Time to FINALLY make a change

It happens to everyone, 

That moment when you realize that it’s time to do something about your weight.

It may happen when you’re looking in the mirror or standing on the scale.

Your first thought is to go on a ‘diet’ but as quickly as that enters your mind the ghosts of a hundred diets past return…along with all the frustration.

Then you wonder, why bother?

The weight will come back, as it always has. Then you’ll be back in front of the mirror as discouraged as ever.

The answer is not to go on another diet.

The answer is to create a vision and make it a priority.

Creating a Vision. What exactly do you wish to accomplish? If it’s weight loss, exactly how much weight? What size will you be when your goal is accomplished? Can you picture what you’ll look and feel like? Take time to clearly visualize what you really want to accomplish. This is your vision.

Make it a Priority. Having a vision is great, but unless you make it a priority it will get lost and fade away. Embrace simple, small changes that will add up to big improvements in your lifestyle. Starting small allows you to stick with it, and to build upon your success. These are your main venues for change:

What You Eat. Let’s face it, most of the foods you eat aren’t the healthiest. Some are downright terrible (the burger and fries you had this weekend). While others are simply excessive (the snacks you eat while watching TV).

The solution to cleaning up your daily diet is NOT to go back on a ‘diet’. In fact, I never want you to go on a ‘diet’ again. (Yes, you heard me right!) Instead I want you to make permanent healthy changes to your eating habits.

Here are some practical examples:

• Choose salad over chips or fries
• Don’t add butter to your food
• Eat fresh produce with every meal
• Limit desserts to one per week
• Cut out mindless snacking
• Drink water, not soda

I don’t expect you to eat a perfect diet every day of the week – that’d be very difficult. You should, however, make MORE healthy choices every day than unhealthy ones.

How You Move. Exercise is a huge component to a healthy lifestyle, and quite frankly you’re not getting enough of it. How often does an entire week go by without you ever lacing up your tennis shoes? Don’t disregard the importance and power of a good workout.

Your new healthy lifestyle means exercising on most days of the week. This may seem tough, but I have the perfect solution – the way we train our clients were created for busy people just like you who only have so much time to dedicate to exercise. We work smarter without overtraining. You only have so much time in a day. Our training sessions are only 45 minutes long!

I understand how hard it is to find the motivation to stay consistent and to push yourself. Make exercise a no-brainer—contact me to get started on a lifestyle enhancing program today.

Here are simple ways to move more:

• Watch less TV
• Stretch stiff muscles every day
• Play at the park with the kids
• Go for a jog

Your lifestyle is the balance of all the choices that you make regarding your body. Swing the balance in your favor—make a majority of your choices health conscious.

So the next time you’re in front of the mirror you won’t worry about your weight.

You’ll relish it.

Are you ready to transform your lifestyle and body?

“Lost 26 Pounds, 13.8% Body Fat, Over 12 Inches”

RobZFitness has changed my mom’s life and our lives too.  My mom’s name is Monica Alvidrez.  She started going to RobZFitness and the results now show! Unlike previous years, today she is more confident in the way she looks and the way she feels about herself.  She looks leaner and stronger more now than I have ever seen her!

She first started going to RobZFitness because my dad was deployed to Iraq.  She thought that is would be nice for her to get a full makeover in physical appearance before he returned home a year later.  So two weeks after he left, my mom started training with Taylor Green.  After developing a supportive eating plan to fit her diet and training needs she started on the path to her tremendous transformation.  After that first training session with Taylor, our lives were drastically changed!  We are now more conscious about what we eat and how much we are exercising. Our daily lives are now centered around workouts and a jumble of different classes she takes at the gym and mom always encourages us to exercise and eat right.

My mom has lost 26 pounds of body fat, increased her lean weight by 10 pounds, lost over 10 inches and improved her body fat percentage 13.8% from 32.6% to 18.8%.  Rob says she is now in better shape than 76% of women her age, up from 11% when she first started.

When my dad got home from Iraq at his mid-tour break he didn’t even recognize her when we picked him up at the airport.  Since Taylor at RobZFitness had helped her change her appearance and get her into shape my dad went back to Iraq determined to get into better shape.  He was not to be outdone by my mom!  It was all in good fun.  Our dad was well surprised and amazed at the changes she and the rest of us had made!  Who would have thought kids would fight over vegetables?  Thank you very much Taylor Green and RobZFitness!   We will miss you Taylor, but we’ll be thinking of you in Germany!

“Tired Of Having No Energy”

Just like a lot of couples that after being married we never were concerned by our weight and health. We were tired of having no energy and clothes that were fitting tighter and tighter. My low back pain and Larry’s high blood pressure were a couple of deciding factors that we had actively do something now before it was too late.

