5 Primary Areas of Concern

1. PROGRESSIVE TRAINING PROGRAMS

For beginners, we usually limit training to about 8 standard exercises designed to begin building a solid foundation for your physique. Our Club’s policy is to work with beginners up to 2 or 3 sessions for (no charge). This is done in order to get them to the point where they are capable of working out on their own.

However, to be PROGRESSIVE, I recommend that you purchase 6-12 professional training sessions early on. During this time you will learn the proper technique for performing dozens of different full-body exercises. These are some of the same exercises Bodybuilders have used for decades for strengthening & sculpting their bodies. You will also be taught things like: How quickly or slowly should I perform repetitions? Is spot reduction possible? Bulking vs. Toning? How many repetitions should I do? How many sets? How long until I see results? etc.

Also, we now offer discounted (half-hour) In-House training sessions. But, even if your budget does not permit you to purchase training, we do not allow our clients to flounder. We are always available to assist you with ideas for making your training more progressive – just ask!

2. CARDIO VASCULAR TRAINING

Believe it or not, when it comes to Cardio-Vascular training – less intensity can be more beneficial! Especially for FAT BURNING. If your main concern is to burn off fat stores, walking at a moderately brisk pace of around a 60% exertion rate, over a longer period of time, is actually better than jogging or running. For adults, CROSS TRAINING: 20-30 minutes of cardio (after) a weight training session AND 45-55 minutes of cardio work on it’s own (in-between weight training days), is the best strategy for burning off AND keeping off unwanted body fat and for boosting your metabolism.

3. NUTRITION

Prior to coming to the DownTown Health Club, I did not realize how big of a part nutrition played in sculpting the kind of body I have been trying to achieve. Lots of people work out hard and regular. But have you noticed that not many of those who work out regularly have beautiful physiques? Why is this? NUTRITION. NUTRITION is the key! Starving yourself, trend diets (Atkins), are not the answer. At least not for the long haul. Your body will spare fat at all cost – it is a survival mechanism. You must entice your body to release the fat by eating the proper amount of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, based on your specific anatomy. Our Jason Croce can give you everything you personally need to achieve your best possible physique beginning with his 6 week nutritional program for only $199.00. compare at $500.00+.

4. SUPPLEMENTATION

We only carry products that have proven themselves to be effective. You will not find “saw dust” on our shelves. Most of our products revolve around Jason Croce’s recommendations for his nutritional clients. Although some of our products are geared specifically for the serious bodybuilder who is mainly interested in increasing muscle size.

5. EVALUATION / RE-EVALUATION

This applies to all FOUR (4) of the above-listed categories. In order to make steady progress, you have to regularly Evaluate AND Re-Evaluate where you are at and what changes need to be made to allow you to reach your fitness goals. If you want to get results you must be progressive! Changes to your routines and nutritional intake will need to be considered on a regular basis.
