4 X Gym Workouts for $25!!!!!!!

Close your eyes and imagine a world where you could transform your body in as little as 40 minutes per week. Now open your eyes, stop dreaming and discover the reality of XGym, where real results can be achieved in a fraction of the usual time.

A revolutionary one-on-one personal training facility, XGym has proven to give clients results comparable to 156 hours of conventional training in just 6 hours. (Yes, you read correctly.) By putting clients through a rigorous set of high intensity exercises scientifically designed to produce optimal fitness, XGym gives individuals the tools they'll need to exercise on their own, without a trainer. That means the education at XGym goes far beyond the classroom, giving results and lessons that will last a lifetime.

Still skeptical? Here's how it works: XGym uses techniques called Triple Sevens. Triple Sevens is an exercise protocol that targets different muscle fiber types and energy systems. After seven weeks of working on one protocol, the client either graduates to the next protocol or repeats the current one, depending on his or her mastery at the time of evaluation. At the end of the Triple Seven cycle, you'll be leaner, stronger, and healthier.

Mind Over Muscle

Research recently published on the affects of supervision (having a trainer present) on muscle adaptation (strength gain) showed that people who had more supervision during a workout, gained more muscle/strength than those who had less supervision (less trainer feedback) during the same workout routine.

The mind can either be your biggest ally or enemy in the gym. Having someone else present, keeping you accountable for your efforts, can help your brain give the rest of your body an extra push during a workout (therefore giving you greater gains when compared to doing a workout by yourself). When left alone, the mind and body are lazy and not nearly motivated enough to do the work that they are capable of. The psychological component of having someone else present can push you to do more instead of settling for a sub par effort because of lack of motivation and integrity.

Your trainers at the X Gym not only see the importance and safety of one on one training, but the added motivation of having someone else there pushing you, encouraging you, and motivating you (even if that motivation is to not be splintered for 5 minutes straight…) to get the most out of each workout you do.

Eat Better by Eating More Good… More Good Foods

The key to weight loss is to consume less calories than you burn, right? Well, to some extent. If one were to fast for a month, eating 200 calories per day, they would lose a lot of weight. But, a sizable portion of those pounds shed would be muscle, resulting in a less-than desirable weight loss. What to do, then? Feed your body more food, but more of what it wants!
High intensity weight training is a perfect way to increase your metabolism. Starving yourself is a perfect way to negate that metabolic increase! Conversely, to keep up that lean mass that you work so hard to gain, keep up the protein and good calories. At the X Gym, your trainers teach you how to eat the right kinds of food, and, if one heeds that advice, they can eat as much as they like. Not eating, even in the short term can lower metabolism. So eat, breakfast, eat lunch, eat dinner, and eat in-between. Just eat the right foods! Be full, be happy, and be lean!
