Formosa Fitness

This is one of those head bangers you run into occassionally -- the idea that you should be able to do something BEFORE taking the class. A visitor to one of my classes said it looked very interesting but that she couldn't do what we were doing in the class. I took a mental sigh and tried to patiently explain that was exactly WHY she needed to take the class -- she could not do the stuff we were doing. She NEEDED to take the class in order to learn how to do it. None of my clients could do it before they took the class, either. It didn't sink in.

The main problem is the skill-less and equally worth-less workouts in mainstream gyms. Their idea is that you can somehow get fit without challenging yourself in any way. Weaknesses? What weaknesses? You don't have to challenge those weaknesses in a mainstream gym. Just hop on the treadmill and walk your way to fitness. Except it never works out that way, does it? Hmmm....wonder why? Shoulder hurts? Back aches? Haven't done a lunge to tie your shoe in ten years because you can't? That's okay, the pec deck and ab machine will fix all that. :)

The idea of learning something in fitness is still new but ironically enough, what we're talking about learning is natural movement -- what we had originally and lost as adults. Yes, it is THAT valuable.

But again, if you could do it on your own, you wouldn't need to come to class. You wouldn't need a trainer. If you could do it on your own, everyone would. But obviously that isn't the case.

It hurts me when I lose business like this because such people can't see the value in what I'm offering. And here's the real kicker: and these are exactly the people that need it most.

One of the most important insights I've gained recently is that I can't help everyone. Some potential client's mindsets won't allow it. But for anyone on the fence that is reading this, my services are specifically designed to get you what you can't get yourself. Make the call, take the class and start making progress.
