Walk Fit Club NFI Vineland

CHERRY HILL, NJ – Kevin Hensel, President of Fit-4-Life South Jersey’s premiere personal training studio, vows to lower skyrocketing health care costs one company at a time by launching their Corporate Walk Fit Club for employers throughout South Jersey and Philadelphia.

Hensel touts, “Health insurance premiums increase 9-13% every year and 75% of health care spending pays for illnesses that are preventable.  Obese workers cost a company an extra $1,809 each year in healthcare costs and absenteeism.  Our Walk Fit Club is a win-win, employers reduce health care costs as well as attract and retain talent and more importantly, it is the employees that truly win.  Employees get a great workout 2 times per week during their lunch hour.  We incorporate fat melting endurance exercises, and corrective exercises to get rid of the muscular imbalances from being slumped behind a desk all day. ” Dan Dychtwald, Walk Fit Club Instructor and Fit-4-Life success story has recently lost over 115 lbs and over 50 inches  adds “Not only do employers see a benefit to the bottom line in terms of healthcare costs, but these programs also help improve morale and enhance team dynamics. Plus, a happier, healthier workforce ultimately equates into improved productivity.”

Walk Fit Club NFI Cherry Hill

Several local companies have already taken advantage of the Walk Fit Club including NFI (Vineland & Cherry Hill Branches) and Premier Prizm Health Solutions of Marlton. “Walk-Fit was a tremendous asset to the overall wellness and morale of our company and employees. The lunchtime workouts, fitness and nutritional hints and tips are invaluable…I would without a doubt recommend it to any company focused on their number one asset – it’s people ”, said Glen DeShields, Director of Human Resources with NFI. According to Linda Diekmann, President of Premier Prizm Health Solutions, “After the first week, I could not believe the number of employees that stopped to thank me for instituting the WalkFit Club. More importantly to me, it is just a great opportunity to give my associates access to health and wellness care they might not ordinarily have.”

 A number of corporate wellness options are available including Walk-fit Clubs, Lunch and Learn Seminars, Step Challenges, Smoking Cessation Programs, Corporate Boot Camps, Nutritional Counseling, Metabolic Testing, Healthy Cooking Demonstrations, and Executive One-on-One Personal Training. Sessions can be conducted on-site at the employers place of business or at Fit-4-Life’s studios located off Route 70 in Cherry Hill.

27 Fitness and Fat Loss Tips, Cherry Hill Personal Trainer Reveals

Cherry Hill Personal Trainer Reveals

It’s New Year’s Day, and you have a clean slate.

I don’t know if you are one to make New Year’s Resolutions or not, but either way you’re probably thinking about how you can become fitter, healthier and happier than you are right now.

These 27 Fitness and Fat Loss Tips will get you on the right track for this New Year:

  1. Visualize the accomplishment of your goals each and every day. Experience the taste of success and feel that sweet satisfaction.
  2. Push the intensity of your workouts. Don’t kill time, burn calories by maintaining a challenging intensity.
  3. Use smaller plates at home. This effortlessly reduces calorie intake and promotes weight loss.
  4. Build accountability into your workouts so that you resist the temptation to take days off. The best way to ensure accountability is to work with a personal trainer either one-on-one or in a group training setting.
  5. Believe in yourself. Know with conviction that you CAN accomplish your goals.
  6. Drink water throughout your day. Do this by carrying a water bottle and opting for water rather than calorie-filled beverages. This simple action is extremely beneficial.
  7. Maintain your metabolism by eating a healthy snack or meal every three hours. This food should be unprocessed, low in fat and high in fiber.
  8. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
  9. Incorporate High Intensity Interval Training into your cardio workouts by performing bursts of high intensity rather than exercising at a single steady pace.
  10. It’s not about will-power, it’s about want-power. You have to want it.
  11. Do not eat processed foods. These items are high in empty calories and contain a plethora of chemicals that are harmful to your health.
  12. Stop talking about losing weight. Start doing it.
  13. Fat contains twice the caloric density of carbohydrates and protein, so limit the amount that you consume. Fill your diet with lean protein and carbohydrates from plants and whole grains.
  14. Be wary of products that are labeled as ‘health food’. Always read the nutrition labels.
  15. Find a workout partner who is in better shape than you, or better yet work with a personal trainer to guarantee dramatic results.
  16. Make a habit out of reading nutrition labels. Avoid items that are high in fat and carbohydrates.
  17. Destroy negative self talk.
  18. Avoid the trap of high-calorie beverages after your workouts.
  19. Be consistent with your workouts. Exercise three to four times each week.
  20. Expect more of yourself.
  21. High fructose corn syrup should not be in your diet. It is high in calories and will quickly derail your weight loss efforts.
  22. Challenge your body with each workout. Use different weights, do different exercises and break through plateaus.
  23. Eat lots of whole plant foods. Vegetables, fruits and whole grains are filled with fiber and antioxidants, vital for your good health.
  24. Do your cardiovascular exercise after weight training to ensure more fat burn. Your stored sugars will be depleted during the weight training then your body will rely on fat stores to get you through the cardio workout.
  25. Set specific, measurable goals.
  26. Start each day with a healthy breakfast. This important meal should be a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat to get your metabolism going strong.
  27. You deserve better…go get it.

