Time to FINALLY make a change

October 24, 2024 by  

It happens to everyone, 

That moment when you realize that it’s time to do something about your weight.

It may happen when you’re looking in the mirror or standing on the scale.

Your first thought is to go on a ‘diet’ but as quickly as that enters your mind the ghosts of a hundred diets past return…along with all the frustration.

Then you wonder, why bother?

The weight will come back, as it always has. Then you’ll be back in front of the mirror as discouraged as ever.

The answer is not to go on another diet.

The answer is to create a vision and make it a priority.

Creating a Vision. What exactly do you wish to accomplish? If it’s weight loss, exactly how much weight? What size will you be when your goal is accomplished? Can you picture what you’ll look and feel like? Take time to clearly visualize what you really want to accomplish. This is your vision.

Make it a Priority. Having a vision is great, but unless you make it a priority it will get lost and fade away. Embrace simple, small changes that will add up to big improvements in your lifestyle. Starting small allows you to stick with it, and to build upon your success. These are your main venues for change:

What You Eat. Let’s face it, most of the foods you eat aren’t the healthiest. Some are downright terrible (the burger and fries you had this weekend). While others are simply excessive (the snacks you eat while watching TV).

The solution to cleaning up your daily diet is NOT to go back on a ‘diet’. In fact, I never want you to go on a ‘diet’ again. (Yes, you heard me right!) Instead I want you to make permanent healthy changes to your eating habits.

Here are some practical examples:

  • Choose salad over chips or fries
  • Don’t add butter to your food
  • Eat fresh produce with every meal
  • Limit desserts to one per week
  • Cut out mindless snacking
  • Drink water, not soda

I don’t expect you to eat a perfect diet every day of the week – that’d be very difficult. You should, however, make MORE healthy choices every day than unhealthy ones.

How You Move. Exercise is a huge component to a healthy lifestyle, and quite frankly you’re not getting enough of it. How often does an entire week go by without you ever lacing up your tennis shoes? Don’t disregard the importance and power of a good workout.

Your new healthy lifestyle means exercising on most days of the week. This may seem tough, but I have the perfect solution – the way we train our clients were created for busy people just like you who only have so much time to dedicate to exercise. We work smarter without overtraining. You only have so much time in a day. Our training sessions are only 45 minutes long!

I understand how hard it is to find the motivation to stay consistent and to push yourself. Make exercise a no-brainer—contact me to get started on a lifestyle enhancing program today.

Here are simple ways to move more:

  • Watch less TV
  • Stretch stiff muscles every day
  • Play at the park with the kids
  • Go for a jog

Your lifestyle is the balance of all the choices that you make regarding your body. Swing the balance in your favor—make a majority of your choices health conscious.

So the next time you’re in front of the mirror you won’t worry about your weight.

You’ll relish it.

Are you ready to transform your lifestyle and body?

Lost 70 lbs

Body Fat 36.4% to 22.6%

Lost 14% Body Fat

Last December, my husband approached me about us setting a goal of getting healthier in 2023. So, we made an appointment to talk to Rob at RobZFitness, who was recommended to him by our primary care physician Dr. Shawn Wallace. Upon meeting with Rob, we both decided it was time to commit to a healthier way of life. With the help of Rob and Taylor, and the support of each other, we have lost about 170 pounds total over the last 8-10 months. I have lost 70 pounds and lost 14% body fat in 10 month. My overall fitness level was at 15% when I started and now its at 88% for women at my age.

Like a lot of women, I have struggled with my weight all my life, especially after kids. This time my weight loss feels different. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the beginning, but I am surprised at how much stronger I’ve become, and the weight seem to just come off, losing an average of 2 pounds a week. I am 5’10 and I haven’t weighed under 200lbs in years. Now I weigh 195. With Rob and Taylor’s encouragement, I am pushing myself to get stronger and doing exercises I never thought I could accomplish. I have a few limitations with my knees but both Rob and Taylor worked around it and still push me to get stronger.  

Rob focused more on strengthening during his sessions and I am lifting amounts I never imagined. Taylor designated Wednesdays as Carolyn’s Core night. With his help, I am doing core exercises that I never thought I was capable of. With the support of Rob, Taylor and my husband who encouraged me all the way, I am stronger and healthier than I’ve been in a long time.  

Thank you for helping me get stronger and healthier.

“Lost 26 Pounds, 13.8% Body Fat, Over 12 Inches”

RobZFitness has changed my mom’s life and our lives too.  My mom’s name is Monica Alvidrez.  She started going to RobZFitness and the results now show! Unlike previous years, today she is more confident in the way she looks and the way she feels about herself.  She looks leaner and stronger more now than I have ever seen her!

She first started going to RobZFitness because my dad was deployed to Iraq.  She thought that is would be nice for her to get a full makeover in physical appearance before he returned home a year later.  So two weeks after he left, my mom started training with Taylor Green.  After developing a supportive eating plan to fit her diet and training needs she started on the path to her tremendous transformation.  After that first training session with Taylor, our lives were drastically changed!  We are now more conscious about what we eat and how much we are exercising. Our daily lives are now centered around workouts and a jumble of different classes she takes at the gym and mom always encourages us to exercise and eat right.

