Our large group (Smart Group Training) is as popular as ever, and is arguably the best program of it’s type that can be found anywhere. We continue to work hard to bring you the most effective fat-loss training through this format, and are looking forward to continuing to do so for a long time to come. And while Smart Group helps you lose fat, get lean, and look and feel great, we can only load you up so far.
One of the great benefits of Training for Warriors (TFW) Small Group is the ability to get under the bar and up your horsepower. TFW is a more advanced training option for those students who are interested in tracking load, progressions, and results!
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]After taking an earlier Get Fit NH’s barbell training course, I found I wanted to do more of that type of training and to learn how to pickup bigger loads. So when ‘TFW Small Group’ training was offered I signed up. Now I enjoy two nights of training with my regular 5:30 group and two nights in one of the two TFW groups. The small group training is helping me focus on how to work up to heavier loads with more confident than I had before. As we come to our first TFW recovery week, I know I am stronger and look forward to see how I much more I can do in the next session. – Ronald Weilnau[/mk_blockquote]Another advantage of Small Group is that it is, well, small! We keep the group to no more than 6 students at 4:15 and 5:30. Keeping it small allows more personal attention from your coach and a laser focused environment.
TFW Small Group meets at Get Fit NH Concord on Monday and Thursdays at 4:15pm and 5:30pm, mirroring the times of our Smart Group Training. For training Tuesdays and Fridays you get to join back in with Smart Group – giving you the best of both worlds!
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]I am enjoying the TFW program! I started it a few months ago. I wasn’t sure at first but I wanted to try something outside of the regular training classes to “up my game” . I was looking to build more muscle and strength. I also wanted to challenge myself in a new way. What’s great is we are all still working at our levels but challenging ourselves to work with more weight each session. The class has also helped me gain better form overall which I see paying off in my regular trainings. My ability to hold squats properly, and longer and with weights has improved. I have broken my personal deadlifting weight …my top so far was 300 pounds. I am noticing that my clothes are bigger too and more inches have been lost. I am a hiker and this class is also improving my indivual leg strength which is needed to climb over the big rocks, etc. For anyone with big weight loss goals I would also recommend really working on building that muscle. I’ve lost about 100 pounds in 2 years and working with the weights has helped me get that definition back. I also love the information I learn about nutrition, the tidbits, the understanding and knowledge that Coach Dean has is amazing. Each time I go I pick up another nugget. And ladies don’t be afraid to lift heavy, it really helps the metabolism. And last but not least….it’s another boost in confidence. Just seeing how much you can do and improving on that each time is amazing. Try it! You have nothing to lose. – Cara Wiley[/mk_blockquote]For current students the investment is only +$60 over your current contract, which is incredible for this specialized training.
We currently have 2-3 spots available, and there is no doubt that these spots will fill up FAST so if you want in – do not wait to apply! And if you on edge and cannot decide whether this is the right move for you then talk to your coach now!

Training for a cause is right around the corner and this time we are getting behind TWO great organizations!
On Saturday, October 31, 2015- Yes on Halloween- we will be gathering at Get Fit NH Concord for our quarterly training for a cause event. Our in house events always support an organization called, Operation Hat Trick (OHT). Operation Hat Trick is near and dear to our hearts here at Get Fit NH as we have coaches, fellow students and family members who have served or are serving in the United States military. OHT is a NH based veteran’s organization that helps pay for adaptive equipment for amputees; service dogs; critical care; emergency rent, heating oil or car payments. They have built a cabins for veterans’ summer camp, sponsored hunting, fishing and skiing trips and so much more to help injured Veteran’s work through their injuries and rebuild their lives. It is truly an incredible organization and we are honored to stand behind them. To learn more about the OHT mission and story you can click here. 
The cost of this training for a cause event is $15. When you pay $15 you will get one of two hats- your choice! You can rest easy knowing your hard earned money is supporting great people!
Wondering what the “X2” is all about in training for cause?
