30 people . . . . 210 pounds GONE . . . . 74 inches of belly fat GONE. . . . INCREDIBLE!

That’s an average of 8 pounds and 2.75 inches of belly fat per person. Awesome, huh?!

Impressive bunch, huh?!?!

Are you ready to sign up yet?!?!

As you can see this program is worth over $1400. But I want to be keep the costs as low as possible for each one of you, just as you requested. The 4 Week Rapid Fat Loss Program including everything above is just $347. If you are a current Boot Camper (on the 3 day a week plan), your cost is $147. You would spend twice as much signing up for 4 weeks of personal training, so this is a really great deal. I hope you don’t let it pass you by. If you are really committed to changing your body in 2012, do not hesitate.

You can kick off the New Year lighter and leaner than ever or just as you are now – which would you prefer?

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE 4 WEEK RAPID FAT LOSS PROGRAM:

“Sara’s programs have taught me more and empowered me more to take care of myself than months or years of participating in other diet programs (and I have tried them all). The program provides moral support, helpful suggestions, a supportive community and a boot camp class that flies by, is fun and shows results in 2 weeks! Although I still need to work on continuing the progress I’ve made now that the program is over, I do feel that I now have habits that are permanent and will enable me to be successful in this lifelong journey. I highly recommend RFL or TFL and her boot camp classes – it can and will change your life. In 4 weeks I lost 11 pounds and 3.7 inches!” Lisa J, 40, Accountant

“I signed up for Sara’s spring 2011 rapid fat loss program and really had no idea what to expect. I knew I was completely terrified, but that was about it. And then the slow weight loss at first was a little disconcerting. However, the end result of losing over 11 lbs and 4 inches off my belly was unbelievable! You know how you go through something and you don’t really notice – a lot like those few years after the baby comes and your ass just grows and grows and all of a sudden you catch a glimpse of it in a window at the mall and think WOW! – well that’s kind of the feeling I had when I got on the scale on our last day of the program. At the beginning Sara does what you will think is cruel and unusual punishment by putting you on the scale, measuring your belly and, gasp!, taking pictures of you from the front and side, but then you see it at the end and your hard work shows! Even the people that didn’t a whole lot commented on how their clothes fit better from the boot camp classes. And for me, it was the boot camp classes that were key (I’m a convert and will be continuing the classes) – yes, the nutrition guidance; grocery store tour; weekly check-ins; assessment booklet; secret Facebook page; and constant water reminders were all great, but the boot camp classes are a full body workout, fun and I ended up really enjoying the camaraderie with the other people in the program. Do it!” Shannon M, 42, Sales Rep

“With RFL I feel like I have finally found the tools I need to get healthy and STAY healthy! I learned how to eat right, and it’s not even that hard. I discovered that I can do a 6 a.m. workout and love it! Most importantly I learned that today is the day to start being healthy. Not tomorrow, not next week. TODAY!” Virginia D, 38, Preschool Teacher

“I’m 56, overweight and wanted to change, but felt I’d tried everything when I read about the Rapid Fat Loss boot camp starting at Sync Fitness. Since I’ve never done a boot camp and it was only 4 weeks long, I decided to give it a try. Sara was very organized and enthusiastic. She laid out how we were supposed to plan and shop for the next four weeks and launched us with clear instructions and easy rules to follow and best of all, PRIZES. Sara is a great cheer leader which helped me, for the first time start to believe that perhaps I could do this. I had no idea that deep inside I had a competitive nature but each week I saw progress which motivated me to push harder. At the end of 4 weeks I’d lost 16.5 pounds and 6.5 inches off my waist. I couldn’t believe it! Thank you Sara.” J.M., 56

“In the four weeks of the program I lost 7 pounds and 2 inches off my stomach! My blood work is just back from my recent physical and my cholesterol is at an all time low! I originally signed up for this program to refocus my weight loss efforts and to be accountable. I achieved that and more! Great nutritional information, motivation and lots of creative workouts. I would recommend this program to anyone!” Lisa H, 53, Health Educator

“I signed up for the 4 week program to start a lifestyle change. I have been maintaining the same weight for 3 years and had a very stubborn metabolism. This program was exactly what I needed. Sara is extremely motivating and genuinely cares about you and your health. I have never met a more supportive trainer. I lost 9 lbs in 4 weeks and 3 inches off my belly. I am so happy with my results and excited to see how else I can transform my body, that I now go exclusively to the Fitness Lab 3 times a week for the Bootcamp. The classes are really fun and always different, so your body is always challenged. I was a person who always hated going to the gym. I now look forward to my workouts.” Vaneeta P, 27, Microsoft Project Manager

