Innovative Results Kettlebell Sport Team Competitor, Manny Aragon Shares His Story

April 4, 2017 by IR Staff 3 Comments

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I started training at Innovative Results in November of 2014. Two and a half years ago.

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

Well, to make a long story… long, I met Aaron about 8 years ago at a toastmaster’s event and came into Innovative Results at the time for a session- It KILLED me… and I was pretty committed to my current trainer at the time, So…I didn’t go back.

Fast forward 6 years later and my wife is telling me that she is finally serious about finding a trainer that she can be accountable to so that she can finally get fit…(she is a former collegiate coxswain and volleyballer- she’s a former jock…

I KNEW that she would absolutely LOVE Aaron- so I set up an assessment- – she did LOVE Aaron (it’s hard not to <3) and I signed her up….BUT I was a LITTLE bit JEALOUS (as a recovering triathlete)… Innvoative Results was SOOO COOL and I wanted to go too. So I signed up for a month unlimited special and ended up going 5 out of 6 days a week for a month. Yes, it was challenging but totally AWESOME…

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Dude! Where do I start?!…Ok, Ok. I have more physical confidence. As a lifelong “ tall and skinny guy” I have never felt fast, strong, or solid in any way…

Now I am competing on the Innvoative Results Kettlebell Team. =)

I have more physical confidence as I “feel” stronger.

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

IR is like family. That. Is. All.

How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

Athletes are my primary clientele. As a runner, and triathlete, and now as a member of the Innovative Results Kettlebell Sport Competition Team, I have more street credibility with my clientele and perspective clientele. Added bonus, my work is now easier and since I also teach my clients how to move, I have become more educated as a movement professional. Aaron Guyett is a nationally recognized MASTER TRAINER- he teaches professionals from all over the globe about fitness, movement, and, most importantly- EXCELLENCE in all aspects of life.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

Start at your own pace. Aaron and the crew AND the Innovative Results Family (clients) are all here to help you succeed. As a client it totally STOKES me to see new folks show up and stick with it.

STICK WITH IT. You WILL improve. Give your body time. Be PATIENT.

Folks who come in consistently WILL see improvement in 30 days. But the real transformation takes place over the long term. This is the difference between dabbling and actually making a LIFE CHANGE.

There are MANY folks at Innovative Results who have been with Innovative Results for many years. I will be there for a LONG time…

How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

I am doing something that I NEVER expected I would be doing…Competitive Kettlebell Sport. I have a rather severe Scoliosis. NEVER thought I’d be lifting weights…NEVER thought lifting weights competitively would make my body feel better. It DOES! But it does because of 1) Aaron’s expertise in Kettlebell Sport (he is a Kettlebell Sport world championships contender) and 2) my consistency in training.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?

I recommend Innovative Results to EVERY one of my clients. They ALL need to move better and have better access to usable functional strength and positive mental programming.

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?

Umm…This is my FAMILY now… Nuff said!

A Fitness Playground Story, Juan Dmitruk Shares His Heart About His Improved Quality of Life at Innovative Results

March 30, 2017 by IR Staff 2 Comments

Thank you very much for the compliments I received about being the perfect client and working hard while staying consistent.

It wouldn’t have been possible with out Innovative Results‘ – The Fitness Playground.

Back in 2008 I was training (both in the studio and the Gym) towards my Black Belt in Kempo Karate Unfortunately due to misguided trainers at the Gym, I Herniated a disk in my lower back.

L3 & L5 with a 2.5 mm protrusion of my damaged disk.

After that incident I went around looking for different alternatives in how to get better from my Hernia with out surgery or any medical procedures , cortisone shots, etc.

I went back to the OLD GYM thinking I will get better by having a trainer in every session , followed every single instruction I was given , did what I was told every time, followed the routines perfectly but like every 3 – 5 weeks my back was again in severe pain. The pain was so bad some times that I wouldn’t be able to walk and I had to rest for 2 -3 weeks and then start all over again.

Got tired of the BS and I looked for personal trainers, out of three I visited no one really fulfilled my ideas in HOW they will help me.

I looked for CrossFit places and again visited two of them and didn’t feel the good vibe, since the trainers were absolutely A…..holes.

