It seems to happen overnight, but in reality it takes time to get out of shape. A workout missed here, a bag of BBQ chips while watching Mad Men, there. And even though I run, ok, I jog, play soccer and try to lead a healthy lifestyle, let’s get real, between work, raising a family, not able to say “no” to school fundraising events, I drop at the end of the day.

And as my head hits the pillow, I say to myself, “tomorrow, I am going to make fitness a priority in my life”. But before I know it, the next day is done. I’ve checked things off my list, minus the most important, me.
No more. It’s time to feel good again, and not have my gut hang over my favorite pair of jeans.

A month ago I signed up for Fulcrum Fitness’s FREE ONE WEEK TRIAL and found time for two classes. I loved the environment, everyone from tip top shape, to those who are making a lifestyle change. We pushed, we pulled, and I was introduced to a burpee. A blast from my old high school PE days of squat thrusts with an added jump on the end. Loved and hated it at the same time.

It was a class of no fuss, no muss. I used my body to workout. I didn’t have to push a bunch of buttons on a machine telling me how many calories I was burning while running stationary in bored routine of a mindless workout.

Days followed of soreness. You know, the kind that hurts when you just push on a muscle, or beg a friend to not make you laugh, because your stomach can’t take it. But I was so proud that I could feel my body changing immediately. Waking up my muscles, feeling a sense of pride, and getting some great sleep at night, something I’ve missed terribly.

But then I fell off the wagon and went back into my old routine. Not anymore! Tonight I am taking the 6:30pm Fulcrum Fitness Bootcamp Class at their Sellwood location. It will be a different class structure of functional fitness. Jesse Fairbanks , Fulcrum’s Fitness Director designs each week differently following his matrix system. You can read his blog.

I want to be a role model for my 10 year old son. I want to look great in shorts. I want to be stronger. And I know it only takes an hour a day and Fulcrum is there for me.
Wish me luck and join me. Join Fulcrum Fitness and let’s meet in 62 days at Fulcrum’s Grand Opening at Progress Ridge in Beaverton and share our journey.
I’ll let you know how the class goes and what we did.

Testimonial

“Fulcrum Fitness is a great gym with a unique and very effective program that keeps you guessing, interested, engaged, and constantly improving. The workouts are scalable and accessible to anyone, from complete newcomer to a fire breather. The trainers are awesome, and the members are inspiring. Everyone I have seen at Fulcrum has made a conscious commitment to fitness and arrives at the gym ready to work. There’s no lollygagging around… you get in, warm up, kick some ass (or get it kicked!), cool down, and you’re on your way. Based on my few months at Fulcrum, I’d give them an A… and I’ve shopped around and experienced several gyms and training scenarios over the years. Keep up the great work!!!”   Jim S.

What are you waiting for?

My goal when I joined Fulcrum was to regain control of my life. My excess weight gain had caused my life to spiral out of control. As a former athlete, the weight gain sent me into struggles with depression, and self confidence. I didn’t know how to be an overweight individual. So, I stopped doing things I once enjoyed, and loved…I stopped living life. Once I became committed to change, Fulcrum offered something different and challenging from your conventional gym. Initially, I was intimidated because I was so out of shape. After day one, I knew Fulcrum was going to be the major key to my fitness success. I knew my journey was not going to be easy, but I was determined and ready to give it my all.

After joining Fulcrum in October 2011, I have lost 45 pounds, and dropped 3 dress sizes. I have gained significant strength, endurance, and confidence. I was amazed and motivated by how much progress I made just after the first week. One thing I noticed immediately about Fulcrum was that you didn’t have to be in top notch shape to participate. As long as you are willing to try, you will succeed.

I love the positive team atmosphere, support, variety, and high intensity structured classes Fulcrum offers. It’s inspiring to be among people with similar fitness goals as yourself. I have definitely made life long friends. All of the Fitpro trainers are so wonderful and each displays an in-depth knowledge, experience, and passion that inspires all in their presence. Jon, whom I adore, inspires me to push myself beyond my comfort level, and constantly encourages me to challenge my personal best.

I look forward to attending every class, and leaving feeling amazing…feeling on top of the world. I have to admit, I am addicted to Fulcrum Fitness, and go through withdrawal when I miss a day. In just a short period time of attending Fulcrum, my life has improved significantly, both physically and emotionally. Fitness has now become a priority in my daily life. It is no longer an after thought, it is a lifestyle. I am now living life to its fullest. Thank you Fulcrum.

“Started Fulcrum the week of September 12th, 2011. I lost 11 pounds in 8 weeks.  Waist is 2.5 inches slimmer and I’m way more toned and I notice the difference  on the soccer field.  I started at 196.5 lbs with 26% body fat. As of the new year in 2012 I have lost 20 lbs.!”

-Jeremy W. (MLK)

“I feel like I’m getting a much better and intense work out with less time invested.  I’m never bored, always challenged and I’ve never looked forward to working out as much as I do now.  Since starting with Fulcrum, I noticed I am definitely stronger. I continue to enjoy the quest to be in the best shape possible with a little help from Fulcrum Fitness. Thanks guys!”

-Ken M. (MLK)

“When I started training with Trevor Hollingsworth, I was about 40 lbs. overweight and had recently recovered from a neck injury. It was apparent right away that Trevor had the depth of knowledge and experience as a personal trainer to inspire my trust. I am amazed by the progress I have made. The physical changes have been substantial; not a day passes without friends or coworkers noticing the transformation.”

-Jeandre C. (MLK)

“What I learned from personal training was invaluable and completely translatable to each class. Posture and form were explained and have help minimize injury and maximize results in each class. I also learned just how far I could push myself. To truly get the most out of the Fulcrum experience, personal training combined with classes is the way to go.”

-Rebecca W. (MLK)

“I just returned from vacation and can honestly say that I haven’t felt as good about myself in a swimsuit in over 15 years. The program – especially my trainer, Cate – rocks! I feel fit, have more energy, and have lost over 30 pounds and two+ pant sizes (while admittedly eating and drinking as I’d like).”

-Lynn G. (MLK)
