Read it one more time. Say it to yourself again! If you want something done or something to change you have to do something to make it happen. You don’t get anywhere by not doing anything about it. Our challenges this month might be a good way to help you make a change! 31 minutes of cardio for 31 days and/or squatober (more details coming). #motivation #motivationalquotes #gym #gymmotivation #gymlifestyle #gymlife #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #nutrition #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #health #williamsburg #williamsburgva #maxfit24

It’s okay to rest! It’s okay to take the time you need to refuel your tank. This does not mean you quit! Sometimes we need to rest so we can be successful in reaching our goals. Without that you might find yourself being burnt out. Don’t quit when you’re tired, just give yourself a minute to regroup. #williamsburgvirginia #maxfit24 #gym #motivation #gymmotivation #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #health #justdoit #selfcare #rest #fitness #fitnessmotivation
Coach @kareem_selwaeh is ready for @sorinex_squatober .

Starting Thursday we will be posting the workouts and participate in this month long squat challenge.
-
The goal isn’t all heavy lifts and max outs. It’s about not having an excuse to do some form of fitness. These workouts aren’t long but they are your motivation to do something active everyday.
-
As the days get colder and staying in your warm bed sounds so much better but hold yourself accountable!
We are all in this together!
Happy lifting 💪

Say it louder for the people in the back! 👏 This is so important to remember. How many of you start your fitness journey because you don’t like the way you look? We may start it because we want to change a few things but always practice loving yourself through it all. Be healthy and active because you love your body and want what’s best for it. Doing this will help you keep a sustainable workout routine and habits. With this mindset, good things will happen physically and mentally. #motivation #motivationalquotes #williamsburg #fitness #gym #gymmotivation #loveyourself #justdoit #nutrition #selflove #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #health #mindset #mentalhealth #workout #workoutmotivation
Some days are better than others. There are times that we feel unmotivated and just don’t want to do it. When we feel this it’s important to remember why we started and the purpose behind it. What is it that keeps you going on days you feel like giving up? What do you need to do for yourself to keep going? You got this Maxfit Fam!

Trainer spotlight✨
This is Kareem! He’s been a trainer with us for a while now and we are lucky to have him! Kareem graduated from Radford University with a bachelors degree in exercise science. Currently he is a competitive athlete in Olympic weightlifting. His coaching and training career started when he was just 18 years old while earning his second-degree black belt in karate. He says this is when he found a desire to help achieve their goals. Soon after he joined a CrossFit gym, started lifting on his own, then competed heavily in CrossFit. In 2015 he became an athletic performance coach and personal trainer.
Kareem has worked with college athletes, as a class instructor, and coaching at a private gym. Through his years of training experience Kareem has worked with a wide range of individuals on different physical spectrums and is able to adopt a coaching style to fit his clients needs.
“My coaching philosophy revolves around 3 mentalities I set for myself and expect from my clients, which are effort, accountability, and respect. To me a coach should be someone who makes an effort each and every session to help their client achieve new goals all while setting a new training minimum. As a coach we should also be accountable to the client and respecting them as an athlete or individual.”
Kareem says his goal as a coach is to help his clients achieve a healthier lifestyle and is excited to help change people’s lives! You can learn more about Kareem on our website. If you are interested in training with Kareem at Maxfit send us a message or give us a call! He also teaches our FREE class every SUNDAY @ 11!

Tomorrow we have a fresh new year and also when many of our one personal goals begin. But as you start to write down your goals use the SMART guide to help make your goal more achievable by following this outline.
S- specific, make it one one thing not a broad area (ex: lose 10lbs not lose weight)
-
M- measurable, can you keep a track or a time line to show progress?
-
A- attainable, is it something you as an individual can achieve
-
R- realistic, it’s it humanly possible?
-
T-timely, goals should be a process, even small goals. Try to see if your goals can be achieved in a couple of months, 6 months or the end of the year.
-
Make sure to write down your goal in the first floor gym!! Let us know, we are here to help and seeing your goal on the board is a good reminder of why your here!
-
Good luck and happy lifting 💪💪
