The Problem with Fitness is Nutrition. How can you avoid do-it-all charlatans that try to take advantage of your vulnerability? Here's how you, Personal Trainers (and Dietitians) can do better:

@bomani_jones I can’t wait to see how the media scrambles to cover OJ 😂

I always want to help people learn about fitness and strength training. What questions can I answer for you? Ask me anything 💃

We both tried our best, but it just didn't work out. I ended up issuing the woman a refund for her remaining sessions. It taught me a valuable lesson, leave the diet talk to dietitians.

Not all meniscus tears need surgery. We worked around her injury. She got significantly stronger, especially at RDLs. She even got to the point where she felt great and that she could avoid surgery. My mistake was thinking that I could help her with fitness AND nutrition.

Everyone makes mistakes—let's talk about a time when I made a big one. Early in my personal training career, I met a client with a complex situation. Pregnant, with knee pain and doctor-imposed weight goals, she needed a lot of help. I was confident I could make moves.

@AmandaMGoetz @hipstermeyer There isn't an actual accurate one. The gold standard is the four compartment model or 4C and it's still a guess. There also isn't a normative percentage for populations. Most importantly, it wouldn't matter what the number was if you didn't feel comfy.

@hipstermeyer Use the thing at my gym but want to figure out something more accurate.

I create a vision board at the beginning of every year to give clear direction for my life. This was the board I created in January 2023 and hung in front of me every day. In January 2023 I was single and starting a VP of marketing position. My goals for 2023: - Hit 100k on Twitter - Travel to 4 countries - Get a book deal - Fall in love - Take control of my money - hit 19% body fat What I achieved: - 108k followers - Traveled to Bahamas, London, Italy, Canada & Mexico - Signed with a book agent, wrote a proposal - Found my person - Left corporate America and will 2x my salary in 2024 - gained 6 lbs of muscle If you don't have a vision for your life, how will you ever know if you are on track?

Might buy myself a few presents for Christmas: 1. @DarnTough (Socks) - I love these and people compliment my socks now? 2. Xero Shoes - My feet have never felt better. 3. Sweats - Annie (my girlfriend) keeps getting on me for having holes in my clothes 🙄 Is this adulthood?

@wisemannerisms 😂 so old

@Stevenhmack damn, you old AF!!!

I have some pretty big goals for December. I'm turning 32 in January and will have been in business for 9 years come February. I want to add 15 more clients to the studio by March. The more our community grows, the more fun I see clients, trainers, and myself having.

I want to finish the @GirlsGoneSTRONG Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification. I started on it last year but put it down when I was taking Physics 1 and 2. I can never learn enough about women's health and strength training.

I want to get back into public speaking in the community on fitness. There's a lot of misinformation out there and nothing replaces the 1:1 conversations I've had before and after presentations. If you're looking for a presenter, I'm almost always game!

My life will look so different next year! I've got some exciting news to share later that some people already know. I've been taking a few classes since 2019. I'm super excited about all the hustling in store in the next few years! What else would you like to know?

Certainly not last or least - I have the most supportive girlfriend that I could've ever asked for. If you know me, this is the most important thing to me on this list.

I've got so many new things going on in my life so I figured I’d (re)introduce myself. Hi, I'm Steven Mack. I own a local personal training studio in Columbia, Simple Solutions Fitness. I started from the trunk of my car in 2015.