At 9:30 we will head over to Rollins Park in Concord for the 4th annual Wicked FIT 5K run/walk! FIT stands for Families In Transition and this is a fantastic organization who help home our local homeless community and give them hope! You can register here – our team name is Get Fit NH. 
And more great news?
BOTH of these events are 100% costume friendly- in fact, they are HIGHLY encouraged! We are looking forward to seeing you on October 31st for a seriously silly Saturday!

Are you due for an upgrade? I just received an email from Verizon trying to get me to upgrade to a new iPhone 6xyz or something or other – seems like I just get this one!
However I do admit my nutrition could use a little upgrade. Maybe you too are in need of a fresh challenge or hey let’s be honest- a kick in the butt after a short and “sweet” summer!
The exciting news is that this weekends Whole9 nutrition seminar is also going to include a “mini-detox seminar” or maybe better said an intro to your 21-Day Jump Start to Success.
If you have never done one of our 21-Day Detoxes before, you are in for a treat. Here is what some of our past participants have had to say when we asked the question “What did you learn from the 21-Day Detox?”:
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“If I fuel my body with healthy food, it’s so much happier with me than if I feed it junk! Amazing how simple it is!” – Paulette[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“That I really don’t need or miss sugar!” – Mary[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“That there is tremendous strength and endless possibility in a group effort!” – Mae Lynn[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“Don’t accept that quality food isn’t worth the time; that waking up w/occasional achiness is part of aging; asthma-type congestion is only resolved w/medication; Sugar or coffee are necessary afternoon pick-me-ups; that getting everything done requires more hours (as opposed to more natural energy)….” – Rayne[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“I have learned that eating well is easier than I thought! I definitely can eat this way forever! I am stronger than I thought” – Debbie[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“That the foods I was eating before was the major reason why I hurt so much… And I don’t have to accept that anymore!!! Change is good!” – Brooke[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“I’ve learned that no matter where I go I can make great choices. Also that I don’t really “need” any of the things that we have taken out of the diet” – Cara[/mk_blockquote]
[mk_blockquote style=”quote-style” font_family=”none” text_size=”12″ align=”left”]“I have learned two big things. Support means more than anything. And when I am hungry, a glass of water makes all the difference!” – Jodi[/mk_blockquote]
And those are just of a few things that Detox participants have shared with us!
Here’s what you get when you sign up for the 21-Day Detox Challenge:
Detox Meal Plan That Eliminates All The Guesswork
21 Delicious Recipes That Your Family Members Will Love
Grocery Lists to Make Shopping Quick & Simple

What is a Detox Program and Why Should I Do One?
Do any of these things sound familiar?
– Sugar and carb cravings that are driving you nuts.
– A constant feeling of fatigue, lethargy, or anxiety.
– Just feeling like total garbage (brain fog, inability to concentrate), especially when you go on a “diet”.
If you answered “YES!” to any (or all) of those questions, you aren’t alone. Nancy and I are right there with you. And truth be told there are literally millions of other Americans who suffer the same symptoms.
Why?
Too much sugar in our diets is certainly a big part of the problem. Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, and Inflammation are just 3 of the results of eating too much refined carbohydrate. But sugar isn’t the only enemy.
Each and every day of our lives we are exposed to other harmful toxins in our food and environment. Food additives, pollution, skin “care” products, soaps, dry cleaning and hundreds of other things we don’t even think about (plastic bottles anyone?)
