A Special Message from Coach Aubrie

December 11, 2018 by Jessica 1 Comment

To my Innovative Results FAMILY,

THANK YOU.

Thank you for spending reps, sets, hours, moments, and memories with me throughout the last 4 years as we shared opportunities to expand our paradigms of movement, strength, purpose, goals, lifestyle, and friendship. Thank you for allowing me to guide you through an hour of your day to help you contribute to your success both in the gym and out. Thank you for listening with intention to reach towards your own greatest potential. Thank you for the laughs, the sweat, the challenges, the learning, and the pure human connection.

My transformation at Innovative Results has grown me to a space where I feel more comfortable sharing with others, speaking my voice, and forming the impact that I see myself making in this world. IR has been a catalyst that has launched me into the world of leadership, coaching, and truly feeling what its like to be the change that I want to see. I have learned, at very deep levels, what it means to connect with people and lead them to their own inner power with compassion, diligence, PLAY, and maybe a little pressure or tough love sometimes. (hehe :))

It is with sad news and almost trembling hands that I am announcing my leave from the playground. As committed to personal growth and transformation as I am, I have decided to move forward towards my next adventure in life.

Rest assured, the CORE SYSTEM of Innovative Results is what creates coaches like myself. I am a product of an amazing structure, progression, and educational development program that challenges coaches in multifaceted ways to strive further than ever before. The growth that IR coaches move through as they participate in their own leadership develops the foundation that I exude. You are in great hands still, my friend.

I appreciate your time, effort, encouragement, communication, connection, and love throughout these last 4 years. Keep being you because you are amazing and full of beautiful potential that this world needs.

Thank you!

How to Determine the Right Kettlebell

November 3, 2017 by Jessica 5 Comments

Article By Kettlebell Kings

Kettlebells are one of the most versatile exercise tools that a person can employ. They take minimal space but deliver maximum benefit to your workouts.

One of the hardest choices a new-comer to the kettlebell culture encounters is what style of kettlebell they should buy for themselves and start training with. There are quite a few different styles and shapes to kettlebells their weight aside.

The first thing to consider when choosing a kettlebell is what are your goals with procuring a kettlebell?

– Is it going to be a household exercise tool or be used outside?
– Is it for building strength or more conditioning focused?
– Will you eventually want to use single hand work or will you be mostly focused on using two handed grip techniques?

Let’s knock down these one at a time:

1. There are some Kettlebell styles that have a plastic coating to make them more conducive for inside use – For outdoor use there are powder coated kettlebells that make them more resilient to the ele-ments. I personally like the powder coated for inside and outside use.

2. To be clear ANY kettlebell training will have strength benefits, but if you are more conditioning focused then you will want a weight that you can move around with some general ease so you can focus on the exercise techniques. The different weights of kettles (other competition kettlebells which stay the same dimensions no matter the weight) will change is size as the weights change and this can effect your techniques. *A tip to consider – Regardless of style of training I do recommend using Sport style kettles due to their consistent size and shape. This will allow the movements you learn to stay the same as you progress in weight if you so choose.

3. Most kettlebell techniques can be done with two hands. This makes them more stable and easy to learn for novices. Using single hand techniques will rise the challenge and technique level considerably. If you do not seeing yourself wanting to try single hand work for some time then you will be using two hand movements so you will want to have a kettlebell with ample handle space. A solid unique design that has a consistent size and shape, like Sport style kettlebells, but also have a decent size handle shape like the powder coat kettlebells are the Kettlebell Kings Steel Standard Kettlebells.

Now that you have determined your goals with kettlebell it is time to determine the proper weight.

Quality kettlebells do cost money so you have to make sure when you make the investment that it is going to be the right weight for your goals. Of course as you increase your strength and technique you will eventually need to go up in weight. but this could take some time; so you can get a lot of mileage off of the right kettlebell.

Of course this is a difficult choice to determine since there are many variables involved. Injuries, experience, current fitness level, etc. In most kettlebell training styles 8 kilogram (about 17 lbs) and 12 kilogram (about 25 lbs) are the classic starting weights. Usually, especially for two hand movements, the 12 kilo size bells are a great novice challenge. If you have some kettlebell or weight resistance experience then the 16 kilogram (about 35 lbs) is a standard starting point.