After writing these tips, I realized how powerful and inspiring they are. Print this list and place it somewhere that you’ll see often – this will keep you motivated and pumped up to accomplish your goals.

If your New Year’s Resolution has to do with losing weight and getting into great shape (and whose isn’t?) then guarantee your success by working with a fitness expert who can guide you to success.

I’d love to team up with you – together we will transform your body in 2010!

Call or email to get started today.

The New Year’s Resolution Trap

Are you making a New Year’s Resolution today? If you do, keep this in mind: It has been reported that 92% of New Year’s Resolutions end in failure. Why? Because most people make resolutions that are simply unrealistic. They quickly get discouraged and then abandon the idea entirely.

To ensure that you accomplish your New Year’s Resolution, stick with a goal that is realistic rather than intimidating. Check out these examples:

  • Instead of resolving to lose 70 pounds by summer, commit to exercise 3-4 times each week.
  • Instead of resolving to give up all carbs, commit to bring healthy lunches to work instead of going through a fast food drive thru.
  • Instead of resolving to drop 3 sizes in 3 months, commit to losing 1 pound each week until you reach your goal weight.
  • Instead of resolving to never eat out again, commit to eating healthy all week and rewarding yourself with one meal out on the weekends.

Committed to your success,

Kevin Hensel

Cherry Hill Personal Trainer Pays It Forward

Dan Dychtwald has been a superstar client for the past 18 months.  At his last evaluation he had lost over 115 lbs and over 50 inches.    His results are absolutely amazing.   Dan isn’t satisfied,  now he wants to helps others do the same thing.  

Check out his video below after his first few months with us – he doesn’t even look like the same person).  Then listen to Dan D. The Trainer tell you in his own words what makes him a good trainer.

        Dan D. After 2 Months With Us                                        Dan D. The Trainer Tells His Story

 This past May, Dan mentioned he’d like to become a personal trainer.  I told him to take a few college level courses including functional anatomy, exercise physiology, and nutrition so he could get a solid foundation.  To be perfectly honest I never expected him to actually follow through with it.  

A few months later and over 15 college credits later, he says OK what’s next and by the way I’m gonna be a registered dietitian (which is the gold standard in nutritional counseling – he’s about halfway through the program right now). 

Then I said you should get certified by a nationally recognized organization.  2 months ago Dan passed the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) personal trainer certification.  They were so impressed by Dan that he was actually invited to be on a special NASM committee.  NASM in my opinion is the best certification organization in my industry – they are extremely thorough and methodical in their evil testing process. 

 Since May, he’s logged in over 500 hours of hands experience at Fit-4-Life Personal Training Studio.  Matt and I have been grillin’ him on a daily basis.  He really knows his stuff.  He’s also been running several of our bootcamp workouts - (getting a ton of really great feedback). 

He wants to use his inspiring story to help others lead a healthier life.  He’s especially excited to work with kids.  Dan struggled with his weight his whole life, now he has invaluable insight into the mental and physical issues involved with being overweight and how to overcome them.

I want to welcome Dan to the Fit-4-Life Trainer Family with a bang!!  So I’m going to give away FREE one-on-one and small group (2-5 people with one trainer) New Years Gut Busting Workouts.  Sat 1/2 and Sun 1/3 from 9AM – 3PM, Dan will be performing FREE 60 minute workouts.   Just bring a can of non-perishable vegetables in exchange for a FREE Gut Busting Workout.   It’s  a no brainer you get to welcome Dan to the family, lose the holiday gut, and you also help Philabundance give to families in need.  

Call us ASAP 856-751-0033 or email me at kevinhensel@fitlifeinc.com to reserve your time.