“I signed up as I am a bridesmaid this summer and wanted to look good in my dress. Starting at 140lbs, I didn’t lose a ridiculous amount of weight in the 4 weeks (just 4lbs), but I did lose 2.5 inches from my belly and several inches from my hips, arms and thighs. I was very pleased with the results and have gone down a dress size plus received many compliments. I actually had to return my bridesmaid dress for a smaller size! For the first time in my life I am able to run for 30 minutes without stopping. I was also interviewing for a super awesome job during the course of the 4 weeks and the day after final weigh in I received a job offer! I, at least partially, credit this success to boot camp as I was sleeping much better and able to concentrate through the 5-6 hour interview process (super long!) The best thing about it is I think I will be able to carry on the program by myself – now that I know what I need to do to achieve results. I really think the RFLP has set me up for future success in managing my diet, exercise and overall lifestyle. Thanks Sara!” Louise R, 31, HR Business Partner

“The Sync Fitness Rapid Fat Loss program was tremendous. Sara walked up through each step of the process. She was always very encouraging and inspirational. I signed up because my fitness and weight had been falling slowly over the past several years. From the first several meetings to the grocery store tour. Sara patiently explained about clean eating and determining our base caloric intake amounts. I had a great time, not only did I lose 18 lbs in 4 weeks, but my fitness was significantly improved. Thanks Sara!” Patrick E, 39, Programmer

“I signed up for the RFL program because my weight-loss had plateaued and I needed to shake things up a bit. And, wow, did this ever shake things up! In four weeks, I lost more than 6 pounds and 2.5 inches off of my waist. I was THRILLED with the results! Every aspect of the program worked for me and fit into my lifestyle; the program is challenging but realistic. The key to the program’s success is Sara. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, generous, talented, and motivating, and her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. There’s no way you can’t be psyched about getting healthy when Sara’s involved! Highly recommended.” Deb H, 44, Editor

“Nothing ever worked for me to get on top of my weight loss as well as Sara’s program, and I’ve tried everything. The program works for athletes and beginners alike. Her approach is comprehensive, and made simple at the same time. You have no choice but to lose weight, and your body loves the challenge. Feel like being proud of yourself every day for a month and at the end of the month seeing 10+ pounds gone? Sign up.” E.M., 41, Database Designer

“I lost nearly 9lbs and 5% of my body weight in Sync Fitness’ Four Week Rapid Fat Loss program. This was the perfect boost I needed to get my pre wedding results I was striving for. I had a ton of success in the six week program in the fall, I kept the weight off by continuing to be one of Sara’s bootcamper and the 2nd program really helped me get toned! Now I’m ready to walk down the aisle feeling confident that I look amazing!” Megan C, 29, Wedding Planner

“The rapid fat loss program shifted my views on eating, exercise and hydration. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to shake up their routine. I lost 7 lbs and feel so much more balanced and strong after having completed the program!” Emma, 26, childcare professional

Before you press play, I should give you some background. Mike is in his 60′s, but played high school and college football. this has kept him exceptionally young at heart, I believe. On more than one occassion he has brought in Sports Illustrated articles about the recent NFL workouts and wanted me to model his workouts after theirs. Additionally, we regularly argue about how much weight he is allowed to bench press (after he looks at what the most up & coming NFL drafts are pressing and then sets the same goal for himself.)

Mike’s current sweaty passion is climbing mountains – big ones, like Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams and hopefully Mt. Kilimanjaro next year. So we do a lot of lower body conditioning, core conditioning and cardio conditioning. When Mike completes all those tasks, I reward him with Bench Press and Pull Ups.

Mike is a force to be reckoned with. He is still as tough as his 19 year old football persona of a few years past and actually weighs the same… he recently came in to report, “I’m back down to my college playing weight.” Raise your hand if you weigh the same as your most athletic, young adult self??? Yup, I’m pretty sure I don’t see many hands out there….

When Mike mentioned a pull up competition a few weeks ago, I was ready!!! I love to have something to work toward. So last week when Mike’s daughter, Alessandra, came to town (so they could climb Mt. Adams a few days after our big pull up contest), we had our game day. Thank you for taping Ale!!

I definitely had an advantage here, as Mike went first both rounds, so I knew the number I had to beat. Mike has already called for a re-match. SURE THING!!!!

I couldn’t be more excited to get you in the best shape of your life for summer. There is nothing better than wearing shorts, tank tops and a bathing suit comfortably.

Fit Healthy Moms (Healthy Breakfasts for Kids)

Enjoy!

The people I have encountered in these presentations have been great – warm, friendly, gracious. This makes the experience very rewarding. I am grateful to have these opportunities to touch more lives.