A good guide to also help determine a proper weight is by possible rep ranges you will be pre-forming in your routine. Most coaches use a classic guideline of:
• 1-3 reps for explosive power
• 3-5 reps for strength
• 5-8 for sustained strength
• 8-12 for muscle hypertrophy
• 12+ reps for power endurance

If with the weight you choose you can do 12 or more reps with the 12kg kettlebell in one move, lets say the goblet squat, at once with relative ease it may be too light for you in that exercise and you may need the 16kg. You can use this example for all the exercises you may be planning on doing.

It is important to consider your current level of fitness, but also know you WILL get stronger and also consider. With proper training and consistency you may be surprised how much stronger with your kettlebell you will become.

Hopefully this easy checklist will help you determine what kind of kettlebell is the right one for you. It is always exciting to get a new kettlebell, it is like getting a new workout buddy who is ready to help you create the strongest version of yourself.

If you can, and you are a kettlebell novice, seek out some professional coaching to learn the basics for you to build on. Sometimes in person is tough, if so then look for a good coach who offers online coaching. If this is also out of reach then subscribe to the Kettlebell Kings blog, and YouTube content for kettlebell technique videos and articles and weekly kettlebell workouts to add to your fitness routine.

Kettlebell Kings is based in Austin, Texas and offers high quality kettlebells as well as tons of free content to read and learn about kettlebells on our blog. Kettlebell Kings was the first company to offer Free Shipping and Lifetime Warranty on all kettlebells. We also create free, weekly workouts you can sign up to receive in your email in box here.

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

October 6, 2017 by Jessica 6 Comments

Today 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.

Can you relate to Jeff’s story? We’d love to hear from you!

Cesar has Mindset, Movement and Recovery Dialed In for Every Aspect of Life

September 26, 2017 by Jessica 5 Comments

Cesar kicked off the New Year (2017) by setting his fitness goals here at The Fitness Playground. Cesar was searching for a strength program to incorporate into his fitness routine, but he never imagined the bonus impact the IR3 (Mindset, Movement and Recovery) Progressions would have on his quality of life!

Hear it from Cesar…

How did you hear about Innovative Results?
I heard about Innovative Results through Yelp.

What about Innovative Results interested you in coming in?
Their approach to fitness. At the time, I had recently recovered from a car accident… the last thing I wanted was to get re-injured hence my attention to finding a gym that is well staffed with knowledgeable trainers to guide me through my fitness journey.

Why did you decide to step into the gym?
I was looking to incorporate some sort of strength training into my exercise routine.

What was your first reaction once you entered the gym?
I walked in the middle of a workout and I was impressed and intrigued by the type of exercises they were doing.

What was one thing you like about Innovative Results that kept you coming back for more?
I can truly say that every session is not only an excellent workout but an opportunity to explore my physical boundaries and learn to care for myself.

How has your vision of movement changed since you’ve started working out at Innovative Results?
My vision of movement and what is possible has expanded drastically! I’m constantly noticing my body respond positively to training which gives me the confidence to enjoy new activities and hobbies.

How has Innovative Results helped your mindset in daily living? at home, school, work, or in the community?
The skills learned at the gym apply to everything else in life… hard work, discipline, patience, self care, etc.

What was the biggest obstacle (mental/structural/physical) you’ve crossed since starting at Innovative Results?
Regaining trust to move freely was the very first obstacle. Now that I’ve been a member for almost a year, its very rewarding to achieve milestones and set new ones.

How were you able to surpass your obstacle?
Showing up is half the battle. I try to be in the moment, pay attention to the trainers and push myself safely to the best of my abilities. I appreciate the guidance and care of the IR staff.

After 10 Months of Training, Nick is Headed to the United States Army

September 5, 2017 by Jessica 1 Comment

At just 20 years old, Nick had set his sights on not only joining the United States Army, but challenging himself to be at the top of his recruiting class.

Hear about why Nick selected Innovative Results to begin his journey in this week’s client profile…

What brought you to Innovative Results?

I came to Innovative Results after googling the best gyms in my area and talking to Aaron Guyett in order to get in the best shape I could be before joining the Army.

What were your initial thoughts on the gym?

