We recently had a motivation tip of the day that read,
“When good nutrition, exercise, and sleep are your friends, you can defeat your worst enemies.”
Let that sink for a moment. Think about some of your personal physical and mental enemies.
For example:
Those are only a handful of challenges many of us face and I have great news for you…
It doesn’t have to be that way!
Leading a healthy and fit lifestyle are life’s natural healing (both physical and mental!) I’m so proud of you all for getting in here 2-4 times per week and busting your tail. You have that piece down, but you can’t stop there.
Your nutrition has to support your training. I have said it before and will say it again, you cannot and will not out train poor nutrition. It is not possible. If you want to feel good, lose fat, and gain muscle you need to have discipline.
Here are some great ways to make a plan and stick with it:
(After all who wants to buy Cheetos after they just got their butt kicked?)
Sleep. You have to fight for your 8 hours. A great night of sleep and a poor night of sleep both have a tremendous impact on how your day is going to turn out. If you sleep great you can train hard and when you train hard you sleep great!
Here’s the catch…
If your nutrition isn’t supportive, you can’t train as hard. If you aren’t training as hard you probably aren’t sleeping great. If you aren’t sleeping great you’re probably pretty crabby.
Do you see how this is like the circle of life?

I want you to take a second and think of your favorite car. It may be a sports car, an antique ride, or maybe it’s a luxury vehicle. Now I want you to think about how you would treat that car if you had it.
I think you may see where I am going with this metaphor…
Your body is a machine. And I can assure you it is a heck of a lot more valuable then any materialistic possession you’ll ever own. You only get one body and you need to take care of it now, because here is the scary part- ready?
If you don’t take care of your body and give it what it needs you are putting yourself at risk for countless harmful and fatal health risks.
No, not…
There is no time for excuses. At best case scenario we see you for 4 hours a week!
Do you know how many hours are in a week? 168.
That means at BEST case scenario there are 164 OTHER hours during the week where you need to be making conscience and smart decisions.
Because guess what?
You cannot out train poor nutrition. Sorry. It just is not possible. Treat your body like a Camaro.
Remember training is forever.
I will see you guys two-four hours a week FOREVER! (Lucky me, huh? …..or lucky you?)
Make it Happen.
Coach Meagan
……is that a silly question?
I am pretty sure most of us are here to lose body fat, build muscle and feel good! Have you set yourself a body composition goal?
If yes, ask yourself these questions:
If you have not set yourself a body composition goal, let me ask you these questions:
These are only a few things I challenge you to take in to consideration when setting goals. If your actions don’t support your goals then you’re going to be walking in circles with no results. We are here to help you meet your goals.
As always- be accountable. Take advantage of all that we offer you to succeed. Schedule a body composition test with your coach today.
Make it Happen,
Coach Meagan
Today I am going to dish out a little tough love, but you know what mom says, “Honesty is the best policy.”
Let’s talk about how you feel when you leave the gym…
Here are some of the words we want to come to mind and probably do come to mind often:
(Yes, all those things can happen at once!) 🙂
Here is what we don’t want you thinking when you leave us:
Now be honest with yourself…have you ever thought that to yourself after training?
Or…now that I mention it would you say you may be guilty of any of those thoughts?
Don’t be ashamed. I’m guilty too sometimes.
Here a great motto to remember when you know you can do more:
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Guess what? 40 seconds of band split squats on the same side burns and you know what else? THAT’S OKAY! I promise if your quads start smoking we will stop you! So here is my encouragement – embrace the burn!
You know what that burning is?
Here are some suggestions to focus on this week (and every week!)
Make It Happen!

