Sometimes we wake up not feeling 100%. We wonder whether or not we should even do our workout.
In case you need a bit of motivation, even if you won’t be able to push yourself to the max, showing up and doing a little, still goes a long way.
Consistency pays off in the end and you'll be surprised at what a difference it makes!

We don’t recommend for you to exercise before or after you come in for your workout at Pure Strength.
We would like you to feel fresh, so that you will be able to push yourself intensely. By resting properly you will notice more progress with us over time! Too much exercise during the week can make you feel drained and tired even before you come to workout with us. This can hold you back from getting the results you want from your workouts.

Did you know?
One pound of fat and one pound of muscle weigh the same; however, their size and shape vary considerably.
Muscle tissue is smaller and takes up less space than fat. Having more muscle will give you a leaner appearance along with a toned physique.
We’ve got the know how to help you change your physique into more of what you want! Send us a message to chat.

At Pure Strength, it is not about the amount of repetitions performed. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements with proper form. By doing this you will actually fatigue your muscles which will give you greater benefit from your workouts and protect your joints and ligaments from unnecessary strain.

One of our specialties is helping people to build muscle. Building muscle is the most efficient way to burn fat. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn while doing nothing.
Just remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so when looking at the scale don’t focus too much on those numbers. Measure your results by how you feel and how your clothes fit!

The popular saying, “No pain, no gain” can be very misleading to many individuals who are not familiar with exercise. When you feel a sharp pain at any moment throughout the exercise, do not try to push through it. Make sure you communicate with your instructor to stop the exercise to avoid injuring yourself.
Pushing through pain only sets you back from reaching your goals.
Feeling a slight discomfort from how challenging the exercise is, is completely normal and should end once the exercise stops.

At Pure Strength, the goal is muscle failure! When you get to the point where you can no longer move the weight, challenge yourself to keep trying for another 10 seconds.
At this point of muscle fatigue, it's the effort that will make a big difference. Keep pushing while maintaining good form- watch and see what happens!

Want to get more out of your workouts? Try moving very slowly on the first inch of every repetition.
It's so easy to speed up and force the weight out and skip this part- especially when it's getting harder. But try going even a little slower and you will see how your heart rate increases.
Remember, when your heart rate increases, you know you are stimulating your body to produce all of the benefits you came to us for. This is what you want!

Don’t rush! When you expect results in a short amount of time you will probably be discouraged and end up going back to the habits you have been wanting to fix.
Start out by making small changes to your diet or physical activity that are achievable and sustainable. You will find yourself maintaining a better routine that enhances your health for the long run! What small changes can you start working on today?

A great example of why it's key to build strength is to prepare for an upcoming surgery.
Having muscle to support your body helps you recover from surgery much easier and quicker.
Kee has been with us since 2016, and her story is one of the many reasons why we do what we do!
We'd love to help create a story for you, just like we did Kee!

Here at Pure Strength we like to address the whole body from the inside out.
One of the ways that we do that is with our awesome PEMF Therapy machine.

A common misconception that people have is that you’ll be able to lose fat in a specific body part by exercising it repeatedly.
What really happens is that the muscle you are exercising becomes stronger underneath the fat.
To lose fat, the best option is to include a healthy diet along with strength training that will produce a stimulus for muscle growth. At Pure Strength we know how to alter your muscle mass and create the fat burning process effectively and efficiently. Send us a message!
