Too often we get caught up in the “should” and “have to” in life and lose sight of the things we enjoy doing and support our physical, emotional, and mental well being.
What better time to do that then on/around your birthday?
I have found over the course of the last few years that the more actions I take to positively feed my mind, body, and soul the happier I am, the more productive I am, and the better person, coach, friend, and family member I am.
It doesn’t need to be your birthday to celebrate YOU!
Why It’s Important to Celebrate Yourself
Let’s face it; if you don’t take control of your own happiness, health, and well being, no one else is going to do it for you.It’s time that we realize that catering to everyone else’s needs before our own doesn’t lead us to being the best versions of ourselves that we can be. Often times it leads us to fatigue, unhappiness, a sense of not being fulfilled, health problems, burn out, and the inability to sleep. We are left tired, stressed out, and emotionally, mentally, and physically drained.
Most of us probably don’t listen to the flight attendant go over the safety instructions when we fly but we could take away a BIG LESSON in life if we did…”Make sure to put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others.”
In that tired, stressed out, drained state we aren’t much good to anyone including ourselves. We aren’t living each day to it’s full potential and sharing the gift that each one of us has to offer.
Life is too short to not live it to the fullest!
Is Self-Care Selfish
Taking time for us is often associated with being selfish. We feel guilty if we set boundaries with our friends and family to meet our own needs. We use the excuse that we “don’t have time” to exercise, or simply relax doing something we enjoy. What you will find when you practice self-care on a regular basis is that you are more productive and don’t need as much time to get the things done that you need to. You will waste less energy mentally and physically because you will be fully engaged in what you are doing at any given time. It is proven that regular exercise, clean nutrition (avoiding gluten, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, etc.), quality sleep, and meditation all increase productivity.
I can’t quite understand how taking care of ourselves by carving out time to meditate, exercise, do yoga, take a walk, relax in the bath, read a good book, make a nutritious meal at home, or time to just simply be alone is selfish.
Is it our own belief that taking the time to care for our needs is selfish or are we taking on someone else’s belief? The great thing is that we have control over our own mindset. We can change our mindset and self-talk to reflect these actions positively. “I take time daily to care for my body, mind, and spirit.”
Daily Self-Care
Don’t wait for your birthday, or any other special occasion to celebrate YOU! We take the best care of ourselves by establishing daily self-care habits. This can be as small as setting aside 5 minutes to sit quietly and focus on your breathing. Keep in mind that daily self-care to increase our health and well being doesn’t need to take up a lot of time.
Self Care can be…
Taking a detox bath
Going for a short walk in nature
Taking a nap or going to bed early
Preparing a delicious meal that supports your nutrition plan and sitting down to enjoy it
Writing in a gratitude journal
Talking with a friend, spouse, or family member
Exercising
Practicing a few yoga poses or taking a class
Meditation
Reading a good book
Engaging in your favorite hobby
Massage
Writing down and reading positive affirmations
Any behavior or activity that increases your health and well being
Each individual needs to identify what self-care is/means for them.
In the meantime, take care of you, you deserve it;
And stay healthy my friends...

That's right folks!
February is 2 weeks away and I was taking note of where I'm at in my businesses, my personal life, and I have to say I'm almost caught up and working to better each aspect of it.
I fell short on my schedule as well as my training, a couple injury setbacks put me in a little slump, but now I'm back to full strength and I have to be responsible on my road back to my own personal programming.
One thing left to bring back to my life and that's my Brazilian Ju-Jitsu practice.
I always have considerations when looking at my own programming, I have to look at all my external stresses first. Family's been sick and out for the count for the last 2 weeks, this means you have to pick up some of the slack. back and injury setbacks in the holidays, sleep deprivation when starting a new gym as well as another business venture at the same time. And, I'm no spring chicken anymore, creeping up to 47.
I'm not a resolution kind of coach, I make one small change at a time, and for me last year was to wake up quite early to be more creative in the morning, and it worked. This new year it's been a struggle but I haven't lost my focus which is the most important factor for me to succeed for my family.
