Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that we updated the “Calendar of Events” page so it is a little easier to see what events we have coming down the pike. You can click on each event link for details, and if there is a sign up involved you can get a direct link to that page as well.
Let us know what you think!
It’s coming for you, are you ready?

That I have discovered a way to predict your potential for injury? That we could pinpoint where the injury was likely to happen? Furthermore what if I told you once we discovered that information we had a strategy for avoiding the injury altogether?
Sounds pretty good, right?
I mean that is training gold!
That is what the FMS and Smart Group Training is all about.
It’s not about finding your weaknesses, it’s about finding your potential for injury and mitigating it the best way possible.
Years of research show that if a client scores greater than 14 the potential for injury is low. We also know that scores under 14 indicate that, if not corrected, there is not just a potential for, but a likelihood of, injury down the road. We don’t know when, we just know that odd are it will happen.
Let me put it this way.
Your mechanic tells you to change your oil every 3,000 miles. This is preventative maintenance. We change the oil now because we know if we don’t that engine will wear much faster and blow up at some point.
Same thing goes for your body. When we discover movement patterns that are likely to cause you to “blow up” sometime in the future we can spend a little time in preventative maintenance now to try to avoid it.
I know that I would rather spend 10 minutes getting screened than 10 month in rehab.
Schedule your FMS now and save yourself a world of hurt later.

Concord, NH based physical preparation coach Dean Carlson becomes the first person in New Hampshire to achieve the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification.
Get Fit NH is pleased to announce that co-owner and coach Dean Carlson has successfully completed the rigorous requirements for the successful completion of the industry’s premier nutrition designation.
Dr. John Berardi, founder of Precision Nutrition says “The goal is simple: to teach elite fitness professionals how to become elite nutrition coaches.” He further explains “Once you can consistently influence your client’s nutrition, your ability to deliver results increases 3-fold, at least.”
As co-owner of Get Fit NH, a 3-time “Best Gym” winner, and a trainer who has helped hundreds of members look and feel great, Coach Carlson knew he could deliver even better results, and be a better coach, by continuing his education. “I am proud of earning my Level 1 certification with Precision Nutrition” he said. “Dr. Berardi’s work was instrumental when I was 80+ pounds overweight, and I knew that further study into cellular biology, digestion and metabolism would help me better understand how to help our clients get even quicker results.”
While thoroughly covering the science of nutrition, the Precision Nutrition Certification ensures its graduates can do something even more important: Teach people at all levels practical and realistic nutrition that gets results.
“All the knowledge in the world is useless unless it can be communicated easily to our members and then implemented” Carlson explains.

Hey guys, we are excited to have finalized our plans for our indoor rock climbing expedition with our friends over at Evolution Rock and Fitness! Thanks to Coach Meagan for doing the ground work to make this happen.
Join us on Saturday April 13th from 9:00am to 11:00am for a fantastic morning of climbing fun. There will be climbing instructors there to help us learn proper technique and navigate our way up the walls. Seeing as I am not too found of heights (to put in mildly) it could be quite entertaining for y’all. 🙂
It’s very important you get your registration and payment in ASAP to secure a spot. We need to have a final head count by Monday April 1st, so don’t delay. It would be a whole lot of fun to have about 50 of us take the place over! 🙂
Registration Procedure
You will need to register and pay with Get Fit NH (form below) as well as sign Evolution’s online waiver. If you wait to sign the waiver, the world will turn off it’s axis and we will fall into the sun (or something like that).
Date: Saturday April 13, 2013
Time: 9:00am – 11:00am
Cost: $25.00
Registration Deadline Monday April 1, 2013
Registration is closed – we’ll do it again!
It is hard to believe that we are almost through the first phase of training for 2013.
Crazy Talk!
As scheduled, we will be taking our first recovery week of the year March 25th – March 29th.
We will have the opportunity to see you that week however, as we are excited to start our Spring Seminar Series with Dr. Laura Jones on Tuesday evening, which you definitely don’t want to miss!
For those clients who have joined us during this phase of training, the concept of recovery as part of your training plan is probably new, so we have put together some resources for you to get a handle on it.
The most important thing for you to understand that proper recovery is critical to your long term progress – when you don’t recover properly, you don’t make progress, it really is as simple as that.
Don’t try to beat the system – many have tried, all have failed!
Your body will not atrophy, you will not get fat, and you will not lose your fitness by taking a week of regular training off.
What you will do is allow your mind and body some extra rest, and you will come back refreshed and ready to kill the next phase of training!
Take a few minutes to read the following posts that explain further the “why’s” and “how’s” of recovery, and of course your coaches are glad to answer any questions.

