"Attitude=Altitude"

As athletes, trainers & coaches, we are conditioned to never admit we are broken. We lead by example, we disguise pain, we are often so driven by the end result, that we discount important ingredients of success, happiness, and life experience along the way.

I am an athlete, a trainer, and a coach.
I am driven, yet I have been broken.
I teach others how to succeed; yet I have faced countless mistakes.
I have abandoned my own advice and done what I tell others not to do.
I am human, I am flawed, I have experienced the lows of lows and the highs of highs.
 
This is why I can and will coach you to accomplish your goals, find better balance in your life, be happier, be healthier, and have the motivation to get after it, every single day.

I am not the trainer who you place on an unattainable pedestal; I work hard every day to earn your respect. I’m also not the trainer who thrives on vanity and lets my life slip by while I obsess about quantifying my days by calories. Instead, I focus on squeezing every millisecond out of life by being mindful, putting forth my absolute best effort in everything I do, and keeping all aspects in balance.

I have made mistakes so you don’t have to. I’ve changed my life and arrived where I am, simply so I can help you change your life for the better.

Tomorrow is an idea, but today….today is here.  And, today is ready for you to stop making excuses and start making progress.

One Life, Live Infinitely.

NO Excuses: Top 10 Ways to Succeed

7/16/2013

1 Comment

 
A few months ago, I gave a presentation to a group of members at a local health club. It was promoted as a "RESULTS NOT RESOLUTIONS" program, titled, "No Excuses: Top 10 Ways To Succeed." It followed a push to support members in sticking to their New Year resolutions. I was shocked to see that out of thousands of members, only 8 people were motivated enough to gain insight into finding personal success.

Of course, the OLLI team is all about motivation, and gets fired up whenever we can transfer any small speck of energy to someone else. So, I made sure I gave these 8 people as much enthusiasm and as many tools as possible to go forth and conquer 2013 like the crew of badasses they were. 

In the weeks & months following, I found that the topics discussed and information provided were needed by so many people that weren't present for the workshop. I found myself going back to the content of this presentation over and over again for different clients, friends, and even people I had just met.

So, I share the presentation with you all and encourage you to pass the positivity on. Check out the slideshow & content below, as always contact us with any questions or if you are interested in our Lifestyle Coaching programs.

Whole30 Recap

7/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Well, we took the plunge and stuck to the Whole30 rules for 1 month. 


Here's what we saw:
  • Incredible anti-inflammatory effects
  • Lean mass gain and fat mass loss
  • Increased energy after the "detox" phase
  • Decreased food sensitivities & intolerances
  • Diminished digestive discomforts
  • Clearer skin
  • Better results from exercises & training
  • Eventual decrease in cravings and increase in will power

In addition to the rules of Whole30, we added in a daily probiotic supplement and absurd (but necessary) amounts of water. 


Who we recommend this option for:
  • Anyone looking to lose weight
  • Those seeking lean mass/strength gain
  • Anyone with food sensitivities, allergies, intolerances or digestive issues (trust us, the first few weeks might be rough, but your body will reset itself and you can say good riddance to your digestive ailments!)
  • People who want better energy levels, regularity, and more "omph" for their workouts & daily activities

What are we doing AFTER Whole30?
  • We are at our "new normal"
  • We are still upholding most principles of the Whole30 program by consuming animal protein, lots of vegetables, an adequate amount of fruit, appropriate fat intake, and plenty of nuts/seeds.
  • We are still limiting dairy & grain intake, and making sure we avoid any and all processed foods
  • Depending on our training regimen, we may have boosted our carb intake back up by 1 serving
  • We have added back in our 10% rule (10% of your nutritional intake every week can be whatever you want! It keeps us all sane and eliminates guilt when enjoying our favorite indulgences)



If you'd like more day-to-day details of this system to find out if it's realistic or a good fit for you, please send an email to Cassie: [email protected]

Lean, Clean Eating for 30 days

6/3/2013

0 Comments

 
We never advise our clients about anything without trying it ourselves first. 

This month, we are tackling the Whole30 challenge. Whole30 is a Paleo based "clean-up" or "reset" for your nutritional intake. It is so NOT a diet, but rather a way to help people get back on track with healthy, sustainable habits. It might feel like a major lifestyle shift, but it's totally manageable and we expect it to be worth it, too! The system uses well-timed, content packed emails and an online community (full of spectacular resources) to guide Whole30 members to success. It practices the principles put forth by its parent company, Whole9. 

Much like OLLI, they are all about approaching a positive, healthy lifestyle with a holistic balance. Check out their 9 factors below (we dig them):

We will keep you all posted about our journey over the next 30 days & we welcome anyone to join us in achieving a higher energy level, cleaner, more efficient systems and a leaner-meaner-ready-to-take-on-anything for the summer attitude!

Check them out or email us to get on board!

OLLI Does Boston: Free Group Workouts

6/3/2013

1 Comment

 
Picture
After announcing free group training around Boston and immediate suburbs, lots of questions have been flooding into OLLI. Why so vague? When is it? What is it? Why is it free? 
Here is the low down, folks.


I've seen so many people cheated out of a healthy lifestyle simply because they don't have the money or resources to invest in it. Now, as a coach and a practicing business owner, I know a thing or two about sales. Of course, some people could adjust their lifestyles and spending habits accordingly--which would squash any and all excuses and help them achieve a healthier, happier sense of well being. There are the few though (with this number growing in our turbulent economy) that genuinely cannot afford expert guidance to help them be successful in achieving their goals. This is one of the main reasons OLLI Fitness was created. Everyone, everywhere should be able to find a support group and become the best possible version of themselves. 

SO, we bring you...Free Group Workouts.

We bring them to where you need them, when you need them. No times or locations have been announced yet, because we will plan each session according to what the OLLI family demands.

If you're in Boston and you want to be a part of this movement, let us know when and where you want to get your sweat on. We will be there to join you, coach you, and cheer you on. Tweet us, email us, call us, Facebook us...even snail mail us. If we hear from you, we will make it happen.

Happy Monday, this week has got NOTHING on you. So get after it, everyday.

One Life, Live Infinitely.
