Today at approximately 5:30am

I lost my bet with Elaine.

Before & After

Before weight is 158.8 After weight is 138.3

Deep down even though that I lost the bet I am very happy and proud of Elaine for losing 20.5lb in 6 weeks.

She took control of her life and not only looks absolutely hot but her attitude has taken a complete 180. Just watch what happened this morning.

Elaine overcame many obstacles including a nasty looking blister on her toe as you can see in the pictures below.

But she didn’t let that and the fact that she is a full time teacher get in her way to her goal (I mean bet). She walked the talk, she put up and now doesn’t need to shut up. She accomplished her goal.

A big congratulations to Elaine Maxwell to take me up on my challenge and coming through!!!!

In case you don’t remember Elaine below is her video from 6 weeks ago.

I’ve got a killer motivational and video for you today.

It’s actually one of my awesome clients that was ecstatic about her results at 5:30 in the morning.

But first I need to get up on my soap box for a minute and get something off my chest.

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE DRUNK  FIFTY YEAR OLD TRAINER/GYM OWNER WHO GOT KICKED OUT OF RA SUSHI  AT THE CHINO HILLS SHOPPES LAST FRIDAY.

Before I start I want to thank the Sheriff department and the RA Sushi management for escorting him out of the establishment.

A BIG THANK YOU!

It’s awesome to know that so many cool people live in this area.

Okay… here’s the deal.

I’m so FREAK’IN tired of the haters!

All they put out is piss and vinegar.

They cry like little babies, put out inflammatory remarks, threats and when it comes down to backing it up don’t do S***.

To the haters I say don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

What’s even more funny is that the one in particular claims to be a fitness professional.

The point I want to make is:

I wouldn’t go to a dentist if his  teeth is all messed up.

Would you go to a mechanic if his car constantly broke down.

I would also think twice about hiring a personal trainer if he couldn’t get anyone in shape. Or worse if he can’t get himself in shape.

S***, some don’t even have a single success story – but they manage to give themselves EXPERT status.

WTH does that mean anyway!?!

-THE JIG IS UP! -

It’s one of three things with these Jokers…

They either have ZERO industry experience and get into personal training for the wrong reasons.

They don’t have solid business systems put in place and they wonder why they have to move to a different location every few years because they can’t seem make it. One of my very good friend and client Mr. Feinman told me once “No matter where one goes they can’t escape from themselves”.

Or they catch the vapors and get VAPORIZED when someone is actually delivering great services and delivering solid results for their clients and they go into HYPER HATER-ISM mode and spew their venom.

I’m not saying that I’m all that         that’s stupid!!!

Yeah, I know my stuff. And I’m REALLY good at what I do.

I still get up at 3:15am and work out at  4am. Not because I have to BECAUSE I WANT TO AND IT’S A PART OF MY LIFE.

I still work 12-15 hour days not because I have to BECAUSE  I WANT TO. I LOVE WHAT I DO.

In my twenties, I was taking 14-20 units per semester, working 35-40 hours per week as a personal trainer, getting ready and winning numerous bodybuilding titles including Mr. Orange County, Mr. Los Angeles and a dozen more all while passing the National Boards of Chiropractic Examiners the first time around.

Now I own one of the most successful personal training facilities in California.

I am 37 years old now, wise enough to know to fight with my brain not with my fist. After all last time I checked our brain is what put us at the top of the food chain.

I’ve personally helped over five thousand people get in the best shape of their lives and have clients all over the world.

I’ve authored the book “Total Body Transformation Secrets” which is available worldwide. You can get it on Amazon Here, download it here: www.TotalBodyTransformation.com or come support me on September 25th at my book signing at Barnes and Noble in Chino Hills. I will donate my portion of the profits to Shriner’s Hospital for Children.

I’m not saying any of this to toot my own horn or to impress you. Most of you reading this already know this stuff.

I’m telling you this to impress upon you that my industry, like all industries has its good, bad, ugly and THE HATERS!!!

My advice to you… BEWARE OF THE SKINNY CHEF.

Or in this case … THE DRUNK TRAINER FIFTY YEAR OLD OUT OF SHAPE TRAINER.

And NEVER EVER be a hater.

If you aren’t good at something, either get good at it or get the F#%K out and choose another industry.

Because haters never prosper.

Okay, where were we before the haters interrupted?…  OH yes, here is yet another client totally ecstatic at Fitness Concepts. (A lesson to be learned here)

Do you have Haters? Leave me a comment and let’s share some Hater stories.

In my opinion the biggest enemy to mankind’s progress is comfort. We as human beings naturally seek comfort. There is nothing wrong with being comfortable and enjoying life as long as it’s planned comfort.

Imagine if the Wright brothers didn’t like getting uncomfortable. We wouldn’t have planes. Imagine life without planes.

What if Thomas Edison stopped trying to invent electricity? Everyone laughed at him and ridiculed him after he literally failed over ten thousand times. Edison didn’t give up. Imagine life without electricity.

As kids we all fell down hundreds of times. But still got up and tried walking again only to fall down again and again. But we kept trying.(side note: it’s hilarious watching Bailee walk. She looks like a drunk driver taking the sobriety test)

Somehow as we get older when we fall down we want to quit, we want to give up, we want to make excuses. Why is that?

BECAUSE IT’S MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE TO QUIT, GIVE UP, AND MAKE EXCUSES

It’s not easy getting up early, it’s much more comfortable staying in bed and pushing the snooze button 37 times.(Trust me I struggle with that every morning myself)

It’s not easy going to the gym because it’s much more comfortable staying home watching reruns of your favorite TV show. (Entourage rules)

It’s not easy making healthy food decisions and planning your meals because it’s much easier and convenient for us to drive through In-N-Out and order #1 combo, animal style with a vanilla shake. (Elaine are you with me) Side note: I love In-N-Out as much as anyone in the world and occasionally do indulge.

As you can see as humans we got to learn to get comfortable with discomfort. We have to learn to embrace diversity. This is when we grow (not by height or I would have already been 7 feet tall not 5’4 and a half) Yes when you are as short as me every bit counts.

All of us reading this post have gone through some hardship, discomfort, and pain only to come out a better person as a result.

How many times you looked back at a hard time in your life and say “I am glad that happened because it made me who I am today”.

When my baby girl was 6 months old we enrolled her in swimming classes with Cogua Aquatics. It was the hardest thing for me to see her cry.

Personal note: The first time she got her shots I started crying. I couldn’t stand seeing her cry.

Personal story: I almost drowned when I was 3 years old. It only takes a split second.

But look at my little 13 months old princess now she can swim like a fish. She and I both had to learn to get uncomfortable to reach our goal. I am hoping to teach her to learn to embrace diversity at a young age.

By the way I fully recommend Cogua Aquatics for swimming lessons. They can be reached at 909-234-1827.

As all of you know, yesterday Fitness Concepts launched its “Camp”.

This is an indoor Boot Camp designed to get you in shape in a hurry.

Here is a little peak of what happened on the first day.

Side Note:

I think Alejandra and Judy (the instructors at the camp) have some personal issues.

They had everyone sweating like a mule when we were all finished.

I personally think these gals weren’t hugged enough as a child. 

See the below video and you be the judge?