Recovery Is Where The Magic Happens
Rest, Recover and Regenerate, It’s Not Optional
Seems like the rage these days is “no commitment” deals. Seems like every kind of business these days has some kind of offer out there that requires “no commitment”.
And while this might surprise you, I get it.
It appeals to something in all of us, kind of a “get out of jail free” card. I’ll give it a whirl and if it doesn’t work then I’m out.
Don’t tie me down, don’t lock me in.
Now I am all for letting someone try your product or service and make sure it is something they want or like.
At Get Fit NH we offer a free two-week tryout, but there is a difference.
We give you two weeks to make sure.
Make sure of what?
That you can and will be committed to your training with us.
It’s why we go to the lengths we do to make sure you are here and training when you said you would be. To educate and give you the tools you need to reach your goals. To give you every chance to succeed.
Because I have been there.
I don’t use this word often, but I am going to use it here, because it’s true.
I have failed many times in my life.
It used to frustrate my parents from the time I was 11 or 12. I would never follow through and see something to the end.
It could be a model airplane that I left half done. Or a club that I belonged to that I just didn’t “feel like” doing anymore. Or not getting as good of grades as I could have because I didn’t want to put the work in.
From the time I got out of the service until I was in my early thirties I never stayed at a job more than 3 years, for this reason or that. I left of my own free will, but that’s not really the point. The point is I didn’t stick with it.
As I look back over the years it occurs to me that for whatever reason I was never really afraid of failing. Heck I was too cocky to think I could fail at anything, even when I was in the middle of a free fall.
What I was afraid of…
was Success.
If you look inside I suspect you may have had similar fears at one time or another in your life.
Because succeeding can be really scary.
Your whole life can change.
And while we may think we know what we want, the closer we get to actually realizing the goal the more we are afraid of what is going to happen if we actually get there.
As in “What’s Next?”
Think about it.
Sometimes we have “goals” that drive us our whole lives, and we are so consumed with them they become our whole Raison d’être.
And sometimes it is harder to let go of the goal than to actually achieve it.
But it doesn’t really matter what is holding you back, what matters is that we learn to ignore it, to persevere, to find a way to keep pushing forward.
It may be a hard truth.
But life requires commitment.
There isn’t much worth achieving that doesn’t require a little sucking it up, getting over not feeling like it, and sometimes just slogging through.
It’s not all that popular a concept these days. But there is very little in life that gets handed to you.
I am glad I finally figured that out, and am grateful for the patience and support of my wife Nancy through quite a few wasted years.
And believe me, I don’t have it all figured out.
But I do know that when I stay the course, when I am committed, it makes a huge difference on my outlook, even when reaching the goal takes longer than I want.
The great wartime leader Winston Churchill knew of which he spoke when he said
“Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.”

Just wanted to let you know that as promised we sent a donation to the American Heart Association as we celebrated “American Heart Healthy Month”.
A total of $255 was sent to help the AHA research and combat heart disease, so thanks for being part of that important cause.
If you didn’t get a chance to download the “Heart Healthy Cardio Program”, take advantage of your last opportunity for awhile and click here!
Get Fit NH is excited to announce our Spring Seminar Series, featuring Dr. Laura Jones and Dr. Amanda Hegnauer of Whole Health Concord. Anytime we have a chance to hear these two pros speak it is a treat, so mark the dates on your calendar now.
I was talking to a client this morning who expressed frustration at all the conflicting info on health and nutrition that’s “out there”, so if you want to hear the latest research PLUS some great tips on how to make it work for you, get on over here.
Drs. Jones and Hegnauer will be presenting a 4-part series designed to help us “tune-up” our bodies for optimal health and performance. Invite your friends, as these are open to the public and we want to spread the word. Don’t be fooled by the word “lecture”, this seminar series is user friendly and practical and down to earth.
Be there!
