Partner Power - Our Philosophy About Losing Weight

In order to lose weight you have to do 4 things. Most people focus only on one or two things, that's why they fail. Most people focus on either
1) eating right or
2) exercising more.

And those two things are the path to losing weight. But there are 2 other elements that are just as important and without implementing those two things you are destined to fail. In order to successfully lose weight and keep it off you also must have
3) a support sytem and
4) an accountability system in place.

We discovered the importance of support and accountability during the time we owned a personal training studio. Our clients were able to stay compliant with their eating and exercise programs as long as a trainer was there to support them and keep them accountable. If a client ever left, they inevitably had a difficult time staying compliant and eventually gained the weight they had struggled so desperately to lose right back.

In order to make personal training (which is typically very expensive) more accessible to everyone we developed the Partner Power Weight Loss Program. Where we teach some of the pyschological dynamics that help trainers support their clients and keep them accountable. Obviously a partner is not a fitness trainer, but they can serve some if not most of the roles a trainer serves in the areas of support and accountability.

Through this blog as well as our Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show and our website we will be trying to motivate and support anyone who is interested in losing weight.