We first met Rob for our initial consultation and it was an eye opener. My weight was 167 lbs. with 30.9% body fat and Larry’s weight was 217 lbs. with 29.3%. Rob was incredibly helpful in explaining our present condition and designing our training regimen to put us on a new path of a healthier lifestyle. Rob assigned us to our trainer Taylor Green from the beginning. If it wasn’t for Rob’s help and training with Taylor, we would not have succeeded the way we did. Taylor and his perseverance in making sure we kept to the exercise plan and doing it correctly is how we knew we were in good hands. Taylor and Rob answered any questions we had, whether it was about low back pain, fatigue, and they made sure that what we ate was right or wrong.

After three months at RobZFitness we have both had a significant weight loss and we feel so much better having an active and healthy lifestyle. My weight is now down to 146 lbs and at 21% body fat. and Larry’s weight is now 178 lbs and 14% body fat. With the knowledge and skill Taylor possesses he also provided us a training regime that we can continue to do on our own 2-3 times a week.

Thank you from the bottom of our healthy hearts for starting us on a journey to a long and healthy lifestyle together.

Lost 39 lbs

Body Fat 41.8% to 29.6%

Pant Size 2XL to Medium

I have always struggled with my weight throughout my whole life. As an adult I experienced periods of mild depression. Over the years my weight spiraled out of control before I knew it. I realized that it was time to change my lifestyle for the better. I was a size 20/22 and had decided that enough was enough. For Christmas this past year, my family gave me a gift certificate to RobZFitness.

I was more than a little nervous and intimidated about going to a Gym and discussing my weight with a stranger and not to mention where I should start. I just had to put those thoughts behind me and focus on what my trainers, Rob Zulkoski had to say. The result oriented process was very organized and easy to follow. Through their dedication, motivation, passion, I have taken back control of my life. I am now more active than I have ever been and I can also say that I no longer experience any more depression.

People are so amazed with my results; they ask me if I have had surgery or a facelift. Just a few weeks ago, my hair dresser that I have been seeing for years was waiting on me and she did not even realize that it was me sitting there waiting. They can’t believe the results I have seen in just 3 months.

When I first started with RobZFitness, I weighed in at 225 pounds, and my body fat was at 41.8%. Exactly 3 months later, I have dropped a total of 39 pounds to 186 pounds, lost over 26 inches, and my body fat has dropped from 41.8% to 29.6%, a total of 12%. My clothes are continuing to get bigger and bigger on me. I have dropped from a size 2XL in pants size to a medium. All you have to do is listen to what Rob says to do and trust me that it will work, because I am living proof.

“I Lost 56lbs, 13% BF, 7″ in Waist”

Ever since I was a child I have always had a goal in mind of becoming an Air Force pilot, but at 350 pounds and size 48 pants I knew that I was a long way away from that goal.  I attempted losing the weight on my own but after reaching 325 pounds I noticed that my weight was no longer going down like I had wanted.

I heard from a friend about her colleague’s great success at RobZFitness and I decided to give them a call to see what they could offer me.  I was never looking for a quick solution to reach my goal.  I wanted to work for it because I knew at that point that I needed help to get where I wanted to be.  A quick phone call later and I was set up for my fitness evaluation with Rob.  Through the course of his evaluation I began to realize where I was on the fitness level for men at my age and where I needed to be for my goal were a lot farther apart than I had thought.  Within a week I began training at RobZFitness and I have never regretted that decision.  Even over the course of a few months they were able to find new ways to force me and my body to continue on the right path towards better overall health.

My trip to better health is not yet over, but with the help of all the trainers at RobZFitness I am much closer to it.  So far over the course of six months I can tell that I am already in better shape than I was in high school, and probably the best shape of my life this far.  So far I have lost 56 pounds, lost 13.4% body fat and lost 7.5 inches around my chest, 7 inches around my waistline and 4 inches around my thigh. Already through my short time at RobZFitness I have been able to accomplish great things and one of my favorites is not having to pay extra for the plus size clothes.  Before too much longer I will finally be able to purchase pant sizes in the 30’s and I have RobZFitness to thank for that.

“I Lost 36 lbs, 6” in Hips, and 2 Dress Sizes”

Shortly before my 47th Birthday I decided to make a change in my life that was way past due. That is LOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING IN SHAPE! It was time to start a new Path to get happy & healthy again. In many previous attempts at losing weight, I would always fail. Among a host of contributing factors in my life, the one causing the most problem was the obvious lack of self control. Not exercising and poor eating habits just added to the already big problem (I was already experiencing health concerns directly related to my weight, for instance – High Blood Pressure to name one).

