Plateau Proof Fitness Formula

I have hundreds of people a week that I teach group fitness too.  I have to say that there a lot of men that take my classes.  I have asked many of them what they enjoy about group fitness.  The feedback - "it's tough, I'm challenged, you push me and your workout keeps me out of a plateau."

Now most you guys that don't do any cardio at all!  No, no  your 10/15 warm up/cool down on the treadmill doesn't count.  



But on a serious note. If you want to increase your stamina and your endurance, I truly suggest you mix up your workouts.  We ALL hit plateau's and they can be quite frustrating.  Plateau's are recipes for folks to quit working out. It happens to ALL of us.  Your body adapts to your workouts, it becomes more efficient at it and, therefore, doesn't expend as many calories doing it. You may find that after your initial weight loss, your progress will slow down and eventually stop. If your body doesn't have enough fuel to sustain your level of activity, you can actually stop losing weight. 










There is a brand new format out there that I teach. It is making it's way through the United States at a very rapid pace.  It's called R.I.P.P.E.D.   Once you get a taste of it, you get hooked.  

What is R.I.P.P.E.D.?      



R.I.P.P.E.D. –  Is a "Plateau Proof Fitness Formula" that helps you to create continuity, consistency and challenge in each and every R.I.P.P.E.D. class. It is Plateau Proof, because each component of the workout provides a uniquely different emphasis or system response, so your body never gets accustomed to the constantly changing format. Thus, regular R.I.P.P.E.D. participants achieve undeniable, ultimate results in minimal time, boasting 750-1000 calories burned in just 50 minutes.


This total body, high intensity style program, utilizing free weights, resistance and body weight, masterfully combines the components of R.I.P.P.E.D.--- Resistance, Intervals, Power, Plyometrics and Endurance as the workout portion along with Diet suggestions to help you attain and maintain your physique in ways that are fun, safe, doable and extremely effective. The deliberate combination of the R.I.P.P.E.D. elements and how they are precisely organized in the R.I.P.P.E.D. class format provide the basis for the One Stop Body Shock System, by stimulating both, different energy systems and muscles in each workout segment, changing the focus and activities every 6 to 9 minutes. Along with driving, motivating music, participants jam through R.I.P.P.E.D. with smiles, determination and strength. No boredom here, for all levels, R.I.P.P.E.D. is effective, it’s tough yet doable; R.I.P.P.E.D. will absolutely challenge your levels of fitness and endurance!



Since I have been teaching the class the SUCCESS stories have been amazing.  I have people that have lost over 100 1bs., people now able to run marathons and 5ks.  These are things that they never thought they could accomplish.  But, because they stepped into a R.I.P.P.E.D. class they have become true athletes in just the 27 weeks I have been teaching this format.  They can't reach a plateau because we change up the workout and shuffle it.


So, next time you reach a plateau, don't be so afraid to step into a group fitness class. Or you know, sign up for a bootcamp in the park.  You are in good hands -  We are skilled, educated, well trained professional athletes that want to help you succeed in all of your fitness goals!
