Fitness Motivation Is About More Than Physical Results, Just Ask Jeff!

October 6, 2017 by Jessica 6 Comments

JeffSchofieldToday Innovative Results is stoked to highlight soccer stud, and director of the LA Galaxy South Bay College Prep Program for girls, Jeff Schofield!

When did you start training at Innovative Results?
I started in November of 2014

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?
I started training there because I was looking for something different than running and going to the gym on my own. Being a former collegiate athlete I missed the intensity of workouts, energy of exercising with other like-minded people, and motivation of coach/trainer. I chose Innovative Results because it worked perfectly with my schedule. I teach during the day and then am a soccer coach at night so I needed something early afternoon and their large number of class times worked well for me.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?
Of course, I have improved many physical aspects such as speed, strength, increased core strength, lower body fat, and my clothes fit better. It also improved many aspects of my life in addition to the physical. I enjoyed setting goals and working hard to attain them. I enjoyed the relationships I built with the other clients and trainers. I improved my self-image and confidence.

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?
It is a competitive and motivating environment that includes unique exercises that are very functional for everyday life. I also enjoy that you do a certain set of exercises for 3 weeks, which allows you to set goals for that period and try to improve at those exercises before they change it for the next set of 3 weeks.

How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?
I have mainly used the knowledge and exercise for my job in coaching soccer and as a PE teacher. There are so many ways to strengthen and increase mobility and flexibility using just body weight and I have adapted a lot of what I do at IR to my teams and classes. This last year I started at a new school and their percent of students that pass the Physical Fitness Test was 44%. I did a lot of exercises that I use at IR to help them improve. For students, they need a variety of exercises to prepare for the test not just the same push ups, sit-ups, mile run, etc. As a result, my students passed at a 73% rate. I credit IR for providing me the tools to help my students.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?
It is going to be challenging at first. You will be sore and some of the exercises you won’t quite get immediately, but have an open mind and stay with it. Before you know it, you will be one of the regulars that is encouraging the new people.

How has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?
I feel better physically which improves all aspects of life. I used to wake up in the morning and was in pain as I would get out of bed. That pain is gone and I am able to play soccer more consistently without being sore or in pain.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?
I think anybody that is looking to improve their health should come and be a part of IR. There is every kind of client there from teenagers, elite athletes, former athletes, to injured clients. The workouts can be adapted for you to make it challenging for everyone and to get out of it what you want.

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?
I realize that life is much more enjoyable when you are pain free and mentally it is good to challenge yourself.

Thank you for sharing how we helped you lose 15 lbs and more, Simon!motivation

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I started training at IR in mid Feb 2017

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

My job means I travel every week and don’t exercise or eat well, this was a life decision to change both my diet and exercise regime to fix this issue

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

In the first 6 weeks I have lost 15 pounds and my fitness level has improved dramatically

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

The trainers are great they make the sessions challenging but fun and their focus on form keeps you safe, I did crossfire before and constantly got injured because of the lack of focus on form so this is important

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

Generally I feel more energized in all aspects of my life, they say ‘fit body, fit mind’ and this has certainly been the case

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

Keep at it, I have been to other gyms but nowhere has achieved the results I have seen at IR

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

I have more energy for all aspects of my life and am just generally happier, the only down side is none of my jeans fit anymore;-)

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

kettlebell, kettlebells, and personal training at Innovative Results

We all get into a routine in our life, work, diet and exercise…those people who are in that rut would have a whole new outlook at Innovative Results. They really change you for the better!

Finding the Motivation to Make a Change

December 30, 2016 by ptpt 5 Comments

creating yourself

Finding the motivation to make a change is an ever elusive creature, taking us to the depths of despair and the highest mountain peaks.

As Zig Ziglar says, “People say motivation doesn’t last, and I say, ‘neither does bathing, which is why we should do it daily!'”

Everyone is looking to make some positive changes in their lives, but not every is actually able to make them and stick with them. I want to help you do both today with this motivation resource.

If you can make one small improvement, and keep it for the rest of your life, you will be on step further than most of the population on this planet of ours.

