Our Approach

Our Approach – Motivation to Fight for Your Life
Founder Damien Woodson’s CORE Motivation System and his belief in Fighting for your Life is the core to your success.

“Self” Motivation? Yes.
No matter how many times your personal trainer calls you to check up on your progress or coaches you to do this or that, if you aren’t self-motivated, it won’t become a life-long habit.  Being motivated to fit into the size six dress or 28 waist is all good motivation, but it takes more than that to keep you going, day in and day out.

What’s the secret to CORE Motivation’s approach? We explain a bit here, but, call us for a 15-minute free consultation, we’ll let you in on the real secret to staying self-motivated!

Seriously, Fight of your Life? But, I just want six-pack abs….

Six-pack abs are nice, but that’s not the stuff that motivates long term.  If that’s ’all it took then everyone would be fit!  Fight for

•    healthy joints
•    a sharper clear mind
•    increased energy
•    a positive attitude
•    low blood pressure
•    More years with your children
•    and yes, a sexier body….

Current Level of Health – Culmination of Small Choices That Define our Lifestyle

Most of us are wise enough to know that our current level of health is a culmination of the small choices we make each day that define our lifestyle.  These small choices turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into years then . . .  well, you get the picture.

We know how we got here.  The question now is how do we get out of the world of compromised unfit living that’s taking over our lives?

Your health affects everything in your life – work, marriage and children….

How well you perform at work is based off your mental sharpness, energy level and confidence, which affects your corporate value and income.

How good a spouse you are is affected by your mood and attitude.  Sometimes you’re not as nice and giving because you’re just too tired or your back aches and the pain killers make you drowsy and on and on . . .

I’m sorry to break the bad news to you but your kids would gladly give up some of the toys you buy them for some real focused quality time with you.  Oh, but you gave the best energy you had today at work.  And you did it for them.  Touching, but they’re not buying it.

For those of us with kids, it’s important to realize that one of the qualities we’re teaching them is balance and how to take care of themselves.  They are watching more than they are listening.

Your work will be much better when you keep a healthy balance of being a good parent and a top producer. Ouch, am I pushing some buttons?

People typically get fired up to do something from inspiration or irritation but the latter is far more effective so I hope you get fed up with the choices and lifestyle that have led you here and make the needed changes NOW!

Giving it To You Straight – for Self Motivation, beyond your wedding, beach vacation or reunion…

I’m going to give it to you straight, with a little love of course, so you get motivated enough to do something positive for you and everyone around you.

This is the same conversation I have with my clients to help them put it in perspective and get it in gear.  I think we’ve been watching too much TV and standing in line at the grocery store gawking over the airbrushed cover model a little too long.  That’s not what you need to think about when you consider whether you’re going to work out today or make better nutrition choices.  What’s going to work now and tomorrow is the real stuff I mentioned above.

I’ve been training for over 15 years and I noticed something very quickly my first year of training.  If you’re at this site because you want to get ready for a wedding, beach vacation, reunion or trip, you’ll probably hit your goal because of high temporary motivation.

But sadly, after the event has passed, you’ll stop training, get into even worse shape than when you started and come back in a year or 2 to do it all again.  I’ve seen it time after time and year after year.

My most successful clients have told me they wanted to start working out because:

•     “My mom is diabetic and I know it runs in my family.  I don’t want to get sick.”
•     “I feel better about myself when I work out.”
•     “The doctor said I can control my blood pressure with diet and exercise.”
•     “I have the energy to play with my kids and help out more at home.”

No, it’s not sexy, but it keeps them consistent and living the life we all want to live.  How would you feel about yourself if you were on a regular workout schedule and made healthy eating choices?

Improve Your Body, Improve Your Life!

Don’t just GET in shape. STAY in shape.  Make healthy habits YOUR LIFESTYLE, and LIVE some of the perks the advertisers are selling you on everyday.

Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose whether not you’ll be in the fight.  Aging will happen regardless of what you do.

Are you ready to fight back?

Whether you know it or not, you’re in a fight for your life. You can either accept a beat down or fight back and WIN!

It’s your choice – excuses for a downward spiral that keeps you where you are or simple changes that lead to a happier life from a healthy lifestyle.

I hope you go for it for all the right reasons and change the quality of your future, not just your body.

So grab a towel and meet me in the corner.  It’s time for the fight of your life!
