Month: May 2023
Childhood obesity is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors. Here are some key reasons why children may become obese:
- Poor Diet: Consuming a diet high in calories, unhealthy fats, sugars, and processed foods can contribute to weight gain. Availability and easy access to sugary drinks, fast food, and snacks, as well as increased portion sizes, can lead to excessive calorie intake.
- Lack of Physical Activity: Sedentary behaviors, such as spending excessive time watching TV, playing video games, or using electronic devices, can lead to a lack of physical activity. Children who don’t engage in regular exercise or participate in sports are more likely to gain weight.
- Genetics and Family History: Some children may be genetically predisposed to obesity due to inherited traits that affect metabolism and fat storage. Additionally, if parents or close family members are overweight or obese, children may be more likely to develop similar eating and lifestyle habits.
- Environmental Factors: The surrounding environment plays a role in childhood obesity. Factors such as limited access to healthy foods, the prevalence of fast food restaurants in neighborhoods, and lack of safe spaces for physical activity can contribute to weight gain.
- Socioeconomic Status: Children from low-income families may face higher risks of obesity due to limited access to nutritious foods and fewer opportunities for physical activity. Healthy foods can be more expensive and less affordable for some families, leading to reliance on cheaper, calorie-dense processed foods.
- Emotional Factors: Emotional and psychological factors can influence a child’s eating habits. Stress, boredom, depression, or anxiety may trigger emotional eating as a coping mechanism, leading to overeating and weight gain.
- Parental Influences: Parents play a crucial role in shaping a child’s eating and exercise habits. Lack of parental knowledge about nutrition, limited time for meal preparation, or reliance on convenience foods can contribute to poor dietary choices. Moreover, parents who are overweight or obese may unintentionally model unhealthy behaviors for their children.
Addressing childhood obesity requires a multi-faceted approach involving education, creating healthier environments, promoting physical activity, and providing access to nutritious foods. It’s important to involve healthcare professionals, schools, families, and communities in efforts to prevent and manage childhood obesity.
BEEfit strives to provide wellness and fitness education, a healthy training environment, access to optimal/possible physical activities, guidance on nutritious foods and access to systems of implementation. Empowering today’s youth with the knowledge and understanding of wellness is essential–as it will improve the quality of their lives more than any other factor–more than IQ, more than “Genetics”, more than “Generational wealth”…Knowledge is power–but understanding is the proper application of power to improve. We are here to foster a better understanding of health, wellness, and how fitness plays a key role in our human development.
We provide numerous ways to access the BEEfit training principles and fully equipped gym. -Upcoming in July we have our youth program–July 10th through September 1st.
-Ongoing we have our Teen Strength Team–this is an app based training program designed by BEEfit for each individual with their goals and needs in place. This program features in person seminar support, encouraged “buddy” training accountability, discounts on personal training, and more.
-Discounted Youth Memberships: Youths are encouraged to get memberships at BEEfit. Rates are discounted when billed on an adult membership account–IE, parent has regular rate, youth is $50/month.

Reasons why employers are adding BEEfit wellness programs:
-Training with a professional trainer and in a properly structured environment raises the potential for program adherence, progress, and formulation of the wellness habit.
-Employee retention/acquisition.
-Employees enjoy the perk of reimbursement for their gym memberships.
-Increase Employee Productivity.
-Training Regularly and Properly produces better energy, focus, and performance.
-Decrease Sick days.
“Although wellness programs have costs, they also reduce absenteeism, boost employee morale and make an excellent additional employee benefit that’s worth touting during the hiring process.”
ref:
https://www.business.com/articles/how-to-reduce-sick-days-by-encouraging-a-healthy-workplace/
“These findings support the idea that employees should be provided opportunities and encouraged to participate in regular exercise, as this has the potential to benefit both employers (higher productivity) and employees (higher work ability and health outcomes)..”
Ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8657020/
*Individuals that strength train 2 x or more per week will be 30-50% on average more productive than those that don’t. Do that math. Not only are your employees that strength train sick less days, they are far more productive when on the clock. This is a win-win situation.
More reasons…
-Decrease Workplace accident rate.
-Increase Employee Wellness (Social, Physical, and Mental Health markers improved).
-Decrease Company Healthcare Expenditure.
-Improve worker morale/camaraderie.
-Employee Incentive Programs.
*attendance based reimbursement/rewards.
-App Based Training Programs .
-Fully Equipped and locally owned Gym with controlled access.
-Professional Coaching/Guidance available at a variety of costs.

