Monday Mindset

Happy Monday! 🙌

I came across one of my favorite poems this weekend by Theodore Roosevelt entitled “Man in the Arena”. 🏟

I was inspired so I included it below as it’s a reminder of the value of effort, persistence, and passion in pursuing your dreams towards a noble cause. 💯

I trust will inspire you just as much as it has done for me…👇

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. 

But who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Let’s make it a great week! 👊

I hope you had a nice Easter Weekend. 🐣

Mine was fantastic as it was the first time I was around children in a very long time to celebrate.

My brother Barrett was also in town, who is the Director of Coaching and Profitability for our brand. We had some business meetings last week and timed it so we could visit our sister Emma and our nephew Ryder on Saturday & Sunday late afternoon.

And speaking of Ryder.. 👦🏼

The little man is 18 months old and a tank. He’s high on life, has tons of energy, and is seemingly interesting in every little thing he notices. 

And in spending some time with him, I picked up 2 lessons from him that you will get value from. 👇

1. After swimming with him, playing with him, chasing and walking with him, it occurred to me how present he is. Yes, he does believe he is the center of the universe which is a core tenant of human nature and something we should all be aware of. 

But his absolute presence is incredibly powerful as his whole universe is the 3 feet directly in front of him. That’s it. 

No other worries or competing thoughts. His entire focus wrapped up in the 3 feet directly in front of his nose. 

He’s there, completely engaged in the immediate.  Powerful. 💥

2. The 2nd lesson is his sheer persistence and willingness to get back up again and again, and again, and yet again after he falls.
   
   His unwavering relentlessness is something to note, applaud and learn from. As no matter how many times he falls, he keeps pressing forward with seemingly even more enthusiasm the next time. 

So, there you have it!

Being 1) completely present and 2) absolutely relentless in your pursuits are your 2 lessons from Ryder this week which will set you up for more success in your fitness and life.  💪

Yesterday, I just shared the news of Tatiana and I transitioning out of ownership at our first location of Yorba Linda Fit Body effective today.

This is so we can focus more consolidated energy on overseeing our Mission Viejo Fit Body location with a consolidated local team focus. And so that I can also have more time to oversee the Fit Body brand as your CEO.

This is a win for everyone. 💯

Tatiana will still be on-site in Yorba Linda through the end of April to ensure a strong transition before she transitions more support to our MV team. As we are passing the ownership torch to 2 beautifully inspiring ladies in Coach Ari and Andria Lopez who will pour the clients, team, and location for years to come

Below is my Monday Mindset sendoff message to Yorba Linda this morning and know you will get value from the takeaway as well about embracing and driving change being the only constant in life. 

PS Tatiana and I are excited to be able to spend more time with you beginning in May!

–

It was a cold, dark, and rainy morning on November 5, 2012. This is when we opened the doors of Yorba Linda Fit Body for the very first time.

I had just spent the last 2 years abroad on the little island of Florianopolis, Brazil where I met and lived with Tatiana and her family. 🏝

A few months earlier I had just returned to Orange County to lay the foundation for our little fitness/boot camp business that would eventually become Yorba Linda Fit Body.

Tatiana arrived on Halloween and just a few days prior to launch, as we sorted out her visa paperwork just in time for our Grand Opening (if you could even call it that).

We knew our country’s overall health and obesity problem was getting worse by the year which this passion was matched by the inspiration from our own physical transformations a few years prior.

So, we decided to invest our life savings in this little dream to help our community in Yorba Linda get healthy and fit. 💪

We opened that cold, dark, and rainy morning in November with four walls, some mats, and no equipment as we couldn’t afford it. The lighting was poor, and the location looked extremely different than the fully stocked facility we now call home.

We put every dollar we had into the lease and all the upfront costs that come with any business endeavor so didn’t have much financial breathing room to spend on “frills”.

I also asked my sister Emma who was living in LA at the time to join the full list of sessions to “make the sessions look fuller”.

My friends Leslie and Bo, who are still members, were there and we started the session by sharing our gratitude list.

Candidly, I was so scared to be running those first sessions.

Actually, “terrified” is the more accurate word. 😱

But at the same time, I was incredibly excited to be supporting people in their health and fitness journey, because fitness touched Tatiana and my life so deeply.

Fast forward, nearly a decade, and never would I have ever imagined the blessings that would occur from that start. The friendships, deep relationships, and the incredible community we would bring together.

What a spectacular ride and I can say honestly and humbly, Tatiana and I couldn’t have asked for nothing more. In fact, I’m in tears as I write this..

This in mind, life has its seasons and it’s now the season for these 2 new amazing, beautiful women in Andria and Ari to take over the mission of Inspiring Fitness & Changing Lives Every Day in our Yorba Linda community with their teams support, as it still continues and even stronger than ever!

Tatiana and I want to thank you deeply for your love, your support, and contribution to our little dream. In return, we hope we have provided you with immense value whether you have been with us for 9 years or days. ❤️

And rest assured, that the best is yet to come. As I am here with a reminder that change is the only constant in life which is today’s message.

Instead of running from it, we must embrace it as it’s the only thing constant in life! This concept is so important, especially in the transformation business, and why we have made “Embracing and Driving Change” a global Fit Body core value.

Rest assured, Tatiana and I are on-site to support for the next few weeks and will be excited to deliver our last training session on the mic on Saturday, April 30 as we transition out of ownership. And past that, we are excited to continue to hear of your ongoing success as you are in very good hands with Andria, Ari, and our team as we want to stay connected.

You will begin hearing from Coach Ari next week and will leave you with this quote. 👇

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” -Socrates

Love and incredible gratitude,

-Coach Bryce

I read this recently and wanted to share as it’s oh-so-true as I know you will get value!

• A Big Mac does NOT cost $3.99.  It costs your health. 🍔
• Netflix does NOT cost $17.99. It costs your time. ⏱️
• Social media does NOT cost $0. It costs your attention and focus. 📱

Remember.. ✅

There is ALWAYS a hidden cost to everything.

Be intentional and choose wisely. 

Much love and respect,

-Coach Bryce

Happy Mindset Monday! 

While COVID continues and always will like any virus, it’s clear the cases and emotions are fading which will allow more data and facts to be brought to the forefront for us to review. ✅

And for as much as the media made COVID a giant focus over the last 2 years..

One thing that I find very interesting as a fitness professional, is that there was very little discussion about the root issue of the bigger concern from a health & fitness perspective.

Aside from the elderly, the obese were by far the most affected. 😥

In fact, I just read an article stating that 78% of hospital visits and severe reactions including death from COVID were sadly from people suffering from obesity. 💯

From my fitness professional perspective, I think that was a big, missed opportunity for the media not to put major attention on the root issue especially for all the fear that was spread. 

As from a statistical perspective, more people died due to Obesity during the last 2 years, which was also at the root of most of the COVID issues so a compounded problem. 😳

So the fact remains that there is still a big health problem in our country at the root of this and other sicknesses as obesity compromises the immune systems of those affected. 💯

This is exactly why have created our world-famous Fit Body Transformation Challenges. As they focus on mindset, nutrition, coaching, community, results, and weight loss.

And since launching brand-wide in 2019, we have shed over 100,000 lbs. collectively as a brand. And 25,000 inches and 17,000 lbs. dropped alone specifically from our last Fall Challenge.

So, we are beyond excited for the momentum to continue as we begin our Spring Challenge this coming Monday, March 28!

If you didn’t see the story Yahoo News picked up earlier this year, give it a look that tells the bigger story.

If you need some mindset, nutrition, and fitness coaching with some community and fun competition, our Spring Challenge is for you.

Make it a great week!
