Finding the Right Fitness Platform
I’m sure you’ve been scouring the internet, YouTube, and other fitness channels trying to find the perfect platform to workout with. You have goals, or you may not have a goal, but somehow you made it here! That’s amazing! Welcome to our Fun-First Approach™! A Personal Training Portland ME women recommend will help you reach your goals with a supportive and effective program.
A Judgment-Free Fitness Space
If you have noticed in a lot of different platforms it could be a little intimidating, right? Well what makes someone intimidated? Is it skin showing or excessive tattoos or skin tight outfits which leave little to the imagination? Yes, we want to look good but like it says in Proverbs 11:22 “Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.” NIV. What you won’t see on here is scantily clad outfits of women showing off skin but a Fun-First Approach™. That becomes a snare in so many ways. I remember being in one of my highschool classes and wearing something a little showy. My teacher at the time called me by my last name and quipped, “Why do you feel the need to advertise.” I remember getting defensive and upset. So what if this lady looks like a prude. She definitely can’t handle looking good! Only later when I was older, and many breakups did I find those haunting words come back in my spirit. Work with a Personal Training Portland ME women rely on for a confidence-building, judgment-free fitness experience.
Confidence, Modesty, and Respect
What we want is class, dignity and respect for ourselves! Wouldn’t it be awesome to wear that new dress to an event, show up to work as a boss babe, and exude confidence? Show a sense of self worth and dignity. After all, true beauty is more than skin deep and we can help pull out your true beauty on the outside the way you are on the inside. Here at Vanessa Carlson Fitness we train our staff to be modest when picking out workout clothing because, as we teach them, external validation is not as important as self respect. Inner strength exuded by a modest appearance is far more powerful that a couple seconds of external validation. This in turn will enhance your confidence without being attention seeking. A Personal Training Portland ME women trust will help you build real confidence, inside and out. You will automatically be validated for the way you carry yourself. Our approach to working out is more about inner confidence than outward appearance. With the inner confidence and working towards the outward appearance, you will be way more successful.
Realistic Fitness Expectations
We don’t have to impress people who are nothing but jealous about us and our success. Most images displayed on workout websites are unrealistic and most of us and our body types, are not able to look like greek goddesses no matter how hard we try. This model equates success with how much skin is shown. The goal here is to empower a person, not “objectify” them but using a Fun-First Approach™. Through being empowered with our program, you are destined to set good examples to those around you which will inspire those to become better versions of themselves without being judged. This also is leading the future generation to grow in health and fitness, to not have to take their clothes off to get noticed. Too often fitness is seen as a “means to an end”. We “Shift” the focus to sustainable health, aging well with dignity and respect. You will feel elegant, powerful, capable, and have a lot more fun working with those who have a passion for fitness, not just working for the paycheck. This idea also is about what you can “do”. As a human our bodies are constantly breaking down. You are not the same person you were ten years ago, literally! Your cells have drastically changed from where you were ten years ago. It’s funny how your strength outwardly also can reflect your strength inwardly. Also, you have the freedom to change the version of yourself any time you want. And when you do this, you naturally attract the people you want to be around with–people who reflect your values, dedication to self-improvement, and discipline. With a Personal Training Portland ME women recommend, you’ll focus on sustainable fitness that aligns with your values.
Fitness That Aligns with Your Values
This is a space where the pursuit of health and strength won’t compromise values. Fitness with class is wisdom as it is easy to fall into the “should I wear this?-well ok…” trend where that’s what everyone else is doing… But not here! What you get here is a community of like-minded individuals, fitness that is a Fun-First Approach™, an alternative to over-sexualized fitness content, a training program that focuses on honor, and a confidence that you can’t buy using our Fun-First Approach™.
Getting Started with VC Fitness
Don’t you want to get started and learn how you too can be a part of the fastest growing fitness site online? Let’s bring back modesty and bring back purpose, strength and most of all dignity. You are here to get one percent better each day with tailored workout programs, nutrition programs, accountability and community. Let’s have fun with this and you will not regret learning about yourself. The most you could lose is a little bit of weight if this program isn’t right for you. That’s why all of our programs are month-to-month and no contract. You will be able to start and stop any time you want. You do have to do it for at least two months. That is when we see the best early on results. It didn’t take two months to get you to where you are, so it won’t take two months to get to your fitness goals most likely. That is why you need a coach using our Fun-First Approach™. Coaching is someone who keeps you accountable for who you want to be and can give you the plain and simple plan that you probably wouldn’t come up with yourself. Not because you’re not smart but because you are busy doing other things and don’t have the time to come up with this yourself. Let us feel the brunt of this for you! You don’t have to do this alone as most people fail doing this alone. Get the support and structure you need with a Personal Training Portland ME women count on for lasting success.
