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 ....

Don't Wait to Get in Shape: Why Today is the Best Day!

Don't Wait to Get in Shape: Why Today is the Best Day! We’ve all been there, thinking, “I’ll start working out once I lose a few pounds,” or “I need to be in better shape before I join, or go back to, the gym.” Well, it’s time to throw those thoughts out the window! Waiting until you’re in better shape to start a fitness plan is like waiting until you’re rich to start saving money—it doesn’t make sense! Embrace the Journey First things first, fitness is a journey, not a destination. Every fitness enthusiast, no matter how fit they are now, started somewhere. They ....

Feeling Good

Feeling Good! Hey there, fellow fitness enthusiasts and soon-to-be converts! Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of exercise and mental health? Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey filled with endorphins, serotonin, and a whole lot of feel-good vibes. Let's start with a little science, shall we? You see, when you get your body moving – whether it's dancing like nobody's watching, hitting the pavement for a run, or joining a workout at Park Fitness – your brain releases a delightful cocktail of chemicals.

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. ....

Adding Accountability

Adding Accountability We are officially inside the season of Spring. Spring Break for many has arrived. The weather is great. And baseball season is here. The O's and Nats are playing games that count and youth baseball is all around us. As we all know, baseball is not a one person sport. And, neither is leading a healthy lifestyle. It isn’t about being independent. Having an accountability buddy, or buddies, is the best way to stay motivated on your healthy lifestyle voyage. One of the biggest reasons lifestyle changes don't stick is because we don't hold ourselves accountable. The realization of the work involved in changing your life ....

Sitting Pretty: How Our New Normal Is Keeping Us Still

Sitting Pretty: How Our New Normal Is Keeping Us Still Let’s be real for a minute: life has gotten pretty darn convenient, hasn’t it? We can work from the comfort of our couches, shop without leaving the house (thanks, Amazon!), and even order our favorite meals with just a few taps on our phones. Movie nights? We’ve got entire theaters in our living rooms now. But while all this convenience feels like a dream come true, there’s a not-so-little downside we’re all facing: we’re moving a whole lot less. The Age of Convenience (and Couch Living) Let’s paint the picture. With remote work, those daily commutes have turned into ....

How to Find Motivation

How to Find Motivation We often get questions and feedback about motivation. More specifically getting motivated or feeling motivated. Now, we could go on for pages and pages about motivation (and if you want to read some of our thoughts on how in many cases, motivation might not be all that important, you can click here ). Recently at Park Fitness, we shared an excerpt from James Clear’s Atomic Habits where he talks about our behavior and identity. “The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior. In fact, the word identity was originally derived from the Latin words essentitas, which ....
