We all have bad days. We all have little things that hold us back. But we should never make excuses.
Somewhere out there, someone has always got it worse than you. If you have a stressful job, that doesn't mean you can't get to the gym. We all have stressful jobs. Some people work two to three jobs just to get by. You can still find 15-30 minutes in your day to get some form of intense exercise. We also need to be more cognizant of our actions and not let the little things bog you down. If you are late for work because of traffic, that doesn't mean you have to lose your temper and start cursing at the world. Things happen...just roll with the punches. It's about getting up from the knockdowns in life. Whenever you have a bad day, just take a peek at this video:

On January 4, 2010 I was over 270 pounds and totally unhappy in fact I
was rude to the fit and skinny people.
I was looking through OUTLOOK magazine and found James McGuire. I saw the before picture and after and I contacted him that day as I knew if anyone could help me lose my weight that I so desperately wanted he could do it. James saved me that day and then again 9 months later as I was very down on myself and ready to give up on everything. I knew I could call James and he'd talk me out of eating the candy I so desperately wanted to eat. Thanks to his Guidance I am now down under 220 pounds and still losing weight. Look out world here comes a new and improved Gregg. Gregg Sweeney _ |
_On October 4th of 2010 I was 287 lbs, unhealthy, and definitely unhappy.
James opened his door to me without hesitation and began helping me
right away.
James coached, taught, and motivated me throughout my journey and I couldn't have done it without him. Today I am 196 lbs and bench press right under my old body weight. I thank James regularly for his help and dedication toward his friends and clients. I am now working on getting my ACE certification to train and help others change their lives the way James helped me change mine. I am eternally grateful. Fernando G. Bergas Coria |
TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS
_I'd like to take a moment to describe my experience about working with
James McGuire. I started training with James in March of 2011 and he's
helped me reach goals that I could have never met on my own. James has
taught me how to live a healthily lifestyle, he has trained me to be in
the best physical shape of my life, and he's helping me train for my 1st
novice figure competition in September 2011. Without James, my training
regimen would be greatly compromised.
I train with James on a weekly basis, he's proven himself to be incredibly knowledgeable in physical fitness, health and nutrition. He pushes me beyond what I ever thought I could do. I've lost nearly 14 pounds in 4 months and gain a unbelievable amount of muscle and strength. James is always professional, friendly, caring towards his clients and their overall health, he works around my physical injuries and we are still able to make great progress despite.
James is a instrumental part of my fitness regimen and training program, I plan to continue training with him through my show in September and even through 2012 despite where he might be at that time. James is always at the gym, keeps it well managed, clean and is truly the "face" of Shape Fitness. With James, I believe Shape Fitness will continue to grow and be successful.
Sincerely,
Jessica Hart

I am writing on behalf of my trainer James McGuire.
I have been training with him since Nov 2010 with the goal of competing in a Figure Competition, which I am doing this September 24th , 2011.
James encouraged me to utilize all the resources available to me at Shape Fitness. He referred me to other trainers in the gym to round out my training, as well as help with my Contest prep. He also encouraged me to talk to other gym members that have competed in the past. James has been supportive of all my goals and helped me understand the training process to make my goals happen. James has been super flexible about training times and days, working with me to make sure scheduling issues get resolved and we can train. He encourages me to do my best and gives honest feedback about my progress. I know when he gives me a compliment about my progress that I have earned it with my hard work ad that he is not just saying it, I appreciate this. I know he believes in me and my ability to achieve my goals as a figure competitor.
Sincerely,
Tammy Munro-Reyes

I want to thank you for the year that you have been training me. During this year I went from not even knowing what an Olympic Bar was to winning 2 Pro Cards. This would have never been possible if it weren't for your expertise and flexibility with my busy work schedule! I was amazed that a trainer was willing to get up at 4:30 and 5am to work with me! You always have a workout planned and ready and have made me organized with my workouts in the process. You have always showed up on time and been the up-most professional. I appreciate everything you have done for me and all the knowledge you have given to me. You have not only changed my body but my lifestyle. You have lead by example, from the first time I met you I was inspired and motivated. Your healthy lifestyle transformed my pizza, fast food, and partying ways to my current lifestyle of coolers and chicken. You have always done whatever you can to work with me at 5am, even if you had a client until 11pm the night before.
It's greatly appreciated and I always carry your business cards on me to spread your name to the world to tell them what an amazing trainer you are. You know when to push and know when to hold back. Thank you for everything!
