Personal Trainer in Auburn, WA vs. a Business Coach

  
  
  

michael hartzell thinking about personal trainerThe water looks great but thoughts wandered to having a personal trainer as I prepare to get on the bandwagon of the Biggest Loser VI Competition at Vision Quest in Auburn, WA.  It becomes obvious that achieving the desired success for weight loss is hardly different from success in marketing a business. 

Last year I said I would lose 50 pounds and only lost 20.  I failed.  It may be time for you to take it up a notch?  Do what I did, find someone in need to buddy up with. 

It appears the personal trainer is not so far fry from a business coach as they make a list:

  • Vision
  • Mantra
  • Goals / Targets
  • Preparation
  • Planning
  • Support system in place?

These are a few of the steps necessary to transform from the old to the new.

Each day time has been blocked on my big loser calendar with training and workout as top priority.  I will keep it up to date it will remain here on the website so that anyone (and you) who is interested can follow along.

Want to join me?  Feel free.  Here is the Biggest Loser VI Workout Schedule which includes workout times with a personal trainer and without.  You can corner me and ask about inbound marketing.  

Already as I speak with the personal trainer, it is again a testimony to systems, processes and coaching.  We want to know it all but in the end, we all need a little help.  Vision Quest Sports and Fitness in Auburn, WA will be giving me the help I need. Fortunately for me?  The owners are champions and Vision Quest is an award winning facility which means they know how to be the best.

Why blog & write about it?  Because "Knowledge Empowers so Learn & Teach” ™ remains my daily mantra.

If I can learn and share and one other person can benefit?  Then it's all good.  They say America is overweight.  They say that it is killing people and causing more illness.  I have had my fair share of bumps and would not want wish that on anyone.  By putting myself out there, I hope to make it real, lose big and say "If I can do it, I am sure you will do even better!" and you can then change your life.

So, join me if you want or watch from afar.  I weigh in every 2 weeks.  There will be videos, thoughts, bits and pieces from the certified trainers at Vision Quest. I will keep the tally on the left and you can see the progress (don't laugh if I go backwards temporarily!)

When you watch the Biggest Loser on TV, there are tears and hardships.  Most are trying to do what appears impossible.  I am fortunate and the Vision Quest personal trainers in Auburn have promised to make it "fast, easy, fun".  I like this kind of talk!

Want to be a loser with me?  Comment is below.  Or Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn are other options.  It's time for more transformation.  (and maybe win a prize)

I don't want to pour a milkshake on your goals, plans, or initiative, but fifty pounds is 2-1/2% of a ton! And that's nothing to spill your candy-coated-beans about. 
 
 
 
We all like the idea of fast, easy and fun. It sure beats slow, hard, and miserable. In our instant gratification society, we want what we want, now. Let’s make no buffalo bones about it. 
 
 
 
We also want things to be easy,peasy, lemon squeasy because, let’s face it, there are enough other things in our lives that are hard. Just think how much effort is required when you over-freeze the ice cream. You could bend one of grandma’s spoons. And anyway, only a masochist would deliberately make life more difficult than it already is, right? 
 
 
 
Fun is a bit more complicated. Some people inflict pain on themselves, or ask others to do it for them (e.g. using a personal trainer to help you lose weight) because they enjoy it, or so they say. And the more they enjoy it, the more they pay. From behind this Godfather’s pizza, where I’m sitting - It’s sort of the novelle cuisine of exercise where less is more. 
 
 
 
You have to wonder why if anything was fast, easy and fun that they’d have to tell you it was so. I mean, don’t you think everyone would be doing it if that was the case? Methinks he protests too much! 
 
 
 
Anyway, Mike, my best wishes to you. I’d send myself in the fax machine to cheer you on, but I don’t think I’d fit.

Dr. Bruce Hoag,  
 
Ah! You have me to thank! I will test the system know personally as it its fast, easy, fun! Since I don't want to jinx it, will not say anything one way or another. Your words warm my Iliac Crest. :)  
 
So appreciate that you shared! @michaelhartzell 
 
We don't use fax anymore. Just compress and send by email. :)

Statistical changes expected but patience is needed as I persevere with perspiration. :)

You know the old saying: 1% inspiration (a.k.a. what could I possibly have been thinking?!) and 99% perspiration.

HAPPY SPRING!! 
 
First things first - I am truly tickled I found your incredibly valuable website, Michael. And to top it off, you're blogging about your fitness progress through what seems to be an excellent regime.  
 
I am inspired...and in need of an overhaul myself. 
 
Mind if I accompany you on this journey? I feel that today is the first day of the rest of my life. 
 
Looking forward to the friendship,

(1st day of SPRING here in Seattle <gorgeous day too!!> and READY to take the challenge to become a healthier person on my road to succeeding in many areas of my life.)

Chef Kayte, 
 
That is exactly what it takes. Making today the day you say: "From now on I will". It is about the future thus eliminates the criticism of the past. It is about forward progress and drawing a line in the sand. It is about flipping the switch in the head that says: "better" vs. "worse". 
 
Congrats. Thank you for your awesome remarks and be sure to keep me posted as to your progress!
