness Boot Camp for Women Presents...
How to Avoid a Boot Camp Scams
10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach
Question #10: Is there a money back gurantee for the boot camp program?
The final question is whether or not your potential boot camp trainer is willing to put her money where her mouth is and offer you a guarantee of results. Has your boot camp trainer ensured you that you will be part of a reasonably sized group led by a qualified professional with a clear training philosophy that makes sense to you? Has she told you that her clients stay in the boot camp program an average of 3 months and enjoy a comprehensive nutrition plan and other accountability measures all at a reasonable price? Does your trainer walk the walk and offer herself as a living example of the fitness lifestyle? If so, then she should be confident enough in her program and coaching skills to offer some type of guarantee of results for her boot camp program. There is the absolute and the conditional guarantee. Maybe your trainer offers an absolute money back guarantee. Even if you sign up and show up for only 1 out of 4 weeks and then get to the end and decide that you weren’t satisfied, you’ll get your money back. These types of guarantees aren’t very common but they do exist. One downfall of this type of guarantee is that you are not incentivized in any way to keep up your end of the bargain. There’s no sense of “I need to work hard because I’ve already paid”. You can simply talk yourself out of working toward your goal, get a refund and continue to fight the battle of the bulge alone. The other type of guarantee is the conditional guarantee. There can be a number of conditions but the most popular type is if you join the boot camp program, show up to class and give a good effort, follow the nutrition plan as evidenced by your food journal and the weekly improvements and don’t lose weight, inches, and body fat, you get your money back. In my opinion, this type of guarantee is best for a boot camp program focused on helping participants lose weight and create body transformation. The client is incentivized to show up, put forth effort, and actively engage in adapting the nutrition habits that will produce the fat loss results that she was seeking when she joined. Simply quitting isn’t an option because if she just gives up, she will have waisted her investment. The trainer is also incentivized to pay attention to each client during class, ensure that she has proper form, push her to work at the appropriate intenstiy required to attain body shaping results, hold her accountable for her nutriton habits, and provide valuable feedback so that the client can achieve the results she desires. Failing to effectively help the client reach her fat loss goals results in loss of revenue for the boot camp coach. Is your potential coach committed to working hard for you AFTER she has collected your registration fee? You’ll know by her willingness to offer a guarantee.

As the Fit Club coach, I offer a conditional money back guarantee for my boot camp program. I put forth great effort to ensure that I'm recruiting women who are serious about weight loss into my boot camp program and then I put forth just as much effort to help boot camp participants get the weight loss results they are seeking.

Each potential boot camp member enjoys 1 FREE week of my boot camp program. This 1-week free trial gives the potential boot camp participant great insight into how much effort is required to lose weight. After the first week, potential members who are invited to become full members are guaranteed that they will lose weight and inches by continuing to follow the boot camp program or they get their money back. That’s just how committed I am to helping my boot camp clients get results!

How to Avoid a Boot Camp Scams

10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach


Question #9: Is the boot camp trainer in great shape?
This may seem like a shallow question to ask or observation to make. After all no one likes to be scrutinized or discriminated against but if you are paying someone to guide you to greater health and fitness, shouldn’t they at least be fit? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting that a boot camp coach should be mean, lean, and ripped to shreds year round but their body and performance should be evidence of their fitness lifestyle. If your potential coach is chunky more often than not, gets winded while giving exercise instructions or demos, and routinely avoids extra movement or activity, you should question their ability to inspire and educate you on what it takes to achieve a body transformation and get in great shape. Conversely, I’m not suggesting that any buff guy or lean lady is a qualified coach. Remember our discussions on training certifications and training philosophy. I realize also that some coaches may have great bodies that are due largely to awesome genetics and not fitness education, fitness discipline, or good nutrition. You can observe visually the type of shape your potential coach is in. Take advantage of a free trial class and observe their energy levels and performance during class. If they are stick thin but can’t remain energetic for a complete class then maybe low calorie dieting or excessive partying have produced what appears to be a great shape. Finally casually ask your trainer what types of training or sports they personally enjoy best and whether or not they compete in any sport. The observations you make and the answers to the preferred activities question can give you immediate insight into the coach’s true dedication to the fitness lifestyle required to produce a lasting body transformation.

