The regulars at the gym I go to twice a week have noticed no real new year resolution driven surge of new members this year... and we wondered why?

Our best guess was the impact of weight-loss drugs; giving people a different route rather than gym training, to pushing weight loss as a news year commitment.

Not sure if that accounts for all of the absence(s) but it is very noticeable this year compared to others.

The Dumbbell Front Squat with Purpose⚡️

My online rockstar client demonstrates utilizing front-racked dumbbells for a 3-second isometric hold to build raw strength and core stability. Keeping the elbows high ensures perfect upper-body posture and mimics the demands of a barbell squat clean.🏋🏽‍♂️

The secret to the hold? Complete breath control and bracing under tension. ⏸️💪🏾

Train Biceps Smarter, Not Just Harder 💪🏾

In this 2-minute video, I break down one of the most overlooked training tools: tempo.⏰

🗣️I demonstrate a simple biceps curl combo using a resistance tube—but you can use cans, bottles, dumbbells or a ball. Seated or standing. No gym required.

✅ Accessible, joint-friendly, and effective

🎯It’s not just about reps or weight—it’s about how you move. Let’s train with purpose.

📣Pro Fit Tip: Offset Squat for Strength

↔️Most people train squats with even loading. Offset squats complement your routine by revealing side-to-side imbalances that often go unnoticed. That becomes even more important after a lower-body injury (knee, hip, or back) and as we age.

🎯My online #fitness client shows how a simple shift in load placement challenges the core and deep stabilizers—building balance, control, and strength that supports you beyond the #gym.💥

💪🏾 Fit Tip from the Fitness Court in Malden, MA

⏰As we age, favoring one side can lead to instability, joint strain, and even increase fall risk. That’s why unilateral exercise is a game-changer!

👟Watch as I show you a few variations (assisted and unassisted) you can do for home or the gym!

🎯 Train smart. Move better. Age strong.

Caturday Clean-Grip Push Press 🐾🏋🏽‍♂️

I’m 51, with over 20 years in the #fitness industry—and I still love training for power (speed × strength). One of my favorite moves: the clean-grip push press.⚡️

🐈‍⬛But before the barbell moves, safety comes first—even if it’s just a cat toy in the way.

🎯Power training isn’t just for athletes or the young. There are variations to meet every age and ability. Train smart. Train strong. Train with purpose.
