Summer time to me is the time to start to really prepare yourself physically as well as mentally! Why, because this is the time when we all tend to let go and enjoy the sun forgetting that in the next couple of months many head off to college or start your high school sport and with that comes conditioning for sports as well as the Freshman 15+! So are you prepared???

Lets get past the obvious, YOU NEED to wear sunblock all day every day!!!! The sun will not only burn you but will help to dehydrate you if not properly protected.

I am very excited at the start of 2010! We are now staffed with some of the best trainers on the west side of town and we have added many Ladies Fit Classes, Strength and Conditioning Classes, and a full array of MMA classes that will get anyone ready for any event they want to enter!!!

Kid of the week!

Brandon Paulakis - Brandon is one of our many leaders on and off the mat. This week he not only attended all the classes but even came to the 3 PM BJJ class on friday and rolled with the big dogs!

Parent of the week!

The end of a decade? My brother and I argued this point all day, is this the end of the decade or is Dec 31st, 2010 the end of a decade?

Well I am freezing in NY, lovin every minute of being with my family, and decided to take my son to the local Y for quick workout and to spend some time bonding. Now my brother and his family are members so we enter into the Y and are told to fill out paperwork, then we are told that it will be $20 dollars for me and $5 for Logan. I could have lived with the charge until I was told that Logan was not allowed to train with me because he was under the age of 16.

2009 is almost behind us and I am looking forward to 2010. This past year I have had some really great things happen and found out the true meaning of friendship and who our true friends are. I have found that every client we have is awesome and all of us at FFC will do what it takes to help you, our clients, meet your goals. Because no 2 people are alike and what works for one may not work for another so we continue to educate ourselves as to what we can do to help you get to the next level and break those dreaded plateaus!

This was a tough week, I found out another friend had lost thier job and another, that had beat cancer once before, is now faced with the battle once again. Last night I was awake most of the night thinking about my friends and what I was going to do to help them in thier upcoming plans to battle the obstacles life has put before them.

I have heard just about every reason why people can't workout!

"i have to work early!, I have to work late!, I have the kids!, I volunteer! ect. ect!!!!

Before reading on please take the time to watch the Don Meyer acceptance speech at the ESPY'S upon receiving the "JIMMY V" award. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGSCalTjpU,

Today I woke ready for a bike ride and once again promised myself I was going to cut back on the sweets and make a serious effort to get to where I want to be physically! I do this often and hope that this time I can keep to the plan! I, like most of us, see what we want but allow life's interruptions to get in the way of what we need for ourselves. I don't know why because we all seem so focused when it comes to work.

First off we are in fact changing the name to Florida Fitness Center. We will still maintain the "SWAT WORKOUT" Produced by our friend Captain Thomas Stroup of the Orange County SWAT Team!

Now that 2008 has come to an end I can look back as to what I have accomplished as well as what I have put on the back burner and never got to!

In doing so I have many fun and exciting memories,
