The FitTown Show

A few weeks ago, Coach Chris joined the FitTown staff. We've known Chris and his wife, Stephanie for years and have watched them go from business owners, to newlyweds, to parents. They've traveled, moved, but somehow have always found their way back to the Jupiter area. Last year, Chris and Steph finally made the permanent move back home, and Chris decided to pursue coaching. We're thrilled to hav...

The fear of failure is something that looms over a lot of people, resulting in the choice to quit in order to overall avoid failing. There’s obvious approaches to quitting, but there are also forms that aren’t as noticeable. This can include body language, self talk, or lack of effort. In this episode of the FitTown Show, we discuss the difference between quitting and failing, and why we embrace f...

We’ve come across a lot of situations with clients lately where they have these little nuances they’re questioning about their routine while ignoring the bigger basics. Getting caught up in the chase for perfection will get in the way of doing things that are enough to reach your goals. One thing we’ve seen a lot is “I heard XYZ is bad for me”. Usually the answer is “not as bad as you think”. It a...

After a month long FitTown Show hiatus, we’re back with our first episode in December! We’re adamant about reducing the risk of injury in classes as much as possible, and are big believers that prevention is the best tool. We’re also very grateful to have resources such as Zach Summers, DPT in our building to give us tips on how to best serve members who have had serious injuries or surgeries. Wit...

Here at FitTown we're big fans of the InBody machine as a tool to measure progress.  We often hear members, both new and old, express their frustrations with the number they see on the traditional scale.  But the number on the scale simply does not reflect what you're actually "made of".  In this episode Andrew sits down with Coach Mel and Coach Danielle to discuss why we use the In...

All successful people have had a coach at some point in their life. This could be an in person coach, a remote coach, or even informal coaches through books or podcasts. Believe it or not, though, we as coaches want to see you grow to the point that you don’t need us in order to be successful. In order to get to that point, you need to be capable of coaching yourself. Having a coach becomes a bonu...

Whether it’s related to work, family, weight loss or lifestyle, people usually think of what they’re going to add into their life when they want to achieve a goal.  This may include making time for the gym, grocery shopping, or meal prepping if your goal is related to health or nutrition. But adding things to your life means that other things will inevitably need to be eliminated. There is on...

Today we're bringing you Episode 2 of our All In Series! Last time we discussed how to maximize the 168 hours in a week, and today we're here to discuss how having strong WHY's can impact your transformation.  We've started asking every prospect who walks in our doors to write down their 5 why's.

"I'm not ready to transition because I can't do pull-ups" There are both leg...

When Dom joined us in July of 2020, he started with our 40 Days to Fit Program.

We didn't see him again until 6 months later, and in January 2021 Dom walked in with a fire under his feet, ready to make a huge change...

For the next 5 weeks, we're shifting our mindset focus to the word PLAY.  We've covered Confidence, Patience, and Perseverance so far, and we think PLAY is a good counterbalance to our previous focuses.