Finally I found Innovative Results a Fitness Playground Gym in an Industrial area, first time I visited the place I thought it was a joke… But MARK Elmasry told me just give us an opportunity and If you don’t like it we will refund your money, so I tried and I became addicted to the place and the trainers.

You asked me to answer few questions and I feel very privileged to do so:

I started training in Innovative Results back 4 years ago March 2013
The reason I started with Innovative Results was because I was very tired of being injured all the times, due to bad trainers or people that didn’t care.
The improvements came after 90 – 120 days. Not Feeling any pain in my lower back was the first positive sign.
No Pain in my back made me feel incredible, I noticed something was working well, my CORE starting to feel strong again, so I increased from 2 to 3 times a week for training.
Innovative Results helped me in just about every single aspect of my life. Not feeling PAIN was the most important, but also helped me at work , just to be able to function the way I was before my injury, to move and do things with out limitations, to be HAPPY again and not afraid if would make the wrong move my back will be in pain.
My suggestion for the beginners is to be patient. The results will come not in 30 days but they will. In my case it took more than 3 months and after that it hasn’t STOP.
Innovative Results changed my life in all the aspects. If you are healthy you are happy and all the people around you will be touched with the same feeling. Family , friends, co-workers see the differences in you, in a POSITIVE way, that sometimes it’s very hard to explain, because you are always in a good mood, always ready to help others, full of energy, good sense and well being are just few of the many ways I feel since I joined the Innovative Results Family.
I would like to tell everybody about my experience, young people, adults all ages. It is always good to start , to feel good and happy. It doesn’t matter if you can’t crawl , or keep up with the others, don’t underestimate yourself, remember just by being at Innovative Results you are winning, you are improving your health, you look and making a big change in your life and the ones around you.
I stayed committed to my training because I LOVE the way I feel, because after 4 years I can squat over 180 pounds and my back is GREAT, because I can enjoy my glass of wine every night and nobody believes I am 55 years OLD.

The only thing left I have to say is THANK YOU MARK, AARON, MAD, MASON , JESSICA , CODY, DANE and the friends I made thru these 4 years at The Fitness Playground – Innovative Results.

Thank you again.

Irvine Personal Trainer Solves Your Weight Loss Resolution

December 31, 2016 by ptpt 26 Comments

Irvine Personal Trainer Solves the New Year’s Resolution, To Lose Weight, with Simplicity, Automation, and Delegation

By: Aaron Guyett

The idea is to win or succeed in all of your endeavors and desires, and if you lose or fail, learning should occur to win the next time. This idea and the novel idea that all that has happened in the past is done and over, it can only be used to make better decisions for the future and to create the “right” actions, thoughts and words in the present. I think more than making the “right” decisions is being happy with the decisions made. So there is a one question to ask yourself before you continue. If you want to win…what is the emotion or reason behind the supposed #1 New Year’s Resolution, to lose weight?

If the reason or emotion is deep seeded enough, and the visualization of your success brings about happiness, let’s make your dreams come true!

First, let’s simplify.

Losing weight is as simple as calories in and calories out. If this is true scientifically, you need only create thoughts, actions, and words to create a caloric deficit. How will you do this? Magic number 5:

Write down your current situation specifically, with as many details as possible.
Write down your goal specifically with as many details as possible. Now put away number one, and don’t look at it until March. Put your goal everywhere you look. When you see it remind yourself OUT LOUD what you are doing and why you are doing it (refer to the emotion or reason for the New Year’s Resolution).
Know you can do it! (If you can’t get past this, than stop wasting your time reading this article)
Become conscious of what you eat! (Write it all down. Everything that you put in you mouth liquid or solid, and know the calories) Journaling your diet is more of a mental task for yourself. If you don’t do it, hang up the resolution.
Become active! Kill your TV, computer, (insert your biggest time waster here), and get outside and move! If you need help with this, email info@innovative-results.com.

Now it is time to automate.

Automation frees up time for you to do other things besides calculate calories and prepare meal plans. Two ways to do this:

Get a trainer to do it for you. Email us at info@innovative-results.com
Get an app (myfitnesspal is my favorite) and start recording your nutrition, hydration, and workouts. You will still need self-discipline. They will help you out, and it is free!

Last but not least delegate.

