Fitness Coaching is much more than physical. As Americans we are obsessed with our appearance and paradoxically also with our food. Often we buy into get-thin-quick schemes to the detriment of our health. Unfortunately, 95% of all people who lose weight gain it back and more.
As a Fitness Coach I will help you develop long term fitness habits to achieve a healthy, realistic weight. My focus is on health and fitness, helping you attain a solid self-worth and live a vivacious life.
So whether you are interested in entering your first 5k run or you are ready to compete in an IronMan triathlon I can help you set realistic goals and keep you accountable to them.
What is holding you back from tackling your desired fitness level? Together, we will answer that question and develop action steps to overcome those barriers.
Consider my personal fitness transformation story:
In May of 2003, I weighed 246 pounds and had ballooned to a size 44 pants. In the past I participated in sports events and considered myself to be a recreational athlete. However, in my late 20s I allowed the strong demands of work, some minor injuries, and a long commute to let my weight skyrocket.
I was suffering from a poor self esteem, and couldn’t even run a half mile without getting winded. This was especially discouraging to me since at one time I completed a marathon.
There was a moment of truth when I purchased the pants above in order to speak at my grandfather’s funeral. It was then that I decided enough was enough. I resolved the foot injury, got a new job and started on the path to permanent weight loss. Now I have been able to successfully keep off 50 pounds and comfortably fit into size 36 pants.
In June of 2005 I was able to enter the worlds most challenging bike race. It is called Race Across America. In this two person event my partner and I traversed the United States in 9 days 14 hours. If it were not for my commitment and determination to change I would not have been able to accomplish this incredible feat.
The above pictures show the progression of my fitness. The first one, top left, shows me when I weighed 246 pounds. The second one shows me after I had initially lost all the weight. The third picture shows me in June of 2005 at the start of the Race Across America.
My goal in sharing my personal experience is that perhaps it will inspire someone else. If I can do it I know anyone can.
-----------------
My method is common sense and accountability. There is no healthy quick fix. I hope to inspire you to action and set up a system of accountability so that you will be successful in changing your life and fitness level. Go ahead and make a change today!
I can't wait to talk with you and help you get to the next level.
Sincerely,Matt Mason
