Aug 15^th, 2011 – Billerica, Ma - The owner of the North Shore, & Middlesex Area fitness boot camps program ML Athletics Boot camps will be having a Grand Opening at their new private fitness facility at 655 Boston Rd, Unit 5B Bradford Place in Billerica, MA called Fit Body Stop Studio, by ML Athletics, on Saturday, September 10^th.

Tucked away in a hidden corner of Billerica is a place where fitness junkies will go to get their fix according to Owner and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Michael LoColle. He says "We created this facility for people who really like to get after it when it comes to working out. This is NOT the place for you if you are a cardio queen, don't like to sweat, spend 45 minutes working on your bi's and tri's, like to read magazines during training, roll your eyes at people who are actually exerting themselves at the gym, or if you consider walking to be a real workout. However, if you're serious about your fitness, this truly is the place for you!"

The Fit Body Stop Studio will feature Specialty Fitness Classes, Small Group Training, Boot camps, Personal Training, TRX, KettleBell, Nutrition, Workout Workshops and so much more. Michael LoColle goes on to say that “the Fit Body Stop Studio will incorporate Personal Fitness Training, Nutrition Consultation, Small Group Training, adding New Style Fitness Classes utilizing training concepts such as, Plyo Workouts, Yoga Style Stretch, Pilates, and many other training circuits that will allow for a killer metabolic workout that combine the muscle-building benefits of strength training with the fat-burning benefits of cardiovascular exercise to allow you to get the biggest bang-for-your-fitness-buck”.  He goes onto to say “we have found the best and most skilled in these classes, such as Kelly LaCasse from Fitsique Body&Mind and Dina Wiroll that will be incorporating Nutrition Classes”.

It was created as the anti-gym. According to Owner and Certified Personal Trainer Michael LoColle “The Fit Body Stop Studio features cost-effective fitness classes and space-efficient functional training tools and leave the unnecessary frills endemic to most health clubs alone.”

LoColle says "Our goal is to provide something for everyone and create this tight-knit, hardcore community of fitness fanatics, unlike other smaller fitness studios we will not operate under the cookie cutter way of doing things, everyone is not created equal and therefore does not need the same style of training, we offer customized training for the individual. We believe in the potential of Billerica, MA and couldn't be more excited about being a part of its bright future!" 

The official Fit Body Stop Studio by ML Athletics opened its doors on June 1^st and will be holding a Grand Opening on September 10^th, at 655 Boston Rd, Unit 5B Billerica Ma 01821.  We have Deb Fubel from Massage Me & Bodyworks onsite doing quick 5-10 minute mini-massages, Food Psychology Coach Andrea Cohen,  Krisztina Perron from Motives Makeup doing mini-makeup consults, “Erika Wadman “ from Lia Sophia Jewelry, Dina Wiroll of Feed Your Soul Nutrition Consulting discussing the Nutrition Academy Classes, Kelly LaCasse from Fitsique Body & Mind to talk about her offerings such as Kettlebell and TRX.

This studio will operate by appointment only as it is not an open gym.

8 Week Challenge Winner from our Billerica & Winchester Bootcamp!

Hey All,

What an incredible 8 weeks we had this summer! I have listed below the winners from our 8 week Bootcamp Challenge from our Winchester and Billerica Bootcamp!

It certainly isn’t easy to choose the winner of any competition. It’s especially difficult when everybody puts their heart and soul into it- something that specifically typifies a body transformation contest. It’s important for everyone to realize that no matter who is the official winner of the contest, everybody who participated wins. We saw some incredible results this summer and this time of year is usually when people fall off their workout routines, so congrats on staying on track!

“A Challenge gives that extra boost that many people need to push out of their comfort zone to finally make the complete commitment to change their bodies, and to change their lives. Sure, not everybody can win a prize. But certainly everybody wins because of the fact that the contest made everybody step up their game. The fact of the matter is that the group as a whole achieved better results than they would have without the friendly competition that constantly pushed them to get better.

I want to say thank you to everyone who participated as you all pushed passed those limits. We talk about living the life through being Healthy and if that is done the side effect is weight loss.

The 8 Week Challenge winners are listed below:

Winners were chosen based on several criteria including % of Body Fat Lost, Strength Component and were also awarded points for keeping track of Nutrition Logs and Grocery Bills, and the Buddy System.

