We’ll Plan Your Workouts for you
Client Interview Quote---->
"I'm constantly making decisions during my work day. One of the things I love most about my small group personal training sessions at BCS Fitness is that all the planning and thinking are done for me.
I don't have to decide what muscles to work, which machines to use, or how many reps and sets to do. I like not having to think about planning my workouts, my coaches tell me what I need to be doing, and I do it."

Should I stretch more?
Aging and 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 training program or need guidance, shoot us a DM or shoot an email to info@bcsfitness.com.

How to Say “NO” around the holidays
🙈🙊🙉Is there any other time of the year that has more obligations built into it?
And the first thing that pays a price? Our stress levels.
Don’t fall into that trap this year.
➡️We have some strategies you can use to say NO that will help you have more time for the people, places, and events that matter most to you.
1. Be Direct. If it’s something that you really don’t want to do, be direct, honest, and kind.
When your schedule is full: “Thank you for the invitation, but I’m already overbooked.”
When you are being encouraged to eat foods that don’t align with your health goals: “No thanks — but everything I’ve eaten has been delicious!”
2. Suggest an alternative. When “no” isn’t quite right, find a middle ground.
When you don’t want to attend yet another food- or alcohol-focused event: “I’d love to get together, what if we set a time to go for a walk instead?”
When you are asked to bring homemade goodies for the office buffet: "I'd like to bring something, but I won't have time to bake. Can I bring in something from H.E.B?"
3. Offer a raincheck. When something competes with your priorities – e.g., spending more time at home creating your own traditions — or you are overbooked.
“This sounds fantastic, but I can’t make it happen. Let’s get together after the New Year.”
🙃Remember: Every time you say "no" to something that doesn’t fit your own goals, schedule, or priorities, you’re actually saying "YES" to those goals and priorities!
