"I have always worked out hard, but due to a knee injury I had to find a workout that was kinder to my body. I stumbled upon The Exercise Coach and at first I was skeptical that two 20 minute workouts a week would be enough to give me the results I wanted. After 3 months, I was stronger with much better muscle definition. My Coach Jim, took the time to understand my fitness goals so that the workout program fits my unique needs. He also ensures my workouts are challenging, with lots of motivational coaching, encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
The data-driven machines track my progress and show graphs of past performance. The Exercise Coach also has a machine that scans your body and tracks your weight, body fat, and lean mass so that you can stay on target. The Metabolic Comeback Nutrition Challenge ensures you are eating a balanced healthy diet to compliment the workouts.
All in all, the facility is super clean, the coaches are wonderful, and I feel great!"

"Wow – how wonderful to be back at The Exercise Coach and be able to participate in another Metabolic Comeback Challenge! My body and mind feel so much better being able to work out consistently with great routines and coaches. I feel so much better and do not feel frumpy anymore. The weight has come off and my body feels stronger. They have given me knowledge to continue to eat healthy and the importance of adding some kind of exercise to your daily routine. When I am not able to be here I know I can go on a walk confidently and keep the weight off. I do not have the pain in my hips or knees anymore. Thank you to The Exercise Coach for being here and helping me be a better, healthier me!"

"I have been a member of The Exercise Coach for the last 3 months and I can already see the difference in my body. I was an avid boot camper, 5 days a week workout. Now I only have to workout twice a week for 20-minutes. I am seeing great results in less time.
Since I started with The Exercise Coach and changed my eating habits, I no longer need blood pressure medicine. I can also see the fat melting off my thighs. I feel stronger. I am working out smarter, without worrying about any injuries. The computerized machines are challenging. I love that they provide immediate comparison feedback. I also enjoy that the machines cater specifically to me and create custom workouts for my body.
If you want an effective workout in the least amount of time, visit The Exercise Coach. It is worth the investment in you. Try it out. The coaches are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and nice. The atmosphere is wonderful and exceptionally clean."

The Myth of Spot Reduction is believing you can work muscles in a certain area of the body to reduce the body fat in that area. This is like saying that you can take a bucket, walk up to an inground swimming pool, and scoop water only out of the deep end. It doesn't work that way. You can empty the pool by draining the water, but the shallow end will be emptied before the deep end. In this episode, learn the "First On, Last Off" principal when it comes to body shape, and how the combination of whole-effort exercise + whole-food nutrition approach will lead to not only a healthy rebuilding of your body from the inside out, but a dramatic improvement to your overall health and disease risk.
