Over the years I’ve been in and/or worked at several gyms. It never ceases to amaze me the crazy things I see or hear around the gym. Unhappy staff, dirty/smelly facilities, broken machines and more are frequently seen filling fitness facilities all over the place.
Why does it have to be this way?
Why would anyone want to workout somewhere that doesn’t care about your or the atmosphere they provide to you while you are working out?
Lifetime Fitness got it right. They have immaculate facilities, fun filled programming, lots of machines and classes – they are one classy establishment. But while these big box gyms have many things Bexa Body Fitness does not, we have something that they will never have – incredible customer service with a private, non intimidating fitness environment suitable for all fitness levels.
I will admit I cancelled my Lifetime membership this week and I am pretty sad about it. I love going to the pool and sitting in the hot tub and working out whenever it’s convenient for me. Unfortunately, convenient doesn’t happen anymore and I haven’t been using my membership. But as I went in there recently, I realized how annoying it is to working in a gym with many other people. Many other people that stare at your in the mirrors, men that make you feel totally uncomfortable in the weight training area because they are staring or constantly offering their suggestions for me on how I could “improve’ my workouts. No matter how wonderful of a facility Lifetime provides for me, they can’t provide the sanctuary from the constant evaluation of other people in the gym.
Bexa Body Fitness is different in that we don’t have an open gym. If you aren’t working out or moving your booty to a group fitness class – you aren’t lolly gagging around the studio oogling and ogling the other people there. We are the fitness studio for normal people of any fitness level that just want to come in, get their workout done, have a good time, see results and then go home.
There are no crazy, over the top workouts. There are no hot tubs. There is hardly any grunting (most of it comes from me during push ups lol). There aren’t any body builders. There aren’t any power lifters. There aren’t any starvation diets or meal plans that would put someone in an insane asylum or cause them to eventually have an eating disorder.
We just like to have fun. Our clients like to have fun. They like the results they are seeing and the relationships they build with the staff and other clients. Ask any of our current clients and they will tell you they love that we are down to earth and relaxed. That doesn’t mean fat and lazy- it just means that you don’t have to be over the top to get results.
I built my business around this belief system because that is what my clients over the years were reaching for, yearning for and wanting a home like this. There is no method, it’s just our belief system that fitness should be fun and that comes from the Boss Lady (me) down to my staff and down to our clients.
Oh, and we also have the best smelling bathroom with basic amenities you will find in any small fitness studio!

I’ve never been one to exercise in the morning. I am a night owl and even as we speak I am doing work at 1am on a Monday evening. But, I was approached by some folks to do guest blogging and I thought this would be a great post for someone else to write because it just isn’t my cup of tea!

