October 2020 Client Spotlight: Heather Williams

We are genuinely excited to introduce October’s spotlight, Heather!

She joined our No Limits’ family almost a year ago and has gotten super strong.  She lifts heavier than most guys which we think is awesome!

Like many, fear of being judged almost stopped her from joining. She soon realized that we are one big family. 

Keep lifting like a beast, Heather!  We know you’ll reach your 300lb deadlift goal!

Q: What is your favorite inspirational quote?

A: “A man’s legs should be tall enough to reach the ground”
-Abraham Lincoln

Q: What are your personal health and fitness goals?

A: I want to lower my overall body fat percentage, and deadlift 300 pounds!


Q: What ONE thing keeps you most focused and motivated to continue to work hard to reach your goals?

A: My husband – we have a lot of goals together and I want to be in my best shape possible to make those happen.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started with us?

A: I used to always be a fit person, then college happened and I didn’t know what or how to feed myself.  Pair that with stress and newfound freedom and I had issues… not just weight gain but some health issues my doctor was worried about too. I tried to fad diet off and on, with no success.  The situation was getting worse and worse, but I missed working out so I joined No Limits in November 2019 to help achieve of my goal of becoming healthier.

Q: How has No Limits Fitness made a difference in your life?

A: It is going to sound corny – but I think it’s helped everywhere.  I am generally less stressed and I don’t “make a mountain out of a mole hill” that often anymore.  Once you have survived a few Saturday morning workouts, then nothing can stop you!  Plus, it’s nice to have some “me time” pre-scheduled into my life.

Q: What kinds of milestones have you accomplished and what specific results have you achieved so far?

A: My relationship with food has changed a lot lately.  After doing a challenge where we tracked our macros, I realized I basically had to re-learn food.  I had to stop looking at it as the enemy and instead as fuel.  I have a long way to go with this, but until that challenge, I was pretty pig-headed.  I am also happy that I have gained almost 5 pounds in muscle mass!

Q: What made you decide to join No Limits Fitness?

A: It was time for a radical change and I knew working out was going to be the start of that.  After coming in and meeting the team and having some candid conversations with them, I decided it was worth a shot.  I had briefly tried other gyms and failed because there was no accountability. No Limits automatically feels different and more productive from the get-go.

Q: What was the obstacle that almost prevented you from joining?

A: Fear. I looked at this gym for more than 8 months before deciding to walk in the door.  I even drove through the parking lot a few times to get the nerve to walk in.  I was worried that there would be judgement, or they wouldn’t be able to help someone “as bad as I was.”  I was WRONG!

I was in a rough place mentally and if I were kinder and more lenient with myself about the situation, I could’ve had this community to lean on much sooner.

Q: What has exceeded your expectations since joining?

A: I was shocked and happy to realize I look forward to the gym these days. I, admittedly, did not want to come in for the first month or so, but my body has gotten used to it and now I crave this time to be with myself.

I also enjoy checking in with my gym friends on how their goals are going. I didn’t ever think I would have “gym friends!”

Q: What would you say to someone on the fence about making a change & committing to their goals?

A: You can do it! I know it seems like it’s impossible, but it’s not!  It’s never too late to be kind to both your body and your mind.

Q: What is your “word” for this year?

A: Purpose

We are so proud of you, Heather! Keep up the amazing work.

The Single Biggest Predictor of Success With Your Fitness

By Juan Perez • 03 May, 2024
Every year millions of people make the resolution to improve their fitness. It’s not exactly a secret that the majority of these good intentions will quickly turn into empty promises. When you first get started, your excitement and energy are high and it’s easy to feel like you’re in control and that your will power alone will help you through the difficult days ahead. The reality is that you’ll probably have more days when you don’t “feel” like training. This is the reason we preach Standards Over Feelings because we understand how fundamental this is for human behavior. There have been several studies on human behavior that have helped identify the single biggest predictor of success when it comes to long-term consistency with your fitness. It’s not keeping a gym bag ready and with you at all times…although this helps. Setting your gym clothes out the night before is a great idea…but it’s still not the determining factor. Surprisingly it’s not even having an accountability partner. Schedule in advance when and where you’ll do your training. Everything else is simply in support of this habit. Being accountable to someone you don’t want to disappoint is incredibly helpful, but if you haven’t taken that first step, accountability falls short. Having been that accountability piece for hundreds of people, I’ve been ignored and ghosted more times than I can count. Even my sister stopped responding to text messages and phone calls at one point. (I called our mother but apparently you can’t put an adult on restriction). Scheduling in advance WHEN and WHERE you’ll workout is the single most important step to developing consistency with your fitness. This helps you develop integrity with yourself…if you say you’ll do something, that thing gets done. Period. Show up like a boss and bosses don’t cancel. Your training is time on your calendar dedicated to getting better. The workouts on your calendar become non-negotiable. You don’t wake up and see how you “feel” because you already know there will be days you don’t “feel” like it. In advance, you schedule your training where it best fits into your life with your responsibilities. Once you’ve planned your work, you show up and work the plan. If you fail to plan the work, you’re significantly increasing the likelihood of failure. Ask someone that has been remarkably consistent with their fitness if they know when and where they’ll workout.  This has already been decided. Their feelings aren’t involved in the process. If you truly want to be consistent with your fitness, this habit is a must: Schedule in advance when and where you’ll workout.

