  • Personal Training in Los Gatos - Mint Condition Fitness - The Hidden Cost of Avoiding your Aches and Pains

    The Hidden Cost of Avoiding your Aches and Pains


    The Hidden Cost of Avoiding your Aches and Pains
    “Push through it.” “Walk it off!" “No pain, no gain...” Take it from our professional experience as coaches: that kind of talk can be dangerous. Our bodies are set up to communicate a lot of things to us, and one of the most direct ways of getting a message across is pain. Think about it: when you accidentally touch something that's too hot, you instinctively pull your hand back to stop a much worse injury from occurring. That's self-preservation at work. Why then do so many people try to avoid their aches and pains when it comes to fitness? ....

    [VIDEO BLOG] How to Get Twice the Results in Half the Time


    [VIDEO BLOG] How to Get Twice the Results in Half the Time
    We all know that slow and steady wins the race, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to see results quickly. After all, motivation is a huge piece of the fitness puzzle. The more you like what you see in the mirror, or the better your pants fit, the more reason you have to keep showing up at the gym. With that in mind, in this week's vlog, Coach Bradley is going to teach you how to get the most out of the time you put in. Three things to remember:
    Multi-Joint Moves Are Key Isolating a single muscle group (think bicep curls) isn't always the best use of your time. Focusing more on ....

    Why Cardio Alone is Not Enough for Weight Loss


    Why Cardio Alone is Not Enough for Weight Loss
    Cardio exercise is an important piece of the weight loss puzzle, but it's still only a piece. In recent years, however, more and more people have become convinced that you can only lose weight through cardio exercise. You'll often hear people throwing around ideas like "get on the treadmill," when offering up weight loss advice. But here's the truth: You could run all day and still undo all of your weight loss efforts by overeating. Furthermore, if you launch into cardio without proper strength training, you really risk injuring yourself. That's certainly not going to help with ....

DROPPED 8 PANT SIZES! 

"I decided I needed to start a fitness program because I realized I had gained an awful lot of weight. My blood pressure was out of control and my eating was out of control, so I decided to come back to a program that I knew would work.

Since joining, my results have been absolutely amazing! I went from a size 14 women’s pants to a 6, I lost lots of inches, and I’ve lost about 14 pounds so far; Mint Condition is really working for me.

I love the philosophy that Mint Condition has – it’s both body and mind! And my trainer really gives me that boost when I need it and is so encouraging, and that’s why I come here – because they are #1!

To someone on the fence about joining Mint Condition Fitness, I would say “Do it!” It’s hard; when I first started coming, I thought, “I can’t believe I’m going to do this three days a week and make this commitment,” but once you do make the commitment, it is completely life-changing. It’s not a diet, it’s a change of lifestyle, and I would say absolutely go for it! You’ll feel great, and you’ll love it."

Achievements:

  • Weight: Lost 14 lbs and still going!
  • Measurements: Went from size 14 to size 6 in women’s pants.
  • More confident
  • Increased energy
  • Has a completely different perspective on eating
  • Looks forward to her workouts

OUT OF PAIN + 25 LBS LIGHTER

"At the age of 46, I had stopped working out for 4 years (kids, work, life). My back was killing me, my knees hurt and I was on a strict "see food" diet. I saw food and I ate it. I joined Mint Condition to find the guy I was in my 30's. Active, eating healthy and working towards fitness goals.

In the 5 months I have been at Mint, I have lost 25 lbs, I have found the person I used to be and feel like I accomplished something every time I walk out the doors at Mint.

The staff is amazing. The personal trainers there tailor a program specific of your needs and goals, they focus on you whether you are trying to get back into fitness, losing weight or recovering from an injury. If you want results, look no further than Mint Condition Fitness."

Achievements:

  • Lost 30.5 lbs. in 8 months
  • Lost 10% body fat
  • Performed 100 lb. Turkish Get Up
  • Feels stronger than when he was 30
  • Went from a 10 second plan to 90 seconds

LOST 18 LBS + FEELING CONFIDENT!

"I decided to start with Mint Condition because I wasn’t happy with the way I looked and hadn’t been happy with it for a long time. I was called fat twice, and it hurt. I needed something...I needed to make a change, and that's why I came to Mint.

Since joining Mint, I’ve lost a lot of pounds and inches! Pants that I never thought I’d fit into again, fit! Clothes feel better, I feel better, I feel confident. That's the biggest reward - self-confidence and self-esteem.

What I like best about the program is the accountability. I have a set appointments, and it's become part of my weekly routine. I look forward to my workouts; I know how much better and stronger I’ll feel after each one, and if I don't come in, the only person it's going to injure is me. I won't be able to get the results I want without my trainer and the support I get here.

If you're thinking about joining Mint, I would say come in for the consultation. I knew once I saw the brochure and met with Colin that this was what I needed. Even just coming in the doors and watching how the session and facilities work, you get the feeling this place isn't like and other gym you've been in. You’ll be hooked in no time."

Achievements:

  • Weight: Lost 18 pounds of fat
  • Measurements: Lost 3 ½” at the waist
  • Body Fat: Lost 8% body fat
  • Increased upper and lower body strength
  • Improved knowledge of nutrition and built a better relationship with food
  • Boosted energy and confidence!
