Phelps Fit Men

 

FIT MEN

“Through strength, youth is found.”

 

110lb Incline Dumbbell Presses. Incline Bar Rows with 155 lbs. Hip Thrusts with 225 lbs. Lat Pulldowns with 180 lbs. Wall Squats with 100lb dumbbells….the list goes on and on. As these impressive weights are being lifted under perfect control, we often find ourselves shaking our heads in amazement at just how strong our favorite group of clients at the gym has become. Well, you may be saying to yourself, while those weights are impressive, surely every college football team has a plethora of guys who could crush those weights! Hold your horses, we are NOT talking about our college football players (sorry guys you are our 2nd favorite)! What makes these lifts so impressive is that they are coming from men who are between the ages of 45-65 years old! We have an ever growing number of dads privately training with us at the gym, and nearly all of them have the same goals, history, and story to tell. While not all of them start with the same level of strength, they all experience great results!

 Even Dads can get jacked, it's never too late!

“I need…”

An enormous part of our job is to educate our clients. When consulting with prospective dads to workout with us privately, many of the conversations start very similarly. You see, most of these guys are HIGHLY successful, motivated individuals who are used to being the boss! Initially, it is very hard for some of them to relinquish control to someone else, so naturally our first meeting usually starts with them telling us what their goals are, which is fine. However, invariably, most of them will begin to tell us how they are going to get there! The issue with this is that as their trainers, it is up to us to educate them and set forth the appropriate course of action in order to meet their goals. A sample dialogue might go something like:

Prospective Dad:  “I need to get leaner, lose weight, boost my metabolism and feel more mobile. Basically I want to feel younger! But I don’t want to get too bulky, I need really light weights for high reps so I can tone. And I need you to prescribe me a cardio routine to do on my own, the weight really flies off when I do my jogging.”

PTS Trainer: “Sir, those sound like great goals, but with all due respect, you need to hand over the reins to me when it comes to deciding what approach we need to take to reach your goals. Just as you are an expert in your field, I am an expert in mine, and part of you hiring me for my services it to put trust in me that I know what to do to help you reach your goals. Should you continue on with me, we will follow a progressive strength training routine that improves your cardiovascular health, muscular strength, and while not making you bulky, will increase your metabolism from a general increase in lean tissue. You say you want to feel younger? I firmly believe that strength training is the fountain of youth you have long been after. By getting stronger you will have less stress, more productivity at your job, and a metabolism that has finally woken up!”

Prospective Dad:  “Oh ok, well I do that on my own already, I have a gym membership and weights in my basement, so isn’t it all the same if I just do it on my own?”

PTS Trainer: “You see, proper strength training is an art. With our supervision and guidance, you will be pushing your body to new limits, trying new things, and doing all of the above SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. Here you will TRAIN. When left to your own devices, well, that is just working out. Besides, how many times have you worked out in the last 4 weeks? What kind of split are you on? Are you getting stronger?”

Prospective Dad (with sheepish look): “Well, things have been busy lately so I haven’t worked out much. And I do tend to do the same thing…ok, when are you available, I would like to set up a trial workout.”

PTS Trainer: “That’s more like it! Let me grab my schedule, I am sure we can find a time convenient to your busy schedule.”

 

 


 You can’t do it alone!                         

Studies have shown that 95% of the population hates to exercise! It is for this reason that we firmly believe that you NEED to be in here with a trainer to ensure that you are taking the proper measures to get stronger, healthier, and into great shape. We have seen what most dads do on their own, and it isn’t pretty! If there is any working out done at all, it is usually 3 sets of 10 on the bench press with the same weight you always use, some haphazard alternating db curls, zero mobility or soft tissue work, of course no leg training, and not surprisingly, no results to speak of! Yes, many of the chain gyms will give you a $10/month gym membership, and as far as we are concerned it is a steal because most dads we know either won’t use it, or won’t use it properly enough to get results. 

 

 

 

You can't do it alone!

With our programming, all dads receive a custom designed program suited to their age, abilities, and goals. All dads go through a boatload of soft tissue, mobility, and flexibility work so that they FEEL better when they AREN’T at the gym. Our strength training uses a variety of different tools, from ropes and chains, to machines, to standard free weight movements. It is intense, fun, and most of all, rewarding. In fact, to a man, all of our dads are shocked at both the sense of accomplishment it gives them, and how good it feels to get stronger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It always feels good to get stronger! 


It’s your health.

In a nutshell, aside from the obvious strength benefits, here are just a few of the many benefits of our private training program for working dads:

                   -  Increased bone density.

                   -  Decreased blood pressure and improved cardiovascular health.

                   -  Increase in lean muscle tissue, leading to an enhanced metabolism and decrease in body fat.

                   - Dramatic decrease in stress, improving work production as well as personal relationships.

                   - Improved sleep quality, as well as an Increase in energy  levels throughout the day

                    - A general feeling of “being younger” and improved quality of life.


We  have said it before, and will say it again: How much is your health worth to you? Can you put a price tag on being stronger, cardiovascularly fit and living a longer, more quality life? 

Look, we know for many men, it is a tough pill to swallow to come in here and face the fact that you are not what you used to be. We get that. However ignoring the situation isn’t going to change anything. In fact, it is going to make it worse.  Only YOU can do something about it, and have the courage to start something new. By ignoring your health and strength, you are allowing yourself to become old. I know of NOTHING that combats the aging process like proper strength training under a supervised setting. But don’t take it from us, here are just a few testimonials of dads who have trained with us:

“Phelps training changed my life. It is a gym that brought me from 260 to 185 in six months. My stress level went way down and my health is fantastic. The boys at Phelps always keeps it fresh with new exercises and I am in better shape at 50 then I was at 30! Thank you Phelps!”

-Jim B., 50

“I would not work out on my own because I always found something else to do with my "down" time. Matt Phelps works both the mind and the body.  Through time our bodies change and our mind tells us that this "change" is part of the aging process.  It is not!!  I have moved inches off my waist and chin to my arms, shoulders and chest.  Matt's approach is simple...If you want to socialize...go somewhere else.  If you want to tone your mind and body with a nuts and bolts approach, stop by and watch us older boys burn it up.”

-Tim N., 54

 

“I began training with Brian Matthews at Phelps 4 months ago and have never felt better. My strength,flexibility,and cardiovascular endurance have all increased while still achieving a 20lb weight loss. Brian always makes sure the workouts are always very challenging;, they are never the same, and I have been able to schedule the workouts around my schedule.  Go in and try a session and you will keep going back . Thanks again!

- Brian B., 42

 

 

 

“Approaching 50 years old I was in OK shape, but lived with chronic back pain. I walked into PTS two years ago and embarked on a whole new fitness concept designed around my need to reduce back pain, increase strength and become more mobile. In a nutshell I was taken out of my comfort zone and was pushed to a whole new fitness level. Whether it is a 38 mile mountain bike race, or skiing for 5-6 days in row, the results are undeniable: I have more strength, a much higher level of conditioning and most importantly, my back pain has been reduced dramatically!”

-Jim H., 51

 If you are a dad do yourself a favor, and start training! Better yet, do it with us! Please contact Matt Phelps at , or call (518) 860-0947. We can help you reach these same goals!

Fit man would puke within 5 minutes of training with Phelps. Doing P90x for a magazine does not make the fittest man.