My initial thoughts on Innovative Results’ gym were that it isn’t your typical gym where you feel lost in the shuffle and go off on your own and do whatever you want. Innovative Results is a smaller gym that really focuses on encouraging everyone who is training there to give it their personal best effort while doing exercises that you wouldn’t normally see at a gym and of course they make sure you’re having fun while you workout!

After your first session what was something that stood out that kept you coming back for the next session? How about after the first month?

Something that stood out to me after my first session and still stands out to me are the Coaches. Everyone at Innovative Results is nothing but friendly and caring and it feels like a second family. The trainers are always asking how you are and really take the time to make sure you know how to do the exercises properly and are always motivating and pushing you to do nothing but your best with each rep.

What change or changes have you seen in yourself (mindset, movement, recovery, attitude, mentality, strength, wellness, etc) since you started at Innovative Results?

Both my family and myself have seen many personal changes since working out with the staff at Innovative Results. Not only are their improvements to my physical body but additionally to my mindset. I’m more motivated to do things, I’m stronger, faster, I have way more endurance than I did when I first started working out, and the biggest change I’ve seen in myself is my attitude. Going to Innovative Results has made me love to workout. I want to wake up early everyday and go on runs on the days I don’t go to the gym. I want to eat better and take care of my body and I want to push myself to do the best I can everyday.

What do you LOVE about Innovative Results! What keeps you consistent and focused for every session?

I love how different Innovative Results is from every other gym out there! Every time I go to workout I’m always excited to see my trainers and learn what new workout routine I have. I’m always having fun and smiling every time I go to Innovative Results. Thank you for mentoring and encouraging me to be the best version of myself.

Are you ready to improve the quality of your life? Join Nick and the 100’s of others as you take control of your health and fitness journey!

Dane’s Story of Transformation with Innovative Results – The Fitness Playground

April 24, 2017 by Dane 6 Comments

Coach Dane’s Story of Transformation

by: Coach Dane Fernandez

Innovative results has been awesome since the moment I stepped through the doors. A fresh burst of positive energy by the staff and clients made me feel welcomed. Even though it was a unfamiliar environment I felt at home.

Innovative Results interested me mainly because I’ve been looking for an open floor style gym for years. After doing research for gyms in the Orange County area, Innovative Results kept coming up on my internet searches time and time again. As soon as I heard about Innovative Results I was compelled to dig deeper to find out as much information as possible. One thing that stood out to me through the website was the structure of the gym/playground. After looking through all the photos and videos I spent time reading the coaches bio’s as well as reading numerous transformation stories from their massive data base.

Having pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and being an ex-athlete, it was important for me to find a gym that I wanted to work at as well as workout in. After all the research I did, Innovative Results appealed to me and I applied for a position within the company.

Fast forward to my first encounter with the coaches and staff of Innovative Results. I was quickly impressed with what they represented as a business as well as how they expressed their individual mindsets. The ideas and philosophies these coaches were talking about facilitated my curiosity in the program. Longing to be exposed to a program whose main goal is to improve people’s quality of life, I was drawn in from the get go. During the interview and hiring process I was exposed to the operations in detail, seeing first hand hard-work and diligent focus went into making this company/ gym great. Through this process I got introduced to the IR3 Mindset, Movement, and Recovery System. Knowing that this system had tremendous benefits for my professional and personal career I stepped forward to walk out the progression.

Through my time with Innovative Results I have been able to improve as an athlete and as a coach. Utilizing the IR3 progression my mindset has been reconditioned with positive thoughts, positive words, and positive actions. With a quick change in mindset I was able to improve in multiple disciplines in my personal and professional career.

It is through Innovative Results Movement concept that I am finding the most benefit in my life. Being an ex-athlete I have been through many injuries and have created very poor habits as a result of improper rehab and training protocols. Innovative Results addresses proper training mechanics when conducting physical movement whether it be working out at the gym or daily life tasks. I am excited to say I am reaping the physical benefits this program offers in strength, power, and aerobic capacity.