I have to tell you something that has happened as a result of these talks. I should probably be embarrassed to share this. But, actually, I’m deeply upset and, honestly, pretty enraged by the whole thing. I have lost a decent amount of sleep over this this week.

You see, one of the companies to whom I presented had their employees evaluate me after my presentation. Totally appropriate. I was actually excited to get the feedback. The first email I got with feedback from an HR woman said I was enthusiastic, passionate, high energy, knowledgeable. I was also told I spoke too fast (I’ve been hearing this since the 7th grade – so nothing surprising, although I need to keep working on it). I was also told I crammed too much info into the talk. Ok, I agree, there is a fine line between giving a ton of value (my goal) and overwhelming people. All in all, I was fine with this feedback.

Then I got a follow up email from the same woman (who was not at my talk, BTW, she was just reviewing the evals.) She said based on evaluations (or maybe just one eval, I was never told) I had a “clear inability to connect with the 40-60 year old audience”. She said she wanted to talk to me on the phone about this. In complete shock and on the verge of tears, I agreed. Over the phone, she told me I should curtail my presentation more to middle age women and promote things like walking and stretching.

Here is what my irrational red head mind basically heard as she was talking to me, “Hey Sara, you know that thing you think you are really good at? The whole working with women between 40-60 and COMPLETELY changing their lives thing? Yeah, well, we think you SUCK at it.”

Ok, so excuse me while I rant.

First off, my talk suggested things along the lines of cleaning the junk food out of your cupboards, drinking more water, getting in more exercise. You know, CRAZY things like that. I recommended that people looking for weight loss exercise 5-6 days a week, starting at 2-3 days a week and building up over the course of a few months. Again, completely crazy, right? Then I talked about high intensity interval training and how it is so much more effective that steady state cardio. You know, a scientifically PROVEN means of effective and efficient fitness and weight loss. I talked about how to do HIIT training if you were a walker vs a runner. I talked about the significance of planning your workouts and meals every week. I know, you can see how this wouldn’t have anything to do with people who are 40-60 years old. . . .

Clearly, I’m feeling super sassy about this. It’s not my fault, it’s the red hair.

I guess I should change my talk to tell people to stretch and walk more. Do you know many people who have improved their fitness from walking and stretching? Do you know people who have lost large amounts of weight, reversed chronic health conditions, dropped multiple clothing sizes, significantly increased their bone density, gone off cholesterol and blood pressure medication, developed enough strength to do push ups on their toes for the first time in their lives, learned to enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror or been able to out perform people half their age in Boot Camp from a walking and stretching program? Hmmmm, funny, me neither.

Interesting that each of the above accomplishments have been reached by multiple of my 40-60 year old clients in the last year. Too bad I’m not better at connecting with those 40-60 year olds.

Can I tell you how many prospective clients I have met with over the years who have come to me in tears saying, “I eat pretty well and I walk regularly, but I can’t lose weight?” Those folks aren’t walking anymore. They are squatting, lunging, doing push ups, doing timed cardio intervals, etc, etc, etc. And many of them are in the best shape of their lives. But I should probably tell them to stick to the basics. You know, walking and stretching.

Now, I’m not about killing people at the gym. More importantly, I’m not about telling people to go out unsupervised and take on a crazy hard exercise program. If you’ve ever met me, you know this about me. Walking can be an appropriate STARTING place for someone who hasn’t exercised in a long time, or ever. It is my number one priority that people engage in safe and appropriate exercise for their current level of fitness. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to promote walking and stretching as the cornerstone of a fitness program. THERE IS NO RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THIS AS SUPERIOR MEANS OF GAINING FITNESS OR LOSING WEIGHT. So it would be irresponsible of me to perpetuate the myth that a few walks a week coupled with some stretching can change someone’s life. I think we’ve been misguided enough when it come to health and fitness.

Given my strong feelings on this issue (and my inability to rest until I prove I’m right… Again, the red hair) I pulled aside two of my Boot Campers, Lisa and Jill, yesterday morning to get their input. Lisa and Jill are both in their 50′s. They are boot camp regulars and have been for some time.

You should see Lisa rock out the push ups on her toes. You should see her beside ladies half her age outworking them. Amazing! She’s worked really hard and it shows. Lisa participated in my first Total Body Transformation Program and in spite of having at least 10 years on the rest of the gang she was in the top 3 of 18 people for overall weight loss AND total inches lost. When I tell Lisa about this silliness over this presentation, she says, “SHOW THEM MY BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES!!! Tell them I’m 53! I’m an example of Fit Healthy Menopause!”