This year I was happy to start with new clients and slow growth but very happy to see new faces, and I have to thank my great clients for that. Word of mouth is always the best way to grow, I have to be grateful that I have a great little community of people that will continue to profess my resume.
On that note I am going to start my new promo for February!
February as you know is the infamous month for Valentines Day! This day in my own personal history has been riddled with great moments, irritable ones, but looking back it was always a bit of an adventure.
That is why I'm going to do the the first PROMO for our little location:
February 14 Days, For $14 For All Couples!
That's right, and by couples I mean all couples, bring anyone you like or love.
This includes, Lovers, husbands and wives, husbands and husbands, wives and wives, a couple of friends, a couple of family members, etc. If you like them or love them, just bring them.
Come as a couple and pay $14 each, from February 1 to February 14.
Quick caveat: If you train only 2-days, it's still $14. So take advantage
What Do I Get For $14 Coach?
You get an assessment which includes a Functional Movement Screen, as well as a Body Composition test. A lifestyle questionnaire and your very own program that you will use in our signature small group personal training, the Wolfpack Training System.
The start of this month will give you the opportunity to test drive our Wolfpack Training System for up to 5 days a week. The proof is in the pudding, there's is NO way you will succeed in training if you don't pin point your specific needs, and build consistency around it.
Be accountable, be consistent, be true to your goals; I promise you results!
If you're interested in starting in February, Just write "14" in the subject line!
In the meantime;
Stay healthy my friends...
Coach, Franco
P.S. GO NINERS!!! ... See MoreSee Less

I’m going to be taking a small group of people through a fun 2-week program to start the new year off right.
Comment below if you're interested. ... See MoreSee Less
How to Succeed with your Resolutions
Any time of the year is a good time to address the issue of FAILED New Year’s Resolutions. According to statistics compiled by a “big box” gym, the most drastic drop off in gym attendance occurs 38 days from the New Year (February 7th).
We all begin the year with high hopes and big goals for our health and fitness. But only 30 days into the year, only 6 out of 10 people are still on track with their goal to "lose weight," "exercise more," or "eat healthy."
And by the end of the year, only 1 out of 10 people have sustained their New Year's Resolution to be healthier.
What’s even worse for those who actually do lose weight, 80% of them gain it back again AND 67% of those people gain more weight back than they originally lost!
Without getting into the physiology of a messed up metabolism that extreme dieting, crazy HCG protocols (Human Chronic gonadotropin), and over-training causes let’s look at it from a different angle…
PARADIGMS
Your paradigm is essentially how you see the world.It’s a multitude of beliefs and habits (passed along and picked up) that ultimately control your actions.
Joel Barker said, “To ignore the power of paradigms
Side note to parents – YOU form your children’s paradigms.“What you don’t fix they will inherit.They’re an extension of YOU.” – Bob Proctor
It’s important to note for those of you trying to “get rid of bad habits” and “pick up good habits” that HABITS CANNOT BE ERASED. THEY MUST BE REPLACED.
But, once your old habits are replaced with new ones, what’s the secret to creating LONG-TERM habit change and keeping the weight off?
FAITH
Faith requires believing in the unseen and/or not yet materialized into reality.
Your weight-loss and fitness journey will not be linear.
There will be plateaus
There will be temptations.
There will be obstacles.
But, faith in YOURSELF and in the process will overcome these setbacks.
When times get hard, you will unconsciously fall back on your faith…or lack thereof.
So, how do you build up your faith?
REPETITION and COMMUNITY.
Repetition is at the foundation of learning. We must see, hear, read, experience things over and over and over again before they truly become engrained in us.
Community is the reinforcement of behavior through group participation and group approval – THIS is important when it comes to your weight loss and fitness goals!
Think about the most powerful passionate belief systems…
Church, politics, sports, and even AA meeting are held in groups for a reason.
Although not everyone in a community may be your best friend, communities provide support to keep you on track through the “power of loose ties.”
