Hey Everyone!
Welcome to the Global Fitness Center Blog! We will be loading this page on a regular basis to let you know all about happenings at the clubs, new equipment and programs and what I am most excited about...training information! We will be posting all kinds of exercise information with workouts, exercise videos and member stories about the amazing successes our members have at Global Fitness Centers!
Please let us know if there is any type of information you would like to see more of or if you have any training questions you would like answered let us know on the contact us page.
It has been one of the busiest months I have encountered at the club in such a long time, it is unbelievable. So much has been going on including the celebration of our 20th year in business! It was mid-April of 1992 when we first took over a neglected health club filled with great members. At the time I was a member of the club in town for a short time on business. I was amazed at the friendliness of the members and when the opportunity to purchase the club came about, we jumped at the chance.
Through many years of hard work, a great staff and providing a welcoming atmosphere for members of all fitness levels, we have been able to expand into our current location and now have a club that is nationally known for our excellence in Group Fitness program and now the newest chapter of FIT-traxx and MAX-traxx which are now in more than a dozen clubs around the country with each one producing amazing results for their members.
In addition to celebrating our anniversary, we launched our Biggest Mover contest, where our members have a chance to win a 5 year membership just for working out or refering a friend family member or co-worker to Global. Brand new releases of all our amazing group fitness programs just launched and have been receiving rave reviews from members. More functional training in Group Power and challenging workouts for all the rest of our programs have really allowed members to step up their games.
FIT-traxx and MAX-traxx continue to grow by leaps and bounds and they continue to produce the quickest weight loss possible for participants. We have modified the workouts in FIT-traxx requiring even less time spent at the gym and provided more functionality to the movements. MAX-traxx participants felt the program was the best round of workouts yet!
The only thing that suffered in April was the Global Blog, which I apologize for. My goal is to create great articles and videos for you to get better results from your workouts. I would love to get YOUR IDEAS for articles so I can make a difference in your workouts. Just go to the contact page on the website and let me know what you have questions with and how we can help you get better workouts. Otherwise I have tons of ideas of my own. Timed sets and rest periods, bodyweight exercise technique, repitition ranges that produce the best results and much much more. Don't hesitate to send your questions and comments and DEFINITELY "like us" on Facebook!
It has been a few weeks since my last post so I do apologize about that! I hope everyone has been hugely successful in making all your New Year's fitness resolutions a reality! I also hope that my last post about creating SMART goals helped even a little bit.
As you may have seen the club is jam packed with tons of members who are trying to start the new year off positively by adding exercise into their lives and we give a hearty welcome to all! The toughest part is keeping that motivation going beyond January. It takes about 28 days to form a new habit and make it stick so we are about 3/4 of the way there if you have been going along unbroken in a 2 or 3-day per week program so you are almost there!
Some things to remember as you are moving along with your resolutions are to include strength training as a vital part of any weight loss program. Weight training will permanently raise your metabolism and do a whole host of other positive things like increased energy, lower blood sugar, increased bone strength and a ton more. If you are trying to lose weight and are only doing cardio work, you are missing an opportunity to DOUBLE your weight loss results by including strength training.
I am going to give you a New Year Freebie from our MAX-traxx program to add to your workout regimen that you don't need any equipment for other than a cheap watch with a countdown timer. It is call our "Dirty Dozen" workout and it will not only strengthen every muscle in your body, you will burn MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CALORIES in just a few minutes.
Here is the workout:
Set your timer for 2 minutes and it should repeat when it goes off starting a new round of 2 minutes. During each of the 2 minute rounds you will perform;
12 push-ups (knees can be up or down depending on your fitness level)
12 squat thrusts (no push-up in these)
12/12 plyo lunges (these can be dynamic lunges if necessary. 12/12 means 12 on each leg)
12 squats (these are non-weighted squats, heels stay down, chest stays up, hips drop to or below knee line)
You will perform 12 rounds of this for a total of 24 minutes of the workout. When the timer goes off, you will start over whether you have completed the workout or not. If you finish before the 2 minutes is completed, the remainder of the time is your rest period. If you don't make it to the squats at all, rest for the following round so you are refreshed. If you are new to working out, make each round 3 minutes and do only 6 rounds to begin.
