AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!
February 19, 2010
A few days ago I said I was gonna hook someone up with a FREE MONTH OF PEROSNAL TRAINING AT FIT-WERKS.
Almost 15 people applied by commenting why they thought they should be the one to win the “hook up”.
There were so many obvious winners…
Truthfully it could have been a fifteen-way tie. But since I could only pick one winner for the hook up… the pressure was on.
In fact Alex and I read through all the comments several times. And each time I came to the conclusion that there were at least 15 winners.
This was going to be a hard decision to make…
But in the end, one person’s reason for winning the Free Personal Training hook up stood out the most to us.
So without further ado, the person who won the Free Training is……
Jessica Davis!!!
Here is what Jessica wrote.
Congratulations Jessica!
B-U-T we have an awesome consulation prize for 4 of our contestants in our blog off!
Here is the Deal. We had such a hard time picking just on winner that we decided to make a crazy offer to just 4 of you. We are going to offer a Buy-one, Get-one month.
So in other words. 12 personal training sessions is normally $480 (that is $40 a session). We are going to double that. If you are one of the first 4 to email me at fitwerks@aol.com you will get 24 sessions for $480. That comes out to only $20 per session. That is Ridiculous, but how would you have liked to have been in our shoes and having to pick just one winner after reading all of those great post. So we felt that this was the only fair way to do it.(besides can you imagine how far you can come to reaching your goals with 24 personal training sessions)
I would like to thank all of you who took the time to “blog off” about this contest. I appreciate all of you for being faithfull followers of my blog.
Thanks again,
Chad & Alex
P. S. Hey Jessica just so you know you also get the consulation prize if you want it. So you would be getting 90 days (36 sessions for $480)
P. S. S. I am about to head out for the weekend for my daughters National Cheer competition. So I will be out all weekend but please email me with your info if you want one of these consulation prizes and he will talk on the phone about when to set up your consultation. So wish us luck as we go to Dallas in search of 1st place. Go Empire Elite!!
YEP, I HAVE LOST MY MIND
February 15, 2010
NOTE: This contest runs through midnight February 17th; the winner will be notified via email that next morning.
FREE PERSONAL TRAINING FOR ONE MONTH!
If you didn’t already know that I added a new trainer to my staff here at Fit-Werks, You will be glad to know after you hear what I have to tell you.
You see Alex is as excited about helping people change their lives as I am. He totally shares the same passion for it as me. However unlike me when I opened Fit-Werks I immediately had a circle of influence to find my first clients since I have always been from the area. Alex is not from around here. He is originally from Weatherford, Oklahoma. This is a big disadvantage to him, but a huge advantage to you.
See, Alex and I have been doing some talking and we decided to give one deserving person a full month of personal training(12 one on one sessions away for free. So continue reading and see what it will take for you to win these 12 sessions.
I am so ready for you guys to just kill it, realize your fitness goal, and get through to the New You.
So I’m GIVING 12 personal training sessions away. Take’em!
That’s 12 one on one training sessions with Alex.
Total Value: $480
It’s 1person and only 1 person–so we’re going to have a FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
…no? No good? Okay, fine. No fight to the death.
Instead, we’re going to do something (marginally) more interesting. We’ll have a blog-off.
In 250 words or less, I want you to tell me exactly why you need these Personal Training Sessions more than someone else. Why should Alex and I pick you to receive the 12 one on one personal training session I’m GIVING away over all the other people who reply?
That’s all.
But before you reply, two tips: first, please leave finances out of it. I get that money is tight, and I appreciate that, but I promise you that even if you aren’t the winner of this contest we will have Four consolation prizes that are very affordable for just about everyone. I am trying to help as many people reach their fitness goals as possible, but I want it to be based on desire, not finances. Please just take that into consideration.
Second: before you reply, I want you to just close your eyes and think of something powerful and emotional.
Think of your first kiss. Think of the first time you hit a home run. 
Think about when you graduated college, or passed a big exam. Think about the first time you saw whatever the coolest thing is that you ever saw. Think about the best party you were ever at, or the first time you managed to cook a whole meal without burning anything.
Think about a memory burned indelibly into your mind, something visceral and real. Something you’ll never forget.
Because THAT’S how I felt the first time I saw my abs.
THAT’S how it feels to finally realize your fitness goals. THAT’S how it feels to break through that wall that has been holding you back.
So, with that in mind. Tell me why you need mine and Alex’s help. Tell us how it will change your life–how you’ll FEEL when you get there. And most of all, make me believe that you will USE it.
I am ONLY giving away 1 month of free one on one training to just one person. I don’t want these sessions going to someone who’s not going to use them. I want an action taker who’s going to use this prize and send me the most amazing testimonial about the results their getting.
250 words or less–have at it!
This promotion is for new clients who are not already a part of one of my fitness programs. If you all ready a part of one of my programs please forward this link to your friends and family and help them start to realize their goals too.
Letter From Your Belly Fat
February 11, 2010
How’s it goin’! This is a letter from your ol’ pal, Belly Fat.
We had a great run this winter, didn’t we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol’ sitting around eating too much.
