July 2019
Why did you start?
How many years ago did you really start? Really think back, why did that first day happen? Over the years we have seen many start and they share their motivating story with us. We have seen some common reasons. Many are inspired by someone they see that are near them. It could be a spouse, family or friend that passes the confidence to suceed. Some are invited to try or join a class, go lift weights togehter or go for a jog. Some finally feel they have time from kids, school, work, etc to get back to themselves. Lastly the scarest, some are told they better now as their healthy is getting in the danger level.
Whatever the reason, it often is inspired by someone that had the courage to care to support their journey beginnings. When they are ready, they often let you in. But in some cases, someone may need a little push. How could you help someone take the first step?

Metabolic Testing
This testing is something I oversaw for 12yrs at TFP but are now choosing to contract it out so we can focus on training but it will continue to be a foundation of TFP coaching both Endurance Athletes & common fitness people looking to feel well and push off disease. A bonus, they offer a full body Dexascan to tell you your fat, muscle & bone levels in all areas of your body.
How it helps us: -we know HR zones are right -we know cal/min in each zone, loss over hours -we know what fuel you are losing and know need to maintain energy -we know what is the potential fat burning %, if below, the urgency to make change for to reduce fatigue, injury & bonking -we know the correlation to future health if low fat burning is the result
Here are the options we have set up for TFPers:
2 Months of Basic Training Plan + 2 Tests = $560 2 Months of Basic Nutrition Coaching + 2 Tests = $400 2 Personal Training Hour Sessions + 2 Tests = $270 Monthly Metabolic Clinic + 2 Tests = $220
Next Clinic is Dec 16th 5pm.