Motivations and goals are different, but when used together they are powerful beyond measure for great change and improvements in our life!!

So, how do you make your motivations and goals stick?

Why do most people make goals now and then forget about them a few weeks later?

I believe it has a lot to do with how those people set goals and how important those goals are to them in the first place.

So where do you start?

WAKSCawardsHere are some cool resources and articles to help get on the right track:

  • How to set goals
  • How to find motivation
  • How to stay on track
  • Wanna Lose weight?

I hope this year finds you with health and happiness.

You really can do everything you desire!

I believe in you!

19 Ways to Get Motivated to Exercise

April 6, 2016 by ptpt Leave a Comment

AlexCMaintaining a regular exercise routine can be challenging, even though we KNOW fitness and exercise is great for us!

So how can YOU stay motivated to keep up with your fitness training, or even get started with a new fitness training program when you just ‘don’t feel like it’?

Dumb Little Man’s Claire Jones has 19 Ways to Get Motivated to Exercise just for you!

1. Tell a Friend when you plan to work out and what activity you’ll be doing – an accountability partner is a great asset!
2. Create a Playlist that lifts your mood and gets you moving
3. Put on your sports gear and head out the door immediately
4. Arrange a workout with a friend – again accountability will be a huge asset for your success!
5. Make it FUN – do what you enjoy.
6. Incorporate little bursts of activity into your day – You don’t have to be at the gym for it to count as exercise!
7. Plan how far you want to run, swim or walk, and then halve it.
8. Buy gear that makes you look and feel good.
9. Work out in the morning, whenever you can.
10. Join a Sports Group – meet new people that enjoy the same activities as you!
11. Find an activity that’s on your way home from work.
12. Keep picturing the most sporty version of you.
13. Go for ten minutes only – once you get going, odds are you will continue beyond your 10 minutes!
14. Go to the gym when your favorite TV show is on – now you have no excuse. 🙂
15. Give yourself a reward after you’ve worked out.
16. Remember that action creates motivation.
17. Set up a 30-day Challenge.
18. Don’t focus on the whole workout.
19. Write down the excuses you have for not working out.

For a breakdown of each motivation tip you can read the Full Article on Dumb Little Man HERE

As I sit here typing this, I have a date with a trail that I am supposed to be running.

So remembering that action creates motivation, I will finalize this article, and run on the trail for ten minutes only…which I am sure will turn into more, but right now I am thinking of all the things I need to do today.

My reward will be that satisfying feeling you have when you have accomplished something awesome!

Which is how I feel after every fitness training session at Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground, so I am sure that this will be no different.

Not focusing on the full workout, just doing ten minutes, using action to create motivation, and feeling that huge sense of achievement when I am done is what will get me motivated to exercise for this particular exercise in my fitness training program.

Make Your Next One, Your Best One!

8 Reasons Why Failure is the Key to Success – Orange County Fitness Playground

October 5, 2015 by Jessica 2 Comments

Thomas Edison light bulb

 

The dreaded “F” word…

FAILURE

Here at The Orange County Fitness Playground, the coaches and clients have shared their failure moments more than once, but every time they do, they get closer and closer to their success.

Experiencing SUCCESS on your first attempt is rare, hence the saying “beginners luck.”

And we’d bet that this “luck” did not result in finding your dream career, beautiful partner, or any item that you consider “priceless” in your life.

Life’s bumps and bruises are what you need to achieve YOUR goals.

Pick the Brain recently posted a great article on the importance of experiencing failure, and why you are actually succeeding each time you feel the weight of “failure” and we couldn’t agree more.

8 Reasons Why Failure is the Key to Success:

  1. It can be a good lesson for youthephoenix
  2. Failing makes you realize if you really want this
  3. Mistakes build your character
  4. It is a chance to try something new
  5. It gives you an opportunity to grow
  6. Mistakes help you meet new people
  7. It makes you revise your priorities
  8. I makes you understand that you are not superman

Motivation: The Three Steps to Success – Explained By Innovative Results Fitness Coach

August 3, 2015 by Jessica 1 Comment

Motivation
By Madison Murphy

Motivation is such an important part of everything we do. Whether it’s getting out of bed in the morning or working out, there’s something inside that motivates you. At Innovative Results we break motivation into three parts: present self, goals, and reason.

