A Definition of Hard Work and Commitment
There is a recent blog post on the strengthcoach blog about the disconnect between the trainer and client. Read the post here. I really liked the post and thought that I would share it with you.
The article talks about the difference between what is important to the client and what the trainer perceives to be important to them. While fitness may be the number one priority for the trainer, it may only be 3rd or 4th on the list for the client. To the client, fitness is typically just something they do a couple of times per week to fulfill a need to lose weight, reduce medications, or increase self-esteem. The quicker the trainer realizes this, the better.

Top 10 things Learned And Achieved For 2011
Yesterday, I received an email from one of my clients that I thought I would share with everyone. I thought it was pretty cool. She put together a list of things she learned and achieved over the course of the year while working out with us. Here’s her list:
1. Designating 4 specific days and times at the gym is more effective than saying I’ll go 4 days a week.
2. I have kept 90% of my training appointments in the past year.
3. I have trained a minimum of 3 sessions per week for 13 months now, the longest workout streak of my life.
4. The number on the scale is my daily FYI, fluctuating often and therefore, no longer makes or breaks me.
5. I look forward to working out.

Top Ten Of 2011
Yep, it’s that time of year again. At the end of each year, I go back and review which of my posts got the most web traffic. Here’s this year’s top ten:
1. Does Muscle Fiber Type Effect Performance In this post I talk about the differences in muscle fiber type and how it affects an athlete’s performance.
2. The John Broz Method One of the more popular topics in the strength training world in 2010 was the training that John Broz does in his Las Vegas gym. This post discusses my opinions on what he does.
3. The Real Reasons Why People Don’t Exercise The name says it all. These are the reasons why people don’t workout.
4. Is A Calorie Really A Calorie? In this post, I discuss some of the myths about nutrition.
5. Spot Reduction Revisited In this article, I talk about a T-Nation article on spot reduction.

Hope For The Holidays Write Up and 12/20/2011 lifts
So, I decided to do Hope For The Holidays. Hope For The Holidays is a strongman competition that North American Strongman puts on every year in St Louis to benefit Our Little Haven, a home for children without parents. The goal of the show is to provide the children with Christmas gifts. So, as if I needed to compete one more time this year, I decided to sign up and do it. Here’s how it went:
260lb Axle Clean and Press
I got fourteen reps and was barely edged out by another competitor who got 15.
260lb Farmers Hold For Time
This is never a good event for me. I really need to improve on this. I held it for about 30.xx. I’m pretty sure I got like 6th.
30lb Crucifix Hold

This Is Who We Are.
At Nunn’s Performance Training, we are about half way through our second year being in business. During that time, we have always kind of struggled with our identity. Are we an adult fitness studio? Are we sports performance? What is our brand? Are we corporate wellness? For most businesses, these types of things are usually decided before it is ever incorporated. For me, it wasn’t. This business was started out of necessity. Not an “entrepreneurial seizure” as Micheal Gerber would put it. Every gym that I had worked for had a failing business model and went under quickly. So quickly that I had to scramble to figure out something to keep cash flowing in. This is where Nunn’s Performance Training was born. So when setting up my business, I looked at who my clients were. I had a handful of adults and a handful of middle school and high school athletes. All of which have been with me for several years and through a couple different failed gyms. They followed me from one gym to another, my garage, and eventually into a space I could call my own. Why did they follow me? Because they were serious about being the best versions of themselves.

2011 Nationals Write Up and Videos
This past Friday and Saturday I competed in the North American Strongman Amature National Championships. I competed in the 265 class. My goal was to win the 265′s and finish top 15 in the overall heavyweights. Here’s how it went:
Day One
310lb Log clean and press for reps
I was wanting 6 reps here, but I had a hard time with my footing. It felt like I was dancing all over the place. I usually push jerk the log, but I was forced to push press it due to not being able to maintain my balance. I got 3 reps and I think I tied for 5th place.
850lb Yoke walk. 80 feet for time.

Change Requires CHANGE
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”- Albert Einstein
Many people come to me because they want to make a change in their life. Whether it be weight loss or becoming a better athlete, change is required. If your goal is weight loss, you’ve got to make changes. Big ones. Probably the thing I see most often are people who come in and think that because they workout one time per week and don’t change their eating habits, they will get results. Sorry, it’s not happening. Actually, we’ve taken away the one time per week training option all together. I now only take on serious clients who are ready to make changes. Dr. Robert Adkins (of Adkins Diet Fame) once said, “You became overweight because you did something unbalanced. It should stand to reason that you will have to do something unbalanced to lose the weight.” Basically, he’s saying that you sat around and ate too much and that’s why you gained weight. Why does it surprise you that you’ll have to do the opposite of that to lose the weight? Change is hard for many people, but if its worth it for you, you’ll do it. Like the video below says, if you want to be successful, you need to want it worse that you want to breath. Are you willing to make those changes? |

Celebrating Two Years of Doing Things For The Right Reasons
“A failure establishes only this: that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.” – Bovee
This July 10th was the two year mark for Nunn’s Performance Training, LLC. According to the Monthly Labor Review, 34% percent of businesses fail within the first two years. That automatically makes us more awesome than 1/3 of the businesses out there! All kidding aside, here’s a couple of the things I’ve learned so far in our two years:
Always Do What’s Right.
Doing what’s best for your clients should be your top priority. Making money should be second. Every decision I’ve made has been in an effort to provide a better service to our clients. By going this route, and not selling out, we’ve been able increase our business revenue over 50% from last year.
Be Unique.