BEEfit New Program Start
One rep at a time.
Here we go.
This is a program, a system that continually yields results–it is continuous, sometimes there are peaks, there are the valleys–the dips, the hiccups, but we get up and we don’t quit–we will BEE relentless, BEE thankful for your body, joyful for the ability to move, and know that because we don’t quit, we can’t lose and can’t BEE beaten.
Program 0-101 Days
From day none, to 101.
Here we go.
So you have decided to actively fight the disease of obesity/ pursue a course of fitness to bring about the best version of yourself.
We are here to help you focus your energy and time on the most proper actions.
Having a game plan of tried and true principles and a community of individuals on personal journeys towards their best version is the place to BEE (fit).
We start our journey with an evaluation.
This is in 3 parts.
1 is nutritional evaluation/audit
2 is movement evaluation/audit
3 is habitat evaluation/audit
Nutrition is for our recovery and energy. Looking at it otherwise confuses the point. Yes, food has become a cultural thing, a source of pleasure, and a means of identity for some. Know that to get somewhere with your health and fitness, one must come to terms with their nutrition and work to align their eating habits with their physical needs and desired physiques. I articulate this in this manner because your health and optimization is achieved at a lower body fat state–and to get to this state for most requires sustaining a calorie deficit until they are at a healthy weight. Navigating a calorie deficit while maintaining strength and performance is just one of the places that your BEEfit program supports you.
I am not in the business of lying or deception. I can’t pretend like the majority of America is not obese. It is a disease. I understand the disease model–especially in terms of addiction. Like so many diseases–it is preventable and treatable–in most cases without medication or surgery and in the cases of medication or surgery–AN EXERCISE REGIMEN AND A GOOD DIET (NUTRITION) ARE ESSENTIAL TO A POSITIVE OUTCOME AND LASTING RESULTS. Allow me to repeat that, obesity is a disease. Most of us will need medical help to get better and a dedicated first tier health care professional is a great place to start–THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL AND CERTIFIED TRAINER (preferably with over 10 years experience with fat loss, rehab, nutrition, programming, ETC). I am a firm believer that if you remove a habit–you should firmly replace it with a new and healthier habit.
Step 1:Nutritional evaluation/audit
How to audit your nutrition?
Spend 2 days recording everything you eat and drink. The times you eat. The amounts of foods you consume. Condiments too. If it has calories, record it.
What is the point of the audit?
-We are looking at eating windows = how long between meals are we going? (3-4 hours is optimal)…less time than that and we have likely not used up the “fuel” from prior meal and eating sooner will result in “storing” excesses (this is a very simplified explanation–but simply put, this is how it goes).
If there are gaps outside of 4 hours and it is not due to sleeping/intentional (and properly supported) fast, this needs to be addressed.
In some cases this is a simple fix–either setting eating times later/earlier in the day to keep gap from occurring.
Planning a meal or appropriate snack in the place of known meal gaps is highly effective.
We also have the option of utilizing a dotFIT supplement like the “aminoformula” or “wheysmooth” or a “dotbar” (or any combo of those three depending on the needs).
-the audit should help us understand and see where we can improve and what habits need the most attention.
-understanding that how we eat is largely habitual–if you are aware of a habit/pattern we are more likely to be able to utilize it/disrupt it as it suits our needs/wants. (I will suggest that we align ourselves with the discipline of need and not the motivation of wants–paradigm shift).
Step 2: Movement Evaluation/Audit
1-Swimmer test/warm up 3 x 10
2-Bulldog test/warm up 3 x 10
3-Plank Test (push up or elbow) 1 minute test marker point
4-Twist Test (30 second Russian Twist–seated if needed)
5-Squat (Free weight bodyweight R.O.M. test–can do into chair/box/bench if needed, or with suspension trainer if needed)
6-Hip hinge (Good morning test)
7-Walking lunge
8-Overhead range of motion (wall slide test)
9-Lateral movement capability
10-I-Y-T Test
(Contact BEEfit to set up eval with coach and for testing outline parameters)
If you are not doing the Movement Evaluation/Audit in person with your BEEfit coaching professional, please record and share with your BEEfit coach to maximize the program benefits.
Step 3: Habitat evaluation/audit
Our environments shape us and a little bit the other way around. That is to say, you are a product of your environment and it is up to you to discern how your environment is impacting your health. If you are dwelling in or working in an unhealthy environment (emotionally, spiritually, physically, nutritionally, financially) it is going to impact your ability to recover and hinder your ability to thrive.
Thriving, aka, optimization is the primary goal of our being.
How we optimize our mind, body, and soul directly correlates to our fulfillment.
Optimization can certainly be a subjective term–but here we are talking about discernable physical health metrics and its corollary benefits.
Here we have principles and clinical results that we can base our programming upon.
Environmental Keys:
1-Sleep
2-Nutrition (access to the quality and consistency outlined)
3-Motion and Movement (Proper and consistent movement in a global balance–targeting all the necessary muscles and cardio system to produce desired outcome).
4-Air, Water, Light–you are an organism, and you need these elements daily. (if you are in an area without them, they need to be properly supplemented).
5-Safety (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial): if you feel like you are under threat/attack/durress/stress from any or all of these areas, it will likely affect your ability to recover from your workouts/daily life.
The purpose of the audits in these three areas is not to make you feel guilty or anything like that. The purpose is to draw attention to the main factors that will affect our health and thus our fitness. If change is to occur, we must identify the habits and elements that need to be changed. Taking a lens to our habits will help us understand the areas of need. Consistent improvement in these areas will produce residual and ideally, sustainable change.
After completing the three audits and convening with your BEEfit coaching professional…
What is next?
We are ready to design and implement your nutrition and training program!
1-Train with a trainer. (Book private training sessions).
2-Train with a trainer in small personal training classes. (See schedule).
If you are training at BEEfit gym, we have multiple choices for in person training.
3-Setup personalized training app with your BEEfit coaching professional and train on your own at BEEfit, your home gym, or another gym.

