If you’ve ever thought,
“Is it really worth it?”
Or
“Can I even do this?”
You need to hear this.
We just dropped a brand-new video featuring one of our TruFit members who shared what they’re most proud of on their fitness journey.
It wasn’t about hitting a number on the scale.
It wasn’t about lifting the heaviest weight.
It was about something much more powerful:
“That I did it. And I’m going to keep doing it—for me.”
This is the kind of story that reminds us why we show up.
Why we push through.
And why it’s never too late to start.

Whether you’re just thinking about starting or you’ve been grinding for years—this one will hit home.
What made you decide to join TruFit?
At my last doctor’s appointment, I asked what would really make a change in my life. Her answer was simple: “Exercise.” That was a wake-up call for me.
What were some of your biggest struggles with health and fitness before joining?
I was dealing with high blood pressure and cholesterol.
How were you feeling physically and mentally before you started?
I was constantly tired and fatigued. I had no energy and just didn’t feel like myself.
What was your first impression of TruFit?
From the very first class, it felt like a family atmosphere. Courtney is fantastic—she keeps everyone motivated and makes it fun to keep coming back.
Had you tried other programs before?
Nope—this is the first program I’ve ever stuck with.
What were your biggest challenges in the first few weeks?
Definitely the soreness and getting used to the workouts. But once I got into a rhythm, everything started to click.
What kind of physical changes have you noticed since starting?
I’ve lost some weight—not as much as I originally hoped—but I’ve gained noticeable muscle and strength. At my last doctor’s appointment, her first words were, “I’m impressed.” Everything—blood pressure, cholesterol—is trending back to normal. She said she’s excited to see me again in November!
Has your mindset changed since joining?
Absolutely. I have a more positive outlook on life. It’s been a real mental shift.
What are you most proud of so far?
Honestly? Just sticking with it. I’ve stayed consistent, and it’s made a big difference in how I feel overall.
Has your success here carried over into other areas of your life?
Yes—in both work and play. I have the strength and stamina to do things I couldn’t before, especially in the afternoons when I used to crash.
What’s surprised you most about this journey?
I expected to lose more weight, but I didn’t realize how much my body would change in other ways. I’ve lost inches I didn’t expect—gone down three notches on my belt. That’s when I really noticed it’s working.
Have your habits around food, sleep, or stress changed?
Yes! My stress levels are down, and my eating habits are much better. Smaller portions, more protein—we’re just eating cleaner overall.
What role has the TruFit community played in your success?
The community is incredible. It keeps me motivated. I actually look forward to coming back and pushing myself.
Is there a fellow member who has inspired or supported you?
Mike has definitely been an inspiration. And Courtney—she keeps all of us on track. She's the heart of it.
What goals are you working on now?
I still want to lose a bit more weight and continue building strength. Those are my two main focuses right now.
What would you say to someone who’s thinking about joining but feels nervous to start?
I saw a TruFit ad on Facebook right after that eye-opening doctor’s appointment. It felt like the timing was right, so I just decided to try it. Six months later, I’m still here—and I feel better than ever. So my advice? Just go for it. You won’t regret it.
Q: So, what made you decide to join TruFit?
A: I was actually at Physique before this, and I really liked the format. So when you opened TruFit and followed a similar structure, I knew I wanted to join because it worked for me and I enjoyed it.
Q: What were your biggest struggles with health and fitness before joining?
A: Diet, for sure. I didn’t know how to eat properly. I had no idea what macros were, how to count calories, or how to fuel my body. And when it came to working out, I didn’t know the first thing about form or what to do. I had never even lifted a weight. It was all completely new—and honestly, really intimidating.
Q: How were you feeling mentally and physically before you started?
A: Horrible. I was not in a good place. I’d go to work, come home, sit on the couch, and watch TV. I wasn’t doing anything active, and I definitely wasn’t healthy.
Q: What has surprised you most about your results so far?
A: Just how much better I feel—mentally and physically. It’s been life-changing.
Q: What are you most proud of?
A: Keeping the weight off and no longer needing my diabetic medication. I was diabetic… but I’m not anymore. I also had high blood pressure starting at age 35. That’s gone too.
Q: How has your success at TruFit carried over into your everyday life?
A: I feel better overall—more motivated, more confident. And the community here is so supportive. That positivity follows me outside the gym and into the rest of my life.
Q: Had you tried other programs before?
A: I had.
Q: How is TruFit different?
A: It’s the people and the coaching. It’s not one-on-one training, but it still feels like one-on-one attention. You’re not just thrown in a room and told, “Here, pick up some weights.” The coaches actually care and guide you through everything.
Q: What’s your favorite part of the experience so far?
A: The people. Hands down. The community makes all the difference.
Q: What would you say to someone who’s on the fence about starting a program like this?
A: Just try it. It’s absolutely worth it.
You’ve probably said at least one of these before.
Most people have.
