Quit Returning To Your Fitness Vomit

Albert einstein is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

"As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly." Proverbs 26:11


I've used this passage before but it bears repeating, especially as we head into a new year.


I had a former client who always talked about wanting to lose weight. Fifteen plus years later she is still the same. In fact, she is worse off than ever.


The folly she repeats is super strict dieting with tons of cardio.


She had some initial success but ALWAYS ended up crashing and burning from this regimen. She hasn't learned. A program of barely eating and overexercising will never get you sustainable results. 


Yet she keeps trying to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. 


That is what we call INSANITY.


Here she is 15+ years later and ZERO RESULTS to show for this. But she continues to return to the vomit.


As the proverb says, it's foolish to keep doing the same thing over and over - when it consistently leads to a dead end.


You may be shaking your head, but think about it. Have you ever done the same thing each year expecting different results? Only to end up in the same place over and over again?


Quit returning to the same old "fitness vomit" of trying to "out cardio" and "out diet" bad habits.


This year can be different if you do something different and quit repeating your folly.


We have invested in a RADICALLY DIFFERENT program that has been producing hundreds of jaw dropping testimonies.


It's called the F.A.T. METHOD and I guarantee this approach is unlike anything you have ever done before. 


This program runs 8 weeks and starts today. We still have 3 spots left.


Here is what it includes:


  • Weekly nutrition modules with a progressive step by step plan week by week to dial in your nutrition
  • Weekly recorded zoom sessions with our nutrition coaches focusing on developing a mindset needed for long term success as well as EFFECTIVE TACTICS to implement to be successful with your nutrition and lifestyle. There will also be a Q and A session on these webinars.
  • Weekly check in calls with one of our nutrition coaches for accountability, problem solving and to work on your specific needs
  • A done for you 8-week exercise plan that allows you tighten and tone up your body with minimal equipment in your home or at the gym



If you find yourself struggling already in the new year, this would be a great option to get a SOLID program that actually works and is backed by science. 


Don't miss out! Click right here or the button below to grab one of the remaining spots.

THAT Was Then. This Is NOW

A new approach to menopause fitness, weight loss, and wellness for women in Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Elko New Market, Prior Lake, and Savage. Ladies… remember when a little extra cardio and cutting calories actually worked? Yeah… not so much anymore. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and it suddenly feels like your metabolism is broken — it’s not you. Your body has changed, and the old rules simply don’t apply. As a personal trainer and owner of a women-focused gym and health club serving Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Elko New Market, Prior Lake, and Savage, I’ve had countless conversations that start the same way: “I’m doing more and eating less… and nothing is happening.” Here’s why. Why Weight Loss Feels Different in Menopause During perimenopause and menopause, your hormones shift dramatically. Estrogen fluctuates. Progesterone drops. Cortisol becomes more impactful. Insulin sensitivity can change. And suddenly: The cardio that used to lean you out just exhausts you. Cutting calories leaves you tired, cranky, and stalled. Belly weight appears out of nowhere. Recovery takes longer. Sleep feels disrupted. When you double down on more cardio and fewer calories, you often overstress an already stressed system. Elevated cortisol can increase inflammation and encourage the body to hold onto fat — especially around the midsection. “Calories in, calories out” is no longer the full story. Hormones matter. And your hormones are different now than they were then. The Good News: There Is a Better Way 🔥 Menopause fitness isn’t about punishing your body. It’s about supporting it. The right strategy in this season of life often includes: Strength training to protect muscle and metabolism Smart conditioning instead of endless cardio Nourishment that stabilizes blood sugar Recovery practices that lower stress Community and group fitness for accountability and support This is why our approach at our gym is rooted in total wellness — not extremes. Women from Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Elko New Market, Prior Lake, and Savage come to us not just for weight loss, but for: Sustainable energy Hormone balance Confidence Strength A supportive fitness community Because this stage of life isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about building resilience. You Are Not Broken. You Are Evolving. 💕 Once you understand what’s actually happening inside your body, everything changes. That’s exactly why I’m partnering with Andreya from Tone For Life to host a powerful, education-based workshop specifically for women in perimenopause and menopause. MASTER YOUR HORMONES 🗓 Saturday, March 14th | 10am–12 noon 📍 Hosted at my gym In this workshop, we’ll break down: What actually happens to your metabolism in midlife Why the strategies that used to work stopped working How to support your hormones instead of fighting them Practical steps to restore energy, balance, and confidence This is not another “eat less, move more” talk. This is real education. Real solutions. Real empowerment. Spots are limited to 15 women to keep it personal and impactful. If you’re in Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Elko New Market, Prior Lake, or Savage and ready to approach fitness differently — reply to reserve your seat early. You deserve to feel strong. You deserve to feel energized. You deserve to feel at home in your body again. With you every step of the way. 💕