BEEfit Training App Free Sample!
Message us to request your FREE invite to utilize two weeks of BEEfit branded training!
This is not some cookie cutter programming.
This is an intermediate level program–we can get easier than this, and we definitely have more challenging and advanced programs.
Logbooks create an additional advantage for training. To be motivated by your own progress in strength is intrinsic motivation and that leads to the long term–delayed gratification goals that hypertrophy/strength training (what we combine to call aesthetic strength training) create a hunger for!
App Description:
Welcome to BEEfit training methods!
This is a sample and introduction to Aesthetic Strength Training from BEEfit:
A balanced approach to strength and physique building centered on classic hypertrophy principles, olympic lifts, mobility, progression, form, and ultimately, creating the most physically fit version of you possible. The BEEfit global approach to muscle building promotes a stable and proportional physique that is suitable for all ages.
This split is a lower body day with shoulders, an upper body day without shoulders, and a total body day. There is also our Nutrition tab for additional information and the opportunity to pose questions to be answered by our lead trainer.
Our programs are typically designed for 12 weeks of periodized progressions. This is an introduction to our methods and approach.
If you would like to train with us with greater direction and on a personalized training app–we are just a quick message away once you’ve set up your app! You can always email us directly though at ryanbeefit@gmail.com and we can set up a call or correspond via email.

GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING
After a decade of working and training in globo gyms it became evident who was seeing success and why. Training approaches, nutrition, and programming. Which clients saw the most success? Those that committed to training 3 or more times per week consistently. For training clients, it was essential that we trained in person at least 2 times per week–though as suspected, the more often I trained with the clients, the greater their success.
So train with a professional trainer 3-5 times per week in order to succeed in fitness…The problem with this is that most people cannot afford to invest the $80 per session 3-5 times per week. This keeps a lot of people from establishing good training habits and following a proper program. Another problem with this is the lack of experienced and dedicated trainers in the marketplace.
My solution was to create a program for multiple people to get personal training at the same time–thus saving the student lots of money and time. To further improve the experience, I designed the gym to optimize space and access to the equipment. This makes it conducive for efficient and effective training when there are groups training at the same time.
Our program has been refined over the last 5 years of small group training. We have 4 different 12 week courses that we work through each year. These courses are comprised of 4 week “Periodized” training modules. We modify the workouts for individual needs to maximize the benefit of each session. Each session follows a format of mobility and activation, strength, and appropriate finishing sequences. The program guidance is supported by an APP based trainer support and logbook. This app is your means of communicating with your trainer directly, tracking your progress, learning, modifying your training, training even if you don’t make it to class, and getting answers to your fitness/nutrition questions as life presents them!

Teen Program: Open Enrollment
BEEfit Teen Strength Team– app based programs available to teens everywhere!
Teen Program (Open Enrollment):
Our coaching, accountability, and guidance program features an open enrollment. This means that we are continually growing and welcoming in new members that are interested in progressing their bodies and minds. Our goal is to establish proper training systems that align with individual needs and goals. There is lots of misinformation and blatant PED abuse out there. BEEfit is committed to ALL NATURAL bodybuilding and sports performance. To succeed in this realm, we cultivate the principles of advanced sports nutrition and training. These principles we are constantly progressing with our clients and in our own training. WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH and we reap (and share) the rewards.
This program is ideal for teen athletes interested in optimizing their performance and improving their physiques in terms of strength, agility, mobility, stamina, and injury prevention.
Not an athlete? The program (Strength, agility and nutrition) is still a great option. Being “athletic” is not at all necessary to gain the rewards of the program. The gym is a place where we work on our weaknesses, safely/progressively/wisely overcome failure repeatedly.
Mental and physical fitness are intertwined.
