And more importantly, you’re not doing anything wrong. In fact, you may be doing better than you think. Research has shown that even when people try to track their food accurately, there's often a gap between what we think we're eating and what we’re actually consuming. Sometimes, that gap is bigger than we realize. ....

Why You Can’t Fail (Unless You Stop)

Why You Can’t Fail (Unless You Stop) “You can’t fail.” That’s what we recently said to a Park Fitness member who felt like they hadn’t been as consistent as they used to be. With summer in full swing—camps, vacations, pool days, cookouts—it’s natural for things to get a little more bumpy than, say, early January, when the calendar’s wide open and motivation’s high. Let’s back up and give this a little context. We were chatting with a PF member who was in the middle of a rough patch with consistency. During the school year, they felt locked in: routine dialed, schedule set, workouts planned and ....

Why Physical Independence Is the Freedom You Can Build

Why Physical Independence Is the Freedom You Can Build As we celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s independence, the Fourth of July weekend can mean a lot of things. From barbecues and parades to fireworks lighting up the sky, it’s a holiday packed with tradition and celebration. And while it’s a time to honor our nation’s freedom, it’s also a great time to reflect on something a little more personal: 👉 Our own physical independence. Working in the fitness industry as long as we have, we’ve seen so many different versions of what physical independence means to people. Whether it’s getting up and down from the floor ....

Why Summer Can Be the Best Time

Why Summer Can Be the Best Time We were chatting with a Park Fitness member recently about—you guessed it— weight loss. We got to talking about the usual “seasons” of weight gain and weight loss. You probably know the pattern: Halloween to New Year’s?Hello, cookies and comfort food. January and February?Time to repent with resolutions and fat-burn goals. But then they hit us with this: “Not me,” they said. “Late spring and summer are my time to shine.” They went on: “I feel better when it’s ....

The Things That Cannot Be Bought

The Things That Cannot Be Bought The holidays are winding down and the sands in this year’s hourglass have just about finished trickling from the top to the bottom. It’s at this time of year where we talk about new goals or resolutions for the upcoming year. And that can be powerful in it’s own way: fresh start, a clean slate and a definitive date to begin. All these things help make a New Year’s resolution so powerful. But today we want to go a bit further. Ok, a lot further. Bear with us a second and ask yourself, “what does my ideal life look like at 80?” You see, we recently came across a great post online ....

How To Stick With Fitness

How To Stick With Fitness Something we often get asked when we talk with people who are brand new to Park Fitness is, “How does everyone stick with it?” This is such an important question that we actually wish everyone asked it. The reason why is because sticking with fitness, for most people, is tough. The national average of people with a gym membership is currently somewhere around 19%. That means about 81% of the population do not have a gym membership. And of that 19% who does, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are using their membership. Now, we are in no way judging. We know everyone comes to this fitness thing differently. ....
