What Happens After 12 Weeks of “Body Transformation”

In our Singapore Gym, our personal training clients and fitness bootcamp clients who have the goal of weight loss and fat burning, often undergo great transformations in 12 weeks. Our record for 2010 is an 11% drop in bodyfat in just 1 month – literally that client’s friends said “who is that guy?… Isn’t that so and so…No… can’t be, that guy is fat! This guy isn’t”

But at the Genesis Performance Center, we are not interested in “flash in a pan” kind of result. After you burn lots of fat, build lots of muscle or get to the performance goal that you want? What next?

Keeping yourself there is the next step that no other fitness center, personal training studio or gym in Singapore focuses on. It’s all about getting more and more new clients. However the people with the truly outstanding physiques are the ones who live a consistent life of health and energy.

That means a good digestive system, a good detoxification system, a good brain and of course a good level of leanness and strength.

If you see most 12 week body transformation contests e.g. the Biggest Loser (Asia or otherwise) you will find that contentants end up fat or fatter than their previous selves really quickly. Why?

There is no community to support them – that is why at our gym, personal training clients who are with us for more than a year get membership benefits and our fitness bootcamp members have lots of other trainess working together each session to support each other. It is important to remember that you will be the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with! So spend time with lean, healthy, strong, fit people several days per week and you will be like them for life.

There is a crash diet system - low fat, low calorie diets simply don’t work long term. Almost nobody in our gym counts calories. In the long term calorie counting is just a pain and adds to our already stressed up lives. I have tried almost all the Iphone apps, softwares, and online calorie logs, just to see what is out there. Even these “simple” methods are quite troublesome. In addition calorie counting dosen’t work very well. I only use calories as an indicator to show people how much or how little they are actually eating. But once the habits we help our clients build are in place, calorie counting is almost never talked about again. In my fitness bog entry here, I wrote about just how unwise calorie counting is for most of us.

Low fat is not suitable as a diet plan. Our bodies live on fat as a preferred fuel source. Every system in the body likes fat as a fuel. Only red blood cells use a bit of sugar to keep the oxygen fresh. And that’s only a teeny bit required which can be made from protein and fat anyway. Oh yeah… the other kind of cells that use sugar instead of fat are cancer cells – and we don’t want to feed them! So healthy fats are the prime source of energy for most of the cells we like! Many nutrients are also fat soluble and don’t get absorbed without fat. All in all, people who recommend low fat diets are ignoring how most of our bodies work. That damages our health.

They never learned to “fish” – Part of our coaching teaches clients how to read a training program, how to record their progress, how to perform exercises and how to tell what foods are good for them and what isn’t, we also teach habits and lifestyles that boost sleep, reduce toxicity, and improve all your body’s functions. This is a lifetime benefit because our whole idea is to teach our Gym members to “fish” instead of just giving a cookie cutter program that gets some result for 12 weeks but leaves the client on their own from then on!

There we have it – this is the reason that I am so proud of the clients I have at the Genesis Performance Center. They change their lives and their health so that they are able to maximize their productivity, time and talent! This is the most satisfying part of my job.
