Free Weights Sale

New training method at Palm Beach Gardens fitness center

Wrong, even I could see the absurdity in that.

But Hunter McMillan’s blog post on the debate between Calorie Counters and Low-Carb dieters intrigued me to the point I wanted to find out more about him and his fitness center.

He’s a co-founder of Coastal Performance fitness center in Palm Beach Gardens. It’s a gym without the traditional cardio machines you might see in other places. “Using free weights, kettlebells, cables, ropes, and sleds allows us to deliver the results you are paying for in a more effective, efficient and safe way than most machine training,” according to its website.

He writes extensively about his training philosophy on his own blog. I began to think he might be onto something. Here is an edited version of our Q&A:

How did you go from graduating from Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa. with a bachelor’s degree in Health Science to becoming a fitness trainer and co-founding a gym?

It’s funny; three years ago, I was actively trying to avoid becoming a trainer. In the academic world, there is a stigma against being “just a personal trainer.” But then I received an opportunity to work at a wellness center in Delaware, where I designed exercise programs and also worked with a few people one-on-one. I grew to love the idea of helping people achieve their fitness goals.

I realized that my passion was in the fitness industry, and I knew there was a better approach to it than the same, mindless routines you find too many trainers employing. So, I moved down to Florida, where I always dreamed of living, and began working towards opening my own facility.

During a short stint at a commercial gym I met my current business partner, Brendan Hayden. We realized that we shared the same dream, and we talked about how we would do things differently if we had our own gym. Our pipe dream slowly grew and eventually we were able to open our own facility, Coastal Performance.

How does Coastal Performance differ from other fitness centers in the county? Just because you have no machines, but clients use free weights, kettlebells, cables, ropes and sleds?

Big commercial gyms haven’t changed since 1995: same machines, same aerobics classes, same numbers-driven sales. Their success as a business is not dependent on getting their members results, but simply finding more members.

Free Weights For Sale | Muscle Maximizer

There are many different types of free weights for sale all over the internet, but there are a number of things to consider while you are shopping for  home gym equipment . First, what you plan on doing will determine what to buy. However, if you are looking at this article, it is because you want to purchase some free weights. First, let me congratulate you on wanting to purchase free weights because a lot of people shy away from free weight exercises because they think they are dangerous. This isn’t the case though if you know what you are doing, and are cautious.

There are a few essentials on the list that should be at the top of the list when it comes to purchasing free weights. These include at least one barbell, a set of or more of dumbbells, a kettlebell, and a  power rack . The only thing that is optional there is the power rack, however if you plan on moving some serious weight by yourself, it is fairly important to have because it will make lifting a lot safer. All of this stuff should cost about fifteen hundred dollars. At first glance this might seem expensive to you, but imagine how much you are saving if you count a few years of a gym membership and all the gas you can save by not driving to and from the gym. You’ll end up paying for all the equipment in a couple years, and the equipment will last you a dozen years.

That moves on to another key factor to consider, and that is to make sure you buy high quality  weight lifting equipment . If you decide to purchase high quality equipment, it will last you a lifetime. Some of the equipment even has a lifetime guarantee, like a high quality barbell or a top of the line power rack. This stuff is made to take a pounding over and over and still do what you need it to do. Depending on how much you money you have, will determine what kind of dumbbells you can purchase. If you aren’t too sure about what kind of weights you lift, or plan on improving quickly, then get an adjustable dumbbell. If you can afford a series of dumbbells in different weights, this is the better way to go. The reason for this is that if you break one adjustable dumbbell it can be very expensive to replace, but if you break a twenty pound dumbbell, it will only cost you twenty to thirty dollars to replace.

So go ahead and grab the most important free weights for sale, which are barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and a power rack. Good luck in your training, and check out the sites below for even more information relating to these topics.
