Speed & Athleticism Dominate The game of football is an amazing sport. It is without a doubt, the most popular sport in the United States today. Most athletes who participate in the sport will tell you, there is simply no other sport that compares. The game is constantly evolving. Athletes who play football need to constantly improve, because all of the other athletes they are competing against are working hard to improve. Mission critical components of the sport are speed, strength, agility and overall athleticism. Trainers at Georgia Personal Training are extremely knowledgeable in how to develop these attributes in the players we work with. At GPT, we specialize in working with players of ages and ability levels. If you want to find success on the football field, you really must work hard to get faster, stronger, quicker and more athletic.

The Year Of My Best Body

Resolutions For The New Year I heard a really great New Years Resolution the other day. I happened to walk by a TV and over heard Oprah Winfrey talking about weight loss and getting into shape. I believe that I heard her say that she had tried all kinds of diet plans, but, always seemed to gain the weight back. Sounded like she was looking for a more lasting approach. She then announced that she had decided to call 2016, "The Year Of My Best Body." Think about that comment for a second. You know, that approach actually makes sense for lots of people. Most people want to get into better shape. We all talk about loosing weight and getting physically fit with our friends and family. A few of us act on that desire. Unfortunately, the majority that talk about it, don't actually follow through. How many times you have gone to the gym and thought to yourself, I see the same exact folks at the gym every time I go? Maybe it's just me, but, it sure seems like I run into the same folks. The one time of year I tend to see new people at the [...]

New Years Resolutions

By matthew lein|2016-01-03T00:21:00+00:00January 3rd, 2016|24 Hour Gym, Fitness Trainer, Georgia Personal Training|Comments Off on New Years Resolutions

Lose Weight, Get Fit, Tone Up One of the most common New Year's resolutions is announcing that you are going to begin a workout program. The sad part is, most don't ever follow through and actually do it. Adding a physical fitness program to your weekly routine could deliver so many benefits for you. Yet if history and the odds are correct, there is a high likelihood that you either will work out a few times the quite or never start at all. Let me be clear here. There are so many benefits you could get from a great workout routine. I really want to encourage you to get off the proverbial couch and follow through. People who workout tend to experience improvements in cardiovascular fitness levels. They generally lose weight. Assuming they include weight training in their workouts, most also see an increased level of muscle tone. Do you have a tough job? If so, you aren't alone. The vast majority of jobs out there are ultra competitive. To succeed, you need to devote a ton of time and energy. The one caution is this. You are no good to anyone in your corporation or in your family if you allow yourself to get sick. One of [...]

GPT Produces Better Baseball Players

By matthew lein|2015-10-02T20:36:26+00:00October 2nd, 2015|Baseball Skills Training, Baseball Strength & Conditioning, Fitness Training For Baseball Players, Georgia Personal Training, Matt Lein|Comments Off on GPT Produces Better Baseball Players

Helping Young Athletes Pursue Their Dreams Is What We Do! Parents are constantly telling me that their son lifts weights at school. They are always convinced that will help their son to improve as a baseball player. The truth of the matter is this. Many high school athletes are working out without the benefit of a certified weight lifting or fitness trainer. We talk to baseball players all the time who tell us how much they can bench or how much they military press. It appears as though many high school age athletes are often left to their own devices to figure out what exercises they should be doing. They figure that the simple solution is to do what the football players are doing. That said, they jump on the bench or step up to the curl machine and go to town. We are here to tell you that there is a better way. Georgia Personal Training produces better baseball players through proper speed, strength and agility training. Lets remove the mystery here. There is a right set of exercises a baseball player needs to perform and a wrong set of exercises they should avoid. The athlete themselves should not be [...]

Cosmetic Training vs Functional Training

Which category do you fall in? Which style is better? First let me say that anyone who has the discipline to train gets our respect. Regardless of why you train, we believe that fitness training will improve your quality of life. We also believe that fitness training can and likely will improve your overall health and reduce your risk of injury or illness. It is our belief that those who choose to train are likely headed down the path that leads to an overall better life experience. All that said, lets delve into the the questions this article attempts to explore. Again, please keep in mind the article is not attempting to be judgemental, it is simply written in an effort to stir thinking, discussion and hopefully to sway your thinking as to the reasons you should train. What are you really trying to accomplish when you train? Is your goal to look good at the beach or perhaps you just want to potentially be more attractive to the opposite sex? Is your dream to be a famous body builder or figure model? Do you judge your progress by how defined your abs are, or by the size of your biceps and [...]