Well, I’m thinking about sticking around another year if you don’t mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here.
So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing. The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. 
Did you hear me yelling, “Help me, I’m melting!”?
Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol’ brain up there thinks it’s doing “a real fat
burning workout”, but it’s never enough to melt me outta here.
Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say strength training doesn’t burn body fat. Since research shows they’re wrong, if you added strength training to your program, you’d practically need to throw me a going away party!
After each one of those superset workouts you tried last January it felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was burning up down here!
But boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbells. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to celebrate another summer together this year.
Sometimes I wonder, what did you ever do in college without me, your trusted belly fat? Back then, you were probably one of those people that couldn’t wait to get to the beach to show off your body, unlike these days.
Nope, stay in the shade and keep the cover-up clothes on, that’s the way to go now. Besides, its a lot closer to the cold beer and the BBQ when you’re sitting in the shade avoiding all the fun down on the beach.
Well, it sure was good catching up with you. I’m sure we’ll be in touch more often, as long as you stay away from that Fit-Werks Personal Training and Fit Body Boot Camp routine.
Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it’s burned. Heck, it’s fried more fat than a short order cook at a roadside truckstop.
So again, if you want to keep your dear old belly around for another year and another summer, do NOT use Fit-Werks Personal Training and Fit Body Boot Camp - otherwise, its all over pal, and you’ll never see me again.
Belly Fat says, “Don’t use this”

Your friend and spare tire,
Belly Fat
PS – Seriously!
Don’t go near that Fit-Werks personal Training and Fit Body Boot Camp program unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway.
It will be a sad farewell, and you’d be stuck with ripped abs, gorgeous glutes, and toned arms, and you know how much attention those guys get from the opposite sex. Who needs it, I say.
Watch out for Crabs!!
February 2, 2010
Have you ever seen a bucket full of crabs? They pinch and pull as they struggle to climb over one another to reach the top of the bucket – to freedom.
Ask any fisherman and they’ll tell you that a bucket full of crabs doesn’t need a lid – they simply won’t escape.
Why? Well, it’s not impossible for a crab to climb to the top, and really if they worked together it would be quite easy. But crabs don’t work together…
Instinctively crabs pull each other down-literally.
When one crab breaks away from the pack, reaching its pinchers toward the top of the bucket, the others promptly grab onto the escapee’s leg, pulling him back down. That crab is then pushed to the bottom of the pile and his dream of freedom is crushed.
People have a way of acting just like a bucket of crabs. Have you ever decided on a personal goal only to have someone in your life talk you out of it?
Do you have crabs in your life? A crab is…
- The person who discourages you from going to the gym
- The person who scoffs when you mention your weight loss goals
- The person who snickers when you choose salad over pizza
The crab mentality says “If I can’t have it, then neither can you.” When you decide to do something different, to reach for a goal and to improve yourself, the crabs in your life will do their best to hold you back.
Keep Crabs at Bay: When crabs come snapping, remember the following:
- Ignore them: When someone in your life begins to pull you down with discouraging words, remember that you don’t have to listen. Don’t let them get into your head. Mentally tune them out or politely remove yourself from the situation. Who are they to tell you what you can or can’t achieve?
- Understand them: Ouch! Insults and put-downs hurt, especially when they come from people that we care about. So what is the deal? Why do your friends, co-workers and even your spouse turn into crabs when you decide to improve your life? Do they really hope that you don’t succeed? The truth is that crabs are thinking about themselves-not about you. They see you attempting to better yourself and to change your life. Whether they realize it or not, this scares them. If you better yourself will you still like them? Or will you leave them behind?
- You hold the power: Even the most persuasive crab doesn’t hold a candle to your iron will. When you are ready to change, and you’ve made up your mind without an inkling of doubt, then 90% of the work is done. Your mind is the most powerful tool at your disposal-don’t let a wimpy crab rob it from you.
Are you ready to make a positive change in your life? Don’t wait any longer. Join the ranks of my successful clients-schedule your first workout today.
I’m a 24 year old student nurse and every week I see a patient that is sick, and if they could have just ate a little better ,exercised a bit more, or stopped smoking, most of them could have added years onto their life. I never realized the impact that eating healthy and exercising could make on a person’s life until I started nursing school and I saw the physical and emotional toll it takes on a life. I don’t want to be that patient cooped up on a hospital bed, and some nurse is taking care of me, well before it’s my time to go. In addition to that, I have a beautiful 18 month old daughter, Isabelle, who is my world! I need to be here for her as long as I can, and I know that will not happen unless I make some changes. I also want to be able to teach her how to live healthy so she can pass it on to her children as well. So this is why I need your help! I live a busy life, and I can name off the same excuses as the next person as to why I don’t exercise enough or eat better but we both know that would be a waste of your time and mine. I need to lose about 50lbs in order to be at a healthy weight, it’s a weight I haven’t seen in many years, and would love to be reunited with it. I can only imagine the happiness and self confidence that could be gained from accomplishing this goal. So I hope that you pick me, the nursing student that is trying to make a better life for her and her family. Thank you for your time.
