You probably read that and thought “That’s definitely not true”, but hear us out...
We don’t believe anybody joins the gym to just get fit. People join because of what they think being fit will do for them and how they will feel. It’s not fitness for the sake of fitness. It’s fitness for the things they believe they will be able to DO with their fitness and the way it will make them feel.
Here are some things that people think fit people can do:
1. Be happy
2. Live a long time
3. Live well while alive
4. Get sex
5. Fight off threats
6. Have confidence
7. Make a better living
8. Play with their kids
9. Look good naked
10. Stay off medications
This is not an exhaustive list, and it took 40 seconds to come up with the ten examples. The point is that no one joins for the fitness, they join for the benefits of being fit.
None of the above are guaranteed to someone who is fit, and none of them are out of the realm of possibility for someone who is not.
We realize that your fitness is MORE than just fitness. It’s about what you can do and how you feel because of it.
This begs the question, why do you work out? What are you looking for?

Are you tired of going to the gym without a plan and spending half the time looking at your phone?
At Harbor City Health & Performance, we create a custom fitness experience that meets your specific needs, in a culture of like-minded individuals who support you to reach your goals.
We believe that community based fitness is phenomenal. The social aspect of interacting with other humans trying to better themselves, the physical aspect of pushing each other and testing limits, and the emotional aspect of having FUN with fitness is rarely replicated in any other setting…not to mention a community of human beings who are more like family.
Whether you’re looking to increase your commitment and accountability, push past current plateaus, diversify your workouts, or capitalize on those endorphins, we’ve got your back!
What’s do you love most about your gym family?

However, halting your training entirely can start to bring about a decline in your power, strength, and speed after a week or more.
If you let things slide for the entire break? We’re willing to bet you’re going to be in some trouble by the time you get back to school…and not with us 😉, but with your body.

Yes, patience is a part of the strategy, spend that patience aggressively, not passively. The difference is described below...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Passive Patience: The expectation that what is needed for things to change is the passing of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aggressive Patience: The use of time to force your consistency to turn into innovation so that you can achieve what you previously couldn't.
Message us if you're looking for the change you're passively waiting for, but desperately longing for...we've got you!

What does Harbor City Health & Performance 1-on-1 programming look like?
It looks like consistently progressing strength training.
It looks like unilateral strength and joint stability.
It looks like tempo work and time under tension.
It looks like lifting light and lifting heavy.
It looks like building capacity.
It looks like stress management.
It looks like fitness.
It looks like health.
It looks like movement without pain.
It isn’t coaching. It’s professional coaching.

So many people are working out because they feel guilty if they don’t.
We hear this reasoning ALL. THE. TIME.
People training because they have negative feelings if they don’t, not because they have positive feelings when they do.
We often ask people why they train so much or at such high intensity and they are quick to say... because I will lose my fitness if I don’t....
People are so afraid of losing gains, gaining weight, or becoming less “fit”, that they feel guilty if they don’t train at a certain intensity and frequency.
