There Is Something Different About Training Next to Someone

There is something different about training next to someone. You work a little harder. You laugh a little more. You complain together. That feels so validating, and somehow the workout that looked absolutely terrible on the board becomes a lot more fun. One of my favorite things about group personal training is that you get the benefits of intentional coaching and programming while also getting something you simply cannot replicate training alone. People. Lately, we have been

Want to Get Your First Chin-Up or Push-Up?

Want to Get Your First Chin-Up or Push-Up? Obviously, we need to get stronger, but there is another piece of the equation that people sometimes overlook. Relative strength. A chin-up requires you to move your own bodyweight through space. A push-up requires you to move a significant percentage of your bodyweight. That means there are two ways to make those movements easier. Get stronger. And, if fat loss is appropriate for you, have less nonfunctional weight to move. Why Rela

The Next Chapter for Get Fit NH

There simply isn’t enough space on social media to share all of the feelings I have around this transition. There are so many mixed emotions. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built. I’m excited for what’s ahead. I’m emotional about closing a chapter that has been such a massive part of my life. And more than anything, I’m so damn proud of Adam. When I think about who could possibly take the reins at Get Fit NH, it has always been him. Fun fact: I literally named Adam in my

LINDA!!! Down 17lbs!

Linda is the life of the party and has helped create such a positive vibe within our 8:30 class. She brings energy, fun, and encouragement every time she walks through the door. And now we have something pretty exciting to celebrate. Linda is down 17 pounds! Her hard work and consistency are paying off, and we couldn’t let this achievement go by without celebrating her. Linda gives so much positive energy to the people around her, so what better way to end class than to recip

THAT Is What We’re Training For

Yesterday I had a conversation with a client that I haven’t stopped thinking about. She was telling me about her weekend. She and her husband lugged around PVC pipe. She did an insane amount of gardening. She tackled a bunch of other physically demanding work around the house. While she was telling me about some of the fascia and joint discomfort she was experiencing, I stopped her for a second and reminded her of something: Do you realize how impressive it is that you’re alm

Never Underestimate the Power of an Invitation

Never underestimate the power of simply inviting someone in. Last night was our Wednesday Run/Walk Club. We meet in front of the State House at 5:00, we have a four-mile route, and the rules are pretty simple: Whoever shows up, shows up. Run it. Walk it. Do a little of both. Cut it short if you need to. Just show up and move. As we gathered, a young man nearby had clearly just gotten off work. He was still dressed in his work clothes, backpack on, getting some steps in and so

15 YEARS STRONG!

There’s something pretty special about celebrating 15 years of strength, consistency, and commitment. Jack has been showing up, putting in the work, and getting stronger with us at Get Fit NH for 15 YEARS! That’s 15 years of workouts, challenges, progress, and plenty of “Make It Happen” moments along the way. And his anniversary workout was no exception. His whole workout, you could say, left you feeling JACKED! 😜 But milestones like this are about more than the workouts. Th

Your Best Doesn’t Have to Look Like Anyone Else’s

Your best doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It’s easy to look around the gym and compare your progress to the person next to you. Maybe they’re lifting more weight, moving faster, or doing something that you’re still working toward. But their best isn’t your best. Your progress is personal. Maybe your new best is one more rep than you did last week. Maybe it’s adding a little more weight. Maybe it’s moving with better form or feeling more confident with an exercise. So

Grab Your Sneakers and Join Us for Run/Walk Club!

Our run/walk group has been a HUGE hit, and we are going to keep it going as long as we can! Starting next week, we'll meet at 5 PM. The days are getting shorter before our eyes, so we want to start a bit earlier and have plenty of daylight to get our steps in. One of the best things about our Run/Walk Club is that you can make it work for YOU. You can choose to run, walk, or do a mix of both. Bring a stroller. Bring a friend. Bring your dog! You can do the full loop, or you

This Is Retirement Planning

“I’m too busy.” It’s something we hear all the time. Work is crazy. The kids need you. Your schedule is packed. Something always seems more urgent than getting to the gym. So you tell yourself, “I’ll start when things slow down.” But what if they never do? Here’s a number that might change the way you think about making time for strength training. In New Hampshire, nursing home care can cost around $12,000 to $13,000 a month. That’s more than $140,000 a year. Think about what

The REAL Reason to Strength Train as We Get Older?

The real reason to strength train as we get older? Independence. Strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier weights or building muscle you can see. As we age, strength becomes increasingly important for maintaining the ability to do the everyday things that allow us to live independently. Here are 5 very real risks of NOT strength training as we age. 1. Your Risk of Osteoporosis Increases As we age, our risk of developing osteoporosis increases significantly, particul

Meeting Clients Where They’re At

Meeting clients where they’re at is what good coaching is all about. Betsy is post-knee surgery, so instead of forcing traditional step-ups, we’re using split squats with a mini BOSU to challenge her ankle and knee stability, control, and confidence in a way that works better for her right now. Because good coaching isn’t about handing everyone the exact same workout and expecting the exact same result. It’s about paying attention to the person in front of you and understandi

Train Now So Your Age Never Gets to Make the Decision for You

Imagine you’re in your 70s. You’re in Aruba on the trip of a lifetime with your grandkids. They decide to do some crazy excursion that involves hanging from a bar, getting launched off a pirate ship into the middle of the ocean, and jumping into the water. They look at you and say, “Come on, Grandma!” And instead of thinking… Can my body handle that? Am I strong enough? What if I can’t do it? You just say YES. THIS is why we train. One of our Get Fit NH clients has been consi

Walking in the Door Is Sometimes the Hardest Part

Can we all agree that walking in the door is the hardest part of the workout sometimes?! Meet Morgan. I adore her 🫶 After a few late nights in a row and a 4 am wake-up call, she came to the gym tired and definitely not feeling her best. But she showed up. And sometimes, that is enough. It is easy to think every workout needs to be great. You might think you need to feel energized, motivated, and ready to give 100%. But real consistency does not look like that. Sometimes cons

Practice It. Preach It. LIVE It.

There’s something powerful about a coach jumping into the workout alongside their clients. Coaching isn’t just about telling someone to push harder, work hard, and keep showing up. It’s about being willing to do those same things yourself. When a coach steps into the workout alongside their clients, they experience the challenge firsthand. They know what it feels like when the workout gets hard, when you’re tired, and when you have to make the decision to keep pushing. That’s

Speed and Agility Training Is for Everyone

Speed and agility training is for everyone. You do not have to be an athlete to benefit from training your body to move quickly and efficiently. Adding quick sprints, forward and backward movement, karaoke steps, lateral shuffles, and reaction drills helps improve balance, coordination, footwork, and confidence in everyday movement. These movements challenge your body in different ways and help you become more comfortable moving in every direction. That matters not only durin

7 Reasons You Should Be Strength Training That Have Nothing to Do With the Scale

A lot of people associate the gym or exercise in general with physique or weight loss. But that is old news. There are so many reasons to strength train that have absolutely nothing to do with the scale. Strength training is about building a body that helps you continue doing the things you love and need to do as you age. Here are seven reasons you should be strength training. 1.

The Best Part of a Workout Finisher Isn't the Exercise

When most people think about a workout finisher, they think about the challenge. The elevated heart rate. The burning muscles. The final push before class is over. But the best part of a finisher isn't the exercise. It's the people beside you. When you're tired and the workout is over, it's the community's energy that helps keep you going. Hearing someone cheer you on, seeing others working just as hard, and knowing you're all pushing toward the same finish line creates an en