And that’s not a jab — it’s just the truth.
But the real issue isn’t the statement itself…
It’s what it reveals about your level of control.
Let me explain.
Here are 5 of the most common things I hear from people struggling to lose weight — and what they really mean:
1. “I eat pretty well.”
Translation: “I eat mostly clean, but I’m not willing to track my food — because that would force me to see how often I overeat.”
Here’s the truth: "Clean eating" is a feel-good label.
But fat loss isn’t about clean vs. dirty — it’s about total intake.
And if you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
2. “I know what to do… I just need to do it.”
Translation: “I’m either unwilling to do what I know works… or what I think works is so extreme, it’s not sustainable.”
Either way, you’re stuck.
This is where strategy and support make the difference — because you don’t need more information. You need implementation (these people implemented).
3. “Once I get through ____…”
Translation: “I’m waiting for the perfect time… but the perfect time doesn’t exist.”
There’s always something.
Vacations. Kids’ schedules. Holidays. Work stress.
If you don’t build your plan around real life, you’ll always be waiting.
4. “I’m great during the week…”
Translation: “…but I completely blow it on the weekends.”
This is a lifestyle mismatch.
Your diet doesn’t support your social life or habits outside of work.
Which means it’s not sustainable, and it won’t last.
Something needs to change.
Which is different than saying, "something needs to be eliminated"...
But again, that takes strategy.
5. “_____ always gets me off track.”
Translation: “I didn’t plan ahead for the inevitable.”
Whether it’s travel, kids, your job, or even stress —if you don’t proactively create systems and strategies to handle these roadblocks, you’ll always fall off.
None of these phrases make you a failure.
They make you human.
But if you want real change, you’ve got to stop giving away your control.
Discipline. Self-control. Ownership. That’s the difference-maker.
And if you need help with that?
We’re here when you’re ready.
Why did you join TruFit?
Overall, I was feeling low on energy. I had a lot of aches and pains, and I really didn’t like how I looked or felt. I knew I needed to make a change, especially heading into retirement—it was important to me to get healthy. That’s why I decided to join TruFit.
What were some of your biggest struggles with fitness or health before joining?
Poor nutrition, lack of motivation, no accountability… and honestly, I never really knew what to do when I went to the gym. I’d show up, but it wasn’t productive—I didn’t feel like I got much out of it.
How were you feeling physically and mentally before starting?
Worn out. I was probably at the end of my rope, to be honest.
What was your first impression of TruFit and the staff?
Incredibly positive. Everyone was so welcoming, professional, and encouraging. They provided structure and guidance, which helped me stay disciplined. Without that, I wouldn’t have known what to do. The accountability here is huge.
How is TruFit different from other gyms or programs?
I haven’t tried other programs, but when I researched other gyms, I noticed most of them were filled with younger, super fit people—which felt intimidating. What stood out about TruFit was seeing people in my own age group, people at similar stages in life. It made it a lot easier to feel like I belonged.
What was your biggest challenge in the first few weeks?
Honestly? The pain. I wasn’t used to lifting weights or exercising regularly. Getting off the couch or out of a chair was hard for the first few days.
How did you overcome that?
By sticking to regular workouts and increasing my protein intake. Consistency really helped.
What kind of physical changes have you noticed since starting?
That’s the best part—I’ve lost over 33 pounds. My endurance is back to where it was five or six years ago. I feel stronger, my attitude has improved, I sleep better... I just feel good.
Has your mindset changed since joining?
Absolutely. I used to focus only on weight loss, but now I’m also focused on getting stronger. Even though I’m getting older, I truly believe I can become more fit now than I ever was in my 40s.
What are you most proud of accomplishing so far?
More than any specific exercise, I’m proud of my discipline. I’m committed. I come in four times a week without fail. Skipping just isn’t an option for me anymore. I’m proud that I’ve made this a real lifestyle change.
Has your success at TruFit carried over into other areas of your life?
Definitely. I’m more relaxed, I sleep better, I’m easier to be around. I have the energy to enjoy life—to play guitar, to work in the yard with my wife. I actually want to do those things again.
What’s surprised you most about this journey?
How much I’ve been able to do—things I never thought I could. I’m lifting weights and moving in ways I couldn’t even do in my 40s. And I’m almost 60!
Has the TruFit community played a role in your success?
Absolutely. Community is huge, especially in retirement. I look forward to seeing the people here. I consider them my team. I’ve made some close friendships in a short amount of time, and that’s a big motivator to keep coming back.
Is there a fellow member who has inspired or supported you?
Yes—Jason and Kirk. They’ve both motivated me, and I find myself trying to keep up with them in the best way. They’ve set a great example.
What goals are you working on now?
I’m working on getting my shoulders stronger and improving my lunges.
What advice would you give to someone who’s thinking about joining but feels nervous?
Don’t be nervous—just do it. This is a very welcoming environment and community. If you show up and follow the plan, you will see results.