So that’s when I found my way to RobZFitness. While consulting with Rob, he explained his comprehensive fitness plans and strategies on eating properly. I felt very confident in him and his team. These guys were the ONES FOR ME!

My first scheduled workout fell exactly on my 47th Birthday October 7th. Rob’s encouragement along the way helped me so much!

It’s now January 10, three months since starting this FITNESS plan, I not only feel healthier and much happier, I have LOST 36 POUNDS!!, 6.5% body fat, a couple of dress sizes!, 6 Inches in hips, 3.5 inches in waist.

I now have the knowledge that Rob provided to me of proper exercise and eating properly (a new way of life) I will be able to continue.

Going thru this experience, I believe I am equipped to go forward on my own and continue to get fit and lose more weight.

Thanks Rob!!

“Lost 55 lbs, Body Fat 32% to 11%, Pant  Size 40 – 32”

I have been weight training at RobZFitness for a little over a year now, and I can’t begin to express the difference it has made in my life.  Although I went to RobZFitness for about 3 months prior to this time, I just wasn’t ready to make the commitment and so I quit.  But as time passed by and my waist size continued to grow to a size 38 and getting tighter, I realized how much my weight gain was affecting my self-esteem and my attitude.  I had little motivation or confidence and I was losing direction for my life.  I then realized that if I didn’t make a change, I was going to make life very hard for myself.

At 250 lbs, I decided to give RobZFitness another try, and myself another chance.  I was welcomed back with compassion and encouragement from Rob and Taylor.  They helped to educate my on a very supportive eating and exercise plan.  I received plenty of assurance and encouragement that soon I began to see plenty of results that motivated me ever more.  It started with a few pounds the first week, more the second.  Then I started dropping clothing sizes.

I couldn’t believe how drastic my body fat percentage had dropped when it was time to do my measurements.  I was amazed!!  The results were happening and I was being transformed.

Overall I have lost 55 pounds of scale weight (increased 13 lbs of lean weight, lost 68 lbs of actual body fat), body fat% dropped from 32% to 11%, and Rob tells me now I am in better body fat shape than 73% of men at my age (up from 3%).  My pant size has dropped from 40 to 33 inches.  I feel great about myself and I feel more confident.

After seeing the results and the impact it has had on my life, I have decided to begin personal training school so that I can, in turn, do for somebody else that Rob and Taylor have helped me achieve in myself.

Lost 31.5 lbs, Size 8 to “0” – 3 Months

“As a mother of 2 and business owner, I felt as if I had tried everything humanly possible to get in the best shape for my health and overall well-being with the time and resources I had available to me. I had been dedicated to cardio exercise and strength building for years, but was not seeing the results I thought I should be seeing. I decided it was time to go to the experts.”

“I looked at a couple of possibilities, and determined that if I wanted the best results, I needed to go to a proven source of expertise.  I had seen RobZFitness testimonials and heard about the results and after doing some research on what I should expect and gathering a great deal of courage, I decided to walk in their door.  I found RobZ staff to be very welcoming, encouraging and knowledgeable.  As hard as I had tried all these years, many of the exercises were incorrect in technique, not enough weight, or just simply not pushing beyond what I thought I was capable of doing.”

“The results were fast and furious– I was amazed at how simple the theory of exercise and healthy eating really was, and although not one for pressing myself in the area of physical fitness, I found the benefits FAR outweigh the sweat equity.”

“Not only did I surprisingly drop 31.5 lbs of body fat and a 14.1% body fat change the first three months (a welcome plus), but lost 19 total inches (6.5” waist and 4” thigh, etc.) and was seeing visible sculpting.  I had walked in hoping to tone up, which I did, but found so much more. Rob mentioned at the beginning I was in better shape than 20% of women my age and now I am in better shape than 91% of women. I suffered from migraines since adolescence and being on RobZ plan, I did not have one migraine- which to me, was nothing short of a miracle.  The trainers helped me to understand the dynamics behind balancing food intake and how this affected the chemical balance in my system.  I had never looked forward to working out the way I have while working at RobZ.  The workouts turned out to be the biggest stress relief of my life and the education I received will follow me and motivate me for a lifetime.  My only regret is that I did not walk into RobZ sooner!  What are you waiting for?”

It Doesn’t Matter What The Scale Says!

Colleen Pounds,

Physical Therapist Assistant

Weight Scales lie!

My victory can be seen but not weighed, and it feels good.

