Fitness Ethic Personal Trainer, Mike Berbano interviewed our Semi-Personal Training Client Nick German about his journey with FeXP and living a more active lifestyle.

Interview Recap | Youtube Video: Watch Me

Q1: How long have you been doing the Fitness Ethic Experience?

A: About 1 year and 2 months. I come on average 3 times a week or 12 times/month.

Q2: How has your lifestyle changed?

A: I have gone from sedentary playing video games to moving consistently every week. My whole life prior to this past year I have been pretty inactive. During Covid, I finally got board of just sitting around the house, and decided to try the studio.

Q3: Is the beginning hard?

A: Yes! You will be sore and muscles you never knew you had will hurt, but the pain is all worth it.

Q4: When did you start seeing a change?

A: I use to be really self conscious about my body, but one day I started notice I have these things called muscles. So I started wearing tank tops to show them off. It felt good to see my hard work change my body.

Q5: What are some of your fitness goals?

A: I want to bench my body weight, which I am pretty close to accomplishing. I also want to bulk more too. Overall I want to be strong and look strong.

We highly suggest watching and listening to Nick’s interview because he does a great job of illustrating not only the physical, but mental change you feel once you start living an active lifestyle.

The Fitness Ethic is more than a personal training studio, but also a fitness family. We love when our athletes success in the studio and life. If you are interested in personal training, schedule a free consultation today!

The Secret to Fe Fitness Programming

I promised I would tell you the secret to Fe Fitness Programming, so keep reading or watch this video now to find out how we make every routine a personal training session.

The Unexpected Truth Behind Fitness Programs | Weight Loss vs. Strength Training Youtube Video: Watch Me

Programming Fe Style

Creating and executing an effective exercise program is truly a skill. At The Fitness Ethic, the secret to our fitness programs is our exercises are adaptable. Adaptable in our fitness world means most of our routines can be modified to fit almost any fitness level or goal. To be honest, this is the trademark of a good fitness program, but often is forgotten.

We believe most fitness goals can fall into 3 categories: Weight Loss (Beginner), Strength (Intermediate), and Performance (advance). Often, we find that fitness levels can be interchangeable with our clients goals. We all have to learn to walk before we can run. However, sometimes you will encounter clients that have a higher skill level than their goals allude to. You may be saying to yourself, “This seems complicated and unfeasible.” Trust us it is simple because our fitness programs are adaptable. One of our favorite words is modification.

How To Break Down Your Routine

First, you modify the movement to the appropriate fitness level. For example, the first move of the series is designed to be a cardio lower body move, so we choose Squat Jump. Squat jump can be modified to the following:

Beginner: Triple Extension Squat Body Weight

Intermediate: Squat Jump

Advance: Squat Jump with weight.

Secondly, you further customize the workout by modifying the following 3 variables:

Weight: the load the athlete is under

Tempo: the pace the athlete is expected to perform

Time: the duration of the move and rest

Exercise Example

Below is an example of how we would adapt the squat jump for a client that has a goal of weight loss, but is an intermediate fitness level.

Goal	Fitness Level	Weight	Tempo	Time
Weight Loss	Intermediate	Body Weight	1 jump/sec	30 sec on / 10 sec off

Now You Try Or Let Fe Do The Heavy Lifting

As you can see, The Fitness Ethic program style is customizable to any want or need, which is why we consider all of our services personal training. There is no one fitness program that fits all, and we understand that concept at Fe. If you are interested in personal training, schedule a free consultation today!