As a boot camp trainer and fitness coach, I take my roll as a fitness mentor extremely seriously. Although I have experienced being overweight and can identify closely with my weight loss clients, I keep a close watch on my own physique and level of conditioning. I believe it’s important for the trainer to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. I’ve found that leading people to fitness by example is way more powerful than pointing the way while standing on the sidelines. My clients love it when I share a new, great tasting, healthy concoction that I’ve created to overcome a junk food craving. I share my own personal motivation tricks and tips with my clients and even admit moments of weakness so that they can see first hand that it is possible to overcome the bondage of food confusion and exercise gimmicks to live in a lean, energetic body year round. My personal training preferences are various methods of extreme training. I love an adrenaline rush so my workouts mainly consist of high intesity resistance training, running and cycling sprints, plyometrics (jump training), stadium workouts, and outdoor obstacle course work. Lately, I’ve incorporated more yoga to improve balance in my program between high rush adrenaline activity and activity that increases my sense of calm and awareness. I follow a sensible clean eating nutrition program that consists of lean proteins, whole grains, produce, lean dairy, healthy fats, and occassional “planned indulgences”. In addition, I drink about 1 gallon of water per day to battle the “false hunger signals” and to maintain high energy levels, and healthy skin. Don’t get me wrong, I like pizza, cake, and brownies just like the next woman but I know that I feel my best when I save those foods for my “planned indulgences” and teach my clients to do the same to successfully lose fat and transform their bodies without feeling deprived.

Coppell Weight Loss Boot Camp Cost - How to Avoid Boot Camp Scams

Coppell Premier Fitness Boot Camp for Women Presents...
How to Avoid a Boot Camp Scams
10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach
Question #8: What is the cost of the program?
The cost of the program is more than the registration fee. It is important to consider what equipement you are expected to have or bring and what will be provided by your boot camp coach. It’s also important to consider the cost of sound nutrition support if your potential boot camp trainer does not offer a solid nutrition component as part of the boot camp program. If an apparantely low cost boot camp costs $100 per month but you are required to bring your mat, weights, and any special equipment that is needed for the workout, the cost can really be $125 - $250 depending on the special equipment required. If you are responsible for securing your own nutrition coaching then you can expect to spend an additional $50 - $200 per month to secure quality help. This apparantely low cost boot camp can require an investment of up to $300 per month to attain everything necessary to ensure your weight loss results. Make sure you understand the total amount you need to invest before signing up.

Participation in a 4-week session of Great Shape Fit Club is $260 per month. Each participant needs a mat and a pair of dumbells that can be purchased for about $20 and used for each session. For a limited time, I am running a "Human Billboard Campaign". I’m looking to help 20 new boot camp members achieve significant body transformations I’m reducing the monthly investment to $195 per 4-week session for those women who are seriously seeking a body tranformation that is “billboard worthy”. Since I bring any special equipment that we use beyond the mat and dumbbells and provide each participant with nutrition coaching, there is no hidden cost for my boot camp program. In addition, my boot camp members receive free admission for themselves and 1 guest to any fitness and nutrition seminar that I offer during their time in boot camp. There is truly nothing else for them to buy after they sign up. In seeking out a boot camp program, be sure to ask your potential coach about equipment you are required to bring and the level of nutriton coaching provided so that you can be prepared upfront for the true total investment required to participate in the program.

Coppell Fitness Boot Camp Accountability - Avoid Boot Camp Scams in North Texas

Coppell Premier Fitness Boot Camp for Women Presents...
How to Avoid a Boot Camp Scams
10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach

Question #7: What accountability measures are part of the program?
No matter how good a program is, you will not experience results if you are not held accountable to following the program. At some boot camp programs, after you sign up, you either show up or you don’t. Your coach may do very little to find out why you weren’t in class or to encourage you to return to class if you have been absent. In addition, some programs offer a 1 hour nutrition seminar at the start of the session and you either follow the program or you don’t. Many times the seminar is designed by a qualified professional but delivered by the boot camp coach or an outside nutrition professional, who is not a part of the program nor works on an ongoing basis with the participants but is only contracted for the seminar. When this happens, there is often little effort to hold you accountable on a weekly basis to your adherence to the program and/or no support when you have questions or need to troubleshoot a plateau in your weight loss progress.

