Shared Personal Training and Action Hero Programs

Over the last five years the main program at Taiso Fitness and Nutrition has been small group classes. We wanted to bridge the gap between bootcamp classes with minimal instruction and coaching and good personal training which is more expensive.

Over the last year we have continually improved our training and format to be more personalized. Now our primary service is shared personal training. So, how does shared personal training work? Just like with the small group classes you sign up online for the hour you want to start your session to keep the groups small enough for direct personal coaching. However you are no longer tied to class times that start at the top of the hour.

You have a 16 week training program that is specifically tailored to your goals and needs. You have a coach to helping you and the other seven or less participates through each session and you retest every two weeks.

So what is it you are retesting? That depends on what movement compensation you have and may include movement, balance, vision or breathing.

We recently developed major goals into several programs based on Action Heroes that personify those goals such as Tomb Raiders of the Lost Ark. This program is an endurance program that is modeled on Indiana Jones and Lara Croft.

Don’t be surprised if you see some special events created around the program characters and themes.

All our classes and programs are presented with four or more levels of difficulty based on your current needs and goals. At the base we have an alignment level appropriate to anyone who has a major compensation with that body part or has had a past trauma. This is a […]

The Power of Morning Routine

The Power of A Morning Routine

I just listened to an interview with Hal Elrod, author of the Miracle Morning. He has an incredible story of surviving a head on car crash from a drunk driver, having a miraculus recovery, and going on to be a very succesful writer and speaker.

One of the keys to success that he talked about was his morning routine, how it developed over time and it’s effects on his daily success. Heading into a new year, is a good time for me to get back on track on my own morning routine.

All month I have been hyper-focused on getting the RESOLUTE program ready for February. This is the replacement for our Jeans Challenge, which we wanted to make available to a broader audience and allow the participants more time to build habits then are possible in the eight week program we have done up until now.

But, in an effort to meet self-imposed deadlines I let my morning routine slide and to be perfectly honest my creativity and productivety slid as well.

Here is the acronym Hal Elrod uses to describe his morning routine which he calls his Life SAVERS.

S is for silence, meditation, or prayer.

A is for affirmation.

V is for visualization which he uses to specifically get past fear, insecurity, and self-doubt.

E is for exercise.

R is for reading.

S is for scribing or journalling.

My most productive morning routine incorporates all these elements in one way or another, but here is how I do it.

An early morning dogwalk. During the walk I spend time in silence and meditation. I also visualize the end state of whatever major project I will be working on that day. […]

Pink Gloves Boxing

What is Pink Gloves Boxing? “Pink Gloves Boxing is a fitness program that delivers an amazing workout and an emotionally rewarding experience to small communities of powerful women. The fitness world is overflowing with great programs, but PGB is in a class of its own. Pink Gloves is the only program that puts a great deal of focus on social and emotional growth in addition to the amazing workout. Using the core movements of competitive boxing, PGB is a non- contact program for women who want to live a healthy lifestyle. Join us in changing the way we look at the world of fitness. Pink Gloves Boxing™ (PGB) truly is a movement towards a healthier lifestyle!”

Pink Gloves Boxing is a fun full body workout. The program starts with a warm up then has instruction on technique then moves into a circuit program that includes body weight exercise, agility training, jump rope, shadow boxing, hitting the focus pads, and hitting the heavy bag.

Because of the technical instruction involved, this program is offered in 16 week memberships. This allows the instructor the opportunity to bring the entire class up to speed initially then focus on form and intensity throughout the remaining weeks without having to re-teach the basics to a new person every class.

At the end of each 16 week session the participants have a chance to test out on their current tier and progress to a more challenging version of the program.

This is a great way to develop some skills, get in a unique workout and NOT have to get hit :). Check our schedule to see when classes are available. If you don’t see a class time that works for you ask anyway. […]
