If you’re ever feeling overly confident, just look up Gabby Thomas.

She’s one of the fastest women in history, stands 5’10” with the looks of a supermodel, graduated from Harvard, holds a master’s degree in epidemiology, is sponsored by New Balance, and just won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

When people say there’s always someone better, they’re talking about Gabby Thomas. This is what a literal perfect ten looks like 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Determination has no limits. Witness this incredible sprint of a blind athlete and her trainer, proving that with perseverance and support, anything is possible. There’s always a way. 💪🏅 .

Here’s the reality: the Tiger outclasses the Lion in size and strength. It’s THE apex predator, capable of swimming while the Lion can only dream about it. But don’t be fooled by its specs. The Lion, despite being smaller, has a relentless drive. It has GRIT. It will come at you, again and again, with a ferocity the Tiger doesn't possess. The Tiger might be the heavyweight champ, but it’s not as relentless in seeking out a fight as the Lion.

The moral of the story is: strength is impressive, but relentless determination and grit is what defines a warrior.

The same applies in owning a gym or any business. It's not just about having the best equipment, trainers or the strongest presence, it's about having the tenacity to keep pushing forward, facing challenges head-on, and never backing down.

Stop by Fit SF for a visit and see for yourself. We've got state-of-the-art facilities, top-notch trainers, and a gym environment that pushes you to be your best. Whether you're looking to start your fitness journey or take it to the next level, Fit SF is the place to be. Don't just take my word for it—come experience the difference yourself! ;)

Throwback to my days as a bodybuilder in New York! 🌟💪

Living in New York, I didn’t allow the inclement weather slow me down. I dominated both indoor and seasonal activities, always pushing my limits. Aside from bodybuilding, I’ve been through it all: gymnastics, baseball, basketball, breakdancing, snowboarding, jiujitsu, motorcycle racing and more.

But as a bodybuilder I’ve learned that it’s not about how much muscle you have, it’s about what you can do with it. It wasn’t too long after realizing this that I then transformed my training from just building size to building raw, functional strength and unmatched athletic ability.

Years later I moved to sunny California, where I can now racing electric unicycles. 🛞💨💨. I may be older, but I move like I’m still in my twenties. Why? Because staying active has always been non-negotiable. It’s my key to living a life of mobility and youth.

The grind, the hustle, the relentless pursuit of fitness – that’s what keeps me alive. Exercise isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. My exposure to such an array of sports has blessed me with a wealth of experience and knowledge about exercise and the science behind dieting, which I’m excited to share with others.

If you’re ready to transform your life and unlock your full potential, come stop by for a visit at my personal training studio. Let’s get to work and achieve greatness together. ;)

Stay hard, stay relentless, and keep pushing forward! 💥🏋️‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏊‍♂️

Medicine Ball Squat to Overhead Swing

This dynamic exercise combines the benefits of a squat with an overhead medicine ball swing, targeting multiple muscle groups and enhancing core stability. Here’s how it’s done:

Starting Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a 6 lb medicine ball overhead with arms fully extended.
Movement: Quickly squat down while simultaneously swinging the medicine ball forward and down, keeping your arms straight. Your arms should move from vertical to parallel to the ground as you reach the bottom of the squat. Do not swing the ball down past your knees.
Return to Start: Stand back up, bringing the medicine ball back overhead to the starting position. The stronger your core, the faster you go therefore execute this movement as fast as YOU can.
Core Engagement: Ensure your abdominals are engaged throughout the movement to maintain balance and control.
Why It’s Effective: This exercise engages the lower body, shoulders, and core, providing a full-body workout. The dynamic movement of the medicine ball requires increased abdominal activation to stabilize your body, making it an excellent core-strengthening exercise.

Pairing Recommendation: For an even more effective core workout, pair this exercise with the ab roll. The ab roll targets the entire core, especially the lower abdominals, and complements the dynamic movement of the medicine ball squat to overhead swing.

Try This Combo:

Medicine Ball Squat to Overhead Swing - 3 sets of 12-15 reps
Ab Roll - 3 sets of 10-12 reps
Give this powerful combination a try to strengthen your core and improve overall stability!

Age is just a number, but mindset and hustle are everything. These two women are both 74 years old. One is strong, fit, and happy, crushing life with relentless positivity and grit. The other looks worn out, staring out the window, letting life pass her. This is a wake-up call, stop making excuses. Get after it, be more, do more and choose to LIVE, not just exist every single day.

Check out this inspiring moment between a father and his daughter. She had a little cut, but did that stop her? Nope! She pushed through the discomfort and nailed it next time around. That's the mindset of champions right there.

Sometimes it's not about the size of the obstacle, it's about the size of your willpower. No excuses, no backing down—just pure determination to succeed. Remember, greatness doesn't come from comfort zones. Embrace the discomfort, conquer your fears, and watch yourself soar! 🚀

Watching UFC 300 last night, it was clear as day, you need the right crew in your corner. Elite athletes know this, surround yourself with people who are real and invested in your success. They’ll call you out, expose your weaknesses, and push you beyond. They won’t accommodate you. The ones already at the top? They might show you a thing or two, but they’ll never give you everything. Build your squad with those who keep it real and make you better. Embrace the challenge. No shortcuts. Just hard work and real support. Be More, Do More.

Reflecting on my early days in the fitness business, I’m reminded of some solid advice I got from a mentor back then from a man named John Wilton. John Wilton was the Vice President of Sales for Jack LaLanne Fitness Clubs. He said, ‘Don’t be so damn uptight. Smile, have fun.’ And you know what? He was absolutely right.

I’m fortunate to work in a high-energy environment, surrounded by music pumping, people hustling, and goals being crushed left and right. It’s electric, and I/we should feed off that energy.

So here I am, grinning ear to ear, soaking up every ounce of this journey. We’re all chasing greatness, pushing limits, and embracing the grind. Why not enjoy every moment of it?

Let’s keep that fire burning, keep smiling, and keep dominating. It’s all part of the game.

Attention personal trainers! Do you know what weighs people down from their goals more than anything else? Their environment. And most of us often forget that. Because our environments become “normal” to us. We stop noticing how it affects us until we make the proper environmental changes to align with our goals. That’s the leverage you need to be exceptional. If you’re a fitness professional seeking for a fitness facility to develop your own business and brand of training in a environment that will help you differentiate yourself in a way that attracts, engages, and helps you retain your clients this is a great opportunity for you to turn things around differently. Stop by and visit our facility in Downtown San Mateo.