Early Morning Exercise to Keep One Fit and Healthy: 7 Reasons to Exercise In the Morning
Why Exercise in the Morning?
A well-known axiom is that persons who exercise every morning, even if only for 20 minutes, tend to become stronger and have greater endurance than those who do not. From time immemorial, both the young and the old have been observed taking part in individual or group exercises in the early morning hours, whether in the northern or southern hemispheres. Whether someone is practicing yoga exercises close to the banks of the river Ganges in India, or some long distance runner practicing short bursts at Central park in Manhattan, New York, there is 90% likelihood that these activities are taking place in the morning of their respective time zones.
1) You Will Sleep Better.
One very important reason for exercising in the morning is that it helps the individual sleep better by making the person go to bed earlier. Remember the adage you learnt at school: “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise”. Well, the wisdom expressed here is as relevant as ever.
2) You Will Seldom Skip a Session.
Once a person becomes used to rising up early in the morning there will be little likelihood of that person ever skipping a work-out session. This could be the case if he/she were exercising during evening hours when time management often becomes a problem.
3) You Will Burn Your Calories Faster.
It is common knowledge that exercising regularly helps in burning up fat and controlling our weight. Medical researchers believe that we can burn as many as 500 calories everyday if we work out in the morning. By burning fat, we can not only lower our harmful cholesterol level but also raise our good cholesterol (HDL).
4) The Benefits You Will Gain From Aerobic Exercises.
The most popular exercises that people indulge in every morning fall in the category of what is known as aerobic activities, such as: brisk walking, jogging, swimming, and bicycling. Aerobic exercise benefits our bones and muscles. It is especially good for our heart and the lungs. Whether it is jogging or bicycling, we should always choose an aerobic activity that we enjoy so that we can develop a habit of involving physical activity in our day-to-day routine.
5) Exercises That Will Fit Your Schedules.
By exercising in the morning, we can more easily find activities that can fit into our schedules. It is very important to choose a good exercise program that can be done regularly. One should never attempt to get into shape too rapidly. Instead, we should increase our efforts gradually in the first few weeks.
6) Hypertension Will Never Haunt You.
Regular, moderate exercise lowers the blood pressure. Thus, if a person can keep his/her blood pressure down every morning while exercising, the person is deriving great benefit because high blood pressure is associated with both heart disease and stroke.
7) You Can Get All the Benefits Without Any Special Equipment.
For middle-aged persons with busy schedules, jogging can be combined with walking, and done alone or in a group, every morning. This form of exercise does not require any special equipment and is now universally recognized by fitness experts as one of the best exercises for the heart and circulation.
Above all, a person should exercise moderately. If a person begins to get dizzy or nauseated, or if the person feels any pain, the exercise should be stopped immediately. Warning signals of over-exercise must never be ignored.

TESTIMONIALS:
Testimonial 2012
“I reached out to Rebecca after seeing her photo from an High school classmate, they were before and after pictures of her transformation. This was exactly what I was looking for to amp up my motivation and tighten up my workout and really focus on cleaning up my poor eating habits. After submitting my stats on height, weight, current workout habits, and diet Rebecca designed a customized workout and diet plan. I was super excited and really ready to start my challenge with the support of my husband, It wasn’t easy, and yes the diet was tough at first. But after week one it was time to check in with my trainer. She wanted samples of my workouts, records of what I had been eating…oh and progress photos! Front, side and back pictures were taking in my dreaded swimsuit. I actually dreaded that part but it kept me accountable and on track. Each week I put on that swim suit and started to see progress, it was slow at first but defiantly there. This defiantly kept me motivated!Accountability was crucial even if you already have the knowledge of how to workout and what to eat. It is always a good idea to have an expert to not only keep you on track but also to push you beyond your expectations and self limitations. So if your ready to unlock your hidden capabilities and your personal best body ever…than it’s time for BEXA BODY FITNESS!!!”

BEFORE
Ok- well this is my mother but she lives 3 hours away so she is a wonderful example of a Bexa Online Training success story. Laurie has been working with her daughter the Boss Lady, Rebecca to clean up her eating and consistently hit the gym. Laurie worked with Rebecca last fall when she was Strong Body by Rebecca and the system works. Here is what she had to say about finally saying enough…
“I couldn’t live like this anymore…I didn’t feel well, was always exhausted. I thought of how fast time passes and how much I was missing in life. So, I started to diet, but this time I changed my way of eating, instead of following a drastic diet that would ultimately cause me to gain more weight. I also decided I needed some support, so I signed up for BexaBody cyber training.”
Emily is my sister but look at her amazing transformation.
Emily always struggled with her weight even as a child. Her weight fluctuated a lot as she got older. This picture below is at the peak of her weight gain in 2005. Emily lost a little bit of weight after that but plateaued. She has been working extremely hard for the last year to really shed the weight and finally get the body she has always wanted.
“I love being able to have email access and get questions answered weekly. The accountability factor has been a big part in my success. Just knowing that I have to report to my trainer each week makes me want to push farther and try harder. I finally found something I enjoy in bike riding and have learned to enjoy running on the treadmill. Rebecca showed me a bunch of different routines on the cardio machines so I never get bored. I can’t emphasize how much this online program has helped me get to where I want to be. Over the years I’ve lost a total of 90 pounds and only 20 more to my goal!”