These toxins we are exposed to every day have been shown to contribute to:
Bloating
Gas
Constipation or Diarrhea (which is worse, I don’t know)
Canker Sores
Difficulty Concentrating
Excess Weight
Difficulty Losing Weight
Fatigue
Fluid Retention
Food Cravings
Headaches
Heartburn
Joint Pain
Muscle Aches
Sinus Congestion
Skin Rashes
Sleep Problems
More serious conditions that may benefit from a proper detox program may include:
Arthritis
Asthma
Allergies
Autoimmune Diseases
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Diabetes
Fibromyalgia
Food Allergies
Heart Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Menopausal Symptoms (mood swings, poor sleep, hot flashes)
Menstrual Problems (PMS, heavy bleeding, cramps)
Migraine Headaches
Now you guys know that I am a pretty down to earth guy, and I don’t want to seem like chicken little running around saying the sky is falling. But I am guessing if you could eliminate some of these toxins you would want to. It’s kinda crazy to think that the food we eat, the water we drink and even the air we breathe can lead to health problems. Oh and those lovely prescription drugs – while I would never tell you to go off them without medical advice, you have to wonder about all those disclaimers at the end of the commercials while they play beautiful music with butterflies and people dancing through the field. 🙂
Nothing is magic guys. Pills, potions, lotions, drugs, diets or even doing a detox. I guess I am not much of a salesman, but it’s true. You have to put in the work long term to reach your health and weight management goals. I will tell you though that a couple of years ago Nancy and I tested out the an elimination style detox plan (like this one) and it was what set me on my course to get to the lowest bodyfat I had every been measure at, at 9.2%.
So who is with us for the challenge?

Reasonable Expectations?
While weight loss tends to be a major focus for people, there were some other awesome benefits as well. Let me share just a few of the things that participants shared upon completion:
Well, the fact is, this program is SCIENTIFICALLY-BASED & PROVEN TO WORK for regular folks (meaning you don’t have to be some hard-core athlete or professional that works out all day) just like you and me. So far over 2000 people have successfully gone through the 21-day Detox program. Now It’s Your Turn!

Coach Meagan
Are you ready for the longest and most exciting phase of the year!? When we return from recovery week on September 7th we will be kicking off a 15 week cycle! It is crazy to think that our next recovery week will take us right to up to Christmas. Are you ready for another New Hampshire winter?
If we have another white out like we did last year then you will need to keep your snow shoveling muscles intact and we have JUST the challenge to help you make sure of that. Between September 7th and December 18th you will have about 56 opportunities to train- so here is what you gotta do…
Your challenge is to train 50 times between September 7th and December 18th! There is a very specific sequence that needs to take place in order to make sure you earn your reward:
Why are the rules so specific and strict, you ask? GREAT QUESTION! The answer is because if you get your card filled up with coach’s initials and you check in 50 times at Get Fit NH on Facebook then YOU will get rewarded with $50! That’s right- EVERYONE who makes this happen gets a $50 credit on their account to go toward protein power, Dale Bars, Myoplex, fish oil, etc!
Don’t worry we will shout out the check in reminder and initial reminder, but without those two pieces we can’t help you win the prize.
Even more important than the bonus on your account is what those 50 training sessions will do to make you lose fat, gain muscle and look and feel great!
Want to up it even another notch? Take a picture of yourself on the first Monday of September, October, November and December, and post it with your check-in. You’ll not only keep yourself accountable, but you’ll be able to watch all the great progress you are making. It’s a double bonus!
Let’s get in it to win it!
Coach Meagan
You won’t want to miss this! 
Monday, September 7th we will be FRESH off of recovery week. Chances are you will be itching to get back in here so that you can continue getting better. We gotchya covered! We know that most of you have a different schedule on Labor Day so we are going to let ya sleep in a little or get it in early!
Join us at 8 AM in Concord to get your training in! We love getting the whole family together and laying some sweat down 🙂

Maryann celebrates one year with Get Fit NH on July 24th!! It has been a very exciting year! Maryann’s changes did not happen overnight. There have been some struggles but she has worked hard and it is paying off! Maryann’s commitment and enthusiasm make her a very special part of the Get Fit NH Family. I hope you all are inspired by her story!