If you don't know what a squat thrust is please check out this video link. Also when you are sending your legs back behind you, avoid letting your hips drop down by tightening your midsection. Otherwise you may find your lower back is a little sore. Here is the link:
You will be pretty sore the following day if you do this workout. Give it a try either at home or at Global Fitness. Let us know if you have any questions or need any help.
New Neighbors are now open!
Hop On In is a kid's party and activity center that is located right next to Global and is now open for business. They have certain parking spaces that can only be used if you are a customer of theirs. Please be respectful in not parking in their spaces.

Group Fitness "Spots"
Just a reminder that there are absolutely, positively no reserved "spots" in the group fitness room. Please do not save spots for your friends as you will be asked to leave the class if it prevents another member from take a class. Our Group Fitness Room is 6,000 square feet (the largest in New England) and there is plenty of room for everybody. Let's all get along and have a great time.

These special passes expire on FEBRUARY 1st so have your guest come in soon!
That's all for now! Let me know how you like the workout!
The holidays keep getting closer and I am thrilled at how busy the club still has been during the holiday season. I know how stressful getting everything done can be so exercise can very easily take a backseat to other priorities but it seems that many of our members are making health a top priority which is great. Just a few weeks off and we can set our health back and "undo" all the great things we have accomplished.
Speaking of all the great things we may or may not have accomplished for your health over the past year, it is time to start thinking about those New Year's Resolutions so it is the PERFECT time to review how to accomplish not just your goals for your health but all your goals in life and it all starts with getting SMART! I'm not talking about the television show but actually creating SMART goals for anything you wish to accomplish. All goals whether it is fitness, personal or financial need to have all the characteristics of being SMART. Let's review them all.
The "S" stands for Specific. You cannot simply say "I want to lose weight this year" or "I want to be fitter". You must come up with the specifics of what it is you wish to accomplish. Specific would be "I will lose 15 pounds" or "I will lose 8 inches around my waistline." These are specifics.
The "M" stands for "Measurable". When developing goals, pick actions that are measurable. So many people are terrified to know what their weight is currently or blood pressure or waist measurement. They know that it is "bad" but by not know how bad, it doesn't seem to be real if they don't know the actual number. What you must always remember that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. By not knowing where you are beginning, you will not be able to appreciate the journey. There will always be "bumps in the road" and "bad days" along the way. This is life and life is never perfect. If your weight goes in the wrong direction when you re-measure, figure out what might be going wrong and prevent it from happening in the future.
The "A" is for "Action Oriented". When creating SMART goals you must pick goals that you can participate in and directly affect the outcome. In other words, hope is not a strategy no matter what you wish to accomplish. Once you determine a goal that is specific and measurable, plan your action items that will make it come true. If you want to lose weight, you need to exercise and eat right. What will that look like in your life and what actions will you need to take to make it come true. Part of the obesity problem in the United States is that most people look only to their nutrition to try to improve their health. We always start with nutrition because we have to eat anyway so changing what we eat seems to be the simplest solution.
Although "you can't outrun a pizza", you will never achieve total fitness without exercise. It is like a stool with only two legs and a hundred other comparisons. Our bodies are designed for movement. If we are not challenging our muscles, ligaments, tendons, balance, etc, we become weaker. We lose about 1 or more pounds of muscle every year without exercise. That doesn't sound like much but that disappearing muscle reduces our resting metabolism meaning even if we don't overeat, our bodies can't burn as many calories as before as our muscle is lost meaning you can gain weight no matter how good you are eating if your body can't or doesn't need the extra calories.
Most diet-only weight loss programs result in the loss of mostly water and more importantly - muscle! This means that you will burn less calories per day after the diet than before. When you go back to eating "normally", your body doesn't burn as many calories and you can gain all the weight back AND MORE! Ouch!
