We love a good client success story! And we have so many to share!!
Success is defined differently for so many people.
Listen to Heather's story about her clients that had issues getting up off the floor.
Getting up off of the floor becomes a critical life skill the older you get.
You'd be surprised how many people we work with that cannot get down and up off the floor.
That is one of the many functional activities we practice at The Training Toole in Ocala, Florida.
We would love to help you, too! Reach out to us via Info@TheTrainingToole.com to find out how you can work with us. Don't live in Ocala? We are also available for online training!

With the explosion of Online Coaching, we are seeing more and more people who are purchasing and following plans they are buying from online coaches.
When someone is selling a program to a large number of people, many times, they are selling a cookie cutter plan.
Cookie cutter plans do not take into account your goals, your needs, your likes and dislikes. They also will not typically produce the very best results.
Plans for fitness, nutrition, running, or any other physical activity that isn't specific to you and your needs will not guide you to the best results.
So let's get those BEST results! Work with us to get that specific program that will help you get awesome results and help you stay accountable.

Having an actual Workout Plan means that you have a Program that is specific to your body needs, your goals and the way your body is responding to the plan.
It's not just a bunch of random exercises thrown together.
Sure, exercising is great for our health, BUT by just exercising, you are not going to get the best results.
If you are struggling with not getting the results you want, it may very well lie in your Programming.
This is where a Fitness Professional can help you speed track your results. At The Training Toole, we understand how to develop and design a Fitness Program that gets amazing results.

You've heard the old saying...."Excuses are like armpits. Everyone has them and they all stink."
We also love the Mario Forleo quote, "Excuses are like the roach. motel but for dreams."
And the ever popular Arnold Schwarzenegger, "You can have results or excuses, but not both."
As Fitness Professionals, we have heard every excuse in the book for skipping a workout, from I didn't set my alarm to I have so much to do.
The truth is, if you always put your health on the back burner and take care of everything and everyone over yourself, you are always telling yourself that you and your health don't matter.
We know that consistency is the key to reaching your goals, to making changes and to staying the course. You have to show up for yourself. Because in the end, you really are the only one who can do it for you.
Have a little laugh at some of the comical cancellation reasons we've heard.

Working out is just one piece of the wellness puzzle.
Recovery work needs to be a part of your fitness plan, as well.
This includes stretching, mobility work, yoga, Self Myofascial Release (SMR) with tools like foam rollers, lacrosse balls, tennis balls and hand held rollers.
Rest is a part of that as well. Muscles build during our sleep so making sure to get between 7-9 hours of quality sleep a night is important.
Want some guidance? Amber has Yoga, Stretching and Mobility videos in her On Demand Library HERE.

Metabolism is just basically how your body utilizes energy.
Some people believe that when we age, our metabolism slows down. However, a recent study showed that from 20 - 60, our metabolism rates stay about the same.
This leads us to see that inactivity...the slowing down of the person, is what is more in tuned with why we gain weight as we age.
Amber mentions the BMR calculator and you can find that HERE.
