IRON Haven Gyms

I see the CUP is closed again today on account of the solar battery fire. If you are a gym member at the CUP and want to get your workout in you are welcome to do so at the Summerside Iron Haven Gym. No charge. We train too and hate missing workouts. Simply bring your CUP fob or membership card with you and our front desk staff will get you access to our gym for the day.

Card access system at O'Leary location is down. Members text me at 902 853 6293 when at door and I'll get you in.

With September fast approaching comes fall, ending vacations, school and a return to a schedule. This is always a time when many people take a look at their activity and fitness regime and sometimes amp it up a bit.
Summer barbeques and typical summer food and beverage can put a few pounds on someone who struggles to maintain a healthy weight but its not hard to get back to where you want to be. Here are some tips to get you there fast.
Increased activity that speeds up the metabolism, the right choices in foods and consistency are three of the main factors. While any activity is good, there are some that are better that others when it comes to changing the speed at which your body burns calories. Hit the gym and get on a well put together effective resistance training program that works all the major muscles in the body. With the immense variety of equipment available today and the endless exercises a good trainer can come up with a routine that you will enjoy and that suits your current level of fitness.
When you take a look at your nutrition you don’t have to diet, but too much of the wrong types of foods with halt your progress to shedding pounds. Start off by making the common sense replacements. Replace soft drinks and sugary juices with skim milk, water and low carbohydrate protein shakes. Replace fatty meats, poultry and fish with better cuts and preparation methods. Learn the basics about proteins, carbohydrates and fats and consume more fibrous and complex carbohydrates and less simple processed ones. These changes alone are probably all it will take for most people to get results stemming from food intake.
Be consistent. You don’t have to live in the gym or watch every bit of food you consume but you do have to put forth the effort. Hit the gym three days a week. Challenge yourself and put forth the effort for and hour each time. Train progressively and stay at it. Training produces results. Ceasing to train reverses those results so train hard and enjoy the challenge. Be consistent with your nutrition. Eat clean eighty percent of the time and have the odd treat or junk day but the majority of what you eat should be taking you in the direction of your fitness goals.

ARE YOU MISSING OUT?
Been in this business for over 30 years now and am amazed at how much it is evolved and is growing. Fitness and gyms are not new but I believe we are still only scratching the surface of the tremendous opportunities that are available to stay in shape. More and more people are realizing that their life is better in every way if they look after themselves.
Being in shape increases your energy and vitality. You can do more, you DO DO more. You squeeze everything you can out of each day. Training is physical, mental and spiritual. This is seldom obvious when you first start but becomes apparent with a few years of steady training. Most will start for physical reasons. Getting stronger, leaner, faster, elevating energy levels are all great reasons to start and results come quick. With long term training the other results become obvious. The incredible feeling of well being after a hard workout. The body loves to be challenged and the challenge releases endorphins which stimulate the mind. You feel great, happy and energetic, better able to deal with life’s stresses. The satisfaction of a good workout spills into the rest of your mindset. It recharges your batteries and a mental “contentment” sets it.
Many of us spend most of our day in a sedentary workplace and need the physical outlet. Mental fatigue is just as tiring as physical fatigue and a challenging workout is an excellent way to beat it.
The percentage of the general population that is embarking on a personal fitness program is at an all time high. Was not a lot of years ago when I would see a surge of people training during the winter months, then very few during the summer. Todays gyms see a huge number of their members training year round. Many will train 4-5 days a week in the winter and 2-3 in the summer simply because they are pressed for time.
If you have never really trained, have never got it right and stuck with it for a few months I encourage you to try it and get it right. Take some training lessons, hire a trainer if need be and train long enough so you can put in an intense workout and reap the benefits. It is an investment in yourself that simply cannot be bought. You have to earn it and the payoff is immense. Don’t miss out.