Our "R" stands for "Realistic". When creating goals, it's not just the goal itself that needs to be realistic but also the action plan must be realistic. Any goal is achievable but at what cost? The biggest reason for failing at exercise is by creating a plan that is unrealistic. "I will exercise 6 days per week for 2 hours per day and I will lose 20 pounds" is a great goal. It is specific, measureable, action oriented and is realistic however is the plan to achieve it realistic if you have two kids, a job and a family? We must always find balance in life for everything. Spending too much time doing one thing takes away from all other things. Let's take a look at that goal again and refine it further in more realistic terms. "I will exercise 60 minutes 2-3 times per week and I will lose 10 pounds." This goal is much more achievable for most people. That goal will be achieved and a new goal for the other 10 pounds can be made.
The last item on our SMART checklist is "Time-based" for the "T". This is THE most lacking part of most people's goal-setting strategy and it will doom you to failure. You need to have a specific date planned to make your goal a reality. Without a time attached to a goal, it will most likely never be accomplished or it will never be a priority. I am a deadline kind of person. I do best when I must get something done by a certain time. The date will also make sure your goals are realistic. When planning weight-loss goals, pick seasonal changes to have a goal or what is just as effective, an upcoming special day or vacation or something along those terms. Some examples are "20 pounds by the first day of spring" or "10 inches off my waist by the first day of summer" or "Drop 3 dress sizes for the wedding on __________".
Now that we know what a SMART goal is, you must put it on paper. When a goal is written down, the likelihood of it becoming reality goes up DRAMATICALLY! Here are a couple of tips when writing your goals down.
Write them down in the present tense. "I weigh 120 pounds on June 1st after dropping x pounds."
Avoid the word "try" at all cost! "Trying" simply means failure and you are giving yourself an excuse not to succeed. Weight loss is a journey and every pound is success. If you only think of your end goal, you will forget the little accomplishments that go along with every goal.
Post your goal where you can see it all the tiime. I like to tell clients to post their goals in the bathroom where they brush their teeth. Guaranteed you will have to look at the goal twice per day and it should remotivate you every time.
If you don't reach the goal you wanted by the date you planned, no worries! Reassess your plan and see what got in the way and make adjustments. Make a new date and keep moving forward.
That's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the article and more importantly, I hope it helps you achieve everything you want in life. All of us here at Global Fitness are dedicated to helping you achieve all of your health and fitness goals. Let us know how we can help even more.
I hope everyone enjoyed part 1 of the Surviving Holiday Parties post. Here are the next six tips to help you not gain the weight that most Americans gain between Thanksgiving and New Year. I have noticed that the club has been extra busy so it seems that more people are sticking with their programs which as a trainer is great to see. On to the tips...
Tip #7 Train To Drain
Runners and bodybuilders have been doing it for years and it works to help offset a big day of eating. Change the way you train the day before a big event to help keep you lean. Your muscles need a substance called glycogen to move and exercise. By depleting your stores of glycogen a little more than usual the day before, your body will be looking for any type of carbohydrates to store and replenish glycogen. The best way to train to use up your glycogen stores would be higher volume weightlifting similar to Group Power or to do a circuit style weight training workout on the floor with high repetitions and short rest periods. An intense cardio session right after either of these types of workouts will burn glycogen even more effectively.
Tip #8 Eat it all but just less of it all
Sometimes those buffets just look to not have some of everything. One thing you can do in this case is to reduce your portion size. Grab a dessert sized plate instead of the full size dinner plate and you will automatically reduce your portion sizes. Just make sure you don't make up for the smaller portion size by making multiple trips through the buffet.
Tip #9 Green is Good!
Veggies, veggies and more veggies! When standing in the buffet line do two things. Scan the entire lay of the land before choosing any of your favorite stuff. Before you load up on the good stuff on the plate, put a bunch of veggies on it first leaving a little less room for the stuff that will make you fat.
Also veggies will have more fiber which will help you to digest the bad stuff a little more effectively and load you up with some much needed vitamins and mineral. Combine this tip with tip #1 about protein-rich food and you may find you aren't as hungry for the sweets.
Tip #10 One and Done!
Make a pact with yourself before the party that you will have some goodies but only one plateful only! Calorie intake is usually blown away on the second and third platefuls. Combine this tip with the dessert size plate tip above and you will really be ahead of the game at the party.
