With Christmas just around the corner, January is also less than two weeks away – and we want to make sure that you have a plan to make 2016 your BEST ever.

If you’re not already training at FVT, think about it! At the very least, contact us by filling out this form:

=> FVT Boot Camp and Personal Training Strategy Session Application Form

To schedule a free “fitness strategy session” over the phone – we’ll chat about your goals, and how / if we can get you on the fast track to reaching them in the coming year.

Also – we had a couple of articles go up on the blog last week that we’re getting a lot of great feedback on, and wanted to make sure that you got the chance to review them – they are linked to below if you haven’t seen them yet:

And finally, wanted to send one final reminder to current clients about the drawing we are doing at the end of the month where you can win a FREE month of unlimited boot camp workouts at FVT.

All you have to do is get 10 TOTAL workouts between Thanksgiving and Christmas to get entered to win! We have 39 folks who have gotten at least 7 workouts since the day after Thanksgiving … so let’s finish out this holiday season strong!

Jan 2016 Ultimate Challenge Workout (last chance to sign up?)

 

WoW – the January 9th FVT Ultimate Challenge Workout is just over 3 weeks away!!

It’s going to be a LOT of fun … and we’re going to help the Sacramento SPCA in the process, which makes it even more awesome.

HOWEVER … I wanted to let you know that as of now, we plan on shutting down registration at 30 people, because that’s about all I feel we can fit and train safely at one time with our current space …

And SO, unless we figure out an alternate plan of some kind … we have 4 spots left as I write this.

If you’ve been thinking about signing up but haven’t done so yet – now is the time! Click the link below for all the details and to reserve your spot now:

December 2015 Challenge Workout (and results!)

dinny

Here’s the December 2015 FVT Challenge Workout:

Men

– 15 chin ups
– 35 hanging knee raises
– 50 goblet squats w 24k KB
– 75 full push ups

As fast as possible

Women

– 35 hanging knee raises
– 50 inverted rows w eq
– 50 goblet squats w 16k KB
– 75 knee push ups

As fast as possible

Notes

– Exercises / reps CAN (and probably will have to be) be broken up – e.g. for men – 5 sets of 3 chin ups, 7 hanging knee raises, 10 goblet squats and 15 push ups
– KB weights are “prescribed” … of course folks can use lighter … use good judgement!
– If men can’t do chin ups, do recline rows instead
– Be strict! NO swinging on the chin ups. Full range of motion. Same on recline rows – touch the floor on each rep at the bottom and chest to bar at the top.
– For knee raises – folks must fully extend the body at the bottom and bring the knees up past parallel to the floor at the top. No swinging or kipping.
– For squats – thighs must break parallel; fully extend hips at the top of the movement
– For push ups – break at LEAST 90 degrees w forearm and upper arm at the bottom; fully lock out at the top

… and the results!

Zero Equipment Body Weight Workout (video)

Finished off our boot camp session this morning at FVT with a body weight only, zero equipment conditioning circuit … thought I would share it with you to do on your own, for maybe a quick fat burning session you can do at home between boot camps, or even as you travel / are away from your regular routine over the coming holiday weeks.

– Jumping Jacks / X Jacks / Seal Jacks
– Reverse Prisoner Lunges (alternating)

– Low Squat Hold

Watch a video of me showing how to do all of the exercises here:

Try that workout, and let me know how it goes!

Have a great day –

PS – Imagine working out with us at the FVT studio two, three, or four times per week … getting the motivation, the accountability, the extra boost and push you NEED to take your results to the next level, and FINALLY achieve the goals you’ve wanted to reach for so long …

Then click here to make it happen.

PPS – Do you know a friend, family member, or co-worker who you think might enjoy or benefit from this workout? Please feel free to pass it on!

FVT Boot Camp + Personal Training Black Friday Sale

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!

2015 has been a wonderful year, there is much I am personally thankful for … and I hope the same is true for you.

So to the point of today’s message – we’re doing a Black Friday sale this year.

I know – you’re getting SLAMMED with dozens of OTHER offers right now … but keep reading, and you’ll see that this is different than the rest.

We have offers for EVERYONE – so check it out:

EXISTING FVT clients – buy six months of ANY program, get one free!

If you’re already training at FVT, loving the workouts and results, and know you’re in it to win it for the long term – why not pay for your next six months of training and get one free?

This is an approx 15% savings – plus, you won’t have to worry about monthly payments for the next seven months.

There IS a catch however … as a business, we can’t go over 10% of our total memberships being pre-paid … and so that leaves us with 7 of these available.

If you are interested, simply send an email to forest (at) forestvancetraining.com, I’ll answer any questions you have etc, then send over a payment link and get you all set up!

NEW or INACTIVE (for at least 6 months) clients – $97 21 Day Quick Start Special

For new clients who want to try FVT and see what we’re all about … OR for “in-active” clients who haven’t worked out at our facility for at least six months … we have a $97 21 Day Quick Start Special!

For $97, you get:

— 6 boot camps OR 3 semi private sessions to be used over a 21 day period
— A copy of the “official” FVT Rapid Fat Loss Meal Plan
— Before and after body comp analysis
— Coaching, support, motivation, accountability and more from the FVT team and community

You can get this for yourself, OR as a gift for a friend / family member / etc – you have six months from time of purchase to redeem the package.

Again – if you are interested, simply send an email to forest (at) forestvancetraining.com, I’ll answer any questions you have etc, then send over a payment link and get you all set up!

Rock on!