10343525_10152108795307045_8922711973911952964_n

Present Self is an honest evaluation of yourself right now which includes
• Body measurements
• Fitness measurements
• Athletic measurements
• Mindset

How are you right now? Be honest but not judgmental. You have already evaluated yourself, at least somewhat, and decided to improve you quality of life by coming to Innovative Results. Motivation starts by evaluating your Present Self.

Goals are an awesome way to get motivated. They give you something to constantly work towards and look forward to. At Innovative Results we make S.M.A.R.T goals:
• Specific810 step
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Realistic
• Time Bound

You set goals after you honestly evaluate yourself presently to keep working hard and stay motivated. If you set goals and determine to reach them, then you accomplish what you are striving for.

Reasons are why you want to accomplish the goals you set. It’s important to have reasons why you want to achieve your goals to be clear that you really want what you say you want. Some of the reasons why people are motivated to train at IR are:
• Improved quality of life
• Increased fitness
• Increased functional strength
• Reduction of weight/body fat

While it may seem that motivation is term that is hard to define, by dividing it into three sub parts, it becomes much clearer. Knowing that: Present Self, Goals and Reasons are all components of motivation gives you tools to accomplish your goals.

Improved Quality of Life Means Immediate Results at Innovative Results

May 28, 2014 by ptpt 4 Comments

By Aaron Guyett

Immediate Results!

AM Pushup Line

That’s right! We claim immediate results! Not the type that is pledged from plastic surgeons, lipo-suction docs, pharmacists, and eight-minute abs (or is it six-minute abs now?). The immediate results that Innovative Results is touting come from the deep desire to make a lasting change. The person that comes to us for that change, shows up, does the work, and accepts the coaching to improve, even when there is a little bit of intimidation or downright fear. Below are just a few changes each client should begin to notice as they get serious about the change they are pursuing with Innovative Results (IR). The two main areas clients see immediate results when they train at IR are improved performance and elevated understanding of fitness.

Improved Performance

mariane rope climb

Performance becomes immediate when one becomes aware that there is a need for improvement. While this sounds largely philosophical, think about it for a minute. If a person has been sedentary for years, or even if someone has been active for years, but did not know that breath was an essential part of movement performance—there would be an immediate return on investment at Innovative Results. Proper breathing sequence is just the beginning of improved performance one immediately receives when they train at Innovative Results. The two biggest areas improvements in performance are: Increased Energy and Increased Body Awareness.

Increased Energy

Just starting a consistent, methodical, and purposeful exercise routine will do incredible justice for your circadian cycles (wake, sleep, and energy rhythms). When the norm of hitting snooze is replaced by the wakeful intention of getting stronger, leaner, looking better, or feeling better, your energy levels are already transitioning toward improvement. Even if you have only been working out at Innovative Results for a very short time, you may have noticed improvement in your focus, energy, and production at work or with your family. This is important stuff in our lives!!

Increased Body Awareness

I always think of the seen in Anchorman where the character Ron Burgandy talks about his ubulus attached to his upper dorsimas, but he really has no clue what he is talking about. This scene is hilarious, and can often be a sad reality in the world of armchair quarterbacks and Internet geniuses. There is little more satisfying to me than when someone looks at me with delight, because they were able to “feel” their abs engage in a push-up, squat, hip-hinge, or inverted row. Incredible body awareness can be found in one session, and change the way a person’s body moves for the rest of their life. This is quality improvement, and transformation worth thousands of dollars in surgery, therapy, or other care related to the lack of body awareness that most of us experience daily.

Elevated Understanding of Fitness

Training at Innovative Results will help people engage fitness from the understanding that emotions, psychology, and action inspire us to achieve our goals, but it is the science, methodology, and consistency that actually bring us to the point of success. I often explain to people that I LOVE the FACT that getting a person from point A to point B is plainly science, but helping them embrace the science is largely emotional. If a person does not have a deep, emotional why, driving them toward their fitness goal(s), it will probably be hard for that person to accept the pain and persistence that comes with embracing the science of physiologiLogan Parfaitcal and psychological change. The cool part of this problem is that humans are creatures of habits. Once we accept and engage with the mindset, movement, and recovery necessary for change, it becomes easier and easier to make it a part of our lifestyle habits.

