The 2025 Cal Fit Finale Member Awards Ceremony!
We’re celebrating:
• The wins that mattered
• The people who showed up — even when it was hard
• The kind of progress you don’t always see in a mirror or on a scale
One of the biggest moments?
Most Valuable Member (MVM) voted on by members
We’ve also got:
• More award categories to highlight real, meaningful growth
• A live giveaway for protein powder (must be present to win)
• And a few reflections from the year we just crushed together
You’re crushing your fitness goals… until you’re not.
Ever notice how the more progress you make, the stronger the pull back becomes?
It’s not lack of discipline.
It’s not willpower.
It’s your internal GPS pulling you toward what’s familiar, even if what’s familiar sucks (your nervous system prefers a known hell to an unknown heaven)
In this call, Mitch breaks down:
👉 The real reason you get stuck at 70%
👉 Why your subconscious fights change (even when you want it)
👉 How to reset your internal “coordinates” so momentum becomes automatic
👉 The one shift that makes your goals feel natural, not forced
If you’ve ever felt like you're on repeat with your habits — this one will hit home.
Watch it, breathe it in, and let it rewire the way you approach your goals.

Can artificial sweeteners actually help with weight loss and long-term weight maintenance?
In this video, I break down a brand new year-long study — the largest of its kind — looking at what happens when people trying to keep weight off use artificial sweeteners vs. don't.
We’ll cover:
Why weight maintenance is the real challenge (not just losing the weight)
What the SWEET trial revealed about gut health, metabolism, and body weight
The truth about sweeteners and insulin, cravings, or fat gain
Why sugar alcohols can cause bloating (and how to avoid the worst offenders)
Practical takeaways you can use to reduce calories without cutting out sweet foods
If you've ever wondered whether Coke Zero, sugar-free protein bars, or sweetened yogurts are sabotaging your goals, this video clears it up once and for all.
📌 Bottom line: sweeteners aren’t magic… but they can absolutely help if used well. And the science is finally catching up to the common sense.

Most people coast through December.
Then wonder why January feels like a mountain.
But the truth is: the last 30 days of the year decide what the next year looks like.
In this workshop, I walk you through the exact playbook to finish the year strong — not by grinding harder, but by showing up smarter.
We dive into a cautionary tale about how I gained 11 lbs in Dec. 2023 and rewrite the script for this year with...
💥 The “one goal” rule
💥 The myth of motivation (and what to do instead) so there's no more "Start Monday" hesitation
💥 The 5 “time assassins” silently stealing your results
💥 How to stack identity-shaping wins in 30 days or less
If you’ve ever undone 11 months of progress in one bad month (been there...)
This is your shot to flip the script — and start next year already ahead.
🎯 Start now. Not Monday. Nor January. It never pays to put things off.

Most people gain weight in December and they never see it coming.
I just recorded a quick episode breaking down the simple move that keeps my clients from turning one big meal into a full-month spiral.
It isn’t a diet.
It isn’t willpower.
And it’s probably something you’ve never tried.
Listen in and steal it for the holidays.

If you were a teenager in the ’90s or early 2000s like I was, chances are you knew someone chugging chalky powder before gym class.
That same supplement you might have taken to bench press more in HS might also be one of the most promising — and safest — tools for aging better in your 40s, 50s and beyond.

How to separate fact from fiction when it comes to news headlines...
In this session, we walked through a simple but powerful framework to help you check whether your daily actions actually align with your bigger goals.
Because let’s be honest, most of us say we want to lose weight, gain energy, or feel more confident…
But when you zoom in on how we’re spending our time, energy, and attention?
There’s a disconnect.
This Alignment Audit helps you spot that misalignment — without shame or overwhelm — and gives you a clear path to shift back into sync.
It helps ID your biggest bottleneck and break through.
You'll walk away with:
A dead-simple way to map your current habits
Clarity on what’s driving progress vs. what’s draining you
Permission to stop doing what’s not serving you
A fresh lens on how to actually move the needle without adding more
Grab the worksheet (DM me "AUDIT" on IG @mitchcalvertfitness https://instagram.com/mitchcalvertfitness to grab it) watch the replay, and use this as your midweek momentum reset.
You don’t need more willpower.
You just need your actions and goals on the same team.

If I could go back and talk to my 21-year-old self (260 lbs, crushing 3,000 calories of eggs and cheese), these are the lessons I’d beg him to learn earlier.

💥 The warm-up mistake that’s killing your gains before your first rep
🎧 Why your playlist and self-talk can literally make you stronger

Like, subscribe, and drop a comment: What’s one belief you’re rewriting this week?
I used to think more sweat = more progress
But the truth? Most of my early workouts were ego-driven, chaotic, and barely moved the needle.
In this video, I’m breaking down the 4 biggest shifts that changed everything about how I train today:
- Why rest is your secret weapon (not the enemy)
- How I went from chasing burn to building real strength
- The actual reason your progress is stalling (hint: not effort)
- The split that works for real life, not bodybuilders or influencers
If you’ve ever felt stuck, sore, or like you’re spinning your wheels in your workouts, this one’s for you.
Fixing these mistakes helped me drop 60+ lbs, build muscle, and finally train in a way that lasts — and I teach the same approach to busy parents inside Cal Fit.
