Surveys and studies have shown that as high as 96% of all health club members' diet and exercise programs fail to reach their desired results. While this number may seem high, there is a way to ensure that you are not in the majority! If you live in southern Jacksonville or northern St. Augustine and are serious about achieving your fitness goals, then you have to start working with one of our personal trainers! Working with a personal or group fitness trainers can all but guarantee your success in any diet and exercise program you may embark on. (Be sure to ask about our 100% Money Back Guarantee personal training programs!) There are several reasons why this is true:

• ACCOUNTABILITY Having regularly scheduled meetings with a personal trainer helps you make sure you get to the club on your workout days. Meeting with a personal trainer regularly that is going to ask if you have been making it to the club for cardio on your non-training days and following your nutrition program will also help ensure your success.


• EDUCATION There is a plethora of information about exercise, nutrition and exercise available to people via the internet, magazines, news reports and of course, infomercials. Unfortunately, most of the information you can get from those sources is worthless, or tainted with just enough truth that it sounds good. Just as you would not start taking multiple prescription medicines because you read an article on WebMD, without consulting a physician, you should not plan on embarking on a workout program that you got from a magazine or the Internet. True education about fitness, nutrition and exercise actually comes from research, journal studies and practical application training that fitness professionals receive during their college coursework or during their personal training certification process. Additionally, true fitness professionals engage in continuing education constantly to stay up to date on the latest research and exercise techniques. EBF's fitness professionals will provide you with the education about proper exercise technique, program design and nutritional programming to help and ensure your success.


• MOTIVATION You will probably start your exercise program with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, as you should! However, there will be some days when you just do not feel like pushing yourself as hard as you should, or even coming to the club at all. An effective personal trainer will help motivate you just enough to help you get the results you want. True personal fitness professionals are not drill sergeants that will push you to the point of collapsing or yell at you to get one more rep, but they will give you the extra motivation you need to get the most out of each and every workout you have!

   Group fitness training offers all the same benefits that individual personal training does, but allows you to work out with a group of friends, and is also offered at a substantial discount to regular training rates. There are several different group-training programs that we offer, but our most popular group training program, by far is our monthly rapid fat loss boot camp called LOOK BETTER NAKED BOOT CAMPS. We also offer group training programs such as "Women on Weights."