Before RobZFitness, like so many others, I habitually stepped on the scale. My Personal Trainer immediately began drilling into my head to “Stay off of the scale”, explaining that it often gives false impressions of what really happens, which leaves people feeling defeated and depressed. Through the Education component of the RobZFitness program I learned that the only reason scale-weight is needed is to help calculate one’s Fat-to-Muscle Mass ratio. Herein lay my victory.

If I were to tell you that from May to September I lost 13.5 pounds, you might not be impressed? However, here is the big picture. Within these four months, I lost 29 lbs of body fat, gained 15.5 lbs of lean muscle mass, dropped from a size 16 to 10 and decreased my body fat from 37% to 22%! This is what I actually achieved with the in-depth education of fitness and nutrition given to me at RobZFitness.

I feel very confident that I now have the tools to maintain my results, my strength and my nutritional habits for a lifetime.

Thanks gang!

Lost 70 lbs

Body Fat 36.4% to 22.6%

Lost 14% Body Fat

Last December, my husband approached me about us setting a goal of getting healthier in 2023. So, we made an appointment to talk to Rob at RobZFitness, who was recommended to him by our primary care physician Dr. Shawn Wallace. Upon meeting with Rob, we both decided it was time to commit to a healthier way of life. With the help of Rob and Taylor, and the support of each other, we have lost about 170 pounds total over the last 8-10 months. I have lost 70 pounds and lost 14% body fat in 10 month. My overall fitness level was at 15% when I started and now its at 88% for women at my age.

Like a lot of women, I have struggled with my weight all my life, especially after kids. This time my weight loss feels different. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the beginning, but I am surprised at how much stronger I’ve become, and the weight seem to just come off, losing an average of 2 pounds a week. I am 5’10 and I haven’t weighed under 200lbs in years. Now I weigh 195. With Rob and Taylor’s encouragement, I am pushing myself to get stronger and doing exercises I never thought I could accomplish. I have a few limitations with my knees but both Rob and Taylor worked around it and still push me to get stronger.  

Rob focused more on strengthening during his sessions and I am lifting amounts I never imagined. Taylor designated Wednesdays as Carolyn’s Core night. With his help, I am doing core exercises that I never thought I was capable of. With the support of Rob, Taylor and my husband who encouraged me all the way, I am stronger and healthier than I’ve been in a long time.  

Thank you for helping me get stronger and healthier.

Lost 104 lbs in 8 Months

December 2022 I had my annual physical with Dr Wallace at TGH. He told me I needed to lose weight and the older I get I should weight train to build muscle for long-term health. The prior 3 years through COVID, I put on 50+ pounds. Dr. Wallace suggested that I talk to Rob at RobZFitness. He mentioned Rob was a friend of his and he and Taylor would help me lose weight and gain the needed muscle through their program. 

The week before Christmas my wife and I discussed our health and we decided to reach out to Rob to see what his program would offer. We soon committed to join RobZFitness for the entire 2023 year. Turned out to be one of the best investment decisions we have made. 

My intention was never to lose 100 pounds, my goal was only to get into better shape. We started to train with Rob and Taylor on a weekly basis (3xweek). As part of the program, I also started to track my daily nutritional information. Within the first month I started to see big results on the scale. Nutrition tracking and the additional cardio work I was doing on my own and I was started to physically feel much better. 

By May 2023, I had lost 70 pounds and felt amazingly better, looked completely different and started to wonder if I could maybe lose 100 pounds.  By the end of July I was down 90 pounds. Then almost exactly 8 months to the day, I hit the milestone of losing 104 pounds. Starting weight was 286 now 182lbs, I have lost 10” off my chest, 9” around waist and 4” around my thighs. I improved my fitness level for men at my age from 4% to 94%.

Having lost all the excess weight and consulting with Rob the goal now is to gain more muscle weight while keeping my body fat down. I’m looking forward to this next chapter of training at RobZFitness and the results it will produce. 

Thank you to my wife, Rob and Taylor for all their support in helping me reach this accomplishment.

13 Tips For Your Best Body

You know that diet and exercise are important when it comes to creating your best body, but you may be overlooking other techniques for getting into the best shape.

Turn the following 13 simple tips into habits and watch as your body transforms.

1) Eat a Smart Breakfast.
Most people load up on carbohydrates and simple sugars for breakfast. Cereal, pastries, smoothies and juice are all poor choices when it comes to starting your day off right. Center your breakfast around protein and healthy fat, and you’ll have energy for hours. Try a protein shake, eggs, lean breakfast meat, or a handful of nuts.

2) Get More Sleep.
If you’re not getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night then you could use more sleep. This is especially true if you’ve reached a plateau with weight loss. Give your body the 8 hours of sleep each night and make weight loss easier.