Mindset Knowledge and Coaching

Every coach at Innovative Results knows the intricacies of mindset when it comes to improving the quality of life by moving better, feeling better, or looking better (in other words leaning, toning, strengthening, healing, and happiness). Innovative Results coaches teach that a positive attitude isn’t absolutely imperative to the process, but it sure does make the process more enjoyable and easier to handle. The coaches themselves interject positivity in their own process of diligent change and growth, to create a platform of positivity in which to stand the client and community firmly on. Motivation as understood by the Innovative Results coach is an indelible part of the client’s improvement, transformation, change, and/or empowerment. Without knowledge of where each person is and where they want to go, with a deep emotional why to get there, the coach and client usually flounder in a sea of uncertainty and no shows (not to mention spotty or zero results). Lastly, the support that is found in each session, with the IR Team, with the IR Family, through the IR facility, and with all of the friends and family of the community, is how Innovative Results continues to improve and grow. The Innovative Results team member and family member expresses a desire to promote the important mindset qualities found in its program to the entire community, because, let’s face it, we are losing the war on obesity and quality of life, and we all want at least our community to win, if not our whole nation. Not to mention the program’s other immediate benefits of movement and recovery knowledge, and coaching.

Movement Knowledge and CoachingLunchWorkout 4_21_14

With certificates, degrees, licenses, and an accumulated 60 years worth of knowledge in human movement the Innovative Results trainers coach this particular skill with passion and intelligence that surpasses most gyms that tout one certificate or a few years experience. Innovative Results takes its knowledge and coaching of movement so seriously that it spends several hours critiquing each progression and each exercise to ensure it holds the highest return for physiological improvement while remaining extremely low on the risk for injury, and trying to uphold fun found in a fitness playground. IR trainers use planes of movement, energy systems, and progressive adaptation when they build each workout for the client, being sure to have several degrees of modification and acceleration to meet each level of client. Besides the coaches bringing energy, focus, and intelligent feedback to each client, the strong veteran clients naturally motivate and help support the new clients that hold huge opportunities for improving, all while working hard, focusing well, and building results together.

Recovery Knowledge and Coaching

People get hurt, period. This is a fact every person on the planet must live with, however, it does not have to chain people to the couch, computer, car, and cell phone, and keep humanity from enjoying life. Actually, if a person gains knowledge and coaching in movement, and couples it with recovery knowledge and coaching, they severely reduce the chance for injury, while greatly improving the opportunity to look better, feel better, and move better. This is a skill no one should ignore or shrug off. Each IR coach is geared with vast knowledge in rest, fuel, and techniques to heal old nagging problems and create improvements in performance and aesthetics (how we look in the mirror or in clothes). These recovery points include: sleep, stress-management, focus, hydration, nutrition, SMR, activation, and more.

Coach Mark

The next time you find yourself at Innovative Results to experience the best gym and trainers in Orange County, which most likely puts them among the best in the World. Pick their brain, and USE them to help improve your quality of life, as you venture toward your goals.

 

And thank you for continuing to share your story of success, even these immediate improvements that you have experienced. Your story is the reason why we exist, and it is the only way we can put up a fight in this gnarly battle against obesity, low quality of life, and disease that is so prevalent throughout Orange County and our nation today.

Working Out Should Be fun and SOCIAL!

April 27, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

lose-weight-without-boring-cardio-

By Cori Lefkowith

We are social creatures.

Heck….We even like to go to the bathroom together.

Yet all too often we choose to go on a cardio machine and workout by ourselves.

No wonder it can be hard to stick to a routine!

Instead of working out by ourselves, let’s use the fact that we are social creatures – let’s make working out social.

Because being social may just be the motivation you need to make the switch to a healthy lifestyle!

Don’t believe me?

Then check out these reasons to make your workouts a social event!

