Are you over 40 or over 50 and have that growing feeling of "tightness"?

Are you over 40 or over 50 and have that growing feeling of "tightness"? Let's break it down.

You might think a good stretch will do the trick. But sometimes, what feels like tightness is actually... weakness. Yep, even if you stretch that muscle, it might still feel tense because it's not strong enough!

Think you might have this strength vs. tightness issue?

Ask yourself:

Do I often stay in the same posture for hours on end?

Does my routine - maybe a desk job or long drives - make certain areas (like lower back or hips) feel "tight"?

If these ring true, you might just need to beef up those muscles, not just stretch 'em!

Get the root of the issue, not just the symptoms. And if you're pondering how to kick-start a strength personal training program or need guidance shoot an email to us at info@bcsfitness.com.

How to find time in your schedule

We have a GREAT TIP for you to help you streamline your schedule.

It’s one of our “musts” when we feel like our to-do list is overflowing.

But here’s our favorite payoff...

If you try it for 1-2 weeks, you’ll notice you have MORE FREE TIME for your non-negotiables (workouts, meal prep, etc.).

It’s called the Eisenhower Matrix — and using it will help you prioritize what you tackle first, and pinpoint items you might be able to cross off your list forever (woohoo!).

Here’s how it works:

→ Take your to-do list and pop each item into a category: Urgent or Not Urgent.

Urgent tasks DEMAND your attention and need to be done ASAP.

How to know if something is urgent: It makes you feel stressed, defensive, rushed, and frazzled.

→ Then, take all of those same tasks and divide them AGAIN into two different categories: Important and Not Important.

Important tasks contribute to your long-term goals and well-being.

But here’s the sneaky thing about “important” tasks… if we keep delaying them, important tasks BECOME urgent.

→ NOW, place each task into this matrix depending on how you classified them:

Urgent/Important

Urgent/Not Important

Important/Not Urgent

Not Important/Not Urgent

After just a few days, you’ll start noticing fewer “urgent” items popping up. It will help you be more PROACTIVE in your life, and less REACTIVE.

And that will help reduce so much stress… and give you MORE time for the things that are truly important to you.

Like your self-care!

Give it a try for a couple of weeks and see for yourself.

If you’re ready to do something different when it comes to your health and fitness... we can help.

Comfort vs. Growth

Almost every day we're tempted to choose the easy path...the one without obstacles, without sweat, and without challenges.

It may be comfortable, but it doesn't make us grow.

Whether we like it or not, it's during the difficult times...when we face challenging decisions, steep climbs, and uncomfortable conversations...that we find our true strength.

Here is your reminder to embrace the hard stuff.

That’s when growth happens, where character is built, and where dreams are realized.

Today, we challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and face ONE challenge… take the risk... and do the work.

The only way to make life easier is to get better at handling the hard stuff.

Classes vs Training Sessions: Terminology MAtters

In the world of fitness...terminology matters. At BCS Fitness, we have made a deliberate choice in our terminology, opting for "training sessions" and not "classes".

This isn’t just a semantic quirk...it reflects our dedication to personalized, client-focused personal training.

1. Size Matters
The term "class" in the fitness world often brings to mind a large group of people working out together, led by a single instructor. This one-size-fits-all approach can work for some, but it has its limitations. It is common for some group fitness brands to have 20-30 (or more) clients with just 1-2 trainers.

Under a "class" model, it’s often difficult for trainers to keep an eye on everyone, ensure proper form, or provide the best movements for each client's needs.

At BCS Fitness, a coach only works with a max of 5 clients at one time. This means that every individual receives close attention and guidance, ensuring safety, proper form, and maximum benefits and efficiency from every session.

2. Personalization is Key
Every client is unique. A "class" doesn't always allow for individual preferences and needs. Personal training sessions at BCS Fitness, on the other hand, are designed to be adaptable. Sessions are programmed in such a way as to adjust to the client's specific needs and objectives. Whether you’re aiming to lose weight, build muscle, or simply feel better...the session is tailored for you.

3. Injury Concerns and Adjustments
One of the most significant advantages of our training sessions is the ability to adapt to occasional ailments. In a traditional "class" format, it can be challenging to address injuries safely...which can lead to a state of constant frustration.

4. Being Known
We believe that every individual deserves a training environment that is as unique as they are. By choosing "training sessions" over "classes", we aim to provide a platform where fitness is individualized to the client.
