A person who has never been to the gym before or when they go to a gym. They leave feeling unsuccessful because they were really kind of felt like they were going to do this and they get to the gym and then there psyched about their goals, are psyched about New Year's resolutions. I signed up for the gym. They're starting to pay a little bit of money to do that and then they get there and they just don't know what to do, and they're just kind of like floating about in a leave and it feels like that really wasn't worth it. I think that that person would definitely be someone well-suited to work with a trainer because we create that relationship with them and their experience Jason Friedman tell me little bit about who you are what I would say that I nobody who is very passionate about training and about fitness and about the daily practice of of movement. Why would somebody want to go to having having a place to go to food, to be able to work on yourself and kind of devote yourself to getting better and doing something worthwhile. When I kinda got into training and decided that I want to pursue this a little bit more seriously as a career. You know, as opposed to just like something that I like to do as a hobby, it was because I really felt like I didn't want to spend my time sitting in it at a desk and plugging away at something that wasn't particularly important to me and I was felt like no matter what was going on in my life that if I was able to get to the gym and I felt good. I felt like I did like II had a little bit of the success that they even if things were not particularly successful in other ways you can become a professional athlete but can everybody become healthier. Yeah for the fitness aspect of people's lives. What I really try to do is meet people wherever they are and try to make fitness or gym life. I guess you could say something that feels really at home. Philly feels really relatable to them. Not overwhelming. Or, you know, scary in any way that this is not like all you know you're you're going to come and get your ass absolutely handed to you by your trainer in your trainer to be yelling at you and making you feel bad about yourself that is the complete opposite of what I think training experience is that you not think it's a it's a relationship that that a trainer and person kind of develop in terms of like what it is that they want to get out of it. And there's anything that I really put out there to folks, it's that anybody can do it and that being healthy and being said of being strong or being able to move is about the practice itself. It's not when folks come in, so often they come in with you know very kind of like rigid goals, but they haven't worked out or moved it all in like 20 years and so they have their sights set on this very like specific idea without any process in order to get them there and that can be very quickly frustrating for people because the results take time and they're very indefinite. They're not like as finite as people think like oh yes I Verizon achieved and made it there. Now I'm done when really it's just about the consistency in the frequency and the practice which is something that you continue to go back to on a regular basis you continuing to work on on your movement, and that's really as in anything. What mastery is just the continued practice of working on it getting better and I find that through. That is how to me where the most success comes from is when somebody adopts this into their life. It fully integrates to come to the gym. They do the work. They leave the feel-good and that they come back and it's a it's a very positive rewarding full circle experience. So in that regard, there is no exact recipe. It is whatever somebody makes is that as long as it's something consistent to someone or some of the things that we can do simply in our house maybe one or watching television or got five minutes in between this meeting in the next meeting. What can we do that simple in our house or in our office. That's actually a I think one of the most important things most important places to pick it up would be at the office or at home. What I would say about the industry now is that as a trainer were tending to see the same injuries again and again and essentially there, sitting injuries, their poor posture injuries and that's because people your training yourself at all times. So the things that you do the most. Your body is adapting into those positions. So if you're kinda slouching at a desk and your wrists are all kind of been to encrypt over because you're banging on the keyboard and you're peering into the into the computer screen like kind of meaning for your neck is out of position and your back is curved. That's training for your body. So then when you stand up and you try to like straighten yourself out. It hurts. It feels kind of like unnatural feels bad and so that's when you know during that time when you're sitting I would say the first thing is get up. Don't sit still for a long extended periods of time. You know half hour 45 minutes really try to limit it, limit it to that is much as you can so that when you get up you you don't have to get up and do a power packed workout every half an hour, but if you get up and stretch and you move you take a quick walk maybe do a few reps of something like 10 good push-ups. 10 good squats, you know, I really some of the more basic foundational movements. It kind of resets your entire system reset your entire posture and so then when you sit back down to work and you have a little bit of awareness in terms of how you're sitting you know, holding your chest open, holding your shoulders, back and down sitting up nice and straight having to know the proper support in your in your lumbar spine that lower back area of the feet firmly planted on the ground and just some general awareness about the where your body is know in time and space. That's also training and can help alleviate a lot of these postural problems with people having so what is publicity strengthen what blue city strength is my business to take somebody's blues away by giving them a good workout. Blue city strength comes from my father. My pop school is a bluesman. He grew up playing the blues and he still does to this day stands out. You know with with some friends who he's grown up with your Chicago is known for the blues. Can anybody workout yeah ever anybody can work out that anybody who can move can do it, or should move and I think that the term working out might create a certain impression in somebody's head like they have to do this for hour and 1/2 dripping wet of sweater things like that and it depends on the person. It depends on who you know what your experience or background is any sort of injuries metal conditions of things that the program would be then uniquely suited for them to help them step-by-step get a little bit better as far as my clientele goes, I will. I work with kids and that I work with folks who are in their 80s folks who are like really serious about going after maybe an advanced certification of some kind or advanced training. You know like marathon prep for a triathlon recently been working with a guy recovering from cancer who you know. It lost a lot of weight and lost a lot of strength and decided he wanted to get control of his life again and wanted to dedicate himself to feeling strong and being physical and so II think it it it just depends anybody could do it to you only work out of a certain Jim or can I call blue city strength for any Jim I really only workout of the gym called the space okay which is run by Annie put rid you know we really work extremely well together and we have great great training staff you know where all training independently so it's a trainer's Jim, I do exclusively work out of the space right now.
