In This Issue: • Welcome Welcome Welcome to the next edition of “The Experience”. I pray that this finds you at a positive time of your day. This will be a quick welcome from me this time. I am just getting back in from a great vacation to Panama and getting settled back into the everyday routine. My family and I had a wonderful time and got to experience some great attractions. What made the trip exceptional for me was that I was completely out of contact with anything that wasn’t right there with me. I finally got the chance to get away and relax. Now it is time to get back to work and build this facility up to the level that I know it can be. Please enjoy the next phase of trainer question and answer and get to know more about the staff at SFX. I hope that you are enjoying these features and starting to learn more about what makes SFX what it is. As always thank you for taking the time to read my message and I hope that you found at least a bit of inspiration in what I had to say. Please take the time to look at the great information on the rest of this newsletter and remember to leave your comments on the Face Book page (The newsletter will be posted there as well). Also please go to the web site for more fitness tips, like us on Face Book, follow us on Twitter and You Tube with the buttons on the side and check-in / leave a review on Yelp. You will get some great training videos and information while seeing the workings of the SFX staff and clients. Thank you and have a blessed day. Julian A. Amedee
Getting to
Know... The Trainers of SFX
Hello SFX community. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to the exceptional group of trainers and instructors at SFX. I know that you do not have the time to meet each one personally. Actually with everyone coming in at different times there are members of the staff that you have never met. So over the next few newsletters I will be giving you some insight into the minds and make up of each of our trainers and instructors. I hope you take the time to read all of their answers and maybe find out something that you didn’t know. Thank you Julian Name: Anthony Gugliotta How many years have you been a trainer /
instructor? 15 Where was your first fitness job? In Cleveland Ohio at a wellness center right after college How did you get started in the fitness
industry? I received a degree in Exercise Physiology at Kent State University with intentions of working in a clinical setting, but when I moved to Atlanta 6 months after graduating, there weren't any jobs available. I had to start making money because I moved here with no money, no job, and a new car that I had just purchased as a graduation gift to myself. (real smart college graduate) I went to World Gym in Marietta to see what their membership rates were and I saw a sign for hiring personal trainers. The rest is history. What do you like most about the fitness
industry? I love helping people find their path in fitness. Everybody is different and It is my job to help them realize their own strengths that will lead them to reaching their goals. What do you like least about the fitness
industry? The fact that anyone can get a certification online for 49 bucks. It's not really regulated, so it's up to the consumer to weed out who's actually qualified, and who's a poser. What is your training philosophy? 1) Consistency - Do the right things 80% of
the time and you're golden 2) Intensity - Bring it or go home.
Going through the motions ain't gonna cut it! 3) Muscle and Dietary Confusion - Keep your body guessing How have you changed from when you first
started to now? I think that I have changed a lot. When I was just starting out 15 years ago I was stuck on the "do a set, rest, do another set, rest, do a 3rd set rest, traditional weight training protocol and then had my clients do 45 minutes of cardio on their own. The problem with that was most of my clients wouldn't do their cardio on their own, and the workouts weren't as fun as they could have been. Also, I only did one on one training. Now I only train group format sessions with metabolic training methods that incorporate weights with a cardio element that gets great results and is a lot more fun. Who is / was the biggest influence in you
fitness career? Why? Probably Arnold. I believe that he actually took fitness and bodybuilding to another level in this country and made it more mainstream. If you never saw "Pumping Iron" you need to go see it. It's a documentary of him training for the Olympia in the 1970's. Lou Ferrigno is his main competition and he plays mind games with him throughout. It's very interesting to see them both in their prime. What makes you unique (you) concerning
fitness? I have clients that have been with me for years say that I never given them the same workout twice. I love changing it up. What are your hobbies outside of fitness? I do love golfing, but I haven't been in a couple of years. I need to find the time for that. Anyone want to go? If you were not working in fitness what
would you want to do? Underwear model ;) Please share your family information (ie spouse, children, parents etc) I have 4 older sisters. 2 live in
Cleveland, Oh, 1 in Austin, Tx, and 1 in Dallas, Tx. My Mom is also in
Cleveland. I have 11 nieces and nephews with the oldest niece only 8
years younger than me.
Name: Monique (Moe) Adams How many years have you been a trainer / instructor? 16
Years
Where was your first fitness job? At
a gym in Alma, Michigan
How did you get started in the fitness industry? I
joined the East Cobb YMCA after having my first baby, started taking group
classes and fell in love! I was approached by one of the instructors who
suggested that I should think about becoming a fitness instructor
myself! The rest is history, ha! What do you like most about the fitness industry? Being
able to motivate every person who steps through the door…..hands down! What do you like least about the fitness industry? People
who try to make a quick buck promising an easy fix and cure all for your
personal fitness goals….”Get Ripped in 10 Minutes”….”lose those unwanted love
handles in just 3 minutes per day”….”Watch the pounds melt away when you take
this pill”…ARGH!! It takes dedicated hard work, clean eating and that is the
bottom line folks! What is your training philosophy? Making
exercise as fun and mind blowing as possible so that you don’t realize you
are working out! How have you changed from when you first started to now? I
have learned so many things over the years! From fitness friends,
workshops, nooks, videos, etc… Of course everyone starts off very “green” and
you have to get experience under your belt. I guess how I have changed
is I now realize the impact a fitness professional can have on a
client or student! It’s very valuable and powerful in a good
way! We can actually change lives out there for the better and I think
that is so cool! Never stop learning! Who is / was the biggest influence in you fitness career? Why? My
mentor, Alison Kelly! She was my very first kickboxing instructor at the
YMCA! She taught me tons, helped me get started and is still a dear
friend to this day! She is an inspiration! What makes you unique (you) concerning fitness? I
don’t know if this is unique but I really feel the energy that exudes from my
students to me and me back to them is like a magical energy ball
element! It is NOT my job to just show up, teach and leave….it is my
DUTY to show up, plug in to you and give you the best experience I can! What are your hobbies outside of fitness? Being
a mom to 2 wonderful boys, spending time with people I love, mixing music,
cooking and I love to clean toilets, ha! That last one is not true ;) If you were not working in fitness what would you want to do? Music
is my passion and outlet, so working in the music industry. Please share your family information (ie spouse, children, parents etc) I
am a single mom of my two favorite people in the world, Dillon 20 and Logan
16! They are the joys of my life!