You see; we tend to surround ourselves with people that are similar to us, so our closet friends tend to have the same habits that we do (by the way, this works against ourselves when we’re trying to make a major lifestyle change like being more healthy & fit). There is also no pressure to impress your closest friends and family because you already know that you have their acceptance. If not, that’s a different conversation all together. Just remember, while you might not be able to pick your family, you CAN pick your friends…
On the other hand, “loose ties” or people that you would consider acquaintances can be a powerful factor in habit change. When you join a new community that has habits that you aspire to develop, but might be out of your current comfort zone, the peer pressure of gaining acceptance and wanting to impress your new peers HELPS drive these changes.
Belief is often viewed as something that develops out of our control, but understanding the subconscious psychological power of communities can help you put yourself in a position for long-term success. The power of “loose ties” plus seeing others in the community who have succeeded in situations similar to yours creates belief. As you begin to believe more you build up your faith.
So, if you’re SERIOUS about hitting your goals this year, find a proven system that you can believe in and a community that supports your goals.
Believe in yourself, believe in your journey; it's perfect...

Well, my friends, most of us are all back at work.
We've finished the holidays and realized where did the time go?
For me it was working with clients, moving my gym and settling into the new permanent space for at least this year.
We had really sick babies at home, my wife got really sick with a throat infection, I myself got an ear infection, and threw my back out. In and out of client's homes for the in-home sessions and back to the gym for those taking advantage of the Calgary Food Bank donations promo. Also finally trying to sneak in a workout when I started feeling better.
And let's not forget Christmas shopping; thankfully my babies are too young to be picky, even boxes make them happy.
Wow! That was a mouthful.
The thing is my evenings with my Nathaly, gave us the opportunity to look towards the future. What do we want from 2020?
The better question we realized was, what are we going to do for 2020? How will we improve as a family, how will I improve as a husband and father as well as a business owner?
I'm not a resolution kind of guy, but I will definitely start to take better care of myself, improve my sleep and obviously my eating habits.
My reason is easy, it's how I become better for those I love. These 2 simple things, but you'll notice that they are specific, as well as simple.
Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves and set ourselves up to fail...
These two simple things will improve all facets that are important in my life, family, business, etc.
I'm not going to bore you with details in regards to every step I will take but keeping those things in mind always, will make me more disciplined in my decision making.
That's right, don't forget that in the end we have choices, and it's usually the easy and the hard road and nothing good came from the easy route.
Well, my friends, I'll leave you with this. Stay the course, don't make hard goals for yourself especially if you haven't come close to those goals in the past.
Hard goals are long term goals and they're a daily grind, the question is, what are you doing today to make your journey in life that much better?
Start 2020, right. Make good decisions in regards to your health, and make an effort to do one thing right daily; it's compounded interest towards a healthy mindset, I promise.
Stay healthy my friends, and here's to a year!

“Yoga is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation.”
Wait! Aren't you a Personal and Athletic trainer and praise the benefits of good old fashioned steel in your hands? Grunting, sweating with loud music in the background?
I do, but I dedicate this write up to my lovely wife and her search for the perfect Yoga class...
And by the way, I've done the odd Yoga class and I rocked them! It's due to my superior strength and stability and waning flexibility that still lingers.
Ok, let's get started, The benefits of yoga are very vast. They include but are not limited to.
1. Helping you move better and feel less stiff or tired
Can help you to build strength and endurance especially core strength
2. Helps your body awareness and can therefore also improve your posture
3. Feel less stressed and more relaxed
4. Can help to lower blood pressure and slow your heart rate
5. Has been linked to lower cholesterol, lower triglyceride levels, and better immune system function
Types of Yoga
There are many different types of yoga. It will depend on what you are looking to get out of a yoga practice, as well as your personality as to which type will be most optimal for you. Below are the most common types of yoga to choose from.
