Some Of Our Ladies Working On Chinups

Many of the clients who sign up for our personal training programs or athlete performance programs, want to do better in a marathon or triathlon.

There is of course nothing wrong with that in itself. If you do these activities for personal satisfaction, or for a good cause. But really…long distance activity isn’t that hard to finish.

Even a “fast twitch” guy like myself has run up to 16km without difficulty – it only took a few weeks of training. (But with discomfort of coruse!).

I like to challenge all the clients in our personal training programs and even the fitness bootcamps to do something hard!

For men we as them eventually, to aim be below 10% bodyfat and to be able to deadlift 2x their bodyweight. For ladies the long term goal is 16% and be able to do AT LEAST 1 real chinup. These are well within the reach of everybody as long as you don’t have any serious injury.

One of the first things I tell anybody who comes in for a consultation is: “You are not joining the Genesis Performance Center to be average”… its easy to be “not fat” just stop eating horrible food  and do some light activity every day.

But if average was what you wanted, you would’nt need to invest time, finances or effort in our personal training, sports conditioning, or fitness bootcamp program.

And consider how may female friends you have who have finished a SHAPE run or a Standard Charted Half Marathon, or even participated in the Sundown marathon. Probably quite a few. But how many do you know who can do 8 or … 5 or even 1 real chinup?

Choose challenges that are challenging! That’s the way to be excellentat anything.
