“Why Most People Fail at Fitness (And How to Fix It)”
We’re 15 weeks into the year, and by now, a lot of people have already fallen off track with their fitness goals. If that’s you—don’t stress. The problem isn’t you. It’s how most people approach fitness.
Here’s where they go wrong (and how you can fix it).
1. Taking on too much at once
One of the biggest mistakes? Trying to change everything overnight. They commit to:
✔️ A strict workout plan (when they haven’t been exercising)
✔️ An intense diet (when they’ve never focused on nutrition)
✔️ A total lifestyle overhaul (instead of small, manageable changes)
Instead, pick one thing to focus on first. Master consistency in workouts OR nutrition before adding more.
2. Over-relying on the gym
Training matters, but most fat loss happens in the kitchen. You can’t outwork a bad diet, and if weight loss is your goal, nutrition should be priority #1.
3. Focusing on only one goal
Women often obsess over the scale. Men often focus only on strength or size. But true fitness is about more than just numbers. The real progress comes from:
✅ Better energy levels
✅ Improved sleep & recovery
✅ Increased flexibility & mobility
✅ More endurance & stamina
4. Setting unrealistic schedules
Going from zero to five days a week at the gym isn’t sustainable. Life happens—you get busy, sore, or exhausted. When that happens, many people fall off completely.
A better approach? Start with a 3-day plan or commit to going every other day. This builds consistency without setting yourself up for failure.
5. Thinking workouts only happen in the gym
A gym membership isn’t a requirement for fitness. There are tons of free, effective workouts you can do at home, outside, or with minimal equipment.
The bottom line?
Success in fitness isn’t about willpower or motivation—it’s about starting small, staying consistent, and choosing smarter goals. If you’re ready to break out of the cycle of starting and stopping, it’s time for a new approach.

Coach Hernandez is a coach for a rival school across town. However, during the state powerlifting meet, he assisted one of our athletes in a tough situation. It made me admire him more, and want him to be recognized for his actions so that other coaches may duplicate his actions.
For so many women, the gym is more than a place to work on physical strength-it's a sanctuary for the mind.
From walking into the gym at ages 6 and 8 to standing on the state podium this weekend, Vasanti and Yaretzi have shown what long-term dedication, consistency, and heart can accomplish. 💪
With 1st and 3rd place finishes at the State Powerlifting Championships, these two aren’t just strong—they’re well-rounded athletes who excel in CrossFit, soccer, cross country, and basketball. This post highlights their journey, how starting young laid the foundation for success, and why we believe in training for life—not just for a season.

Memorial Day at Roswell CrossFit means one thing—Murph. It’s not just a workout. It’s a grueling test of endurance, strength, and mental grit. It’s a tradition. It’s a challenge. It’s a way to push your limits while honoring a hero. But let’s be real—Murph is tough. 1 mile run. 100 pull-ups. 200 push-ups. 300 air squats. 1 mile run.

Ever feel like tracking macros is confusing or like you’re not sure if you’re doing it right? You’re not alone. Many people get overwhelmed, but here’s the truth: it’s trial and error until you find what works for your body and your goals. Most people don’t struggle in the gym. They show up, work hard, and push themselves. The real battle happens in the kitchen—and even more than that, in the mindset around food. If you don’t have a strong support system at home, it can feel impossible to stay on track. So, How Do You Actually Figure Out Your Macros? ✅ Start Simple – Use a free macro calculator (like MacroFactor or Macro Calculator). ⬅️ This is a golden nugget that only a few people know about. If nothing else, use the principles from this website to build a solid foundation. ✅ Track for Awareness – Even if you don’t track forever, logging your food for a few weeks helps you see patterns. A simple rule: • 4 weeks = Trial phase (get used to tracking). • 8 weeks = You will have real data to make smart decisions on diet, training plans, and recovery. ✅ Adjust Based on Results – If your goal is fat loss but the scale isn’t moving, tweak the numbers. Don’t overthink it—just use the golden nugget website I listed above 🙏. ✅ Accountability is Everything – Staying on track is tough when you’re the only one trying. Having the right support can be the difference between spinning your wheels and actually making progress. Who’s Holding You Accountable? If you’re relying solely on willpower, you’re making this harder than it needs to be. Most people succeed when they have: ✔️ Someone helping them see blind spots. ✔️ A system for tracking progress and making adjustments. ✔️ A support network that keeps them honest when motivation dips. If you don’t have that kind of support, let’s fix that. ✅ Book a Free Nutrition & Fitness Intro ASAP! No more guessing. No more spinning your wheels. Just results. 🔥 Richie