• Working out will be more FUN when you have your friends around you. And “fun” generally means it is something you will WANT to do again.
• Friends hold you accountable. Friends will check in on you when you skip a session. They will check in on you and help give you a reason to go even when you don’t necessarily “feel” like it.
• Friends motivate us. Knowing you will be letting someone down if you don’t go will keep you showing up even when you aren’t motivated.
• Working out with friends can also push you to work harder. If your friend is doing heavier weight or more reps, you are probably going to push yourself to do a few more reps as well!
• Friends will also support you. Have you plateaued? Have your results slowed? Having a friend there you can chat with who may be going through the same thing or have gone through the same thing in the past, can really help you push through the rough patches!
• Making working out social can also help you remain dedicated to your goals. For one, you have a reason to go because the workouts are fun. Two, your friends hold you accountable if you don’t show. And three, it will keep you dedicated even when your internal motivation wears off because you are part of a group and you can’t let down the group!
• There is sense of community when you workout with friends. And that community gives you a strong reason to keep moving toward your goals. And it also allows you to help OTHERS move toward their goals as well! You can both get support and GIVE SUPPORT!

What is Learned at Innovative Results? Need Motivation? About 20 Fitness Clients Share What They Learn At The Orange County Fitness Playground.

November 18, 2013 by ptpt 2 Comments

huntington beach, personal training, training program, helps people, lose weightTrainers tend to have a mind of there own when it comes to what we THINK we teach clients when we train them.

They say things like, “I teach people to get strong.” or “I teach people how to lose fat.” or  “I teach people how to look at themselves in the mirror, and admire their sexiness..”

While this may be true, I did not believe the hype, and asked about twenty of our very own clients.

What I found out was surprising, AND SO MUCH COOLER than the regular strength, and lose weight paradigm many gyms find themselves in.

Here is a list of some of the greatest things you will learn at Innovative Results (The Orange County Fitness Playground), if you need a little motivation:

  • The power of accountability.  -Harrel C.
  • The willingness to follow direction coupled with consistent, determined effort over time, will bring about healthy transformation on a deepening level.  -Will W.
  • Never give up.  -Courtney W.
  • You are still learning.  -Chris G.personal trainer,Personal Trainer Irvine, Orange County fitness gym, Fitness CA
  • I was always the last one during the mile in high school–the unathletic drama kid. I’ve learned that I don’t need to have natural athletic ability to be athletic at IR. Now my friends that played college athletics comment on all the “crazy” things I have accomplished  -Keri G.
  • Motivation and will power are things that have kept me from being consistent with a workout regime in the past. So what I have learned is that “momentum works both ways.” And that is what I tell myself every morning to motivate me to get out of bed and get to IR!  -Joe S.
  • A great atmosphere creates great effort.  -Mason M.
  • How much stronger I get from awkward mobility lifting, as opposed to conventional bench and squat.  -Tommy C.
  • Perseverance pays off.  -George N.
  • Mental toughness and strength.  -Jim S.
  • Mental toughness.  -Tri L.
  • How the body works. Gerson G.
  • Commitment. I never thought I would be at 187 pounds and remain there in order to pursue my dreams of being a Marine.  -Juan R.
  • That I am capable of so much more than I thought possible!  -Laurie W.
  • Self Confidence. Things I’m learning and have accomplished, I could not have done on my own. IR is NOT like any gym…it’s a family of support with the whole IR team!  -Jeff C.
  • The power of a focused mind.  -Taylor S.
  • Results come from experience, confidence, and knowledge from experts!
  • That determination is when you feel you can’t go on, your body can’t take any more, or your hurt, but you will adapt and you can always go further.
  • That you don’t need weights or gym equipment to exercise, and get the results you want. All you need is innovation, imagination, and determination.  -Chad R.
  • When I push myself to do the things I didn’t think I could do in the gym, I am able to do the same on the courts.  -Georgie S.
  • That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed, but that our power to do that thing has increased.  -Garrett (paraphrasing an Emerson quote to best represent what he has learned.)

Needless to say I was beyond stoked and honored by these responses.

As a personal trainer and Master Coach I was motivated and inspired!