Tip #11 Make the Announcement
Here is one of the best tips I know of to help stay on your nutrition plan and that is to have everyone at the party help you from going back for seconds and thirds.
When you arrive at the party or sit down to eat, let everyone know what you have committed to. Say something like, "Hey everyone, all this food looks fantastic but I am on a mission to drop some weight. If you see me come back for seconds, please kick my butt back in gear."
People will respect you and help you out by not sticking food in your face all night long and it is a source of accountability for yourself.
Bonus Tip #12 Move, Move, Move!
At the end of the day, weight loss is a matter of taking in more calories than you burn off. Just two decades ago, a typical person took about 15,000 steps every single day. That number is now on average only 3,000 steps per day. More exercise during the holiday season will have a two pronged effect on your metabolism.
Say you decide to start doing double sessions a couple of times per week during the holiday season. The first benefit is the shock that your body will experience from your exercising differently. Your body starts to get used to your workouts especially if it consists of the same moves (classes, cardio, strength routine, etc) and by adding a second session, your metabolism will be increased just because it is different.
The second effect extra exercise will provide is much needed stress relief from this time of year. Exercise is the body's perfect solution to stress. Exercise will release endorphins that will help alliviate stress and make those long lines and parking lot issues a little easier to deal with. Try some interval training or find a hill in your neighborhood to challenge yourself. Walk around your office building instead of having a cup of coffee on your break. Use the stairs everywhere. The opportunities for activity are all around us. Just committ to being healthier.
Toy Drive Ends Soon!
Our Toys for Tots Drive has been a huge success so far! When you are out holiday shopping, don't forget to pick up something extra for the toy drive and get your chance to win a free one year membership! Also, if you know someone interested in joining the club, there is no start up fee with a donation of a new, unwrapped toy or they will get 4 months free added onto a prepaid membership. This offer absolutely ends on Monday, December 19th!
That's all for now. Happy Holidays from all of us at Global Fitness Center! Don't forget to "Like" us on Facebook so you can get all the up-to-the-minute holiday schedules and hours for both clubs.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday and took time to reflect on all that is good in your life. All of us at Global Fitness Centers are so thankful to our members for trusting us with your health. We all take that trust very seriously and strive every day to make our members healthier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
It's Party Time!
It's not just our big meal at Thanksgiving that we need to worry about this time of year. Our workouts are sabotaged by mixed up schedules and probably too many committments but that is the nature of the holiday season! Today's post is all about surviving the holiday party season and maybe even coming out of it leaner! Here are my tips for surviving holiday parties. The list is extensive so I will post half this week and half next week!
Tip #1 Where's The Beef?
When you arrive at the party, scope out the buffet before you are ready to eat. Your first choices should be protein-rich foods like beef, chicken, ham and shrimp coctail (hold the sauces please!). Protein-rich foods are more filling and may prevent you from eating too much high carb, sweets. Also protein-rich foods will aid in the release of the hormone, glucogon, which will help control blood sugar and offset the fat-storing effects of insulin which is released into your bloodstream with high-carb foods.
Tip #2 Don't Drink Your Way Fat
High calorie beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic do more to sabotage your waistline than almost anything else. Stick to water or diet beverages whenever possible even if you have to bring some with you..
Tip #3 Pour This First
As soon as you arrive at any party, make a point to pour yourself a large glass of water and drink it down. Wait 15 minutes before eating anything. Mingle, engage in conversation etc.
The water will make you feel surprisingly full and will keep you from over-indulging and is a great strategy at any gathering.
Tip #4 Take Control of the Buffet
Many of the gatherings this year may be pot-luck style where you are asked to bring a dish. The idea here is to be a little selfish when planning it. Prepare something that you like yourself and is of course healthy in nature. If you need ideas, simply look on line for recipe makeovers for your favorite dishes.
Tip #5 Fill Up Before
This is a classic nutrition tip that is still around and touted because it works! Just like they say not to grocery shop on an empty stomache, have a healthy meal or snack before heading to the party. Your portions will be less because you are just not as hungry.
Tip #6 Don't "Bank" Calories
Many people are guilty of starving themselves all day in hopes that they can eat what they want and still not exceed their daily calorie goal. This can backfire in a couple of ways.
