Get Fit NH Team Additions and Updates

Getting Better. Every Day.

You have heard it before and I am sure you will hear it again.

It can apply to every facet of our lives. If you are standing still you are going backwards. Kaizen – constant and never ending improvement.

At Get Fit NH this concept is ingrained deep in our culture. We want to improve so we can help you improve.

Over the past couple of years we have grown a lot, and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with so many fantastic clients who truly want to live and be healthy.

It is Nancy and my burden as we have grown to never lose the closeness of relationships and family atmosphere that means so much to us. Admittedly it is more of a challenge as we have grown, but it is made much easier because of the great team that we have in place, and the huge part that Coach Erin and CJ have played as growth has occurred.

So don’t be surprised when you get a phone call from one of your coaches. Erin in particular has taken a lead role in keeping the lines of communication open with you, and we covet the feedback that we receive from you. As your coaches we want you to know that our doors are always open, and that we want to hear from you. The work that Erin does in that regard allows Nancy and me to be more available to you one on one, so take advantage of it.

With that in mind I am excited to announce some enhancements to our business that I am confident are going to have a big impact on us continuing to serve you with excellence.

New Additions to the Get Fit NH Team

Meagan Sbat

Many of you in Concord have already had the opportunity to work with Coach Meagan, as she has been a fantastic addition to our afternoon training times. Starting January 21st Meagan will be taking an expanded role with us in a couple different areas.

First of all Meagan will take an expanded coaching role. On Monday and Fridays she will be coaching with CJ and me in Concord at 5:00am and 6:20am, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays she will be coaching with Nancy in Epsom at 5:00am and 6:15am.

Secondly Meagan will be serving as our Event Coordinator. In that role she will be helping us put together and promote our in house events such as our nutrition and skill seminars, as well as coordinating special speakers. She will also be helping us put together events outside of the gym. On more than one occasion y’all have expressed the desire to get together and be active on weekends, and up to this point we have had a challenge putting these things together from a sheer man (or woman) power standpoint. Meagan will be coordinating these efforts as well, and we are excited about it!

Esther Phillips joined the team the later part of 2012 as our office administrator. Esther has already done amazing work helping Nancy and I organize and coordinate the tons of paper that seems to fly around here. One of the many things Esther will be doing is handling the contract and billing side of the business. As we transition to her management, your questions regarding those issues will be directed to Esther. I assure that you will be treated with respect and courtesy, as always.

Additional Training Options Coming

Part of the reason we have Meagan working in both Epsom and Concord is so she can do the most important thing that we do – get to know you! This is going to be crucial as we start rolling out some more training offerings, and she has the opportunity to take leadership in those training times.

As many of you know I tend to be very deliberate when it comes to expanding our training offerings, and now is no exception. My primary concern is that our training standards be maintained at the highest level of excellence and that you truly get what you need.

In the near future we are going to be adding two new training options to our schedule, Enhanced Energy Systems Training, and the Strength Club. These are a couple differences in these offerings as opposed to our Group Personal Training (formerly known as bootcamp).

1) These are designed to integrate with GPT, not be standalone.

2) You must be injury free and pass the FMS to be eligible.

3) There will be more responsibility in personal record keeping and accountability.

4) The groups will necessarily be smaller than some of our GPT times.

And I am sure there are a few more things to scare you away.  🙂

Seriously though our concern is that your training be right for you, and that doesn’t always mean adding more days and beating yourself up. The concept of “minimum effective dose” is important, although for many of you that concept is really foreign. 5 or 6 days of training is unnecessary and counterproductive in many cases.

So why do it at all?

Because I am a control freak, what else? 🙂

The reality is that some of you already go ‘somewhere else’ for your specific cardio fix in particular. What could be better than to coordinate that with your existing group personal training? Without a plan in place for all areas of your fitness endeavors, over training and/or injury can occur. Plus this is going to give me the opportunity to play with some really cool new toys we are bringing in that will help you (what else?) get better.

Looking forward to getting you more details soon, but for now you can always fire me an email and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Have a great day!

Coach Dean