The Peets Family
Saturday April 12, 2014 at 3 pm we will be hosting our monthly fundraiser event at our Concord location. We have witnessed some incredible generosity since we introduced these monthly events. In January we raised over $1,000 for Friends of Forgotten Children and in February we collected a car full of personal care items for Rise Again. This month we hope to have an outstanding turn out as we look forward to donating to Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD).
This is an organization we hold near and dear to our hearts. CHaD is New Hampshire’s only comprehensive, full-service children’s hospital. They provide an extended system of care that offers advanced pediatric services. CHaD provides outstanding, compassionate care for children and their families. Coach Dean’s sister Deb Peets knows first hand the excellent care provided through CHaD, as her children have been through over 25 surgeries for a condition know as van der Woude syndrome.
“When I told Deb we wanted to do a fundraiser for CHaD she was thrilled” Dean shared. “She put us in touch with some great people up there to help with our efforts, and Get Fit NH is looking forward to a great day!”
You can read the Peets family story here: The Journey of Their Lives: van der Woude Syndrome
On Saturday April 12th our mission to pack the house with you and your children. Our goal is to raise $500 for this absolutely phenomenal and selfless organization.
This fundraiser training is for parents and children ages 6+. All we ask in return for a fantastic training hour is a minimum $10 donation. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to CHaD.
NEWS FLASH: BONUS KIDS NIGHT
After our “Kids for Kids” fundraiser training we hope you and the kids will stick around as we show “Frozen” in our state of the art theatre (Ok, it’s the gym, but it IS a huge screen!) We encourage you to stay after you sweat and make it a family day with us – we will even provide snacks!
Parent’s- it’s time to show your children how it’s done!
Hope to see you and your family at our family day 🙂

We just finished up our first 6 week Basic Barbell 101 a couple of weeks ago and we had a blast. We found that many of our student’s learned that they are a lot stronger than they (and we) thought!
Starting Saturday April 19, 2014 we will be starting the next cycle of Basic Barbell training. This is a 6-week small group training course with a maximum of eight students. You can even take it a second time if you feel like sharpening those basic skills!
Here are the lifts that we focus on in Basic Barbell 101:
How is it different than my current training with Get Fit NH?
Great question!
Should I take Basic Barbell 101?
Enrollment for this intensive 6-week workshop will be limited to 8 athletes (yes I am talking to you!), so don’t delay. The workshop session will run on 6 successive Saturdays starting April 19th through May 24th. Each session will be 1 to 1 1/4 hour in length.
Enroll through MindBody:
I look forward to seeing you there!
Basic Barbell 101
Starting Date: 4/19/14
Time: 8:15 AM
Place: Get Fit NH Concord
Cost: $127
Think about the first time you walked through the doors of Get Fit NH. When you came to us maybe you came with a goal to lose weight, feel better, look better, manage stress, or get strong. I want you to think about a few things:
If you never write down your goals and develop a plan to make them happen you will not see results. I may have a goal to lose 4 pounds in 4 weeks, but how am I going to get there? Can I just train 4 times per week then eat McDonalds on the way home from the gym? No.
Making your goals public is motivation to get it done. That’s why success sessions are so important. Your coaches know your ability and can push you when you need it on the training floor. If you have not had a success session with your coach, it’s time to set one up.
Just ask Patti Johnson from Concord 5 AM.
Patti declared her goals and I held her accountable. Every time I went over the chin bar Patti had that overhand grip and powered through every second. That grip is a lot harder and she knew it, but because we both knew that she had set a goal for herself she followed through.
And guess what? Patti can easily do 6+ jumping chins and 3 in a row from a dead hang.
Talk to your coach today about setting up your success session. Don’t wait to make your goals public knowledge.
Be accountable.
Make it happen,
Coach Meagan

We promised that we would do this once a quarter and we are staying true to our word so come out on March 15th and let’s see what you can do.
This is a fabulous way to track your progress.

Agenda: Pure Awesomeness!
“The healthy life: It’s not just about losing the weight; it’s about losing the lifestyle and the mindset that got you there.” – Dr. Steve Marboli
Jenn from 5:00am Concord recently sent me that quote. If you know Jenn’s story, you know you should pay attention.
That quote sums up perfectly “21 Again – PPW for Life”.
“21 Again” is the next phase of the 21-Day Detox Challenge. On March 5th we will introduce this new program and help you understand more what food can do to help or hinder your health.
Not sure if “21 Again” is for you?
Ask yourself this:
Those key questions will all be addressed in “21 Again”.
And if you didn’t do the 21 Day Detox Challenge, can you still be “21 Again”?
Yep, you’ll be able to join in right where everyone else is.
Our main goal for March 5th is to have each person walk out of the room with a week’s meal plan all done by you. I’ll teach you how to easily make a plan, adjust it, and keep it moving forward to the next week.
This seminar if free and open to the public, so invite your friends, co-workers and family members.
Make It Happen!