Before
After
“I came to Get Fit NH because I knew that I had to get fit or face potentially deadly health issues. I always tell people “I went to GFNH so that I could live.” I was having some health issues related to my weight and stamina and I knew something had to change. I remembered a friend had mentioned GFNH a long while back and it had stayed with me. I was so nervous when I came in to test with Erin to see what my ability was. There were so many things I couldn’t do! Her response was that the first step is making the decision to do something positive! The first two weeks were so intense! I loved that at GFNH there was only positive energy. The people around me encouraged me and it gave me a lift. I was hooked! You do the things that are safe for you to do and are encouraged to do your very best 100% of the time! Challenging yourself safely is the goal, but the expectation is that you will challenge yourself. I leave the gym feeling powerful and that I’ve accomplished something for myself and my health!
What I’ve learned at Get Fit NH is that the passion you feel for your health and wellbeing should be greater than your passion for what doesn’t benefit you! Sounds crazy, I know! But for someone who loves food and is willing to eat regardless of the consequences, it’s an important lesson. Using the passion that I have for food in order to get comfort from the stressors in my life has not worked for me. It has led me to health problems, stress and low self-esteem. Yet it was a behavior that I just couldn’t seem to change. Through my many talks with Erin, Dean’s blogs, Nancy’s seminars and more, I have learned to focus on my accomplishments and remember that the feeling I get from meeting my goals, is more fulfilling than that ice cream sundae on a bad day! I also learned that when I do fall down and make choices that do not benefit me, that is not the time to get discouraged and quit! I have learned that when I fail or don’t meet a goal, that is the time to work harder!
A few years ago on fb, there was some kind of a list where you put down a wish. I remember I put “I wish I could be athletic again.” I was a very good athlete in high school and college. Now, I am a nurse and like many nurses, I have a bad back. I also injured my shoulder moving a patient and the injury put me in physical therapy for a year. I constantly took the elevators at work because I didn’t have the stamina to walk up a flight of stairs! How do I feel a year after joining? Like I’m athletic again. I can do push-ups. I can lift weights. I ran/walked a 5k. And I have not felt this good in about 15 yrs. Since I joined GFNH, my back doesn’t hurt, my shoulder is stronger and I feel great! At the hospital, I can walk up two flights of stairs and I NEVER take the elevators anymore! I just won’t do it!
My experience at Get Fit NH has been life changing. Although I still have a long way to go, I know I can make it happen! I have met wonderful people and made friends who support the positive changes that I’ve made in my life. I love to walk into GFNH and see the friends I have made all gathering to work out and have fun! I love the encouragement, competition and positive energy every time I walk through that door! And I am grateful to Dean, Nancy, Meagan, Adam and especially Erin-who has walked beside me every step of the way! They have all created a place of acceptance for all people no matter how they look, or what their abilities are. I love GFNH! BAM!”
And we love you too, Maryann! Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication! We are SO proud of you!
Keep making it happen,
Coach Erin
Do you know the number 1 reason why people just like you choose Get Fit NH?
Accountability!
After our recently completed Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown, we asked “What helped you the most with your success?”
In a landslide the number one answer was…
“I was being held accountable.”
We listened. If our awesome students want more accountability, we are going to keep that momentum going all the time. Since we know this is what you want and more importantly what you need we decided to take action.
Our mission at Get Fit NH is to help you lose fat, build muscle and look and feel great. That’s why you came to us, and from now on we are going to be more proactive in measuring your success.
Starting in our August session we are going to be weighing you in on a monthly basis. Simple as that. The first week of every month you just need to hop on the scale and we will write down the number. Leaving it to when we “feel like it” is not a good idea. If your body weight is higher than it should be, step on the scale. If the scale is not your friend then you will have a better opportunity of being reminded to get your body composition measured. These are tools that are available to you to be sure we are taking you from where you are to where you want to go.
We don’t want you to dread this each month. Our hope is that you embrace this change and embrace your journey toward a fitter more healthier you!
If we didn’t love you we wouldn’t hold you accountable – lucky for you we do love you all very much!
Here’s to making it happen!