Delegation of your responsibilities, accountability, and discipline is a sure fire way to keep the flame burning bright and hot! 5 ways to delegate, what the delegation is:

Accountability, responsibility, and disciplined can be delegated to a trainer and the trainer should help instill self-accountability, responsibility, and discipline.
Family should hold you accountable to your goals. Be sure to describe the task they will be holding for you, because they love you and want you to succeed. If this is not the case with your family, fire them and make a new one.
Friends should provide the same accountability systems as your family, if they are not on track with you, then your success should live with their uninvolved, unhelpful lives somewhere else.
Co-workers cannot be fired, but they can be warned of the money that is involved should they adhere to your requests. Don’t have money? Tell them you are in a huge competition, and if you win you can take two people on a trip to the Cayman Islands. Hmmmm…who should I pick? (You might not win the competition, but you will win some hearts and minds for the time it takes you to get to your goal—maybe even some cheerleaders)
Once you get to your goals you may rehire your lost family members, friends, and trainer for the spread of your newly acquired outlook on life. You did it!

I believe in you, and I know you deserve success in health, wellness, and peak performance. I have been creating this success with love, happiness, and abundance for years, and I have seen a lot of people create it as well.

Innovative Results has Irvine Personal Trainers to help you reach your fitness goals by providing a well balance system of mindset, movement and recovery. They can help you achieve what ever your healthy goals are. Please email for more information or a FREE trial at info@innovative-results.com.

7 Tips To Keep Holiday Weight Off This Year From Innovative Results

November 13, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

Most people will gain 5-10 lbs between the beginning of November and the New Year!

Are Holidays Making You Fat?

Most people will allow parties, dinners, shopping and other distractions ‘sideline’ them for 2 months…

Start today and make a decision to stay on track with your fitness goals.

Remember why you started making these changes: improve quality of life, live for your kids, enjoy activities, breath easier, or look better for your significant other.

What still needs to change?

Picture it, write it down and make it a priority.

What can you do to stay on track?

Here are 7 Tips to Keep Holiday Weight Off This Year- Adopt three or so of the following strategies:

Use the appetizer plate for dinner. (smaller plate)
Put only two items on your plate during any given trip to the table. Return as many times as you like, but only take two items each time.
Use the volume approach to make yourself feel full. Chow down on the big healthy stuff (broccoli and carrots) and then see if you have room for the rest.
When you think you will be distracted by an important (or fun) conversation, set the food down and give it your full attention. Remember, the more you’re distracted by people or events–the Superbowl—perhaps– the more you will tend to eat unknowingly.
If you are really worried about overeating at a cocktail party or buffet-style meal, arrive late or leave early. If you show up late, most of the good stuff will be gone. Leave early and you will make it easier to avoid a second (or third) helping of dessert.
Don’t wear comfortable clothing to a party! Wear your tightest dress or pants and then put a belt on top. You’ll not only look hot, you’ll know exactly when you’ve eaten too much.
Stick to your healthy eating habits 80-90% of the time, then plan cheat meals (parties).

A healthy body comes from healthy eating.

Stay Active!

Stick to your workout plan during the holidays.

Most people let shopping, parties and everything else throw them into a tail spin.

Plan your workouts into your day and make them a priority.

Location or lack of a gym is NOT an excuse.

If you’ll take this info and apply it, you will avoid gaining weight this holiday season.

If you have specific questions or concerns, talk to your coach.

” Losing 60 pounds and finishing my first half marathon well is enough for me to have confidence in my coaches and my fitness playground – Innovative Results.”

August 6, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

When I first met, Anshika, she came off as smart, focused, and didn’t want to waste her time and money on a fitness trainer and fitness training program that didn’t work.

She has since proven how effective a solid fitness trainer, nutrition coach, and fitness training program can be with a smart and focused client.

Check out Anshika Rakesh’s story below:

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I joined Innovative results around 2006 or 2007.

It’s so long that I don’t even remember…ha ha ha!

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

I had my first baby in 2005.

I had gained 70 pounds.

I did come back to my original weight which is 105 pounds, but was left with loads of loose skin and felt horrible.

My confidence had gone, and my stamina left with my confidence.

The regular gym was boring, and I didn’t have time to run everyday.

Innovative Results was a god send, and fell in love with their style right away.

Around that time Innovative results was a pioneer in its style.

All the crossfits and bootcamps that you see now, started much later.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

I have had 2 pregnancies with Innovative Results.

