Mrs John has been with us for around 9 months and she has lost around 50 pounds. She looks younger and she is a lot stronger than before. Even though she has lost so much weight, she still has fat to lose, to be more specific she has 33% body fat and she can lose another 13%.  Last time I assessed Mrs John, she said she is getting frustrated. I was surprised with her comment taking into consideration the amazing results she has delivered. So I asked her why and she answered t

When I was younger than 28 years of age, I was a mess. I had no knowledge, I was broke, I was not happy, unhealthy, and with no purpose to live.  I am ashamed to say this, but I was not good for society. I was not giving to society. Instead of that, I was taken from society. I was not fulfilled.  Then one day, I decided to turn my life around. I had to suffer a deep depression to be able to change. I wish I had been smarter than that, but the reality was that I was stubborn l

Losing weight feels like a major victory. But what happens when the pounds creep back? Many people regain weight after losing it, and the emotional toll can be worse than never losing any weight at all. You invest effort, time, and willpower, and still feel stuck.

This article uncovers why this happens and how to stop repeating the cycle. Read activ

I have been training people since 2010 and I find patterns that can tell some truth about peoples results.  We have some members who are constant with their exercise and healthy eating. Well, at least they do during the week because when the weekend comes, they eat anything they come across without thinking about the consequences affecting their body transformation results. When I assess these members, they usually don’t lose weight but they also don’t gain weight. Their resu

We know that discipline is what delivers real results. But for many of us it is difficult to be disciplined. Our parents and life did not teach us to be disciplined when we were young and now as adults we run from the pain of discipline. I don’t blame you. I learned how to be disciplined early in life. Life gave me many tasks for me to be able to survive and make it in life. However, I fail in other parts of my life such as caring about others. I learned to care about others

My days usually start at 4:30 am. I drink my lemon water, meditate and shower and I am ready for my exercise. I have been following this routine for around 8 years. Most of these days I feel energetic, but there are some days that I wake up tired. Of course, the days that I feel tired are more difficult than my normal days. Therefore, I do everything that is on my hands to improve my days when I feel tired.  Here are the 8 habits I practice to make my days more energetics: Ta

I am convinced that for you to be in shape and be healthy, you need to start with the basics. I have many members who have seen amazing results in their health, weight loss and life  in general when they follow our program at Custom Body Fitness.

How fast can I lose 20 pounds?  When I get to see results? When will I be able to have a flat stomach? These are some questions some of our members ask. Of course, it is normal for many of us to want to know when we will be meeting our goals. We start a weight loss program with the hope of meeting our goal soon and I believe there is no issue knowing when we will get to our goal. But the goal becomes a problem when we only focus on the goal. I have noticed that many people ge