The Importance of Vitamin D3: Why You Shouldn’t Be Deficient
Vitamin D3, also known as the "sunshine vitamin," is an essential nutrient with wide-ranging benefits, yet many people are deficient, even those who live in sunny climates. In this video, we’ll cover why vitamin D3 is so important, what it does for your body, and how to ensure you're getting enough.
What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts like a hormone in the body, regulating many vital functions. It’s produced naturally when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but you can also get it from specific foods and supplements. Because it’s fat-soluble, vitamin D3 should be taken with a fat source for optimal absorption—like a meal that includes olive oil, avocado, nuts, or another healthy fat.
The Benefits of Vitamin D3
Why Many People Are Deficient in Vitamin D3
Despite its nickname, the "sunshine vitamin," vitamin D3 deficiency is widespread, even among those who live in sunny regions. People who work indoors, wear sunscreen, or have limited direct sunlight exposure often struggle to maintain adequate levels. And since vitamin D3 is challenging to get from food alone, many find they need a supplement to reach their recommended intake.
Recommended Daily Intake
For most adults, a daily intake of 1,000 to 3,000 IU of vitamin D3 is generally recommended. Because vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, it’s most effectively absorbed when taken with a fat-containing meal. This daily amount helps maintain healthy levels without risking toxicity, particularly for those who may not get enough sun exposure. It’s always best to consult your healthcare provider, who can check your vitamin D levels and offer guidance on the best dosage for your needs.
How to Ensure You’re Getting Enough Vitamin D3
🎥💦 Are BCAAs Worth It? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Hey everyone! 👋 Today, I’m breaking down the subtle but helpful benefits of BCAAs and why they might be worth adding to your routine. You may not feel a huge difference when you start taking them, but sometimes it’s those small, consistent gains that add up!
💪 What Are BCAAs? They’re essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that help with muscle recovery, maintaining lean muscle, and giving you a little more endurance during workouts.
✨ Subtle Benefits:
🚰 BONUS: BCAAs are a great way to encourage drinking more water! Flavored BCAA drinks make hydrating fun and can help you stay on top of your daily water intake, which is super important for recovery, energy, and overall health.
I personally recommend 1st Phorm BCAAs for a high-quality formula that tastes amazing and mixes smoothly. Try it out and let me know what you think!

🚨 MEAL TIMING & FAT LOSS: DOES IT REALLY MATTER? 🚨
The truth is, when it comes to shedding fat, meal timing doesn’t directly impact your results as long as you’re in a calorie deficit. 🔥 Your body cares more about overall calories in vs. calories out than the exact times you eat!
BUT… 🤔
Spacing out your meals evenly throughout the day can make a big difference in how you feel. You’re less likely to get those hunger spikes, energy crashes, or cravings that can throw you off track. Plus, keeping your energy levels steady helps you crush your workouts and stay active!
So, find a routine that fits your lifestyle, keeps you satisfied, and helps you stay consistent. That’s the real key! 🔑

Fiber might not get the spotlight it deserves, but it’s a game-changer for your health! From boosting digestion to supporting heart health, adding enough fiber to your diet can make a huge difference. Here's why you need to prioritize fiber every day:
✅ Improves Digestion – Keeps things moving smoothly and helps prevent constipation.
✅ Supports Heart Health – Soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol and promotes a healthy heart.
✅ Controls Blood Sugar – Slows the absorption of sugar to prevent spikes and crashes.
✅ Promotes Weight Loss – Fiber-rich foods keep you full longer, making it easier to stay on track with your goals.
The best way to get fiber is through Whole Foods—fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes. But if you're falling short, I recommend adding a supplement like 1st Phorm Fiber to help hit your daily goal of at least 30 grams. 🌱
Need tips on adding more fiber to your meals? I’d love to help—comment below or shoot me a DM! Let's get that fiber in! 💪

🌟 Why You Should Be Taking a Daily Multivitamin 🌟
Even with a well-balanced diet, it can be tough to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs from food alone. That’s where a quality multivitamin comes in!
💪Here are just a few reasons why you should make a multivitamin part of your daily routine:
✅ Boosts Immune Function – Vitamins like C, D, and zinc help keep your immune system strong and ready to fight off illness.
✅ Supports Energy Levels – B vitamins help your body turn food into energy, keeping you fueled throughout the day.
✅ Improves Skin, Hair & Nails – Get that glow from the inside out with key vitamins like A, E, and biotin.
✅ Strengthens Bones – Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are crucial for maintaining strong bones and staying active as you age.
