"Are Sneaky Calories holding you back?"

Are Sneaky Calories Holding You Back ? Congratulations on wrapping up Week 5 of Bootcamp! This week’s standout moment was our Grocery Shopping Educational Tour, and wow, the lightbulb moments were powerful. Even the healthiest routines can be derailed by hidden hurdles. If you’ve felt frustrated by slow progress, you’re not alone. Just remember: small, intentional changes lead to big results. The Sneaky Calorie Trap We toured the Famer’s Market traveling from aisle to aisle. When we hit the condiment aisle, the energy shifted. Silence… then came the “ah-ha!” moments. Those little packets of ketchup, hot sauce, mayonnaise, and ....

Stop Cutting Corners – Trust the Journey

September 12, 2025 "Stop Cutting Corners – Trust the Journey" This week’s bootcamp sessions were full of little nuggets to grow by, on your fitness journey, providing valuable fitness life lessons. During our outdoor circuit training session, one station came with one simple rule: don’t hit or knock over the cones… or you’ll owe burpees! Let’s just say… a few burpees were earned. But here’s the bigger lesson: shortcuts - or “cutting corners” - rarely get you where you want to be in the long run. It’s the same with dieting. Cutting carbs, calories, or following the latest fad might ....

Trust Yourself. You’ve got this!

September 5, 2025 Trust Yourself. You’ve got this! We’re officially halfway through this 6-week bootcamp, and the results are already speaking loud and clear. In just three weeks, several clients have gained significant lean muscle—one even packed on 11.5 lbs! That kind of transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It’s one’s reward for consistently showing up and fueling your body correctly. Here’s the wild part: some of these gains came from clients who didn’t even enter the Muscle Up Challenge. That’s what makes me pause. If you’re already doing the work, why not push yourself further and see how far you can really go? ....

"STRENGTH TRAINING IS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!”

August 29, 2025 "Strength Training: The Fountain of Youth" This week one of our clients shared a powerful moment at work. A coworker was complaining about how she looked as she aged. My client, radiating energy and confidence, invited the coworker to join her at Tadda’s Fitness. The coworker’s reply? “I’d rather just get surgery.” My client’s response stopped her in her tracks: “Would you rather look young or look young AND feel young ?” Why Strength Training Is Your Real Anti-Aging Secret Strength training does more than build muscle — it builds a better YOU, because it: • Slows ....

ALL PROTEIN IS NOT CREATED EQUAL

August 22, 2025 “All Protein is Not Created Equal!” TFC’s Lean Muscle Challenge Is On! This camp, we’re dialing up the intensity and zeroing in on one goal: Build Muscle. Get Toned. Win Big. Your body is your legacy – let’s sculpt it with purpose. Why Protein Matters Protein isn’t just food – it’s fuel. Protein is made up of amino acids, the raw material your body uses to repair after every rep. Without enough of it, recovery stalls, gains slow, and your goals stay out of reach. When it comes to building muscle, protein is king, but not all proteins are created equal. The type you choose, how ....

"MUSCLE UP AND WIN BIG"

It’s Time to Shift the Focus: Build Muscle, Not Just Drop Pounds! You’ve seen it. Maybe you’ve lived it. You commit to TFC’s 6-week bootcamp, show up for every workout, give it 100%, clean up your eating, and the numbers on the scale drop. Mission complete? Not quite. The Missing Link in Most Fitness Journeys Losing weight doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting healthier. In fact, if you’re shedding muscle along with fat, you are doing more harm than good. You could be slowing your metabolism, weakening your body, and ending up with the dreaded “skinny fat” look – thin on the outside but carrying a ....

"At What Age Did You Stop Deserving Breakfast?"

July 25, 2025 "At What Age Did You Stop Deserving Breakfast?" Over the years I’ve asked my clients a simple question: “Do you eat breakfast?” Most say no and look at me like, “Why do you, LOL?”   So then I ask, “Are you a parent?”   Almost always, the answer is yes. “Do you feed your children breakfast?” Absolutely.   “Why?” I hear from them:   “Because it’s the most important meal of the day.” or “I want them to have energy and to be able to think straight”. So, I ask them, “If breakfast is so important for your kids, why don’t you think you ....

CREATE YOUR FIT CIRCLE

It began with a personal passion. My nephew discovered skating a couple of years ago, and it quickly became more than just a hobby. He devoted countless hours to mastering tricks, finding a sense of peace in the rhythm of the wheels, and falling deeply in love with the sport. However, the next action surprised the family. Instead of keeping this new passion to himself, he invested in skates for his younger brother and a few of his friends. Naturally, we were a little shocked.   "Why would you spend that much?" we asked. His answer was simple: “I just want my brother and friends to hang out and skate with me." And that’s precisely what happened.   They started ....

WHO IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR BODY?

July 11, 2025 “Who is in CHARGE of your body? Vacations and holiday fun can take a real toll on our bodies. When people travel, attend cookouts, or gather for summer festivities, healthy eating and proper hydration are often the first things forgotten. This week alone, several clients shared that they were feeling bloated or constipated. Now, I do have a great product that can help with both issues – and I’ll get to that in just a minute. But first, I came across a joke that had me laughing and thinking. Then I will share the testimony of a current bootcamp client who found real relief with our 7-Day Cleanse. Who’s Really in Charge? All ....

Who is Mimicking You?

June 28, 2025 "Who is mimicking you?" Last bootcamp I had the guys at the 5AM session end our class with the cooldown. And as always, I began my announcements, but before I could finish, the men in the class started mimicking me! And not just halfway, either – they nailed every phrase, every gesture. Everyone was doubled over in laughter. I was laughing so hard I had tears coming down my face and my stomach hurting from laughing so much. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. But not everyone feels that way about being mimicked. Check this story out. A Grandma had just made it to the top of the stairs, breathing a little heavier than she'd like to admit. She ....
