𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭. And with the New Year coming up, I keep thinking about this: I’ve never coached someone who regretted getting stronger. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞. But I’ve coached plenty who regretted waiting… Waiting for January 1st. Waiting for the “right” plan. Waiting for life to magically clear space for them. You see, the calendar doesn’t change you. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨. And those choices start long before the ball drops. When you decide to show up for yourself — even in the chaos, even in the holiday craziness — that’s ....

The difference between limiting beliefs and excuses are important to understand. Both will hold you back, but they operate in different ways. Limiting Beliefs Limiting beliefs are deeply held convictions or thoughts about yourself, your abilities, or the world around you that restrict your potential. These beliefs often stem from past experiences, societal messages, or self-doubt, and they shape how you see what's possible for you. Examples of limiting beliefs: "I’ll never be good enough." "I’m not smart enough to succeed." “I have been big my whole life I will always be big." “I’m too old and too far gone ....

We’re at a point in the obesity epidemic where so many people believe their only option for losing weight is through weight loss drugs or surgery. Some believe that they can’t lose weight at all. I hear this all the time I was big my whole life I will always be big. (Not True limiting beliefs) With so many fad diets and quick fixes out there, it’s no wonder people fall into the trap thinking these will work long-term. Yet year after year, we try and fail, only to end up back where we started—or worse, heavier than when we began. But here’s the truth: weight loss drugs aren’t going to fix the root of the problem if you ....

Don't be fooled by the allure of diets promising no food restrictions or quick fixes! Many trendy diets, like keto, may seem appealing, but think about it – are you really going to swear off carbs forever ?My personal experience with keto taught me that even too much broccoli can knock you out of ketosis! The truth is, sustainable weight loss involves some level of restriction, usually in the form of a calorie deficit. Restriction doesn't mean giving up all your favorite foods, but it's about finding a balance.Enjoy those savory treats occasionally, but successful weight loss requires a mindful approach. Remember, you can't have everything you want whenever you ....

Skinny Does Not Always Mean Healthy—Here’s Why: How many times have you heard someone say, "I’m skinny, so I’m healthy"? It’s a common assumption, but here’s the reality: skinny doesn’t always mean healthy. Let’s break it down. Have you ever heard the term "skinny fat"? This describes someone who may appear to be at a healthy weight based on BMI but actually has a higher percentage of body fat compared to muscle. They look slim, but they’re missing the muscle mass that plays a crucial role in overall health. In this case, the focus needs to be on building muscle and losing fat, which takes time and consistency. ....
Read moreCheck this out!! Super hot topic Question Can you spot target fat by working out one muscle group? Example: If I do abs every day will I get a 6 pack? Example: Whats some good inner thigh workouts for my legs so i can lose some fat there? Example: I want to lose my gut what exercises do I need to do to accomplish this? So can you spot target fat? That is the question The answer is no!!! You can not spot target fat by finding exercises to work that muscle group. Fat will come off your body as it comes off and some areas take longer than others. For example a male will lean out in his arms and legs first but his mid section is the last to go ....

Iron therapy training has helped me not only loose weight but I was able to get completely off my blood pressure medicine. I not only feel like I look better I feel better. I have more energy and stamina. My strength and muscle tone have improved greatly in the 6 weeks I have been doing the program. I’m eating better and feeling better than I have in years. Additionally I have gone down two pant sizes as well. Wearing the same waist size I wore in high school which was over 40 years ago!! I have lost 15.8 lbs in 6 weeks. This program works!!
I wanted to really crush my diet and get my bodyfat down before my wedding so I made the decision to work with Aaron. I was a little worried about the results at first because it was a new fitness program for me, but with my wedding coming up I knew it was the perfect time to try something new and make things happen. Aaron has been great to work with and makes working out fun. He is very easy to talk to and really listened to what my fitness goals and even my life goals were. He genuinely wants to help his clients. I'm glad I did. I loved the workouts and the nutrition plan was easy to follow. I lost some weight and a few inches of fat around my waist, my posture improved, and I felt great overall. Oh, and I felt pretty great on my wedding day too! I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the program. Thanks!
Special shout out to Iron Therapy Training Aaron Raney and Ashley Raney for helping me lose weight and feel much stronger and better. I have just got blood work back from Dr.Smith and my A1C dropped from 9 to a 5.5 and i was able to get off my blood sugar medicine. Dr. Smith said he wish everyone would do this and take their health more serious. My blood work has improved dramatically. My weight went from 208 to 177. Im not at my goal yet but I will be soon. You guys are the best.