My mom has lost 26 pounds of body fat, increased her lean weight by 10 pounds, lost over 10 inches and improved her body fat percentage 13.8% from 32.6% to 18.8%.  Rob says she is now in better shape than 76% of women her age, up from 11% when she first started.

When my dad got home from Iraq at his mid-tour break he didn’t even recognize her when we picked him up at the airport.  Since Taylor at RobZFitness had helped her change her appearance and get her into shape my dad went back to Iraq determined to get into better shape.  He was not to be outdone by my mom!  It was all in good fun.  Our dad was well surprised and amazed at the changes she and the rest of us had made!  Who would have thought kids would fight over vegetables?  Thank you very much Taylor Green and RobZFitness!   We will miss you Taylor, but we’ll be thinking of you in Germany!

 ” I Felt Like The Average Woman”

“I felt like the average woman, I have a wonderful husband, two exceptional kids and two misbehaved dogs.  I volunteer at the kid’s school; they both play sports and are active within their school and our church.  So what went terribly wrong?  It was June of last year our 12 year anniversary and we were going out for a romantic dinner.  Get dressed up, leave the kids with my brother (Thanks Uncle Carmine).  Wait, before we go, let’s take a picture.  I think, Yeah, great!  I have on make-up, my hair has actually been blow dried and there is a little sun on my cheeks.  Please take my picture!”

“I was looking forward to getting the pictures back.  It had been a while (exactly a year) since my husband and I had a picture taken of just the two of us.  My anticipation turned to consternation.  Who was that chunky person with the sun kissed cheeks?  I flip through a few others and am stunned.  I don’t know if everyone has a “moment” when they know that something must change.  That picture was my moment.  I wasn’t obese; I was average, size 12/14.  I knew where to shop to squeeze into a size 10, with some Spandex.  I had to come to terms with the fact that the person who I saw in my mind was not the person in those pictures.”
“I started thinking, well, I’ll just start running, I have never seen a chubby runner. I’ll play tennis, that’s great exercise.  I could ride my bike around the trail that would be fun.  Instead, it was my knees might start hurting, it is way too hot and I still need a new tube for my bike.  Next.  Now it’s 8:50pm on a Tuesday in July and once again, I have forgotten to start my “diet” on Monday.  I realize that I need someone else helping.  I called Rob at RobZFitness and left a message.  The next day Rob calls me back, sets up an initial consultation. I couldn’t do a push up, a sit up or even get through the first 1/3 of the cardio test. I’m thinking, wait! I’ve played sports since I was in 4th grade all the way thru college, what in the world has happened. I weigh 162 lbs and had 33.8% body fat. 92% of women my age (36) were in better shape than I am.  I’ve got to try this for 3 months.”
“Enter my auspicious trainer.  I don’t think he knew what he was getting into.  There are scheduling issues, sick kids and a traveling husband.  Did I mention I’m a complainer when it comes to working out?  Who knew?  My first month, I lost 10 lbs and 3.4% of body fat.  Needless to say, I was elated.  I stuck with their supportive eating plan, tried to get in cardio 3 days a week.  For me, I required the constant motivation. I needed them to ask me “What did you eat yesterday?” After my first 3 months, my results were awesome. I had even been on vacation, but stuck with the plan. I wanted to continue to see my body change and signed up for another 3 months. While I trained with different trainers  Taylor was my new leader and he jumped right in seamlessly to take over the charge of getting me back to where I wanted to be. I made it through the holidays and still lost weight.   Nowhere in my New Years Resolution did I need weight loss as an objective.  I am now 139 lbs, 24.9% body fat and firmly (without Spanx) wearing a size 6/8.”
“During my personal training sessions at RobZFitness, I have been given the tools that have changed my life. For the rest of my life, my family and I will eat better, exercise more and be healthy. I no longer fear pictures and have actually had our first professional family picture taken in 7 years.  I don’t want to be average, I want to be extraordinary!”

“Tired Of Having No Energy”

Just like a lot of couples that after being married we never were concerned by our weight and health. We were tired of having no energy and clothes that were fitting tighter and tighter. My low back pain and Larry’s high blood pressure were a couple of deciding factors that we had actively do something now before it was too late.

We first met Rob for our initial consultation and it was an eye opener. My weight was 167 lbs. with 30.9% body fat and Larry’s weight was 217 lbs. with 29.3%. Rob was incredibly helpful in explaining our present condition and designing our training regimen to put us on a new path of a healthier lifestyle. Rob assigned us to our trainer Taylor Green from the beginning. If it wasn’t for Rob’s help and training with Taylor, we would not have succeeded the way we did. Taylor and his perseverance in making sure we kept to the exercise plan and doing it correctly is how we knew we were in good hands. Taylor and Rob answered any questions we had, whether it was about low back pain, fatigue, and they made sure that what we ate was right or wrong.

After three months at RobZFitness we have both had a significant weight loss and we feel so much better having an active and healthy lifestyle. My weight is now down to 146 lbs and at 21% body fat. and Larry’s weight is now 178 lbs and 14% body fat. With the knowledge and skill Taylor possesses he also provided us a training regime that we can continue to do on our own 2-3 times a week.

Thank you from the bottom of our healthy hearts for starting us on a journey to a long and healthy lifestyle together.

Tara and Larry Radtke
