(And What Will)
Maybe you’ve been here before: standing in a crowded gym in January, unsure where to start, surrounded by equipment you don’t quite know how to use. You’re motivated, but after a few weeks, the doubts creep in.
Am I doing this right? Why aren’t I seeing results yet? Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Every year, millions of people start their fitness journeys only to stop a few weeks later. And it’s not because they’re lazy or unmotivated—it’s because they’ve been set up to fail.
Have you seen the Planet Fitness ad comparing their 75-pound dumbbell to an “overpriced competitor’s” dumbbell? The idea is simple: 75 pounds is 75 pounds, so why pay more?
It’s clever, but it misses the point. The value isn’t in the dumbbell. It’s in knowing how to use it to transform your body and your life.
What gyms like Planet Fitness are really selling you is cheap access to equipment. And if all you need is access to a rack of weights, that’s fine. But if you’ve ever found yourself spinning your wheels, trying to figure it out on your own, only to quit a few weeks later, then you know the problem isn’t the price. It’s the lack of guidance.
Every January, I see people with the best intentions hit the gym. They’re excited, motivated, and ready to change. But by week three, the doubt sets in.
And here’s the real heartbreak: every failed attempt chips away at their self-esteem. Every time they don’t succeed, they walk away feeling like fitness just isn’t for them, or worse, that they’ve failed again.
So let me ask you: What’s the cost to your self-esteem, to your physical health, to your mental health, if you don’t succeed this time?
Because it’s not just about the cost of a gym membership or wasted effort. It’s about the emotional toll of believing you can’t win.
Jackie was one of those people. She had been stuck in the cycle of trying and failing for years, and her challenges were greater than most.
Jackie suffers from a medical condition that reduces her body’s ability to absorb protein from her diet. This meant that traditional diets didn’t work for her, no matter how hard she tried to follow them. She’d tried countless exercise programs, only to find herself so sore after even light workouts that she could barely move for a week.
When she came to us, she was skeptical. She’d heard promises before and felt burned every time. She wasn’t convinced we could help her, but she decided to give it one last shot.
During Jackie’s consultation, she shared her struggles, and we knew she needed a completely tailored approach. With our background in supplementation, nutrition, and training, we dug into how her condition affected her body’s response to protein and exercise.
We recommended a specific supplement to help her absorb the protein her body needed to recover and repair. Then, we designed a gentle training program to ease her into exercise without triggering debilitating soreness.
By the end of her first week, Jackie was astonished. She said, “I’ve done way less exercise than this before and had way more soreness and pain. Why didn’t my doctors ever tell me about these supplements or how to exercise for my condition?”
Her trial turned into a commitment. With the right supplements, a personalized nutrition plan, and a tailored training approach, Jackie not only started seeing results but also began to feel hopeful and excited about her future.
When you walk into Freedom Strength and Fitness, you’re not just renting equipment. You’re investing in a system designed to help you succeed.
Here’s what coaching offers that you’ll never get from a low-cost gym membership:
A Clear Path to Success:
No more guessing. No more jumping from one workout to the next hoping it works. A coach creates a plan tailored to your goals, your body, and your lifestyle.
Support When You Need It Most:
Those days when you feel like quitting? That’s when coaching makes the biggest difference. Your coach is there to keep you accountable, encourage you, and remind you why you started.
Confidence and Competence:
Strength training can feel intimidating. A coach teaches you proper technique, so you feel confident in what you’re doing and avoid injuries that derail your progress.
Real Results That Stick:
Coaching isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about creating lasting change.
If you’re just looking for the cheapest option, that’s fine. But ask yourself this: how many times have you tried—and failed? How much time and money have you spent on gym memberships, diets, and programs that didn’t work?
More importantly, what’s the cost to your self-esteem, to your confidence, and to your physical and mental health if you keep failing to achieve the results you want?
The truth is, you don’t need another cheap membership or another 75-pound dumbbell. You need someone to show you the way.
Jackie’s story shows that even the most challenging situations can be overcome with the right guidance. You don’t have to keep struggling on your own. Let us create a plan tailored to your goals, your challenges, and your unique story.
