Truman Griffin Fitness

Started in the park now we here 💪

Four years ago Margaret Ann Ryman and I had our first workout in piedmont park. Gyms were closed and we trained there for almost a year. We’ve done zoom and in a gym since then. She’s worked really hard and she’s a ton of fun to be around. One thing I’m really thankful for as a trainer is the chance to get to know people and to help them feel good about themselves. Maggie, you are the 💣 and so is 🐶

In January, I’ll be going into my 4th year of being a full time trainer. With regards to exercise, I’ve learned a lot about what motivates people, and what doesn’t motivate people. A trainer is a great resource to make your fitness journey more efficient, and more fun.

Five reasons to hire a trainer

1.) New to working out: If you’ve never exercised before, hiring a trainer is one of the best things you can do to make sure your time in the gym is maximized. They will help you execute exercises safely, and they’ll help you get familiar with being in a gym.

2.) Accountability: If you make an appointment, then pay someone for that appointment, you are more likely to show up. A trainer is a resource to help hold you accountable for showing up for yourself.

3.) One on one coaching: A one on one training sessions ensures you are the priority for that hour. All attention is focused on you and your goals.

4.) Tailored motivation: When you work with a trainer, you build a rapport with that person. They learn more about what motivates you and what doesn’t motivate you. We all have different ways we are motivated, and a trainer will find the best way to push you without being demanding.

5.) A program for YOU: A trainer will build a workout routine designed for YOUR goals. Through assessing and getting to know how your body moves, they will select exercises to help you achieve results safely. If you absolutely hate an exercise, they’ll work to help find a substitution that will get a similar result. They’ll also do their best to craft the workout so every minute of the session is efficient. Sets, reps, rest periods, exercise selection - it’s all selected for your body, and your goals.

Another great workout with my client and friend

For the past 3 years he’s trained with me twice a week for an hour, give or take a vacation here and there. We do full body strength training and try to push the weights up when we can. He’s knocking out pull-ups, dumbbell bench presses with 60 lbs, and he crushes the ab wheel like a beast. He also tries to get in an extra workout in on his own, watches his alcohol intake, and eats plenty of protein. He has built fitness into his lifestyle and the results are there. When you are consistent, progress will come. I don’t care what anyone says, but there are no quick fixes. Changing your body composition takes time and you have to put in the work.

I haven't been the best about posting on here but I plan to make more of an effort in 2023.

I've completed my Continuing Education Credits through the American Council on Exercise - ACE with the Behavior Specialist Change program and I have also renewed my CPR certification. This is a really exciting year for my business. I have had access to a great gym for the past 3 years. Midway through this year I will be renting a space or training clients out of my home gym, which I am excited to design and build!

A very exciting week

This month marks 3 years of training with
He has been supportive of my business since day 1. He’s referred me to several great clients and he’s always been so kind to promote me. He shows up for his workout no matter how he’s feeling. And he holds the world record for shortest shorts worn during a workout, so I have to applaud him

The second photo is me heading into the weekend. I had 8 clients a day, Monday through Friday this week. I’m thankful to be busy and to be able to spend my days with people who work really hard and are a lot of fun to be around. I went through a hard time recently where I was considering quitting personal training and doing something else. But I realized there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing. Until I make it on Broadway, I am here for the hard days and the good days too.

Now it’s time for pull-ups and 6 chicken breasts 🍗
