Here’s why having a coach is important:
There’s too much out there. You know you should be doing something, but can’t do everything. A lot of it looks—or sounds—good. I’m speaking about diet plans, supplements, workout programs or even daily WODs (workouts of the day).
You need direction. You can’t do it all, and trying to do too much will actually set you back. Raise your hand if you have been guilty of trying too? Me, I’m guilty!
Most of us know about overtraining, and we’re all scared of getting injured. But most don’t realize there’s a sweet spot of the amount of training to do, just as there’s an optimal amount of food to eat.
Too little, and your progress will be slow. Doing too many workouts without recovery days has the exact same effect.
We choose Cross Training for our group training because it’s a great balance: It’s not too little and it’s not too much. Kind of like the fairy tale Goldilocks. But even as hard as Cross Training workouts can be, many people are tempted to do more: to add a little “recovery run,” or even to do multiple workouts in a day. I hate to tell you, but that is NOT the path to success.
More is NOT better, it’s just more. Better is better.
That is why you should have a coach. That coach is your filter. Your coaches are here to tell you what’s optimal and appropriate, not what’s minimal.
At Faith Fitness Gym, our coaches and staff want to talk to you every 6 weeks, 90 days, 3 months, and so on. One-on-one, in person. We want to put you on the body scan scale, ask about your goals, review your progress, talk about your WIN’s, and then give you the best possible prescription to keep your progression going.
If you’re a current member of FFG, here’s a link to book the goal review. It’s part of your membership!

What we DON’T want is for you to have to guess about if you’re going in the right direction. Who has that kind of time to be guessing?
We don’t want you to try 1 of 100 of those fad diets just because someone else is doing them. We don’t want you to attempt to drink a gallon of milk a day just because you saw it online. We don’t even want you to do what everyone else in the gym is doing, because their program is theirs. It’s not yours. Train in a group, tailor individually: That’s what our coaches do. That’s what FFG does.
You have a coach.
We are your filter.
Next time you see a workout online and think, “Oooooh, that looks spicy! I gotta add it after my group noon class tomorrow!” ask yourself if it fits your goals. Ask yourself, am I going in the right direction for me? Take it from someone who learned the hard way!
