The 8-week “Commit to GET FIT” Fitness Program is designed to do one thing…Get you into better shape in the fastest time possible. It is a comprehensive “turn-key” program that takes all of the guesswork out of getting into better shape. There are 4 components to your Get Fit Program which when used in combination will produce dramatic results.

PART 1- The Eating to Get Fit Nutrition Plan

Nutrition makes up 80% of the results you achieve on any fitness or weight loss program. The primary goal of the “Eating to Get Fit” plan is to stimulate your metabolism so that it works for you…not against you.

PART 2- Strength Training to Get Fit

Strength training has been shown to burn up to 10 times as many calories per hour as cardiovascular training. Strength training is also the only exercise that allows someone to actually shape his body as desired. The effectiveness of strength training makes this type of exercise the foundation of your Get Fit Program and it will be performed at least 2 hours per week and up to a maximum of 4 hours per week.

PART 3- Cardio to Get Fit

Cardiovascular training produces a healthy heart and is also a good way to burn extra fat on days when it is either not appropriate or not possible to perform your strength training. You will perform cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times per week at a level determined appropriate by your trainer to strengthen your heart and increase endurance.

PART 4- Supplementation to Get Fit

It is a fact that certain nutritional supplements may accelerate your progress during your 8-week Get Fit program. Although not a necessity, good quality protein powders may be used to assist someone who cannot eat meals at a certain time of day. Also a good multi-vitamin will ensure that your body has everything it needs to oxidize fat at the highest rate. These types of supplements have no harmful side effects and are proven safe and effective. The Get Fit program DOES NOT include or recommend any stimulant based fat burners such as ephedra or similar ingredients, and all supplement recommendations are made with your best interest at heart.

Combine all 4 Get Fit components together into a structured
8-week plan and the results begin when you do!

8 Week Get Fit Program Timeline

Your Initial Consultation
Your fitness consultation and assessment will be done the very first day of your program. This is where your trainer will gather all the information from you necessary to design your very own Get Fit fitness program. Most importantly, during your consultation your trainer will help you define in detail the goals that you want to accomplish over the next 8 weeks. Your trainer will ask you about your past health history, review your current eating plan, and will educate you in how to eat effectively to meet your new goals. During the consultation your trainer will also create a detailed nutrition plan for you to follow for the first few weeks of your program.

Your Assessment
After your initial consultation your trainer will conduct a body composition test, weigh you on the scale, and take body measurements to see exactly what your starting point is for the program. A “before” picture will be taken as well. It will be kept on file so you can visually compare your progress throughout the course of the program.

Afterward your trainer will perform an assessment on the gym floor. This is where your trainer will evaluate your strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning levels. While checking your form and technique doing some basic exercises, your trainer will begin to teach you the correct way to perform these exercises. Form and technique are very important not only to help prevent injury, but to also ensure that you are targeting the correct muscle while performing an exercise. Your trainer will also be assessing if you have any areas that may require improved flexibility, and if needed your trainer will incorporate measures to produce flexibility improvements into your program.

The First 2 Weeks
This is the time that your trainer will use to instruct and educate you in detail about proper form and technique when it comes to performing strength training. The intensity will be low since the main purpose is to teach you how to do the exercises correctly.

You will immediately begin the cardiovascular plan created by your trainer. Someone who is better conditioned will start at a higher level then someone who has not been exercising, but all will begin performing some cardio activity 3 times per week.

You will begin to follow your nutrition plan during this time and should bring up any issues you are having with your trainer. It is their job to help you figure out a better way if a part of the nutrition program isn’t working for you.

Body composition testing will be done at the end of week 2 to measure your progress up to this point.

Weeks 3 and 4
After making sure you are now performing the exercises correctly through weeks 1 and 2, your trainer will now slowly increase the intensity of exercise through adding either more weight or more sets. With these changes to your exercise program your body will begin to become more conditioned.

Your cardio program will also change these 2 weeks as you will increase your total calories burned per session.

Final tuning of your nutrition plan will be made to ensure maximum progress, although by this time you will already be very consistent with your eating. You will also bring in food logs to show your trainer before every workout.

The end of week four marks the halfway point of the program and another body composition test will be performed to make sure you are still on course towards reaching your goals. A second picture will be taken to document your progress as well.

Weeks 5 and 6
In week 5 your trainer will begin to add some different exercises into your program. Adding new exercises prevents your progress from hitting a plateau, plus it also gives you some new challenges and variety during your program.

Your cardio program will again increase in intensity during this time. Still using a 3 session a week cardio plan you will now increase your total calories burned during each session and/or begin interval training.

At this point your nutrition plan will likely stay the same until the end of your program, although your trainer will continue to make small adjustments if your progress is not dramatic.

Week 7 and 8
Pushing you through your final 2 weeks of the program your trainer will motivate you to finish strong. At this point you will be moving at full speed towards hitting your goal, or most likely will have already surpassed it! Your workouts will be extremely intense during your final push to the end of your program. Once the program is complete your trainer will retake all of your measurements as well as take final follow up photographs to fully document your progress on the program. Your trainer will also help you set new short-term and long-term goals and advise a plan to reach these new goals.