Even though Innovative Results training sessions can be tough, the program offers and pays special attention to multiple corrective mobility and recovery techniques. Again, another transformation piece redefined for me through learning the IR3 system. Previously for me, recovery used to mean icing old injuries and elevating legs after a hard of training. This is all great to do and it’s encouraged, but recovery goes way deeper. By applying active stretching with joint and tissue decompression post training sessions, Innovative Results recovery protocol has taught me to practice and train body durability and resilience. This technique has proven to be a huge reason for my continued success in and out of the gym.

Innovative Results has provided me with a more complete framework for transformation. With a solid foundation to practice and teach movement effectively, I feel I am able to transform my life to the next level. Thank you Innovative Results.

Still in Great Hands: Innovative Results Keeps Moving Forward with New Owner

April 10, 2017 by Jessica 7 Comments

When was the last time you heard laughter and squeals of delight at the gym? And not from the mouths of babes at the daycare section? At Costa Mesa’s Innovative Results The Fitness Playground, fun is always to be expected from a workout session. Having a sense of play is built in to training sessions. Whether it’s simulating knife fights with DIY foam weapons, dribbling soccer balls inside a magic square, or bouldering on the newly erected rock climbing wall, no workout is ever a bore.

What makes these exciting exercises even more enjoyable is the people who are doing them with you. With a close-knit, team-like atmosphere during group training sessions, clients are improving their health and enjoying it in the process. The Innovative Results’ coaching team consistently improves upon their health and fitness philosophy of Mindset, Movement, and Recovery through various educational workshops to deliver the most current, functional, and safe techniques in fitness and wellness, and the best and most useful information in nutrition. Innovative Results intends to continue its growing legacy with a new owner who himself has been a long-time client: Harrel Carman. Under his leadership, Carman wants more of everything that makes Innovative Results the beloved household name in Orange County fitness.

Harrel Carman: Dedicated to More

Innovative Results’ new owner, Harrel Carman, is much like Los Angeles’ Angels of Anaheim Coach, Mike Scioscia. Scioscia had a successful career as a catcher for the Dodgers. He parlayed his experience and expertise into coaching the Angels. Much like Scioscia, Carman’s path towards being Innovative Results’ new owner has been paved with dedication to sports and athleticism, and building and improving relationships.

Carman has long been passionate about physical fitness. He has competed in Baseball, Football, Basketball, Tennis, and Track & Field. He still plays Basketball most Saturday mornings and has been playing in Flag Football tournaments with the same team for over 15 years. Carman also regularly competes in Kettlebell Sport events and has won many medals lifting the 32kg kettlebell in the Men’s 85kg bodyweight division. Such an admirable commitment to physical health is actually grounded in a promise to others. Carman says, “Since I was young, maybe around 5 or 6 years old, I decided to begin working for my ‘future family.’ My dedication to my own health and fitness is my dedication to the family I have now, as well as when my family begins to grow (no kids yet, but eventually). I want to enjoy my kids, be able to play with them. Be able to roll around on the ground and play with my grandkids even. I want to be an example, through my own dedications, to my family, friends, and community.”

His active lifestyle is further complemented by a background in personal training, one that Carman has continued to expand over the last ten years. He has completed certifications in NASM, Functional Range Conditioning, Onnit Battle Ropes and Steel Clubs, Orange Kettlebell Club, SCUBA, and CPR. Carman’s favorite aspect of personal training was “how I got to interact with other people. Helping them learn more about themselves and the strength they have inside them.”

20170316_142436 — Innovative Results Owner Harrel Carman & wife, Julianne.

This knack for building people up has been a key component in Carman’s success in business. He has managed and run several businesses ranging from a financial company, to construction, to the Kumon tutoring center that he owns with his wife, Julianne. “I’ve found team-building to be the most important aspect of having a successful business,” asserts Carman. “Describing the ‘perfect’ team isn’t possible for me, since every business’ needs are different. However, the team currently at Innovative Results was a big factor in my decision to purchase the business. Without this incredible team, I don’t think I’d have been interested. I’m so excited to become a part of this awesome team and to bring even more energy and enthusiasm to continue Innovative Results’ vision moving forward.”

