Ready to fulfill your fitness goals? You have come to the right place. Team Beachbody as a name seems to suggest our goal is to help you "look" great. That is far from the reality. We help you "feel" great, "perform" great, and enjoy a long and active life.
I started Module Fitness in 2007 and have been training with P90X since then. I saw great results in Summer 2007, increasing my pull-ups

I started Module Fitness in 2007 and have been training with P90X since then. I saw great results in Summer 2007, increasing my pull-ups from 7 to 18 without a break, increasing my push-up from 52 to 112 without stopping, and being able to complete both Ab Ripper X and Plyometrics without hitting the pause button (no small feat if you never trained with P90X). By the end of 2007, I started a free Saturday morning fitness class at my church that still thrives today.
BUT....... in 2008, I started investing in real estate as a means to supplement my income so I can eventually leave my career as a software engineer for aerospace applications and have the time and resources I need to open a fitness and self defense school. Well, a year later and all the all-nighters and energy spent making this successful took its tole on my fitness. (All the sweets from Halloween to Valentines Day was no help, either.) In the beginning of March 2009, I had lost nearly all my gains from P90X in 2007, even with my weekly fitness classes (exercising once per week cannot compete with lack of sleep and poor diet). I decided to make a lifestyle change.
I am now on Shakeology and have started P90X again. But this time, I made a huge mental 180. I do not exercise for exercise sake. I "train". And you should, too. Training is exercise for a specific fitness goal. What is your goal? A valid fitness goal is some sort of activity that you desire to perform within 3 to 9 months that you currently find difficult to perform or complete. Less than 3 months and you are not reaching high enough for your dreams. More than 9 months, and it becomes resentful and hard to track progress. My fitness goals for end of June 2009 is to run a mile on the track (4 laps) in less than 5:30 and be able to perform 20 wide grip pull-ups.
Need help finding your goal? Is it to walk around your block 10 times really fast without stopping? Or is it being able to touch the palm of your hands to your toes while seated with legs extended? You see, they do not have to be sports related at all.
One more thing... My wife started Slim in 6 the last week of March 2009, so I will be coaching her on that as well as doing P90X and my weekly fitness class (plus the track work necessary to run my mile time goal). Crazy? Yeah if you told me I would be doing this last year. But I have balanced my time between work, family (playing with kids, doing my share of chores, spending quality time with my wife), investing, and fitness. AND YOU CAN TOO! Let me show you how.
Remember, NEVER start an exercise program if you have the following mindset:
1. Exercise for exercise sake.
2. Exercise without a fitness goal.
3. Exercise to lose weight.
Losing weight is NOT a fitness goal. It is a VANITY goal. More people quit exercising when their weight loss is not happening as fast as they want or not at all. People with vanity goals quit and do not BRING IT when they perform their workout. People with fitness goals don't quit, they BRING IT, and they enjoy every glorious ounce of pain and sweat. Your weight will adjust as you reach your goals. Let me show you what I mean.
Contact me at jasper@modulefitness.com or catch me on WOWY around 4:30am or 10:00pm EST doing P90X from my converted garage gym (or so I call it ;-) !
