We all know that today is Veteran's Day. To me, the lives of our military are some of the most inspiring stories we will ever read. I saw this on Sunday morning and had to share it with everyone. Amazing! Feel free to share you thoughts on the video or our veterans below.

After watching the success of some of our "seasoned" clients like Barb and Joe, we decided to pursue a group training class for the senior members of our community. Finally, after exploring several different options we have decided to partner with the Silver&Fit program.I am pleased to announce that beginning November 2, we will have our first Silver&Fit class. There will be two classes a week (

I wanted to share this with everyone for two reasons: 1) I'm extremely proud of my wife, Trinette, and the job she does this time of year. 2) I thought maybe some of you would like to be involved in this program.

This is my favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the nights are cooler, football is on all the time, it just doesn't get any better than this. But the fall season always reminds that change is impossible to avoid and not only that, it's usually a good thing.I was recently reading a study on the current and future trends in the fitness industry.

Wow, it's been a long time since my last blog post. I didn't realize so much time had passed and a lot has happened since then. Here's a a quick recap of what's been going on.1. On September 8, TTF celebrated it's 2 year anniversary!2. On October 2, my wife and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary!3. My wife and I found out that we are expecting our 3rd child!4.

In staying with our series, We're Training Who? I couldn't help but add Joe to list. Joe is turning 84 on Friday, August 14 and we are sending out a big Happy Birthday from all of us at Transformation Training and Fitness.Joe and his daughter (my aunt Jean) have been coming to TTF for quite sometime now. Jean has been recovering from foot surgery and Joe comes in to get "limbered" up. He has

In the last two posts you've seen quite a variety in clientele. We have some great "seasoned" citizens as well as some tremendous young athletes.In this installment, check out our boot camps in action and really take notice to the variety of people working out together.In this particular class the age range is from 18-68.There are men and women of all different fitness levels.A couple working

We've had a great week at Transformation T&F! We've met some really cool new people and as always watched our clients work their butts off (literally and figuratively) in our boot camps and private sessions. Have you ever watched 18 people cranking out a 30 seconds on/15 seconds off workout for 32 minutes? Talk about inspiring. Keep up the hard work!We've had a great response from a video and

We've had a lot of people ask me recently, who do you train? Is this program for me? Will I be able to do this?My usual answer is this, "Our training methods are for anybody. But not everybody can do it." It take someone special to do some of the things we'll ask you to do. It also takes someone special to dig deep and work as hard as you can during each circuit class. Fortunately, we've

This is our 100th post to the Get Fit Carlisle Blog. That's kind of cool so I thought we'd celebrate this milestone by talking about the success that our clients have been having the last few weeks. They've put in a lot of hard work and the results are showing!With most of our 6 weeks Challenge results in check out what happened. (I'm going to only use our clients' initials in order to protect

We've had the great privilege the last year to get to know Elaine Livas and her staff at Project Share. Elaine has been coming to our facility for physical therapy for over 6 months and just recently the rest of the staff join her 2 days a week for a little corporate wellness. They've been great to get to know.As you may know, Project Share has helped 1000's of families in need over the years

For years people have been following the advice that long, slow duration cardio is the best way to burn fat because it uses more calories from fat in our body. That's why in big mega gyms you see hundreds of pieces of cardio equipment with people slowly moving along each and every day. Unfortunately, science has disproved this myth years ago but people still continue to buy into it. But just

Over the last few weeks, I've had a great time training and getting to know Wil Braun. Wil is the captain of his ROTC at Rochester Institute of Technology. He's leaving July 1st for Airborne training at Fort Benning and will be back in August to keep training for the Ranger challenge coming up in October. Here's the cool thing about Wil.

Do you guys remember this clip from Saturday Morning cartoons?It's a classic. Takes me way back to my early days. But here's why I like it. I want everyone to ask themselves this question, "Conjuction junction, what's your function?"Seriously, what's your function?

The 6 week challenge is off to a fast start. We've lost over 20lbs as a group during the first week and with our next weigh in coming up tomorrow, we'll see what happens next.Not only is weight being lost, we've already seen some improvment in push-up and pull up strength. Everyone has been really dedicated to following the plan to double their push up and pull up total in 6 weeks. Just a

Lately I've come across a show called "The Deadliest Warrior" on TV. The show basically takes a look at all the warriors in history and stages hypothetical battles between these warriors. For example, a knight vs. a pirate or a gladiator vs. a ninja. It's actually a pretty violent show so I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.However, what's pretty cool about the show is looking at how fast,

We had a great time this weekend at our workout/breakfast combo. 21 friends and family members showed up to get a good workout and then eat a really good breakfast. Thanks to everyone for coming, bringing food and just being you! Everyday I'm thankful to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Stay tuned for the next "circuit buffet"Here's a quick clip of saturday's workout. Thanks again!

Our guys over at Carlisle had a great run this year. Advancing to the final 8 in the state should not go unrecognized. It's been great to get to know some of these guys and watch them play this year. Great job!You can check out the news clip below that aired on Saturday night! Hard work and dedication always pays off.

Today marks Day #1 of the Challenge. Over the next 6 weeks we will adding periodic updates as our clients (and myself) are seeing how much we can change before July 4th. Some may lose 10-20 lbs. Some may drop inches from their waist/hips etc. Others may double the amount of push-ups they can do or maybe perform their very first pull-up. There is no telling what will happen over the next 6

Don't let the fact that Circuit City went belly up a few months ago put a bad taste in your mouth for the word circuit. (I actually thought about contacting the former business to see if we could take their name considering the amount of fitness circuits we design for our clients every week.) Research has proven over and over again that circuit training produces maximum benefits in minimum time
