Are You Wasting Your Time and Money At The Gym?

This is from a press release I sent out this week about brnad new research (from the March’09 Journal of Exercise Physiology and Physical Fitness).

Joining a gym is one of the first things on people’s minds when fighting the battle of the bulge.  Unfortunately a new study reveals that a plain gym membership is actually a waste of time and money for most people.

The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness just published a study looking at the difference in results between supervised and unsupervised exercise.  Group 1 met with a trainer twice-a-week in a small group (or semi-private) setting.  Group 2 was given basic advice and access to a fully equipped health club.

After 4 months researchers measured the results:

•    Group 1:  13.4lbs of fat-loss

•    Group 2:  3.7lbs of fat-loss

The supervised group lost 362% MORE fat than the unsupervised group in the exact same amount of time.  “It should also be noted that neither group was given any nutrition advice whatsoever.  These results only reflect the difference between trying to do it yourself and working with a qualified expert,” says Josef Brandenburg, and award-winning Washington, DC based personal trainer.

I think that its pretty clear that if you are really serious about making a serious change in your body that you need to hire a coach.  I know I did.