I have not only come back to my original weight, but got back my muscle and body toned within no time.

My metabolism, sleep pattern, stamina has improved tremendously.

Losing 60 pounds and finishing my first half marathon in 2 hrs 20 mins is enough for me to have confidence in my coaches and my playground Innovative Results.

What keeps you coming back to Innovative Results?

The workouts at Innovative results are never boring.

I have never felt that I am doing the same exercise every time.

Everyday exercise regime concentrates on a different body parts like upper body, legs and of course bootcamp and crossfit style training is never forgotten.

How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

I have high tolerance to pain, have much more stamina, can be on foot all day, and am able to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and biking for longer hours.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

Weight loss, lean body mass are goals that can be accomplished if you are persistent and consistent with your exercise regime and good diet.

So have patience, you will achieve it.

How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

I have become more confident.

I can carry myself in any outfit.

I love food and I don’t feel guilty anymore.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?

All my close friends.

I feel whosoever is not part of this family is losing in a lot of things.

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?

Stay fit and healthy and a successful runner with least aches and pains have always been my top priorities.

Plus the trainers at Innovative Results are so well adept with all new and effective solutions towards my goal.

Increase Your Happiness and Focus with Innovative Results Fitness Gym and Coaches

July 10, 2016 by IR Staff 3 Comments

Increase your happiness and focus with Innovative Results fitness gym and coaches just like Beatrice Ary.

The Orange County Fitness Playground has been Beatrice’s home away from home for the past six months, and she has been getting stronger, more flexible, and improved your muscle tone with us.

She has been such an avid member that I asked her a few questions about why she loves it here at the Innovative Results fitness gym, and why she likes training with the Innovative Results fitness coaches.

This is what she said:

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I started training at the beginning of February.

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

I started training with Innovative Results to lose some weight and increase mobility/flexibilty.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Definitely! I think overall I’ve increased my energy levels and see gains in strength all the time

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

I like the team!

You guys are really helpful and drive the intensity hard plus the movements are difficult but not dangerous.

Plus, you don’t make me wear shoes.

How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

It has definitely given me a boost of energy at work and my coworkers and supervisor can see that I am not lagging at the end of the day.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

I think that they should choose a schedule they can stick to, I knew I wouldn’t have the energy and often wouldn’t be able to make it to workout after work so I chose 5 am.

5 am is still probably earlier than I need but I like the other clients and the general calm of the morning at 5 am.

I wouldn’t say I am a morning person, but I have always worked better going to sleep early and getting up early.

Anyway it’s about what is going to work for them 95% of the time.

I might encourage them to try a morning just because it is so much easier to blow off an evening workout.

How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

I feel better and it keeps me on track with a healthy diet because it certainly feels like a waste to train and then eat crap.

I am always happier and more focused when I have a physical exercise routine that lets me kind of turn off my brain and focus on the exertion.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?

I would love everyone I know to experience Innovative Results.

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the Innovative Results fitness gym?

I can tell that on the days I don’t workout because I was lazy or slept late I’m just sort of continually sleepy and groggy, IR energizes me and reminds of my goals.

Exercising in the morning or during the day makes me more aware of my posture and body the entire day.

I take more time to stretch or recover.

I do my best to stay committed to my goals to look and feel better and improve my strength which I guess with constant reminders get me to eat healthy and wake up at 4:35 to see your smiling face everyday.

Better Habits in Nutrition Meal Planning and Sleep Are Just a Few of the Many Reasons Alex Calvillo Loves Innovative Results

June 26, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

Alex Calvillo Improved her quality of life at Innovative Results - The Orange County Fitness Playground — Improved Quality of Life

Alex Calvillo is special to me.

She really, really, really wanted to make a BIG change in her looks and lifestyle, and she had already lost a lot of weight before coming to Innovative Results.

She worked hard, and focused for a while, but became a bit frustrated with the amount of effort she put in, and the slow changing body.

I had a few deep conversations with her, and we were able to see how far she had come, as well as change her perspective on future outcomes…this is when the BIG IMPROVEMENTS BEGAN TO HAPPEN.

Her physical body continued its slow and steady improvement, but her mindset, attitude, motivation, and energy SKYROCKETED!!!

Since then, she has continued to be a new person mentally, and it has been awesome to read her raving reviews on Yelp!, Facebook, and Google+…as well as get to hear her perspective on fitness training at Innovative Results.