By starving yourself all day, your body will lower your metabolism and you will have a lousy day because your starving. Since you haven't eaten, the tendancy is to binge on high calorie, high foods. Since your metabolism is already low, your body will process some of the food but store more than necessary as fat.
Those are your tips for this week. I will have more next Monday so don't forget to check back.

Training Tip of the Week - Use Timed Sets for Improved Results!
One of the simplest variable to incorporate into your
workouts but is rarely thought about is using time to your advantage. The two major methods of using time more
specifically in a workout is timing rest periods between sets in a workout and
secondly, to utilize timed sets in a workout. Both of these are extremely effective at varying workouts in
much different ways.
Today’s entry will deal with using timed sets in your
workouts. Most people that are new
to exercise along with many veterans are always asking, "How many repetitions
should I do of each exercise?” The
answer is that there is no perfect number of repetitions that will produce all
results you want. Low, moderate and high repetition training are all just as important in achieving total fitness.
Don’t Count At All!
Here is an idea that you can easily put into your workouts
starting today that can created huge changes and fitness benefits. Instead of counting repetitions, try
performing sets of exercises for a specific duration of time (30 seconds, 45
seconds, 60 seconds or more). Simply make a decision and perform sets that last that duration for a
few workouts. In other words, do 3
sets of push-ups that last 45 seconds each followed by 3 sets of lat pulldowns
that last 45 seconds followed by…you get the picture.
Notice in the above example I included a bodyweight exercise
along with a weighted exercise. Both types of exercise work well with timed sets. What weight do you use you ask? Whatever weight you want. A 45 second set is a fairly long set so
you will probably need a lighter weight but if you choose too heavy and must
stop, simply reduce the weight and keep going until your timer goes off. Another method is to do a few reps,
rest a couple of seconds, do a few more etc until time expires.
This type of training will allow you to work at a much
higher level as you are not counting repetitions. What will happen very quickly is that you will start to do
more reps with the same weight as your strength increases. Either way you will really shake up
your training by doing an entire workout based on timed sets.
Here is a complete total body workout using timed sets and
very little equipment. Each
exercise is done for 3 sets lasting 45 seconds each resting 45 seconds in
between each set. Try to minimize
resting during the sets.
Lat pulldowns (use a weight between 50-100 lbs depending on your fitness level)
Push Ups (As many
reps as possible for each 45 second set)
Dumbbell Lunges (bodyweight to 45 lbs, each leg 45 seconds)
Dumbbell Shoulder
Press (10-45 lbs depending on your fitness level)
Bench Dips (bodyweight only, as many reps as possible for each 45 second set)
Sit-ups (bodyweight only, as many reps as possible for each 45 second set)
Try this workout or insert any of your favorite exercises
into it. If you work hard during
the entire 45 seconds for all 3 sets, you will find that additional exercises
are not necessary. Remember that
more is not necessarily better when it comes to exercise.
That is all for now. Next week we will talk about varying the amount of rest in between sets
and its importance. Take care and
if you have any questions, ask one of our fitness experts at Global Fitness
Center!

FIT-traxx & MAX-traxx Demo Week all this week!
Lose 14 inches in 4 weeks like Lauren Cayer! Lauren did an amazing job as did all our FIT-traxx participants who got some of the most amazing results ever! The demos are filling up quickly for both programs and classes are also filling very quickly. Getting lean and fit prior to the holiday season will really help keep those pounds off from all those parties.
We just completed the first round of indoor MAX-traxx with its brand new format and the results were amazing for everyone including myself and the rest of our staff who participated. The workouts were intense but produced results every single week. We have a major portion of the first class repeating and we have added a 9:00 am timeslot on Tuesday/Thursday due to overwhelming demand. You must try it. Here is a photo of our MAX-traxx team. My apologies to the participants who couldn't make it on this day.
Both programs run for an extra week at no extra cost so now is the perfect time to sign up and get a little extra time with a trainer!
That is all for now. Stay tuned for some great training videos coming soon including
"10 Push Up variations to add to your workouts"
