REAL TALK – WITH RICK LOCKE
REAL TALK – WITH RICK LOCKE
Hey Champions!! After a very grueling two session workout yesterday (2/1/12) with great and energetic people, I was approached by one of the participants who stated that they felt they were reaching a plateau in their weight loss progression even though he/she has been busting his/her butt in our training classes. Eager to impress this person by trying to diagnose what I felt at the time was simply not enough hard work in the off days of fitness camp; I missed the opportunity to ask the tough but necessary questions. I’m normally great about thinking before actually speaking to address a question. Not so much this time.
When I got home my wife and daughter presented me with a wonderful birthday dinner and very excellent practical gifts. I notice that my gifts from them for Father’s Day, Christmas, and Birthdays have been changing over the last year and a half since I’ve become a fitness training coach with Jason at Yun Fitness Boot Camps. Now I get workout equipment and attire. This is fantastic, because they have bought into my lifestyle change. This motivates me to be a better father, husband, trainer and human being. Now, this takes us back to the questions a good trainer would have asked before jumping in and telling this person, “Do more work in the off days!”…..
1. Are you being honest with yourself when you say that you are working to your potential? Hopefully you are pushing your body during your workout. Jason Yun, owner and founder of Yun Fitness Boot camps posted a YouTube video blog about workout intensity. Check it out here: http://youtu.be/XRzjOhWUyaw
2. Are you following any guidelines for proper nutrition? Yun Fitness provides this information in the form of a Look Better Naked Nutrition Blueprint for its members. (Email if you didn’t get it)
3. Are your fitness goals realistic? Real weight loss is a steady progression when done properly. It won’t happen overnight. Change just doesn’t happen, it takes work!
4. Are you backing up your statement with facts? Progression photographs do wonders. Yun Fitness also provides members with a Body Composition consultation which consists of body circumference measurements, body fat testing, and before pictures. You can schedule this today with Jason for your first time or for a reassessment.
5. Have your family and friends “bought into” your fitness lifestyle change? This question is very important because we are products of our environment. Therefore, we must exchange our unhealthy home and work environment with one that is conducive to our new mind and body sets. Having a great support system makes all the difference. Plus it will, most likely, encourage others to change for the better.
Change can be difficult, but with hard work and an open mind it will definitely still be just that; a change. But it’s your choice: for the better, or for the worse?
My response to this person bothered me so much that I felt I needed to share this not only with the concerned party, but with everyone I know in an all out effort to help promote positive changes in our lives. It also gives me a opportunity to redeem myself and be that good trainer.
Now, in closing I would like to share with you my thought of the month. I do not claim this as mine and it is not necessarily fitness related, but just something to think about to make us all better communicators:
Why Complicate Life?
Missing somebody…….Call them
Want meet up……Invite them
Want be understood……Explain
Have questions……Ask
Don’t like something……Say it
Like something……State it
Don’t make your life more complicated by over-thinking a situation or expecting (or wanting) the other person to ask or go first. Life’s too short – Take charge……Just Do It.
STAY STRONG!!
Sincerely yours in health & fitness,
Rick Locke

Columbus Residents Prepare for Nationwide Fitness Transformation Contest
Columbus, Ohio- We’ve seen it on TV– people losing hundreds of pounds and transforming their bodies and lives right in front of us. What would you do if that opportunity came to Columbus? Would you sit idly by and watch your friends and neighbors change their lives, or would you join them?
This isn’t a pipe dream. It’s a reality.
Jason Yun, owner of Yun Strength and Fitness Systems in Columbus, Hilliard, and Reynoldsburg, has just announced his partnership with Personal Trainer Food also known as The Meal Movement– the hottest pre-made meal delivery system in the country– Fitness Consulting Group, and the Fitness Revolution franchise to put together their first ever National Transformation Contest.
Yun says, “I love helping people change their lives. Unfortunately there is so much misinformation out there, and many struggle with finding the right knowledge to make positive changes. This contest is going to help a lot of people make big changes in their lives and hopefully inspire many others to do the same. Nutrition is the biggest part and most difficult for most people, and I’m extremely thankful to have the Meal Movement on board as our National Sponsor.”
Yun has also teamed up with quite a few local businesses to offer local support throughout the community and also plenty of prizes to the contestants.
The contest, which will kick off on January 23rdall throughout the country, is an 8 week long, life changing event, consisting of proven training programs and workouts, and of course, a nutrition program designed to boost metabolism and promote healthy lifestyle changes.
The goal is for contestants to develop habits that will allow them to turn back the clock, add years onto their lives, and feel confidently about their bodies.
‘It takes 21 days to form a habit,” states Yun, “weather that habit is good or bad. Hopefully with this contest and myself and all of my trainers support and accountability we can make fitness and nutrition a good habit for everybody that enters and really change some lives in the process. Because it isn’t just the person in the contest who loses all the weight who’s life changes, it’s people in their lives as well. Health and fitness affects everybody it touches!”
Over 100 fitness facilities throughout the country will be involved, and the winner at each location will be evaluated for the opportunity to win a national grand prize of being the spokesperson for The Meal Movement and Personal Trainer Food.
The real winners, however, will be the participants and their families. “This isn’t just a quick fix. We want to help these people get their lives back,” said Yun.
“This is our 5th Transformation Contest overall. You can go to the contest page and see all the past finalists and winners at http://www.yunbootcamps.com/getsexy.html .”
Of course, if you want to do more than just follow along, the National Transformation Contest is open to all applicants who wish to enter. For more information on how to transform your body and your life, contact Jason Yun Fitness @ 614-432-9703 or jyun@yunbootcamps.com
