Changing My Blog Name
So I decided to change my blog name today. One, because after seeing it so much, I slowly realized I didn’t like “Marked 4 Fitness” due to it being a bit corny and having my name in it. And secondly, because this new name came so natural to me. I just asked myself what I wanted to rename it based on my views as a personal trainer, and from a ton of research these past few months, I realized something…
Gone are the days of a commercial gym. For $50/month, you get 3000 sq. ft. of expensive crap you’re never gonna touch. You have a gym staff who doesn’t give a damn what happens, what you look like before or after, or if you ever even show up, as long as you don’t sue them. And you have “personal trainers” who you see rotate every 3 months or so when they realize they’re working a sales job, not a professional offering a service.
And from a personal trainer’s standpoint (one that works in a private personal training studio), gone are the days that thinking a single-axis gym machine will do us any damn bit of good in the real world.
Gone are the days of thinking long hours of cardio is the best way to burn fat.
Gone are the days thinking high volume and low reps makes women look like bodybuilders.
Gone are the days thinking doing any amount of bicep curls will get your arms bigger than heavy deadlifts.
Gone are the days thinking crunches and situps builds six-packs.
And if you didn’t get it by now, all the above statements are false.
Basically, with the spread of information around through technology, we’re in a New Era of understanding how the human body works and how it functions in its most efficient state. This is information no gym brochure or gym sales rep will show you. Only a qualified, experienced, certified personal trainer.
Anyways, let me save all the good personal trainer gab for later posts.
Expect to see a lot more changes to this site in the next few weeks to months. I expect to get a bit more traffic soon, and to those of you just tuning in…Thank you…you’ve got a bit of reading to do.
