Hard Work for Husbands Return

Niki's road to leaning out was unique. After 3 kids, Craniectomy (brain surgery), Laminectomy (neck surgery), Scoliosis, and Premature Ventricular Contractions she was hesitant to start any type of exercise program. We assured her we could help and would customize a workout program to help her reach her goal.

Niki's main goal was to slim down before her husband returns from deployment. We started her off with a daily walk, weight training and the occasional WOD. As her conditioning improved and her confidence grew we increased the difficulty. Niki managed to go from a size 8 to a size 3 before her husbands return.

Niki loves flexing and showing off her new muscles and has begun to fix her diet in order to better display her hard work. Clean eating will help her take it to the next level.






6 Weeks Clean Eating and Training

 
 

This is me after 2 years of Crossfit training. I was functionally fit and fairly lean at around 12-14% bodyfat. Like most people who train for functional fitness there comes a point when you would like to look fit too. Even though I was putting up consistent sub 3 Frans and 1000# CFT's I wanted to look leaner. So I decided to change my training program and tighten up my diet. Six weeks later...



I was able to lean down to 8% bodyfat while still maintaining solid WOD times and strength gains. Clean eating with an increase of training in the oxidative pathway allowed me to have my cake and eat it too (figuratively of course). As someone who practices what they preach I have hands on experience with what it takes to achieve a lean muscular physique. We have the know how and experience to handle training and nutrition from the extremely overweight to the already fit looking for that extra leanness.


We are so confident that we will get you results that we don't require contracts of any kind. We all know contracts have no benefit to the consumer and allow the service provider to provide substandard service since they are getting their money regardless. We will work hard as your personal trainer to help you achieve your goals.





Whether your goal is to Join the Army, make it through BUDS or just look good in a bathing suit we have a training and nutrition plan for you. There isn't a one size fits all program for achieving a lean physique but there are a few common denominators: cardio & insulin control. Start your fitness program with these two tips and when you are ready to take it to the next level contact us.

Nutrition, training, and estrogen control
     28% bodyfat            18% bodyfat              

Mary was a GC Assistant in Florida before the housing market crash. When the company she worked for went under she decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy. She has spent most of her life on the water from water polo to wakeboarding so the Navy seemed like a good fit. After joining the Navy Mary was intrigued by the Navy Diver program. Before being able to try out she suffered a knee injury that required ACL surgery. Once released from limited duty she came to us to help her regain her strength and conditioning so she could try out for Diver school. She has put in the hard work raising her deadlift to 245, back squat to 155, pullups to 8 strict and 1.5 mile time of 9:10.

Even with ACL surgery we were able to come up with a nutrition and training plan to lean her out while building strength. Increasing estrogen detoxifiing foods and controlling insulin allowed us to decrease hip and love handle size. By July we will have her down to 14% BF.






Preparing for the United States Army
  Rick@ 295#, 30%BF                           19%BF              

Rick joined the Army out of high school in order to pay for college. Served his time, did a tour in Iraq, then returned home to attend college at The Ohio State University. Like many others who go off to college he gained weight. Now with an engineering degree in hand he is ready to serve his country again as an Army officer. In order to do that we have to get him within Army weight standards.

Rick carried most of his weight in the midsection which told us he ate to many bad carbohydrates. By limiting the bad carbs and increasing his protein intake we have managed to lose bodyfat while still retaining muscle and strength. Current lifting stats: Deadlift 455, Back Squat 370, Bench 300, Press 185, Ring dips 12, Consecutive pullups 10.






Beer, Protein & Training (in that order)
     17% bodyfat                    11% bodyfat              

Chris was an active kid competing in many sports as a child. He ran high school track and cross country and competed on the collegiate level for the University of North Florida. During his college years he decided to partake in the sport of beer pong. Due to his track training the beer drinking didn't make him gain weight, but once he graduated and Joined the Navy the beer gut reared its ugly head. He decided to do something about it and came to Sparta Fitness for help. After 6 months of hard training without giving up the beer drinking the gut is gone. Now for phase 2 we get rid of the beer and lean him out with the proper diet so we can see his 8 pack instead of the 4 pack currently there.






From pregnant to 12% bodyfat

Proper nutrition and training gets results. Think you can do it on your own, Maybe. Join one of those 24 hour gyms, go a couple weeks, fumble around with exercises you see in magazines and then get bored because you aren't seeing results. It doesn't have to be that way. The quickest way to achieve the body you want is to hire a personal trainer. Personal trainers at the big chain gyms are expensive but here at Sparta Fitness we provide you personal training at a cost of around $8 per session.

We will customize a workout and nutrition plan specifically made for you. Our training schedule is flexible and we can accommodate just about any schedule. The training sessions aren't classes where large groups do the same thing so you don't have to fear embarassment. You may or may not be in a small group depending on time of training session but the workout will be specific to your needs.

We take a lot of pride in ensuring the client is getting the results they want. You wont be just a time slot or body taking up space. We also don't require contracts, we are confident you will be happy with the results and return each month because you like the changes in your body, not because you are locked into a contract. At any point you feel we aren't serving you, the option to leave is there.

Not completely convinced yet then schedule a free session to get a feel for our training and coaching. We are family friendly and encourge the whole family to get invloved with fitness.
