Why Was Carter Fitness Personal Training Voted #1 in Calabasas?

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Yup, it official. Carter Fitness was recently voted the #1 Fitness & Fat Loss program in the Valley! Yessir, I am beaming like a proud papa! Calabasas Personal Training has never looked so good!

Why were we voted #1 you might ask? It is simple: RESULTS!

No other fitness facility around can complete with our track record. No one else even comes close.

Not 24 Hour Fitness, not Spectrum, not Curves and certainly not any other Personal Training in Calabasas or West Hills or Boot Camp anywhere NEAR us.

End of the Road

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Life is funny thing. It is full of ups and downs, in and outs. And when you least expect it, you get a smack in the face- a wake up call.

Two days ago I got my smack: An epiphany if you will.

So here it is…

I have been lifting for over twenty years. And for the most part they have been good to me, but it is time for a change. And that is why this is a decision I do not take lightly.

Cardio Wins the Race

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

I am a big enough man (literally and figuratively) to say when I have been proven wrong.

As most of you know I am was not a huge fan of steady state cardio for fat loss. I had always preferred using shorter intense bouts of training.

Well in the April issue of the The Stanford Journal of Metabolism there was a massive study (almost 4000 participants) comparing the fat loss effects from both steady state cardio and resistance training.

Keep going….

Journey: Part 1

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

* What’s With The Hulk: When I travel without my kids, I always take them with me the best way I can. On my recent series of trips I brought a small action figure of The Incredible Hulk along for the ride. I take pictures of the green guy wherever I go, and then share them with the kids upon my return.

Just For You: An Ethical Bribe

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Bribery has such a negative connotation. Maybe because it is a tactic usually reserved for crooks and politicians.

But let’s face it bribery is part if what made America great. Most politicians would be jobless without bribery, and we certainly do not want to add anything to America’s current unemployment rate. Without bribery many otherwise law abiding "businessmen" would have to deal with time consuming and annoying legal entanglements which could take time from their olive oil business.

Now is the time for you take full advantage of what Carter Fitness has to offer.

I’m looking for human billboard… 25 17 more of them to be exact. So, what is a human billboard and why would I need one?

I’ll get to that, but let me back up for a second.

I am excited to say I have put the finishing touches on my brand new “Twice the Results” or 2XR program and it is now ready for prime time. That’s right, I can now release it to the public and that means you.

She Lost Her Children and I Helped

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Nice title huh? Actually, that was Catherine’s idea. It sounds kinda creepy, but I assure you it’s not and it will be more clear in a moment. First let me tell you about Catherine.

Catherine is one of my online personal training clients. I have, over the years, had online training clients that have done very well, but every once in a while there is a superstar. A person who not only asks for my help, but follows my plan almost to the letter. Yeah, kinda teachers pet.

Before and “During”
43 pounds down, and still the fat is falling off
