“My First Marathon” 16-Week Training Program at The Body Firm

FAQ’s

DO I HAVE TO ALREADY BE A RUNNER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS TRAINING PROGRAM?
No, this 16-week training program is specifically designed for those who do not have an established running habit, or those who have enjoyed running in the past but have not been consistent in a while.
This is a “newbie” training program, open to beginners!

WHAT GEAR WILL I NEED?
We suggest having two pairs of running sneakers, so you can alternate wear for the sake of your joint and body health, but one pair of sneakers will do just fine.
You will also need a headlamp ($5 at Walmart, also found in sporting goods stores and online), as we will often be training in some level of darkness due to the season.
Otherwise, whatever clothing is comfortable for you to run and walk in suits this group just fine.

Hello, Hello!

Dave asked me to introduce myself to you all, and let you know that there’s a new female Coach at The Body Firm.

My name is Marilyn Horton, and I have been a Personal Trainer since 2005. Over that time I’ve worked with every age and stage of life from youth to the elderly, helped keep women strong through pregnancies and guide them through losing the post-baby weight, helped people lose massive amounts of weight and reshape otherwise shapeless bodies.

In this time, my passion has been to work with the Over-40 population, as I have found this to be the phase of life when people generally forget to think about their own health and well-being because they’re so busy taking care of others. Dave often refers to this as “The Perfect Storm” – That time when you are taking care of kids while also caring for an aging parent, when your spouse gets sick or your family goes through a particularly stressful time of life. During that perfect storm of circumstances, the stress takes over and we often lose our own health in the wake. Weight gain, loss of muscle, fatigue, joint pain, depression, and a whole list of other symptoms are the result of phases like this.

The scary part is that this perfect storm is also a silent killer. If the habits (or LOSS of good habits) that get you through the storm in survival mode continue, those bad habits or lack of healthy habits will take you down. When that happens, you won’t be able to take care of your loved ones anymore, or play with your kids or grandkids, or celebrate big occasions with your loved ones.

When the bad habits take over the healthy, you are left with a quality of life that feeds on itself in a downward spiral; it includes prohibitively expensive medications, doctors visits, and hospital stays, special wheelchairs, walkers, and beds, in home or facility nursing care.

That is NOT the quality of life I hope for anyone, particularly anyone who cares enough for their own health to be on THIS emailing list!

So, if the only thing that has held you back from taking a positive step for your health has been something as seemingly simple as having a female personal training option: The Time Is Now! If something here has spoken to you –and if you’re still reading, something has struck a chord: The Day To Make Changes Is Today!

There are only a few steps between the YOU of today and the YOU of your dreams:

1. Respond by Calling/Texting 817-891-1672 and let Dave know you’d like to learn more about our personal training program, pricing, and facility
2. Decide what option works best for your family and your finances so that YOU can get in the best shape of your life and paint a MUCH different picture of your future self than the one staring you in the mirror today
3. Show up! It’s that simple. When you hire me as your Personal Training Coach at The Body Firm, it takes the guesswork out of your day. All you have to do is show up at our agreed upon time and let me guide, motivate, and inspire you!

We want YOU to be our next success story!

Until I see you in the gym…

I hope that YOU are making it a great day,

Marilyn Horton

Patti Jimenez is a busy Mom and Homemaker.

After years and years of taking care of everyone but herself she found herself overweight, out of shape, and running out of energy.

Hear how in the past year she’s not only dropped the weight without feeling deprived. But how taking care of herself first and protecting her health helps her be the best Mom she can be.

When client first start working out with me they’re usually having to change one or two habits in the first week.

And for a lot of them just gibing themselves permission to be “selfish” and put themselves first for JUST 30min that day is a BIG DEAL.

I encourage them to adopt a couple of RULES for EXERCISE that have served so many so well for so many years.

RULES make it easier for YOU to make changes and that’s all that matters.

Have you decided 2019 is going to be YOUR YEAR to FINALLY DROP the WEIGHT and GET in SHAPE (and this time FOR GOOD!)?

Accountability: Having someone holding you to the “promises you’ve made to yourself” goes a LONG way to
aiding you in getting to your goals.

Accountability-meaning a coach or group that keeps you on track

and

Support-people that will help keep you mentally and physically strong when you’re not your best.

If you have NEVER worked out, or exercised consistently for a year or 2 years or more you NEED “Support and Accountability” to get to your goals.

If you’re new to exercise or have STRUGGLED to stick with it long enough to see results and build momentum it will be HARD for you to appreciate
or fully understand HOW important these two thing are to your LONG TERM success.

80% of my Clients WASTED valuable time “trying it on my own” and have many many many Gym memberships ALL over TOWN.

BUT they ONLY found success once they found a COACH and got the SUPPORT that we all need to see success.

Dave
P.s. If you’re doing that “Secret Resolution” where you “try to get in shape” without telling anyone, you know “in case you quit”?
You’re already setting yourself up for a massive FAILURE.
Get the Accountability, Support, and Coaching you need to see the RESULTS you want in less time than you thought possible.