As the Fit Club coach, I hold every woman accountable for showing up to class daily. If there is an unexcused absence, my clients know and expect that I’ll be calling to find out if they are safe, why they missed class, and to suggest what exercise they can do that day to make up for their missed session. Because of my qualification to coach healthy individuals on nutrition changes that support weight loss, my clients are held accountable weekly to following the nutrition plan and given the support needed to troubleshoot any stall in weight loss. I partner with alocal nutritionist and dietician so that my clients with metabolic disorders or other problems beyond my scope of practice have a qualified resource to lead them through the nutrition changes necessary to see results.

It has been shown in numerous studies that accountability and social support could be the biggest factor in weight loss success so make sure that your prospective boot camp program is designed with measure to keep you accountable.

10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach

Question #6: Is there a nutrition program included?

This one can be a touchy subject because there are some trainers that believe that trainers should not discuss nutrition but solely exercise. There are others that will give detailed nutrition information with slim qualifications – such as having successfully dieted their own excess weight away. Still there are those that erroneously believe that as long as their clients aren’t overindulging in fried foods, cakes, and pies, that they can simply help them sweat away the pounds with hard core exercise regimens. All of these scenarios present a huge problem for you the potential boot camp client.

First of all, proper nutritin accounts for 80% of the success equation when it comes to weight loss, body shaping, and body transformation. If your trainer is providing very little in the way of nutrition guidance, you may get fitter, faster, and stronger but your chances of getting slimmer, smaller, and tighter are very slim. YOU CAN NOT OUT TRAIN A POOR NUTRITION PLAN.

On the other hand, not every trainer is qualified to coach clients on proper nutrition habits beyond handing out information that comes from a qualified source. If your trainer is uneducated in nutrition for weight loss, they should be partnering with a nutritionist or dietician that they can refer to ensure that you are getting the proper nutrition support to see fat loss results.

Each participant in Great Shape Fit Club receives Eating for Great Shape – The Metabolism Makeover Program. This is a simple and effective nutrition re-education program that includes nutrition, grocery shopping, and dining out guidelines, sample meal plans, fast foods best picks lists, delicious and nutritionally supportive recipes, and an innovative food journal tool that serves as a nutrition coach. In addition the program includes, 3 nutrition audios that highlight the critical information in the nutrition, grocery shopping, and dining out guidelines. Finally each participant’s food journal is reviewed by me on a weekly basis. I provide feedback that helps each participant identify and change their current nutrition pitfalls that have the potential to sabotage their weight loss efforts. My program was created based on nutrition education I received through my NSCA certification, independent research, and my affiliation with the Precision Nutrition program that was created by Dr. John Berardi with the University of Texas.

How to Avoid a Boot Camp Scams
10 Questions to Ask Your Prospective Boot Camp Coach

Question #5: On average, how long do participants stay in the program?
This falls under the category of questions for which you may wonder, “who cares”. Well there is a reason that you should care about how long the average participation in your potential boot camp program stays. A transformation of 15-30 pounds can take approximately 3 months while more transformations that require more weight loss may take 6 months to a year. If you are looking for a boot camp program that specializes in body transformations, the average boot camper should be staying at least 3 months. Of course, there are people who may transform faster or just do a month or two to jump start their fitness programs but if the average participation is only 1-2 months, that could be a warning sign. Short stays could indicate a program that doesn’t deliver results, a program that has poor customer service, or a program that really isnt’ geared toward women who are there to reach a body transformation goal. Your best chance for success is to be in a program that delivers body transformation results while being surrounded regularly by other women who are on the same mission as you are. Working out side by side with women who are tranforming their bodies just like you is one of the best forms of inspiration you can possibly have and inspiration is key to getting and staying motivated to achiever your goal.

On average, members of my Great Shape Fit Club Coppell boot camp program stay in the program for 3 months. Of course there are those who have been there for 6 months and more because they absolutely love their results and the accountability of having established exercise appointments. In addition there are those that stay for a month or two and then leave for a while to implement what they’ve learned on their own- many of those participants return after a brief hiatus for more inspiration and results. In general, the Fit Club ladies stick around or come back for more!
