How Are You Different?
2 min read
When someone calls us or sets up a scheduled facility tour, a common question we get asked is “how are you different”? We sum it up with one word:
Personalization.
In this article, we will review the options out there for those seeking fitness options, the barriers that one sets upon themselves as to why they cannot keep a solid fitness plan together, and how ExPo LIFE FITNESS takes a different approach vs. other fitness facilities on the market.
Fitness studios that offer classes exclusively may fall short in providing comprehensive guidance on proper form and sustainable fitness habits. While classes can be a great way to introduce variety and motivate individuals to stay active, they may not provide enough personalized attention to each member to ensure proper technique and form.
Large class sizes (ranging from 12 to 25 or more people) can contribute to this shortfall in achieving sustainable fitness results, as the instruction is geared towards the group rather than the individual. While some may appreciate the social aspect of large classes, the primary goal for most attendees is to improve their fitness outcomes.
In addition, class-only studios may not have the resources or expertise to provide tailored fitness plans that consider individual fitness goals, limitations, and preferences. This can lead to a lack of progress or even injury if members perform exercises improperly or with poor form.
Moreover, fitness habits are built over time and require consistency, discipline, and a solid understanding of how exercise and nutrition work together to promote overall health. This requires TIME by the member and the educated instructor in a 1:1 setting that is conducive for meaningful discussion.
Class-only studios may not have the capacity to provide this level of education and support, leaving members to rely solely on the limited guidance provided during class time. Without the necessary knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their health and fitness, members may struggle to achieve their goals or maintain a healthy lifestyle beyond the studio walls.
Maintaining a regular fitness and nutrition routine is a daunting task for many people. Despite the numerous benefits that come with being physically active and eating a healthy diet, studies have shown that many individuals struggle to stick to a consistent fitness and nutrition regimen.
We have identified some of the reasons why people find it difficult to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine and how ExPo LIFE FITNESS has developed Breaking the Start-Stop Chain to assist its members to keep them on their path.
LACK OF TIME
One of the main reasons people struggle to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine is a lack of time. In today’s fast-paced world, many individuals have busy schedules that leave little time for exercise or meal planning. Studies have shown that people who work long hours or have multiple responsibilities are less likely to engage in physical activity and may opt for fast food or convenience meals that are high in calories and low in nutrition.
There is frequently a belief that because of a lack of time, other things must take precedence over our health. Do you think you would prioritize your health if you visited a doctor and they informed you that must exercise because your health is at risk?
PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS
Another reason people struggle to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine is psychological barriers. Many individuals find it hard to motivate themselves to exercise regularly or stick to a healthy diet. In some cases, people may feel intimidated or self-conscious about working out in public, while others may struggle with feelings of guilt or shame if they miss a workout or eat unhealthy food.
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is another significant factor that can affect people’s ability to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine. Without a sense of accountability, it is easy to make excuses and skip workouts or indulge in unhealthy food choices. Some people may feel that they are not responsible for their health, while others may lack the support and encouragement they need to stay on track.
BREAKING THE START-STOP CHAIN™
At ExPo LIFE FITNESS, we understand the challenges that people face when trying to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine. 
That is why we have developed Breaking the Start-Stop Chain, an ongoing platform designed to help our members overcome these obstacles and stay on track with their health and wellness goals.
Breaking the Start-Stop Chain works by providing our members with ongoing tools and resources they need to establish healthy habits and make sustainable lifestyle changes. This is embedded in our membership offerings, specific equipment for accelerating healing, and the weaving of fitness education and physiology through every discussion, just to name a few.
Our platform includes personalized workout plans, dietitian counseling, and ongoing support from a team of experienced fitness and wellness professionals. By working with our team, members can develop a sense of accountability and motivation that will help them stay on track and achieve their fitness and nutrition goals.
The Benefits of Working with Professionals
While it may be tempting to try to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine on your own, working with professionals has numerous benefits.
For starters, a team of experienced fitness and wellness professionals can provide you with personalized guidance and support that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. This can help you overcome any psychological barriers or logistical challenges that may be standing in your way.
Although ‘coaches’ in class-based gyms do a great job in rising the energy-level in the room, they are running the workout designed for that day and are not set up to address your personal fitness goals. In some cases, their lack of equipment is a limiting barrier as well.
Another benefit of working with professionals is the sense of accountability that it provides. When you work with a team of experts, you have a built-in support system that can help you stay motivated and on track.
This can be especially helpful if you tend to make excuses or struggle with self-motivation. When you understand HOW to conduct an exercise with proper form and the science behind the WHY to keep you injury-free/pain-free, your results come faster. For selfish reasons, it is just fun to be able to push yourself knowing you are not at risk of getting hurt.
Finally, working with professionals can also be more effective than trying to maintain a regular fitness and nutrition routine on your own. 
A team of experienced fitness and wellness professionals can help you develop a customized workout plan that is tailored to your specific fitness goals and needs.
They can also provide you with nutrition coaching and other resources that can help you make sustainable lifestyle changes that will support your health and well-being over the long term.
Maintaining a regular fitness and nutrition routine is challenging, but it is not impossible. It requires time and education by professionals.
By understanding the barriers that can prevent people from sticking to a consistent regimen and by working with professionals, individuals can overcome these obstacles and achieve their health and wellness goals.
ExPo LIFE FITNESS offers a comprehensive approach that includes personalized guidance, education, and support to help members develop sustainable fitness habits that can lead to long-term success.
