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
Get Fit Games are back again!
It’s time to set some new records and see what we can do!
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.
Make sure you check out the record boards in both gyms and see what you are shooting for – we hope to see your name up there soon.
Don’t worry if you aren’t currently able to compete in the overall, just come do the events you can.
We do ask that you please do not sign up if you aren’t 100% sure you can be there, as space is limited to 25 (and it only costs 2 hours of your time!)
Looking forward to it!
Place: Get Fit NH Concord
Date: Saturday March 15th
Time: 8:00am to 10:00am
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!

21 Again Intro Seminar
Date: Wednesday March 5th, 2014
Time: 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Place: Get Fit NH Concord
What is your why?
Today I want to make you think a little bit. I want you to think about why you walked into Get Fit NH. Where did you find us? Who told you about us? What sparked you to finally put your foot down and register for that two week trial? How did you know Get Fit NH was the perfect fit for you? Why did you adopt Get Fit NH into your life?
Do you know the answers to those questions?
Maybe some of them, but I want you to dig deep here. Maybe you have grandchildren who you want to watch grow up and get married and maybe even have great grandchildren. Maybe you are tired of spending hundreds of dollars on medications that can be cured with a little discipline in the kitchen and in the gym. Maybe you wanted a challenge…but why? Maybe you wanted to get stronger…but why?
If your why is big enough nothing will stand in your way. This week I challenge you to declare your why and post it in a place where you will see it every day.
Also share your “Why?” below – The power of team and accountability is huge!
I’ll go first: I train to be a strong which gives me my independence. I train to be lean which saves me money on Dr. visits. I train to feel confident and to feel self worth. I train to set the example for my family. I train to live.

The planning for Reach the Beach 2014 has begun!
Reach the Beach (RTB) Running Relay Race is one of the longest distance running relay races in the United States. The race will start on Cannon Mountain and finish on the sand at Hampton Beach. The relay will consist of a 12 person team that will rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover approximately 200 miles. This means that each relay team member will run 3 legs of varying lengths and difficulty and will cover an average total distance of ~16.6 miles.
Now that I have explained to you the craziness of RTB I am looking for all you crazy runners! We are in search of 5 more runners from the Get Fit NH family to complete our 12 person team. If you have heart, soul and desire to complete 200 miles in under 36 hours talk to me today about joining the chaos!