Then there’s Jill. Wow – Jill is HOT! Jill came to me after struggling with her weight and diet for 3 years. She lost bunches of weight in TBT, dropped multiple dress sizes and now she’s this petite little thing. When Jill first came to me she was scared to jump and overwhelming frustrated with what had happened to her body during menopause. Now I can’t stop her from jumping. In fact, there are weeks Jill comes to EXTRA classes to get her fitness on. So Jill says to me yesterday, “You changed my life when you told me jumping was good for me and it will prevent osteoporosis. Now I’m not scared of breaking bones anymore.”

Where would Lisa and Jill be if I just told them to start a walking program? Thank God I’m better at my job than that.

Ironically, in the middle of all this, another Boot Camp client, Deb (in her 40′s), writes on my Facebook wall, “You told me ‘Become comfortable with being uncomfortable.’ That advice seriously changed me in a significant way. Thank you!!”

Oh, and there’s Sydne, who adds up the weights we use throughout her whole workout and calculates how much weight she moved at the end. One day we totaled over 3500 pounds in 30 minutes. She’s like a little kid as she adds up the numbers and asks me to pile on more weight. She’s UNSTOPPABLE. Sydne is 62 and came to me about a year and a half ago completely deconditioned. Do you think this has changed her life?

The list goes on and on. . . . The point is I have worked with countless folks with stories like these over the last 8 years. I have to say, all of you who listen to me everyday and do what I say, even when you want to flip me off (you know you want to sometimes!!) have changed MY life. So changing YOUR life has been and honor and a privilege.

Now for those of you folks about to start my 4 Week Rapid Fat Loss Program – have no fear. Don’t let all this talk of push ups and jumping scare you. I will take good care of you. I will give you what you need to build fitness in a safe way before you become a bada$$ like all the folks mentioned above. But know that your life is about to change because that is what I do. I make you better. I make you fitter. I help you find your inner athlete regardless of your age, size, abilities. Walking around Greenlake just won’t do that for you. Sorry.

For those folks out there who want someone to set them up on walking or stretching program, I’m sure you can find a trainer to do that for you. But I’m not your lady. I’m in the business of changing lives. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Are you ready for my new 4 WEEK RAPID FAT LOSS PROGRAM?!

I know many of you were waiting excitedly for a Spring 6 Week Total Body Transformation program, it has proven to be the most effective and comprehensive weight loss program in Seattle. I was all ready to offer that, but I kept getting these requests:

“Can we have a program for people who have already done TBT?”

“Can we have a program that’s a little shorter?”

“Can we have a program that’s less expensive?”

So I decided to create a program that will give you AMAZING results in less time for less money and cater to both TBT grads and those who have been wanting to do my programs but haven’t been ready to take the leap. This was a tall order.

Thank you for pushing me to be bigger and better than ever! I’ve come up with something AWESOME!

As you can see this program is worth over $1400. But I want to be keep the costs as low as possible for each one of you, just as you requested. The 4 Week Rapid Fat Loss Program including everything above is just $347. You would spend twice as much signing up for 4 weeks of personal training, so this is a really great deal. I hope you don’t let it pass you by. If you’re really committed to changing your body before the summer, do not hesitate.

This program is bound to be just as life changing as my other weight loss programs. I couldn’t be more excited to get you in the best shape of your life for summer. There is nothing better than wearing shorts, tank tops and a bathing suit comfortably. There is nothing more uncomfortable than being on a beach in a bathing suit trying to hide yourself. So really think about where you want to be when June rolls around.

So today I want to brag about Erika. Head over to Fit Healthy Moms to read her story. I am so proud of her. I hope she inspires you to step out of your comfort zone. I know she did me.

Click here to read Erika’s story.

My clients always ask me what I do for my own workouts. I’m totally honest when presented with this question. I do as much as I can as fast as I can and I get on with my day. I’m currently running 3 businesses. My workout time is limited, just like yours, I presume. Many days I workout twice, but each workout is about 20 minutes. Someday I cram it all into one 30-60 minute session. It really depends on my current goals.

When I’m training for a half marathon, I have to find time to get in those longer runs. So once a week I’m getting in a 60+ minute workout. Other than that I keep it short and sweet. When I break it up into two workouts in one day, it’s typically one HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) session and one weight session. If you’re working hard you can accomplish a lot in a very short time. The metabolic effect of these types of workouts is really great.

So go ahead and check out the workout in the video above. This is from last week when I only had 30 minutes to work out and I wanted to get in cardio and upper body strength training. Not easy to do in 30 minutes, but you can tell I definitely got the job done here.

So the next time you think 30 minutes isn’t worth trying to get in a good workout, think again and go kick your own butt!!

Oh, the best part, I had my boot campers do this workout as part of their workout today. They rocked it, of course.