The Challenge Winner is Kelly Jo-Stratton Murphy from our Billerica & Winchester Bootcamp! She won the Strongest Bootcamper, on both a Mental and Physical level.

She pushed passed those limits, jumped over hurdles sometimes literally and really put the entire package together to get the results she did!

Kelly started at 25.2% BF, ended at 24.9%. Down .3%, Her starting weight:148, now 142

Just amazing in such a short amount of time!!!

Here is what Kelly receives!

- Gift Certificate to Massage Me & Bodyworks!
- T-shirts for both ML Athletics and Fitsique Body and Mind!
- Phase III Recovery Drinks

Janice Roberts won *Most Motiv8ed* from our Billerica Bootcamp! Janice got 80+ points of Motiv8's!!!

Katie Connors won *Health Nut* from our Winchester Bootcamp! She had the BEST grocery receipts!

Katie and Janice will Receive Trophies as well as a T-Shirt for Both ML Athletics and Fitsique Body&Mind!

Please help me in congratulating them as they have done an outstanding job!

Thank you all for making this a success and each one of you have pushed your individual limits and with that inspire others saying it can be done…

Awesome Job to everyone!

Sacrifice & Your Commitment to Yourself

Hey all,

I am not sure how else to put this so I will just lay it all out for everyone……

So over the past few weeks I've noticed a lot of people having some serious challenges with their weight loss goals.

What I'm here to talk to you about today is what does it take to lose weight

Is it exercise?

Is it the food you eat?

Supplements?

How about dedication, commitment,

Oh here’s a big one, Sacrifice this last one is huge.

So sacrifice is so important that it should be first on the list. Most people don’t realize that when getting into a program like this or in general just trying to lose weight and stay in shape that there are certain things we have to give up for a little bit……

We have lived a certain lifestyle for certain period time it could be year 2yrs, 5yrs, or even 20, or 30yrs, and we've lived that way for so long that to try to live a completely different way now is a huge sacrifice and that's really kind of what I'm here to talk to you about today.

The steps to lose weight are actually pretty straight forward but you must be mentally ready to take on this challenge. You need to be committed to yourself, you need to be dedicated to the program and you need to sacrifice some of those things that you may not want to initially to get to your goal I know that, that's the reason why most of you are not getting the results you want to see.

You really have to take the time and say to yourself: Can I for 12 weeks live without my glass of wine can I live without my pasta can I live without my breads……Can I live without all those thing that I enjoy? Just for a little while……

There a lot of programs out there that say you can still eat what you want and lose weight, to a degree that is true but it only works for so long. A lot of you have to understand that you really need to change the way you eat and your lifestyle.

It’s your lifestyle that needs to be changed. It's the way you think, the way your brain is programmed right now that needs to be changed first.

And a lot of you may not be at that point to truly sacrifice those things, those little things to get to where you to be.

You might say that you're uncomfortable in the body that you have but if you lived in it for 20 years then how uncomfortable could you really be?

So where do you start? Simple Start with you, make small changes over time so that by the time 4 weeks have passed you are on a steady track to losing weight.
Here’s some tips…

To change the way you live you have to start right at home……

1.Get rid of the temptations, now you might say well I have kids and how can I deny them cookies, or cake, or ice cream. Simple get them to eat the way you eat, I am not saying not to treat them once and a while and yourself too, but it’s a treat……Don’t by that stuff when you go shopping.

I have a 5 year old before you start saying well you don’t understand, trust me I do! He now asks me for fruit, veggies with every meal, did this come over night, I say NOT…..it took time but he doesn’t crave the cookies, the sugar, the salts……

2.To piggy back on number one, when you go shopping force yourself to look down, that’s where the healthy foods are. The food companies pay the supermarkets for an eye level shelf because they have studied the human brain, we are programmed to look eye level and they know it……

3.To those wine drinkers, and I have spoken to many of you that like a good glass of wine and hey so do I from time to time. Ask yourself if you need it every night….. It’s full of sugar and that’s your number one enemy against weight loss.
Remember 12 weeks to a new you is very possible but you must be willing to start there…….

Are you willing to sacrifice those little things in life for a short period of time, when you'll be able to go back to them eventually but you need to get the results your want first…

I'll leave you with that and you know I'm here if you ever need questions or anything I can answer for you.

I would love to get your feedback and comments below and even some helpful suggestions from people that have had success with weight loss….. What tips can you give us?

Start with changing you!

Have an awesome day
Your Fit Coach
Mike
