Hey I just wanted to let all of you know about a great new work out I did at Duffy Fitness in Irvine. It's called Quick Muscles and it is a circuit type training system that gives you great cardio work-out while you are toning and strengthening your muscles. It is scientifically proven to burn fat faster than traditional cardio alone. The trainers are real experts and keep a watchful eye on participants to make sure they are doing the exercises properly to get the most out of your workout and keep you from getting injured. You can even make an appointment to have a quick evaluation from a trainer or an in depth one to assess your current physical ability and to create a plan to help you meet your goals. The class is about an hour and is offered at their facility in Irvine Monday through Fridays and Sat. It is best to call in advance to reserve your spot or sign up on-line right through their website, and if it's your first time there, make sure you arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can get checked into the class before it starts and get a pre-class tour of the equipment. The first session is always free if you mention my name, so grab your friends and head on down to Duffy Fitness located at 17891 Sky Park Circle, Suite F & G, Irvine, CA 92614 ph (949) 281-5446.

A few of you have stopped by Duffy Fitness to check out the new Quick Muscle program that I told you about a few weeks ago. It's a system that is designed to help you add lean muscle mass for strength and calorie burning benefits, improve your balance to help keep you from getting injured and decrease your body fat to help you look and feel your best. I am still doing it on a regular basis and I am finding muscles I forgot I had. My patients are noticing big improvements as well. Here is what patient Dorty Normil had to say about her Quick Muscle Program…….

"I am seeing great results from Quick Muscles. In just a few weeks, I have more strength in my upper body and toning and definition in my legs. I thoroughly enjoy the workout especially for relieving stress after a long day of work. As a workout routine, it really gives me the best out of every muscle and I am motivated to keep coming back. I highly recommend Quick Muscles at Duffy Fitness to all of my friends and family."

About three months ago I was out of town on a job and I experienced a pain in my left leg, and towards the end of one of my last trips it hit me really bad; and I was unable to get myself home. I was thinking to myself I’m only 45 years old; am I going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life, and I was introduced to Gordon Duffy. Every day that weekend when I was bed ridden he called me and he said ‘I don’t want you to worry, we know how to fix this, we’re going to fix this for you.’ Now about a month later I am able to do everything I could do before; I can run, I can jump, I can play sports, it’s been miraculous.

Anyone who truly wants to be fit and functional should come here first because what they’re going to learn is really going to change their life and the perception of health.

Dear Fitness Manager:

I just want to let the club know how thankful I am to have Becky Garner as my trainer. She has changed the way I approach exercise, eating, strength training and everyday functioning.

I had a back injury 18 months ago.  After working through physical therapy at Sports Med they suggested that I continue my recovery with Pilates.  I worked in the Pilates studio and continued to gain strength in my core.  Through my rehabilitation process I discovered that I had been “cheating” for many years.  I had been performing many exercises  with wrong form,  contributing to my back issues - Years and years of incorrect posture, using my back instead of my abs, hamstrings instead of gluts, etc.  Pilates was good for me because it concentrated on precise form. 

When my Pilates trainer left, I was devastated.  I was introduced to Becky Garner.  Becky and I spent our first three or four sessions addressing my postural issues, getting my nerves/muscles firing and doing mat exercises to get me physically and mentally ready to go “on the floor”.  Becky’s style was different from what I had expected and very different from any of the other trainers I had ever used.  It took me about 8 sessions to really appreciate all she was doing with me.

I am now working out with exercises that I never imagined that I could perform again (due to the back injury).  My confidence has grown in the weight room and in everyday life.  I can lift heavy objects at home and I can twist and turn without alarm.  She has made my exercise help me live more functionally!

Becky will not let me set foot in the weight room without being posturally correct.  Some days we spend 20 minutes working out kinks, tight hamstrings, etc.  I now realize how important that is.  Becky concentrates on precise form and she makes sure my correct muscles are working – no more cheating for me! I cringe when I think about all of my previous training sessions and  when I see so many other people doing exercises incorrectly (even with trainers).

Becky’s methods are not “traditional” weight room trainer methods, and for that I am thankful.  I never imagined that I could do dead lifts again, or twists and pulls.  But Becky has made me stronger, more body aware and healthier.  I have no doubt that I would still be living with bubble wrap on myself if not for my experience with Becky.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for “assigning” me to her.
