Jane is 74 years old. She’s retired and she has been training with us faithfully for almost 5 years. If you’ve ever heard me talk about the client that got up on water skis in their 70s - you’re looking at her.

She stopped me the other day to tell me that my post a few days ago about bone density really struck her. Before she started training with us each doctor visit reported a decline in her bone density. This is a HUGE red flag for all y’all who are aging (cough that’s all of us cough) She reported that every annual doctor visit since she started training with us has shown improved bone density. No more decline.

Now you may be thinking who cares about bone density…but let me be the first one to tell you how painful and debilitating a fractured pelvis, broken hip, or shoulder is after a fall. No one plans to fall, but I can tell you that if I had a dollar for every time a client told me about a fall or accident they had where they should have been hurt, but they were not then boy, I could retire tomorrow!

There are so many sneaky benefits to strength training. Feeling better, feeling more confident and fat loss are all great reasons to keep at it, but we are also playing the long game here. 74 is not too old to improve your quality of life.

 Age with grace, so you can continue to do the things you love to do and the things you need to do as you mature!

 Strength training gives us the confidence to LIVE. To be silly. To try new things. To keep up with kids and grandkids. To travel. To participate in excursions and spontaneous adventures. These are only a few reasons. Shoot me an email if you want more reasons 🙂

I was grateful for my strength just yesterday when my kids challenged me to a game of twister. Not just regular twister, they upped the challenge by jumping on my back. They thought this was hysterical (so did I) but it was cool to be able to make it through 6 spins before my mobility was challenged and therefore collapsed. 

 Oh speaking of mobility, that is something we work on here at Get Fit NH too. In the first 10 minutes of every session, we work through myofascial release and mobility drills to keep you moving well.m

 So, if you're thinking you want to play competitive twister as you age or if you just want to have the confidence to try then make sure you get started on your two week free trial. 

Don't worry, we don't bust out the twister mat in the gym. You can practice that on your own time. We will just give you to the tools you need to try 😉

On Friday, November 25th we are going to host a first ever glow in the dark training at Get Fit NH.

We welcome you, your friends, your family and your out of town guests to join us on Black Friday at 5pm.

Grab your glow sticks ,glow in the dark necklaces, glasses, tutus and whatever else you can find!

This event is fine for kids who will stay in your view (the lights will be off after all) We would appreciate a donation of a toy or cold weather clothing item for Friends of Forgotten Children. This is not mandatory, but encouraged! 

Our Styku Scan Day is Saturday, October 29th from 7am - 9am! If you want to check in on your progress and get some direction to get back on track then make sure you book a time HERE! You must select and show up to the time you book. If they fill up then I will open up more times through the 9 o'clock hour.

When you click the calendar link just select "styku scan" and then you will be able to pick a time. Be sure to be on time for your selected appointment as we are trying to avoid a line. Please respect the 10-minute block too so we can keep everyone's appointment flowing. If you need additional time then we can schedule a time to meet outside of that window.

This is a great opportunity to raise your hand and be accountable as we head into the final stretch of 2022. If you are not able to make it, please shoot me an email at meagan@getfitnh.com to get a date on the books for YOU!

The Stkyu scanner provides us with in depth information about your lean mass, fat mass and inches! We can also gather information about how much you should be eating to maximize your results.

We are excited to host a former Get Fit NH coach on Wednesday, October 26th at 6pm! Kristen is a registered dietician and has recently opened up shop in Concord with Nutrition Works. 

I think you'll appreciate Kristen's simple and gentle approach around nutrition and treating food as fuel. You won't hear her listing off the foods you "can't" eat, but rather reinforcing the foods you can ADD to enhance results and performance. 

We hope you'll join us to learn more about you can keep taking steps closer to results. I bet you'll learn a few things that you can put into play right away. 

She will have Q&A opportunities as well. If you have a specific condition or concern you can always book an appointment with her!

This time with a coaching twist, but the same fantastic personal programming. Check it out...

Coach Adam ran and grew this class over the last several years. He fine-tuned it so well that we were able to pick up where he left off and keep his program alive. This is an 8-week program run on Saturday mornings only for those of you looking to up your game and work on some things that aren't possible in a large group setting.

Here's what you can expect:

• 8 weeks of personal programming delivered right to your cell phone via an app called TrueCoach each Saturday. 
• This is a small group offering which means we are only taking 20 clients for the 8-week program over a 3-hour block each Saturday. This program is self-paced so you can show up anytime between 6 am and 8 am on Saturday to complete your training. The coaches will be there until 9 am for you to complete your training. 
• You can expect the training to take you 1-1.5 hours to complete.
• You can expect sprint variations, sleds variations, medball conditioning, and more focused strength work than what you typically experience in the large group setting. 
• This is run completely different than our large group personal training as it is not coach lead from start to finish. It is COACHED, but it is self-lead using he app from warm-up to finish.
• We expect to have 1-2 coaches on the floor and 4 of us will cycle through throughout the 8 weeks 

Who is this program best suited for?

• This is a great opportunity to build confidence in your strength and push your limits. I guarantee participation in this class will up your game in the large group personal training program you may already be apart of.
• Get Fit NH clients and followers and welcome to sign up for this class
• This program is best suited for someone who wants to get stronger

Who is the program not for?

• Someone who does not have access to a device to use the TrueCoach app in training
• Someone who has never lifted. Our group personal training is a great starting place though!

 This program begins Saturday, October 8, 2022, and will run through Saturday, November 26, 2022, with a makeup date offered on Saturday, December 3rd. The cost for all 8 weeks is $318

Can't believe we are talking about the end of summer already- so sad, yet so exciting! We have so many cool things scheduled from now through the end of the year. We look forward to sharing them with you.

We MOVED our September recovery week to space out the weeks more evenly. It was scheduled for the week of September 5th and it has MOVED to the week of September 26th. 

We will be open for ONE class on Labor Day which is Monday, September 5 2022. We will dedicate this training to Best Buddies NH. At this point, many of you know that I have a super soft spot for Best Buddies NH and I love to support their mission of INCLUSION .You are welcome to bring kids, friends or family to this training. We just ask that with your attendance you consider making a small donation to Best Buddies. Our last charity training we raised over $1000 which was COMPLETELY unexpected and SUPER cool.

This year my buddy Ian and I are running for Champion of the Year. This is a HUGE fundraiser for Best Buddies. I have partnered with him in hopes that we can work together to raise as much money as possible between now and November. With that being said, we will likely do one more event between this event and November. We hope to see you there! If you are unable to attend, but wish you donate you can use our unique link or contribute to our cash jar at the gym!
