What Price Do You Put On Your Health And Fitness?

What value do you put on this area of your life?

How important is it to you?

What is investing in preventative health and life enhancing measures worth to you?

How much of a higher value would you place on your health and fitness if you developed some kind of health problem?

It seems to me that a lot of people do not value their health and fitness until they can no longer be taken for granted and things have got quite bad.

If things get really bad no amount of money can buy you back your health and well-being, prevention is always going to be the most successful and cheaper option.

People will pay for health insurance but then do nothing to ensure they actually stay as healthy as possible!

Where am i going with this??

Well the economy i guess!

Just a shout out to say don't neglect that which is so important and vital to your well-being and quality of life.

Fitness can be free. Fitness training can be learned. Some people are entirely self motivated.

So there is never an excuse to stop!

Most of the time people make lots of mistakes and drastically lengthen the time it takes for them to get the results they want.

This is the point at which some kind of coaching comes in. Achieving your results in a good time frame, staying as motivated as possible, addressing specific issues and injuries.

Some people still need or want personal training. It is the best choice for them in terms of their time, effort, money and results.

What ever type of fitness training you choose, the benefits likely extend across your entire life. It's hard to put a price on a genuine life enhancer, something that is proven to reverse aspects of ageing (loss of muscle and bone mass etc).

This is the feedback i often hear - it's not just about losing weight and shaping up - it might not be about this at all.

What is it worth to play your sport injury free for an extra 5, 10, 20 years?

How about staying active with your kids and grandchildren throughout life, living independently and free from falls.

How about avoiding the risks of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer - all of which are significantly affected by your lifestyle choices?

Sometimes we have to look at our choices from the perspective of what we want and what we don't want to happen.

Stay fit and healthy out there!

P.S. Our next bootcamp is about to start on Monday 20t Oct at Beech Hurst, Warden Park School, and Horsham Park. I'm looking forward to working with the next group of people taking positive action to enhance their lives!

P.P.S. I'm turning people away from many of my busier personal training times. If you have a more flexible schedule i may still be able to help you.
