JAMIE BECHTOLD

  IGOR SPANIC

I’ve been involved in the fitness & wellness industry for many years, but up til now I’ve been a lone wolf. 

Finally, after a prolonged search, I have found 2 unique individuals that I am proud to have as part of the Flashpoint Fitness® Team.

You can read their bios on the website and get an idea of who they are and what they’ve done, but I feel compelled to share with you a more personal experience of them.

First, Jamie Bechtold.  Jamie is one of those rare people who makes you feel better just by walking into the room.    Beyond her obvious attractiveness, she possesses an inherent sweetness that comes for her sincere desire to be of service.   When she is with a client, she is excellent at determining what is needed and derives such joy as they master each successive technique.   What sets Jamie apart is her unique combination of yoga, hoop dancing and sound therapy.  I have seen her working with a woman in her 60’s who in the past, absolutely hates to work out, but Jamie’s got her doing so many cool things with the hula hoop she’s having a blast while losing weight and getting in shape.  And using yoga, tuning forks and crystal bowls, she is helping to profoundly lessen our clients’ stress levels.  Check Jamie out on the Team page and see some of the magic she does with the hoop.   For any age, any fitness level,   I can’t recommend Jamie highly enough.  She will be the high point of your day.

Most people when they see or meet Igor Spanic are somewhat awestruck.   He’s 6’1”, 190 lbs and yoked, as in functionally well-muscled and he is the 6 time Croatian Kickboxing Champion.   As intimidating as his numbers and accomplishments are, Igor is one of the friendliest, most easy-going people you can meet.  Not that he won’t work you hard if you want, but Igor understands that everyone has their own level, their own kind of championship they want to achieve.  And so he makes the workout suit each individual, making kickboxing accessible and fun and amazingly effective to help you get in the best shape of your life.  When you work with a true champion, there are so many secrets and pieces of wisdom you can learn from his experience.  Igor is a blast and the person you want to work with when you’re ready to safely bump to your next level.

Check Igor out on the Team page.  Any age, any level.  He will transform you.

Both new members of the Flashpoint Fitness® team, understand, believe, and walk the walk when it comes to the number one issue of successful fitness training.  Make the workout suit the client.  We are all individuals of different backgrounds, ages, past injuries, likes and dislikes.  And the decision to have a personal trainer can be a life-changing experience.  Especially when you have the right one.   Jamie and Igor are more than trainers, they are exceptional people.   I feel so proud and fortunate to have them on our team.   And I look forward to hearing from all of you out there, with any questions, concerns, and hopefully the willingness to try a discounted first session.

The Worst Kind of Fat

The Best Kind of HCG

The Easiest & Safest Way to Re-set Your Hypothalamus

Ok, what's going on here?  Is it hype?  Another miracle diet fad?  Or something to seriously consider?

A lot of people hear HCG and they confuse it with HGH.  HGH is Human Growth Hormone which some
athletes have taken illegally to gain muscle and enhance performance.  It comes from animal hormones
and could potentially have serious side effects.  There is a natural form of HGH precursors from plants
that encourages the body to create it's own HGH which is safe and worth trying, but I'll get into that in
another blogpost.

HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadatropin.  It's a hormone that naturally occurs in men and women, but
becomes most pronounced when women become pregnant.  It was first used for weight loss by Dr.
A.K.T Simeon who experimented with it in the 1950's.  At first, the HCG was injected, but now it can be
taken orally ina homeopathic formulation.

When I first heard that the protocol involved eating only 500 calories a day for either 23 or 40 days
depending on how much weight you have to lose, I thought, "Duh!  500 calories a day?  Of course
you'll lose weight!"  But here's the kicker:

On 500 calories a day, you will be starving, your body will go into starvation metabolism and desperately
try to hold onto fat to survive andit is incredibly difficult to sustain for more than a few days, after which
you'll bump your calorie rate and gain back whatever you lost.

On 500 calories a day with HCG something remarkable happens.  The HCG causes the body to burn
1,400 to 4,000 calories of visceral fat that not only allows you to lose up to a pound a day, but you DON'T
GET HUNGRY!   You can sustain the protocol day after day without going crazy like you would if you were
on a low calorie diet without the HCG.    And there are no side effects.

However, the protocol laid out by Dr. Simeon specifies only certain foods that can be eaten for the
protocol to work.

Recently, I had 4 clients do the protocol.  2 men and 2 women.  In each case, they had emotional issues
with food, have tried every diet under the sun and had just about given up on the possibility of losing weight.
They each lost 20 pounds in a very short time and have managed to keep it off.  To be honest, I was
surprised that each one of these people, who all have compliance issues, were able to stick with the
protocol.

I believe the simple answer is this.  They see fast results and are inspired to stay on track.
