WEEKLY NEWS FROM TJ's Gym

Message from TJ:

Culture

I feel very confident in the culture of our Gyms and our community. We are a coaching facility where methodologies supported by empirical data are used to improve the lives of our members. We make use of the power of our community to help facilitate results.

The achievement of goals in the short term is the key to long-term sustainability and success. It feels really comfortable to reread that.

The question I have for anyone reading this is: What is YOUR personal culture?

What message are you sending out into the world? Is that message helping or hurting you? The data is the proof. Are your actions, words, demeanor, and presentation helping you knock out short-term goals?

I believe that the goal-setting protocol we use can be applied to achieving anything outside of health, fitness, and aesthetics, as well. Define the goal, and start reverse engineering the tiny steps necessary to make it happen. It starts with your personal culture.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Holiday Accountability Plan

30 days of accountability with Zoe and TJ.

The Holiday Accountability Plan will help you start 2018 RIGHT! The program will include daily point tracking on a self-scored leaderboard, tips and tricks to take care of yourself through the holidays, and the TJ's camaraderie and community to keep you going. You'll hear from TJ and Zoe every day, in one forum or another. If that's not motivation enough, the TOP THREE people with the most points will win some fabulous prizes.

Check out the TJ's Members Facebook Page for a video from TJ and Zoe on what to expect!

Body Composition Testing Coming to San Rafael on Saturday, December 9th.

The Fitness Wave NorCal truck will be back at the San Rafael Gym on Saturday, December 9th from 8am- 2:30pm. We can add later times if we fill up those slots.

Goal-setting starts with good, hard data. Whether you are finishing the Pre-Holiday Nutrition Program, or you are wanting a baseline to maintain through the holiday season, body comp testing will give you that important data.

WE NEED A MINIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE BY WEDNESDAY TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE SCHEDULE, SO PLEASE SIGN-UP ASAP!

Email jessica@tsgym.com to get on the schedule.

STRONGMAN Seminar 2.0 with Arielle coming Sunday, December 10th.

Come to the San Rafael to gym to play with some new toys. We will build on your new found knowledge as a returning participant, or if you are new, you get to add some tools to your arsenal.

You've played with the sleds and sandbags, and now it's time to play with some more big toys! Yoke work and farmer carries are fun tricks to add to your toolbox to develop overall core strength, power, and control. We will learn how to use the yoke (which lives at our San Rafael location), as well as how to make use of various other equipment in the gym to mimic the demands of the yoke.

Carrying odd objects allows your body to develop functional strength that carries over into weightlifting, gymnastics, and, most importantly, everyday life. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, yoke and farmer carries are great ways to augment your training.

Experienced teens are welcome to join our adult classes during that week. Please email Jessica@tjsgym.com to register for the holiday session or inquire about your teen joining adult classes week of 12/25-1/01. Thanks!
