How to have a 100% success rate

We’ve been helping people reach their goals for the last 15 years and have clearly defined 5 Steps that one needs to take.

5 steps make it Impossible to fail!

Step 1: Set Clear, Measurable, and Realistic Goals

          a. Define your goals. Set your target and be specific! Nebulous goals always result in failure. 

          b. Write down your primary goal and break it down into smaller, achievable milestones (e.g., monthly or quarterly)

Pro Tip: Use the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to refine your goals.

Step 2: Choose a training program and STICK to it! Consistency is key when training and you won’t succeed without it. Be accountable to people around you… coaches, friends, family. 

Step 3: Prioritize Nutrition and Recovery

You can’t out-train a bad diet, and recovery is just as important as the workouts themselves. Fuel your body with the right nutrients to support your training and ensure you’re allowing enough time for rest and muscle repair.

Simple Action Plan:

– Consume a balanced diet tailored to your goals (e.g., more protein for muscle gain, a calorie deficit for fat loss, etc.).

– Track your macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) and micronutrients to ensure you’re meeting your needs.

– Prioritize sleep (7-9 hours a night) and include active recovery days (light walking, stretching, foam rolling) to avoid burnout.

  • Stay hydrated and consider adding supplements (like protein, creatine, or multivitamins) if they align with your goals.

*If you need more direct help in this area that talk to a coach!

Step 4: Benchmark Your Progress

In the business world they track KPI’s (key performance indicators) to maintain accountability and we recommend doing the same thing for your fitness.

– Sample KPI’s could be: Bodyweight, Squat Max, Mile Time, Bodyfat %, etc… you choose them and you retest or measure them at regular intervals. 

Sample Action Plan:

– Keep a training log to track the weights, sets, and reps for each exercise.

– Take progress photos and measurements (body weight, body fat percentage, strength levels) every 4-6 weeks.

– Regularly assess your goals and make tweaks to your training or nutrition plan if progress stalls.

Step 5: Cultivate a Positive Mindset

Success in the gym as in life requires patience, resilience, optimism, determination, and a willingness to suffer. Nothing worth achieving is easy, period.  Everything in life is a trade-off. Your willingness to sacrifice for a greater vision is what gets tested with any long term goal. Below are some suggestions to help you. 

Mental Action Plan:

– Be Process Oriented, choose consistency over perfection: It’s okay to miss a session or have an “off” day as long as you get back on track quickly.

– Surround yourself with a support system (friends, gym buddies) to stay accountable. Be vulnerable with the people you know will support you. 

  • Stay patient: Recognize that real, lasting progress takes time.
  • Remind yourself that everything of value requires sacrifice. 
  • Read your goals daily. 
  • Celebrate wins. 

Summary of the 5-Step Program:

1. Set clear, realistic goals (SMART framework).

2. Choose a training program you think you’ll enjoy. 

3. Focus on nutrition and recovery to fuel and repair your body.

4. Track progress
