While we’ve been serving all of our clients online during this time, Josh and I have been in the facility doing some renovations and touch ups to make it extra clean upon our return on June 1st.

I’m proud to say that even after a lot of hammer swinging, I only hit my thumb with the hammer once.

However, it got me thinking about a saying we use as a team quite a bit.

Nail the basics.

For us, that means three things:

Great coaching at every single interaction.
Hold every client accountable to their goals and attendance
Continue to make sure everyone feels a part of the community as to not lose the “family-like” feel.

That’s it.

Nail the basics.

Because, you see, what happens, if you start to throw in too many moving pieces, too many new changes, too many shiny objects, it distracts you from the basics, and they start to fall.

I tell you all of this because it’s a good lesson for your life in general, especially fitness, now more than ever before.

Sometimes we take on too much, we try to do everything at once, and as a result, we see the main thing suffer.

You see that in relationships.

You see that in families.

You see that in work.

And you certainly see that in your health.

So, what are the basics of your health?

It could be three things like:

Getting 10 workouts in per month
Journaling your food at least 80% of the month
Sleep at least 200 hours per month

It can be fun to add a shiny object in the moment and talk about all the fancy things like cool new exercises, fancy diets to follow, or whatever the latest and greatest trend is today on social media, but the truth is, the basics work.

I don’t know a single client who shows up on our frequent sweaters board (10 sessions in the month) every single month, that doesn’t get results.

Nail the basics.

That’s our theme, maybe it can be yours too.

1% Better.

Dedicated to Your Success,

Doug Spurling