GPT Training Can Improve Your Athletic Performance

By matthew lein|2023-09-17T00:40:12+00:00September 8th, 2015|24 Hour Gym, Georgia Personal Training, Weight Lifting|Comments Off on GPT Training Can Improve Your Athletic Performance

Bonus Reps Can Help You Tone Up, Get Fit and Gain Strength! Looking to get more results from your weight lifting sessions? Try doing what I call “bonus reps” or “failure sets”. Basically, when you attempt a set on any weight training exercise the idea should be to work the targeted muscle group to the point of failure. Now why do we work to failure? Because the whole point of lifting a weight is to break down the muscle tissue. The more weight you lift and the more times you lift it, the more the tissue is broken down. During your rest and recovery time that muscle tissue heals (or more accurately rebuilds). And when it does, it comes back denser, larger, and stronger than it was before the workout. That is how muscle is built. You tear it down, and then it builds back up. You can greatly enhance the healing process and shorten the rest time with proper nutrition, water intake, ect. One day I was watching the old Arnold documentary “Pumping Iron”. A true masterpiece by the way. So Arnold was basically talking about the most important part of any set is the moment you start [...]

The Secret To How I Lose Weight

Lose Weight, Tone Up, Get Physically Fit I want to talk for a minute about my secret for how I lose weight. There are so many myths out there about weight loss. Sometimes it's really hard to separate fact from fiction. For some, the information is simply overwhelming and they just give up. Others continue to try and weed through the information, only to eventually become numb from the varying arguments being presented by the experts. Think about it for a second. If you watch television, they make it sound like loosing weight is simple. There are hundreds of weight loss supplements being actively marketed every single day. Every five minutes you see another weight loss product being advertised on television. These quick loss miracles come in pill form. Others are offered as weight loss shakes and drinks. Then there are the weight loss pre-packaged food plans. Those are designed for folks who have tried everything else and just can't seem to control the amount of food they ingest. I have been around folks who have tried some or all of these things. In some cases, I have seen weight loss occur, but, often the weight loss is short lived. [...]

When It Gets Hot Outside Move Your Workouts Indoors There are two times each year when we see a big influx of new gym members. Summer is one of those times. With only three days remaining in the month, June is almost over. In Georgia, the hottest temperatures we experience all year routinely occur in the months of July, August and September. Rain is at a minimum during these months and sunshine and is everywhere. The heat and humidity are literally oppressive and quite frankly pretty dangerous if you choose to stay out in the sun too long. If history plays out, we will see an increase in gym signups over the coming weeks. Our Roswell area gym is open 24 hours a day. Our members can access the facility 7 days a week, using their key fob access tokens. Most folks who live here in the Roswell area have pretty hectic lives.

Baseball Specific Training Designed To Produce Next Level Ballplayers Matt Lein, played high school and youth baseball in the Roswell and Alpharetta area. He played his college ball at Wofford College. After completing a very successful baseball career, which included being named to the Collegiate All-American team, Matt came back home to Roswell and opened a 24 hour Anytime Fitness Center and a personal training facility called Georgia Personal Training. The two businesses are co-located at 9420 Willeo Road, Roswell, Georgia 30075. The gym and personal training center operate from suite 105 and 106. Matt began playing baseball at the age of 5. He actually turned his first double play in T-Ball. With a player at first and Matt playing second base, the batter hit a ground ball that Matt fielded. He tagged the runner headed to second and ran over to first to complete the double play. At that very moment, it was clear that Matt had a real knack for the game. He played infield from the time he started playing, until the day he wrapped up his playing career. During that time Matt dazzled in the field. He routinely flashed his really sweet glove skills. What set [...]

Personal Training Delivers Results Do you every find yourself saying, today I am going to start losing this unwanted weight? We mean well, but, somehow we just seem to let life's challenges get in our way. How many mornings, just over the past month, have you gotten up and told yourself, today is the day I start training? Lets be honest for a moment. My guess is the answer to the two questions above is, both have happened frequently. For most of us, we can visualize doing exactly what it takes to lose the weight. We all tend to see ourselves like we did when we were younger. Remember those days? We ran frequently. We ate all that we wanted and we never seemed to have a problem with our belt being to small or needing to buy new, bigger cloths. What we all forget is, mother nature tends to slow our metabolism as we get older. Once the metabolism starts to slow, our bodies begin retaining more fats cells. Our bodies store that fat, thinking we are going to need it for all the exercise that we normally do. The problem is, we are now working all the time [...]
