Gladiator of the Month!

Awarded to: Marcus Day

Q: How has Sportivo Health and Fitness inspired you to get fit?

A: I lack the discipline to work out in the gym alone. Participating in Group Power allows me to shut down and follow the instructor – All I have to do is get there and follow along. Same with Spinning – I get on the bike and go hard for 47 minutes

Q: What motivates you?

A: Good Health. I am 60, I have a resting heart beat of 62, blood pressure of 110/70 and none of the “lifestyle” illnesses that are prevalent in our society. Working out regularly allows me to maintain my fitness and health. I don’t really want to live longer but while I am on this planet I want to be able to enjoy it – being fit adds to the pleasure of living.

Q: What has been the biggest hurdle for you to overcome?

A: Before the children went off to University, I had to balance my fitness routine with theirs. At one time or another all three of my children, slept on a mat and when they reached 16  worked out with me at Sportivo. I believe that foundation has served them well. Now that they have left for school, I have no other hurdle except the traffic at Bois d’orange gap.

Q: What advice do you give others who are struggling with their goals?

A: You have to really want it! Commitment, sweat, hard work, nothing good in life is easy. Watching TV and eating chocolate is easy, being fit and health takes dedication. You can always find a reason not to come to the gym. Make fitness your most important thing in your life (unless you have Children, then it’s a tie)J)

 Fitness Goddess of the Month!

Awarded to: Farley Edward 

Fitness Goddess: ‘A female deity and advocate of health and fitness’

Q: How has Sportivo Health and Fitness inspired you to get fit?

A: Sportivo assisted me to exceed the expectations persons have of me. I plan on beating Indy at her Spin and Core…my all-time favorite classes, Martha at Power no matter what release comes out by the end of the year. But shhhh keep it a secret, when I blow their socks off I want it to be a surprise

Q: What motivates you?

A: What motivates me?…I have a lot of motivators but believe it or not, the most effective one would be my contract with the gym. I can’t spend money every month for service I am not using. I plan on rocking this contract to its end. Of course looking fantastic, feeling a bit more confident; a boost of self-esteem and keeping fit comes as a great bonus with the package.

Q: What has been the biggest hurdle for you to overcome?

A:  My biggest hurdle would be to remain disciplined whether it is with eating habits, sleep patterns and even attendance at the gym but I am determined not to let those factors deter me from my goal.

Q: What advice do you give others who are struggling with their goals?

A:  Have a great support team! Whether they are your coworkers calling you out when you eat white bread or drink sodas; your family reminding you not to eat after 7 at night, or an online support team you can confide in. Because at the end of the day they are the ones responsible to bust your chops when you are a bit lackadaisical, when you need to vent, and of course the best place to gloat about your achievements, in turn becoming the best motivation for someone else.

Q: How has Sportivo Health and Fitness inspired you to get fit?

A: The variety and quality of classes at Sportivo as well as the location makes it interesting and convenient to attend classes. I prefer the classes in the gym because the workout is all planned out for you and usually choreographed to good music that allows me to enjoy my classes.

Q: How does exercise help you manage your stress and remain positive?:

A:  I have found exercise excellent at helping to relieve stress. I am usually so busy trying to get through the workout that I don’t have time to think about anything else.

Q: What motivates you?

A:  I am motivated by the smallest change or result. If I think I am making a difference then I am motivated to keep going.

Q: What has been the biggest hurdle for you to overcome?

A:  Balancing work, gym time, family time and sleep is my biggest challenge. Work always seems to win and sleep loses. When I am tired I eat more which defeats all my efforts at the gym. I always have to make a concerted effort to ensure that I keep my life balanced.

Q: What advice do you give others who are struggling with their goals?

A:  Achieving your goals takes discipline. Write your goals down, plan how you intend to achieve your goals, then take it one day at a time. Write your goals down, plan how you intend to achieve them as life and keep focussed on your goals.

Q: How has Sportivo Health and Fitness inspired you to get fit?

A: The challenges set in the various exercise programs at Sportivo such as group core, group power (my favourite) and spin (my second favourite) has been a great source of inspiration to me.

Q: What has changed about your body and mindset since you have been training at Sportivo?

A: Body wise, I am seeing muscles cut on my biceps, calves, back and shoulders. I can see my ribs! Regarding my mind set, I eat a lot less than before, I count my calories using the app that Marie introduced me to ‘My Fitness Pal’ which is great to have when monitoring your goals. I also do Intermittent Fast (‘IF’) which also works wonders for me. Thanks Marie!

Q: What motivates you?

A: What motivates me is the thought of being transformed physically… looking good from all angles….

Q: What has been the biggest hurdle for you to overcome?

A: That’s a tough one…. but I’d say the biggest hurdle I’ve faced has to be sacrificing what I use to do before to do what I’m doing now…

Q: What advice do you give others who are struggling with their goals?

A: My advice to others…. stop procrastinating … get up and go… the goals you want are not instant noodles (ramen)… you have to work hard.. eat right..stay motivated by all good means… COME TO SPORTIVO they’ll take care of you as they have with me.. May God bless..
