  • The importance of plyometric training in athletes

    The importance of plyometric training in athletes

    When we talk about plyometrics most of us think about a box jump because it’s known as jump training, but it’s so much more! There are lower AND upper body plyometrics that will cross over into your sports performance and it’s important to cover both when training. Prescribing plyometric drills to athletes, isn’t just about throwing random drills that make you tired. Each sport and position has its own unique requirements. Lower body plyometrics are a must for virtually any athlete in any sport. Some examples would be track and field throwing and sprinting, soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, baseball, and even endurance sports such as distance running and ....

  • Does The Length of Your Workout Really Matter?

    Does The Length of Your Workout Really Matter?

    Are you spending hours in the gym for very little gain? Not getting the results you expected after pounding it out on the treadmill? You’re not alone. Many people believe that they have to spend huge amounts of time working out to get maximum results. After all, we’re often told that if something is good for us that a lot more of it will be even better. But that’s not always the case. How many times do you read or hear the words “epic workout” when you scroll through your social media feeds? How many times do you see people boasting about how long their run was or how many extra reps they did? But the truth is, in many cases, that just because a ....

  • 7 Science-Backed Reasons to Eat More Protein

    7 Science-Backed Reasons to Eat More Protein

    Found throughout the body, protein is an essential building block for bones, muscles, skin and practically every body part. It’s found in a huge range of foods and can be supplemented easily and safely alongside a balanced diet with powders, shakes, bars and other products. That said, most people fail to take in enough protein every day. So, how much is enough? Well, the recommended daily allowance of protein is 46 grams per day for women over the age of 19, and 56 grams for men over 19 years of age. Put another way, you should eat 8g of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight. This is a good rule of thumb if you are strength training and you may need to take on more depending ....

7 months!  That’s how long I had to get ready for my wedding on June 4, 2021.  I knew I wanted to look my best for the wedding, but what I was doing on my own was not getting me the results I wanted/needed.

I grew up in Oceanport and drove by Our Team Fitness one day on my way to work.  I reached out to them on their website and set up a one-on-one appointment.  During that appointment we talked about my wedding, the goals I had, and how Jon and his team were going to help get me there.

Within two weeks I immediately felt stronger, I realized my stamina had also increased and I was able to maintain my intensity longer during the workouts.  The coaches really challenged me and progressed me through every single workout as I continued to get stronger so the workouts never got easy! This is something that I love about Our Team Fitness because I never thought I could lift some of the weights or do some of the things I’m doing now and I never would have even tried if the coaches hadn’t challenged me!

In the past, working out in groups would intimidate me but I have never felt that way at Our Team Fitness.  The staff really helped me understand that your workout is about you and your goals, and everyone is just trying to do their best at the same time.  It truly is a judgement-free place! Our Team Fitness has become a place I look forward to coming to in the morning 4-5 times a week.  It sets me up to have a great rest of my day because I leave feeling accomplished and ready to take on the day.

When I started my dress fitting in September, I was in-between sizes and I needed to decide on whether to size up or to size down. Nervously, I decided to size down.  Fast forward to January and my dress was HUGE on me!  We had to cut inches…inches off!! Every fitting thereafter, we had to continue to make smaller alterations to tighten the dress.  It was mind blowing to see the changes in my body.  The inches I lost leading up to the wedding was incredible!

I cannot recommend Our Team Fitness enough.  The extra attention and individualization in the Personal Training sessions has been key for me.  The staff, along with its members have kept me motivated and helped hold me accountable and keep me going.

When I got into my 50’s I lost the desire for a regular exercise routine like I had in my younger years.  Other obligations in my life like family and work overshadowed exercise and it just wasn’t as much of a priority anymore.

After getting an evaluation from the Our Team Staff, it really opened my eyes to where I had let myself get to.  At 20lbs over my optimal weight, I had lost muscle and gained fat!  Not the direction I wanted to be headed.  Jon (the owner) and I mapped out a plan that I knew I could commit to and the rest is history.  I joined Our Team Fitness in December of 2019 and since then I am down 15 lbs, 7% body fat, and have put 4 lbs of muscle on.  I have more energy, less stress, and it’s helped me stay sane during the pandemic.

Staying consistent has been the key to the results I’ve been able to achieve and Our Team Fitness has really made this easy for me.  I personally love coming here.  The coaches are professional and personable.  You can tell they are there to do more than JUST give you a workout.  They refer to their members as family and it really does feel like that.  It’s amazing how when you’re working out with everyone, regardless of what exercise you’re doing you feel like everyone is in it together and pulling for each other’s success.

I look forward to seeing what I can accomplish over the next year!

I’ve been a member for about 5 months now.  Before I joined Our Team Fitness working out regularly was not one of my priorities and I couldn’t see myself attending a gym.  I had absolutely no interest in doing so, and while I recognized that I needed to make a change to improve my health and loose weight, it wasn’t until my wife gave me the extra push I needed to come and give a gym a try.

Our Team Fitness has helped me lose 20 lbs already! It wasn’t easy, and my biggest obstacle was sticking with my schedule.  I usually take classes before 6am, but I needed to make a change and this has been a HUGE positive one in my life. The awesome environment, members, and the help you receive from the coaches on each exercise will help you get the best results from each session.  You will sweat, but you’ll see results!  You’ll love it!