Crunch-Free Zone: 5 Exercises For Stronger Abs

By Will Matthiessen • 19 Apr, 2024
Crunches.  The go-to core exercise for a lot of gym goers. Yet, it’s one of the worst ab exercises you can do. Shocking, I know. You’re probably wondering why it’s one of the worst. Crunches put force on your spine and oftentimes strain on your neck. They force your spine into flexion, which is generally what people are told not to do in order to protect their back. Aside from the pressure it puts on your spine, crunches don’t activate your core muscles to the extent that a lot of other dynamic core exercises do. If your goal is to have sculpted abs like a lifeguard on Baywatch, crunches are not your solution. Aside from the aesthetic aspect, a strong core is important for your body’s balance and stability, posture, and reduction of back pain and other injuries. If you want to develop a rock hard core, here is a list of exercises better than the old fashioned crunches that you can start incorporating into your workouts: The Hard Style Plank Put your forearms on the ground and your arms set shoulder width apart. Your arms should be parallel to your body. Once you’re up in the plank, imagine squeezing your elbows to your knees and your knees to your elbows. Don’t be surprised if you start shaking like a leaf as soon as you create that tension. Dead Bugs Lie on your back with your arms straight up and your hands above your shoulders. Bend your legs at a 90-degree angle with your toes facing up at the ceiling. Imagine pushing your belly button into the ground and keeping your body tight enough to where if someone was pulling on your limbs, you’d be able to resist it. Next extend your right arm and left leg at the same time, without touching the ground. Keep pushing your belly button into the ground to avoid arching your back. The right leg that is still bent should stay completely still while the other leg is in motion. Bring your arm and leg back into the start position and then switch sides. When it comes to Dead Bugs, one of our favorite sayings applies: “Slowly is holy. Faster is disaster.” If you want to increase the intensity, add a kettlebell to the stationary arm. If you want to significantly increase the intensity, press the kettlebell once you’ve reached the fully extended position. Reverse Crunches Lie down flat with your back on the floor and your legs straight down, toes pointed up. Press your lower back into the floor and pull in your belly button as you lift your legs together up off the floor. Push your heels through the ceiling at the top and slowly lower them back to the ground. Fun, right? Double Kettlebell March Hold two heavy kettlebells in the racked position. Pull your belly button to your knees and your knees to your belly button to find max tension in your core. Once you feel that tension, slowly lift one knee up 90 degrees and then switch legs. Hollow Rocks I’ve saved the worst (I mean best) for last. Lay down on the ground with your legs a little bit off of the ground as well as your shoulder blades and head. With arms extended over your head, rock back and forth like a banana rocking back and forth on a counter. Or a see-saw…take your pick. Alright, now that I’ve given you the secret sauce to getting rock hard abs, it’s time to get to work people!

How To Lose Weight Without Counting Calories

By Juan Perez • 05 Apr, 2024
One of the first recommendations you’ll hear for someone wanting to lose weight is to begin by counting calories. Although weighing your food and counting calories does work for some people, the reality is that this approach to weight loss has an astonishingly high failure rate. If this strategy is “based in science”, why does it fail more than 95% of the time? The Top 3 Issues With Counting Calories The number of calories in the foods you eat are estimates. This is where the concept of counting calories being “based in science” can be misleading. The FDA allows companies to use 5 different formulas to estimate calories and a standard deviation up to 20% is acceptable. This means that something listed as 150 calories exists on a range between 120 calories and 180 calories. How ripe is your banana? The ripeness affects caloric availability. The second issue is that as individuals we each absorb a different amount of the calories from the food we consume. Thirdly, Americans are notoriously bad at determining healthy portion sizes. Our super-sized culture has heavily influenced our concept of a normal sized portion. The good news is that there is another way to lose weight without counting calories. The Three Pillars of Nutrition Whether or not you’re a card-carrying member of Camp Calorie Counters, the foundation of your nutrition is built upon three pillars: Food Quality, Food Quantity and Food Timing. Food Quality All calories are not created equal. The popular 100 calorie snack bags do not offer the same nutritional value as 100 calories from fruits or vegetables. When the majority of your meals are composed of minimally processed single ingredient whole foods (lean protein, fruits and vegetables), you’re more likely to get the micronutrients your body needs to thrive. Food Quantity As mentioned earlier, Americans aren’t known for our skills at eyeballing healthy portion sizes. Although using a food scale to determine portion sizes can be helpful, it isn’t always practical. This is the reason we recommend learning to use your hand as a guide to determine portion sizes. You can’t take a food scale with you everywhere you go but you’re always allowed to bring your hands!