Check out her perspective below:

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I started training here around August of 2014.

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

I was looking for something different than my repetitive, mundane workout routine and a friend told me he thought Innovative Results would be a good fit.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Push ups, sit ups, pull ups, chin ups, squats, deadlifts, rows, and the list goes on.

My mind.

All better.

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

The coaches and the progressions.

I didn’t have to think about what I was going to be doing for my daily workout because they write it all for you.

Each morning a coach says hello to you like you’re the only one that’s walked through the door.

So excited to be doing what they’re doing, and it shows.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

Get a touch!

There’s no advice needed.

If you come, you’ll find your place here.

How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

My quality of life – hands down.

Obviously, the workout itself has given me better mobility, endurance and strength, but I have been able to take much more away with me.

I’ve formed better habits in my nutrition and meal planning, as well as sleeping.

I’ve learned enough from Innovative Results that I can take what I’ve learned to my own job as a fitness instructor, and improve others’ quality of life.

My perspective of much of my world around me has changed and I feel happier, stand taller and am more confident meeting new people.

Something I never thought I would get from a gym.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?

Literally anyone that needs any positive influence in their life.

So everyone!

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?

Because it feels good.

“I am doing something that I NEVER expected I would be doing – Competitive Kettlebell Sport because of Innovative Results.”

June 24, 2016 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

kettlebell, kettlebell team, innovative results kettlebell team, Amanda Clover, Keri Guyett, Harrel Carman, Aaron Guyett, Manny Aragon, Christabel Tabbada, Jessica Ciske — Some of the Innovative Results Kettlebell Team

When I first met Manny, I was looking to improve my public speaking and network with some local people in Irvine at a Toastmasters meeting.

I didn’t end up staying with the Toastmasters, but I ended up becoming very close friends with Manny several years later.

His love of learning, growing, and developing is why I am so close to him.

He has a deep hunger to understand and learn the simple and the complex.

He also has a deep desire to help people (He is a very accomplished structural integration practitioner and nutrition consultant).

When I read his answers to my questions below, I was awed, as I highly respect his viewpoint, because I know how intelligent and experienced he is in the body movement, integration, and healing process.

Enjoy Manny Aragon’s story with Innovative Results.

1. When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I started training at Innovative Results in November of 2014.

2. Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

So I signed up for a month unlimited special and ended up going 5 out of 6 days a week for a month. Yes, it was challenging but totally AWESOME!!!

3. What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Dude! Where do I start?!…Ok, Ok. I have more physical confidence. As a lifelong “ tall and skinny guy” I have never felt fast, strong, or solid in any way…

Now I am competing on the IR Kettlebell Team. =)

I have more physical confidence as I “feel” and am stronger.

4. What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

IR is like family. That. Is. All.

5. How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

Athletes are my primary clientele.

As a runner, and triathlete, and now as a member of the Innovative Results Kettlebell Sport Competition Team, I have more street credibility with my clientele and perspective clientele.

Added bonus, my work is now easier and since I also teach my clients how to move, I have become more educated as a movement professional.

Aaron Guyett is a nationally recognized MASTER TRAINER (and internationally recognized Kettlebell Master of Sport)- he teaches professionals from all over the globe about fitness, movement, and, most importantly- EXCELLENCE in all aspects of life.

6. What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

Start at your own pace.

Aaron, The Innovative Results Team (Coaches), AND the Innovative Results Family (clients) are all there to help you succeed.

As a client it totally STOKES me to see new folks show up and stick with it.

STICK WITH IT.

You WILL improve.

Give your body time.

Be PATIENT.

Folks who come in consistently WILL see improvement in 30 days.

But the real transformation takes place over the long term.

This is the difference between dabbling and actually making a lasting LIFE IMPROVEMENT.

There are MANY folks at IR who have been with IR for many years.

I will be there for a LONG time!

7. How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

I am doing something that I NEVER expected I would be doing…Competitive Kettlebell Sport.

I have a rather severe Scoliosis.

NEVER thought I’d be lifting weights…

NEVER thought lifting weights competitively would make my body feel better.

It DOES!

But it does because of 1) Aaron’s expertise in Kettlebell Sport (he is a KB Sport world championships contender) and 2) my consistency in training.