Ashtanga
Bikram (Hot)
Hatha
Iyengar
Kundalini
Power
Restorative
Vinyasa
Yin
Restorative Yoga
I want to focus this article on Restorative Yoga because of it’s profound effects on our stress levels and the ability to bring our body back into balance. The guiding principle of this type of yoga is that support creates a release. By using props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks the body feels supported enough to release and let go of muscular tension. You can virtually take any yoga pose and make it a restorative pose by adding support and lengthening the duration of the pose.
In our fast-paced, never-stop society, Restorative Yoga gives us the opportunity to be still and get back to our true nature.
Restorative Yoga postures help the body release built up tension by gently lengthening and opening the whole body including the muscles and connective tissue. Through this, equilibrium is restored in the body and the body regains lost energy and vitality. In a world where we are always going, going, going, restorative yoga is a remedy for the challenges of stress.
Because poses are held for 3-9 minutes or longer, you are able to deeply “let go. ”This “letting go” allows the body to naturally restore balance and well being. Our bodies want to return to homeostasis - a state of balance. The problem is that many factors including stress pull us away from this balance.
The practice of Restorative Yoga turns off the flight or fight response and engages the process of rest and digest, inducing a physiological state that is the exact opposite of the stress response and allows the body time and means to return to homeostatic balance.
Adding a yoga practice to your current training program can provide you with physical, mental, and emotional benefits. A great place to start is with a class once a week, a workshop, or even a DVD.
On that note, My wife loves to do this particular young lady's yoga videos on YouTube and after working on my laptop while she does a Yoga sequence or two, I started to take note. She's actually really good. So I'll leave you with this link below and you should subscribe to her if you also enjoy it, so let's welcome Yoga With Adrienne.

Good morning gang!
It's been a hot minute since we chatted about food so I thought with Xmas on its way, why not dabble a little.
8 Rules to staying fit during the Xmas season...
1. Don't drink the tasty coffee when you're out at lunch with your workmates.
2, Drink more water than usual during this festive season since you're probably intaking way more sugar than you're used to.
3. Really try to get to the gym at least twice a week during this season for your weights, and twice a week for your cardio, you'll thank me later.
4. Those tasty cookies at your admin's desk; enjoy one, not one every time you walk by.
5. It's the Xmas party in your office, the buffet is laid out. Enjoy a nice plate of goodies, not 3 plates, and don't finish the evening washing it down with 5 pints or more, you're not 21 anymore and those calories aren't going to sweat away in bed as you sleep!
6. Wait! It's Xmas party time, which means there are more parties; please see rule number 3!
7. It's Xmas dinner with family, you see that turkey or ham? Ya, it's for everyone, not just you. Don't eat and then sit on the couch with your belt and top buttons undone, it's not sexy. PORTION CONTROL!
8. Finally, New Years is upon us, please see all 7 rules prior
Well, my friends, enjoy the holidays and take advantage of this season and train in the gym if you like under my watchful tutelage, better yet, bring a friend.
All you have to do is bring a food donation to the Calgary Food Bank!
Enjoy your day!
Coach, Franco ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning friends!
Well, phase one of the move is done and now I'm just waiting on a little bit of equipment!
A couple power racks, pull up bars, benches and soft plyo boxes.
This little waiting period will just give me time to rest my forearms, since they took a beating in the move!
I will keep you updated.
Thanks again for all of your support, I really appreciate the shares and I want to take this time to also appreciate my lovely wife Nathaly Pizarro for helping me with all of this, she was the second man in farmer walking up and downstairs and taking care of our baby!
and I hope to see you guys wandering into my facility soon for a session.
Her's a couple pictures of the first move!
Enjoy your day, and spread the word that the month of December to all of your friends and family is the cost of a Food Bank Donation!

It's Moving Day!!!
It's going to be a long day, but worthwhile in the end.
I look forward to seeing some new faces as we grow, and I look forward to seeing some of you in the gym this coming month trying a class or two, or maybe some small group personal training.
And now for the uphill battle to get this gym working smoothly...
In the meantime;
Stay healthy my friends! ... See MoreSee Less