3) Just Do It.
If you’re really ready to achieve your best body ever, then dig down deep and commit. As Woody Allen famously said, “80% of success is showing up.” This is absolutely true when it comes to fitness. Show up to your workout. Even if you’re tired. Even if you’d rather be doing something else. Just do it.

4) Plan Ahead.
Take one day each week to plan your healthy meals for the following week. You don’t have to do all the shopping and cooking on that day, simply jot down what you plan to eat. This small act of planning ahead will keep you on track with healthy meals even when the week gets crazy busy.

5) Cut Out Gluten.
Many people don’t realize that they have a certain level of sensitivity to gluten, which causes intestinal inflammation and bloating. Also, gluten-filled foods are typically high in carbohydrates, which contribute to weight gain. When you cut gluten-filled items from your diet don’t fall into the trap of simply replacing those items with other high-carb items. Choose non-packaged, whole foods instead.

6) Believe In Yourself.
Do you believe that you have what it takes to transform your body? If you want to succeed in weight loss then you have to believe that it’s possible. Give yourself a pep talk and dig down deep for the courage and discipline to apply these healthy changes to your life.

7) Eat Less Dairy.
Dairy products like cheese or cream add extra fat and calories to your meals. Pass on the dairy and you’ll eliminate unnecessary calories, making weight loss quicker.

8) Sleep and Wake at the Same Time.
This tip sounds so simple, and yet it’s a powerful way to increase your daily energy. Get your body on a schedule and watch how much more productive and energetic you become.

9) Include Veggies at Every Meal.
Most people aren’t too crazy about vegetables, and probably eat less than they should. Make it a point to include a vegetable with each of your meals – even breakfast. The increase in fiber and other nutrients will give your body that extra boost that you’re looking for.

10) Ditch Packaged Food.
Throw out those packaged foods! This is one of the easiest things you can do to achieve quicker weight loss results. Packaged foods contain chemicals and additives that will slow your fitness results.

11) Drink More Water.
Being hydrated is key when it comes to creating your best body. Drink water throughout your day and limit caffeinated beverages to once daily.

12) Forget Artificial Sweeteners.
Sure, these sweeteners don’t contain calories, but they are known to increase your appetite and cravings for carbohydrates. In the quest for your best body, put down the diet soda and reach instead for some water.

13) Exercise With a Pro.
Are you exercising as efficiently as possible? Do you challenge your muscles enough during each workout? Are you keeping the routine new and fresh? These are all factors that will be taken care of for you when you work with a trained fitness professional. Working with a pro ensures that you make the most of your exercise time.

So there you have it, 13 tips that will take your results up a notch.

If you haven’t joined one of my programs yet, now is a great time to start. Together we will get you focused on your goals with my results-driven method.

Michelle Castillo – New Testimonial

Lost 125 lbs, Body Fat 38.5% to 22.9%, Pant Size 24-14

Coming from a Hispanic and Arabic culture we are always surrounded by family and food, making it hard to keep a diet. Over the years I started depending on food more whenever I was stressed, and overeating caused me to be depressed due to gaining a significant amount of weight. I was always unhappy with my figure but felt I could never find the motivation to change my lifestyle. I would always say “I’ll start on Monday” and then Monday would come around and I would postpone my diet. I made excuses for everything and would put others needs before me and my health. Took me 14 years to realize that the gained weight was not only affecting my social life, my family, my work but most importantly my health. My wake up call came when I was invited to a water park and spent the whole day getting weighed for the slide only to be denied by my size. I’ve always been the “big girl” and I accepted it, but that day I decided to change my lifestyle for the better. 

It definitely wasn’t easy but I started my journey at 330 pounds going for walks and doing workouts at home because I was too scared to go to the gym. I lost around 40 pounds on my own and due to my medical issues I had weight loss surgery.  It was the hardest recovery I had ever gone through but I kept pushing myself to stay consistent, focus on myself and my journey. 

In total, I lost 57 pounds before I started working out at RobZFitness. Taylor who was my main trainer was wonderful.  Since working out at RobZFitness I have lost another 67.5 pounds. Taylor helped me gain confidence in the gym, pushed me to keep working hard and show up for myself. As the weeks flew by I kept loosing weight and gained muscle. 

Overall, I’ve lost a total of 125 pounds. At RobZFitness I went from 273 pounds to 205.5 and my body fat dropped from 38.5% to 22.9%. I went from a 4XL to a large in shirts, and a size 24 to 14 in pants.  

Choosing to further my weight loss journey at RobZFitness has been the best decision and I would recommend them to anyone starting out trying to lose weight.
