  • The TRUTH about Getting Results

    This is the news nobody wants to hear, but it’s the news everyone NEEDS to hear. The people who get results in any area of their life, keep whatever they’re doing as simple as possible. That’s it. You can apply this principle to virtually anything you do: Commit to the fundamentals, and over time you’ll get results. This sounds so simple, so why is it that so few do this? Here’s what I see so often, and it breaks my heart. You can apply this to anything you’re doing, but in this case, I’m using fitness as an example. They’ll try one type of fitness for anywhere from 30-60 days, not see results, and either ....

  • You're the Superhero

    Quite often we’ll hear members at our gym thanking us for some sort of result they recently achieved. It could be a weight loss, fat loss or strength goal. Whatever it is, they’ll say something along the lines of “Thank you so much for getting me there” to which we usually reply with something like, “Hey, you did all the work, we were just standing here” in a somewhat playful manner. While we appreciate you going out of your way to thank us, there’s something very important to understand. A mentor of mine Craig Liebenson shared this analogy with me, and it’s too good not to share. Achieving a goal is not an easy thing to do. It takes ....

  • Mindset Hack

    It’s extremely important to understand something when it comes to your training. You are very rarely going to have a “perfect” training session. In order to have the “perfect” training session, so many things have to go right. You need the right amount of sleep, you need to have eaten well that day, your stress levels have to be under control, your body has to feel good, you need to be motivated, the list goes on and on. The point here is there are so many external factors that we deal with daily that take energy from us, like it or not. This will impact the energy you have for your training sessions, so it’s important to have a full ....

  • How to fight through adversity (and get better from it)

    I had never been more determined and focused on what I was trying to accomplish. I was in my 5 th year at North Central College playing my last year of baseball. I committed to getting good grades and decided not to drink over the course of the entire season (pretty big deal for a college kid). Less than two months into my commitment, my best friend was murdered. With the help of my girlfriend at the time (now wife Kate), I was able to bounce back from the worst downward spiral of my life. Not long after my recovery, we had an opportunity to start our gym. Blinded by ignorance and the excitement of the opportunity, Kate and I dove in headfirst without any experience in business, sales, ....

  • Turn your body into a fat burning machine

    Fat loss is by far the most common goal out of the hundreds of people I talk to every year. “Cardio” is the most common answer I hear when I ask what they are currently doing, and unfortunately, cardio is at the bottom of the list when it comes to fat loss. The answer is strength training, and I’ll tell you why. There are many different benefits to strength training, but today we’re going to focus on why strength training is king when it comes to fat loss. I’m going to keep this as simple and straightforward as possible. When you strength train consistently, you build muscle. There’s a laundry list of benefits when it comes to building ....

  • 5 Tips For Strength Training Over 40 (Part 1/5)

    Tips For Strength Training over 40: Part 1 Make time for mobility The days are over where you can just show up and hop right into a workout. Why do you need mobility? Reason #1: Safety. If you cannot move well through proper ranges of motion, the odds of injury during exercise drastically goes up. Reason #2: Chronic Pain. If your joints don’t move the way they are supposed to, you’ll likely be in some amount of chronic pain. This pain usually ends up in the knees, lower back, shoulders, or some combination of the three. Reason #3: Results. The better quality of movement you have, the better your results can ultimately be. By working through a greater range of ....

  • Do I need to get in shape before joining a gym?

    Joining a new gym is scary. You haven’t done anything in a while, and might feel self conscious about the way you look and current level of fitness. I’m sure thoughts have popped into your head like “I don’t want to embarrass myself” or “I can’t do that” or “everyone else is going to be so much further ahead of me.” There are so many other things that can cause fear and anxiety when looking for a new gym, so I understand why you might be feeling this way. I can relate to these feelings when I signed up for three months at a boxing/mma gym. I had never done any sort of boxing, jiu-jitsu or any martial art ever in my life. I can ....

  • Motivation Part 2

    As a personal trainer, I talk to a lot of people about goals and making changes. Inevitably, motivation is a common topic that comes up. “I just can’t seem to stay motivated” or “I need help with motivation” is something I hear almost every day. Understanding these next few points is critical if you want to become motivated. It starts with a complete mindset shift. The truth is, we’re being misled every single day when it comes to motivation. First, it’s important to understand where motivation comes from. Most people think motivation just appears out of nowhere and that it’s a genetic trait that you either have or you don’t. ....

  • A counterintuitive way to get motivated

    If you feel yourself starting to lose motivation, here's some unsolicited advice that may help you get through it. 

 This year I made a promise to myself that I would get back to my disciplined ways, and so far it's going well. The commitment I've made to myself is to be up at 3:30 in the morning Monday-Friday to either finish or work on my highest priority. The reality is, with a 9 month old son, and all of the things I need to do throughout the day, I really don't have any other option if I want to hit my goals. I've been more productive in the last few weeks than the previous few months, and I can feel the momentum building. There's one thing I've ....

  • I QUIT

    I had been playing baseball since the time I could walk, and there I was in my junior year of college… quitting. The reason I quit was so simple it makes me sick just thinking about it. I quit because the circumstances weren’t ideal for me at the time. I was having some trouble dealing with some family stuff, and I didn’t particularly like the way the head coach managed the team. So I quit. About 1 week in to quitting, I began thinking about what I had done, and exactly who I was quitting on. The first and most obvious answer was my team. I’m sure many of them were dealing with similar circumstances, but they didn’t quit. I did. Then I started thinking ....

I have been at the gym for 3-4 yrs now. Honestly can say its been the best I have ever been to. I would go to the gym on my own but never knew what to do. All the coaches here are so helpful and everything is right there and all you have to do is do it! I know the time I am there I will get a great work out each time. Even during the pandemic they adapted to everyone's needs and made workouts for us via zoom where we could all come together like we did at the gym and work out. If you are looking to start at a gym and want expert knowledge regardless of what level you are starting at then this is the gym for you. The coaches the other gym goers are all there for you to help and support you on your journey. Highly recommend it.

In addition to workouts (that are catered to each individual's needs), they offer nutrition advice, tips and tricks videos, workout challenges, nutritional programs to lose weight, nutrition advice, meal tips, training advice, supplements, a great protein shake bar!! They provide everything you need for physical, nutritional and mental improvement. EVERYONE - staff and patrons - are encouraging and motivating. The positive vibes only atmosphere allows for all fitness levels and all ages to fit in with every program they offer without making you feel self-conscious. The owners truly care about staff and clients and it shows every single day in multitudes of ways! You will find that trainers are far more educated than most any other gym. After each workout, we leave feeling uplifted and accomplished thanks to the owners, the trainers and the clients!

BMFT is one of the BEST small group fitness training gyms. the coaches are all invested and supportive of all their members and I immediately felt welcomed. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about all areas of fitness and are very professional. This gym, and the structure of the small groups, easily allows all fitness levels to participate, be challenged and to improve quickly. The coaches will suggest modifications if needed and are always positive and encouraging. The classes are never repetitive, structured so you are using different equipment and time sequences so it always feels like a new workout. BMFT keeps me motivated to keep working towards my goals!
