Eager to get back into a routine after lockdown?

This picture was taken while Forest was leading a remote boot camp Monday morning. Ted L was at the session and gave an awesome effort as always! We wanted to highlight his success story today:

Ted had been in lockdown for so long, and he was tired of being out of his fitness routine.

He saw that we were running a 100% virtual 14-day home fitness Challenge… reached out to us… and decided to take a chance and sign up!

Ted has been very consistent over the last couple of months with his workouts and has made some great progress. In his words:

“I was eager to get back into a fitness routine after being in lockdown for so long. FVT came to the rescue with a novel Zoom work out set up that was rigorous but also easy to accomplish in a home environment. Enrolling was easy, I got a lot of helpful information, and the instructors are very helpful and encouraging. The Zoom work outs are a great idea. Glad I found this place!”

Thanks for the kind words Ted! Keep up the great work, you rock!

We are looking for part-time admin support at FVT

We are looking for part-time admin support at FVT.

Perfect gig for someone looking to break into the fitness industry!

With the increased requirements to safely do business in today’s environment, we are in need of immediate cleaning help.

You WILL be:

  • Mopping floors
  • Washing windows
  • Taking out the trash
  • Scrubbing the toilet

In addition to cleaning, another main job responsibility is client billing management. Individuals considered for this job must be detail-oriented, trustworthy, responsible, and mature.

Job duties also may include:

  • Runnning errands / picking up gym supplies
  • Posting to social media
  • Designing basic fliers / sinage for in-studio use

There is potential for more hours in this job position as we re-build our business after 12 weeks of being closed due to the pandemic (will start at three times per week, two to three hours per day, and increase from there), as well as potential for career advancement (past admin support have gone on to become personal trainers at FVT!)

Interested?

muscle confusion lie

I have to get this off my chest.

Because it might be the #1 mistake people make when they are trying to build strength.

It’s not your fault, because you’ve been sold this lie by fitness marketers for the last decade.

But what I always see and hear about people doing, is constantly changing up their program and exercises, for the sake of “muscle confusion”, in hopes of making gains.

But if your goal is to press a bigger KB… or do more push ups… or do more pull ups… or up your deadlift…

The OPPOSITE of what you need is muscle confusion.

Simply put, if you want to get stronger, you must force your muscles to perform more work than they previously have.

It has to be in a systematic, planned, progressive, balanced, and specific way.

I don’t have time in today’s post to get into more details – much more info on the page below if you want to learn more: https://www.forestvancetraining.com/2019/11/muscle-confusion-doesnt-work-heres-what-to-do-instead.html

And if your strength gains have stalled out, now you know why 🙂

Here’s to finally making GAINS this summer!

semi private PT

Boy it’s great to be back in the gym!

We are looking for about three to five men and women who live and/or work in the Land Park / Midtown / Downtown areas of Sacramento to try our semi private personal training program this month.

This will be a perfect fit for you if:

– you want a bit more individualized attention and focus over a group workout

– you are ready to come back into the gym, but you aren’t quite ready for the larger groups in light of everything that’s going on right now

– you like the ‘win-win’ idea of semi private PT

– because you get what is VERY close to personal training-level service, at a lower cost because it’s spread between 1 or 2 or so more people

If you are interested, reply to this message, and we’ll send you all the details on our semi private PT 14 Day Jump Start program so that you can give it a try.

Thanks!

[video] FVT Reopening Walk-Thru

Hey!

Thought I’d hop on and do a video today..

..we are so excited to be reopening this weekend!

This is a walk through of what it will be like when you come in for a session.

10 minute before each training session, we will open the door. This is to minimize the amount of time you’re congregating and chatting etc.

As you come in, you will 1) use hand sanitizer 2) go through a COVID-19 “self screen” checklist.

Then you will walk in the gym using the one entrance that we will have set up.

NOTE: signing up ahead of time is MANDATORY, because we are limiting the group size to 10.

During the workout, each person will have their own designated 250 sq foot space to work out in.

You will also be using your own equipment that you clean before and after the workout yourself, the entire time.

And that’s about it!

So much look forward to getting back in the mix and see you soon!

-Forest, owner, FVT Personal Training