Continuing to Transform: A Better Quality of Life for Everyone

In the ten years that Harrel Carman has been a client of Innovative Results, he has seen the positive influence that Orange County’s Fitness Playground has had on its members and the surrounding community. He says, “I love the passion that’s brought every day and the dedication that Innovative Results coaches show to our clients!”. Innovative Results’ mission is: “Improve quality of life through diligent change and growth, dedication to the basics, and service to our community.” Former owner Aaron Guyett built a solid coaching team that is enthusiastic and genuine about making an impact on each and every person that walks through Innovative Results’ doors. Numerous client reviews on social media attest to incredible transformations in physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Each Innovative Results trainer truly embodies the coveted title emblazoned on the back of their black and gray shirts: coach. Aubrie Pohl and Dane Fernandez are two coaches who are there for clients at any point in their journey towards wellness, whether it be providing a modification or giving encouragement during a workout, or answering nutrition questions outside of the gym.

Carman is eager for what lies ahead. “My current vision for Innovative Results is to keep it moving in the same direction it has been over the years. I don’t have any visions of making drastic changes.” Carman elaborates: “It’s why I’m so excited for this opportunity. The current culture is so freaking fun, why change it? The only thing I really want to do, is take everything that Innovative Results is and make it more. More opportunities for our coaches to learn/grow, more tools for our clients to reach their goals, more more more! I hope through our commitment to bettering the lives of our clients, we can reach more and more of those in our community to do the same.”

4 Workouts That Will Keep You Going All Year

February 13, 2017 by Jessica 2 Comments

Article By: Paige Johnson, Learnfit.org

In exercise, a lot of people tend to develop the habit of sticking to what works for them. However as with anything, all things change —including your body and what it needs to thrive. If you allow your muscles to become accustomed to your workout routine with little to no variety, you will begin to see little to no results. Little to no results will in turn lead to frustration and inactivity, which is never the goal! This year take the time to add variety to your existing fitness regimen and watch as your body changes along with you!

Join a jogging club

The benefits of jogging are tremendous and one of the best ways to yield results in your overall health and wellbeing. Jogging improves your cardiovascular fitness, strengthens your bones and it aids in maintaining a healthy weight. If you are new to jogging or just trying to find ways to spruce up your routine, joining a joggers group may be just the right step for you! You may find a runners club sponsored by your local sports store or you can form one in your own neighborhood! The primary foundation of a running group is to meet one or two times a week and run a select distance as a group. The encouragement and team response you will receive from participating in such a group will prove to be beneficial to your general mood as well as your health. The accountability that comes with running in a group also will assist you in maximizing your fitness efforts to attain better results!

Try a spin class

Spinning, a specific format of indoor cycling, is a exercise routine that has quickly made its way around the world. As you ride on a stationary cycling bike under the supervision of a certified spinning instructor, your heart rate will shoot up which in return allows you to sweat, burn a sustainable amount of calories and improve your lower body strength. Most spin classes typically last an hour or less and can be taken at your local gym or fitness facility. Classes are uptempo and accompanied with loud, adrenaline pumping music. Be sure to bring a towel for sweat and plenty of water! Consider bringing a friend to enjoy the new experience with you!

Practice yoga

Yoga is not your typical heart racing type of exercise, however if done properly the benefits practicing are amazing. The practice of yoga originated in India and has widespread across the globe as a phenomenal way to improve your mental and physical health and wellness. Physical benefits of yoga include increased core strength, increased flexibility and weight reduction. The mental benefits of yoga sharpens your concentration, helps you de-stress and also increases body awareness.

Start using weights

The use of weights, also known as strength training is a wildly successful way to add more value to your fitness efforts. The use of weights create a compound called resistance, which can be explained as using your muscles to work against the extra pounds. Weight training helps you burn calories more efficiently than traditional exercise and it also reduces body fat. The best way to become introduced to strength training is by acquiring a personal trainer to allow yourself to see maximum results and avoid potential injuries. It doesn’t hurt to get some equipment for your home either.

Incorporating one or more of these exercises into your routine will be more than enough to keep your fitness goals on track throughout the year. Adding variety is the best way to ensure that you are getting the most out of your efforts, and it will keep you from inactivity due to boredom. Keep your routine fun and fresh by stepping outside of your workout habits and begin to enjoy the fittest, healthiest version of yourself!

If you are ready to start a new training program, whether it be running, strength training, yoga or all of the above – Go ahead and fill out the form below and one of our Innovative Results Personal Trainers will contact you to discuss your training goals!
