Money Tweet 💰 🤯🙃

 Saw this tweet from @CNBC:

The message makes me take action in terms of my current profession because, often times, one of or the first thing individuals scale back or eliminate is their health. 

The math is done on how much money is spent on gym memberships and nutritious food. Behaviors start to change until a monetary change occurs.

I understand the move. I think entities should do their best to accommodate a families needs, which is one reason I am not that interested in having an overhead facility. Facilities are good, but that intention was never the model for when I established TEEM back in 2009 or when conducting workout sessions, period.

So, what's the difference?

Timing and motivation.

Here me out for a few lines, then I am done. I like short blog posts:

It is typical to pay almost $400/session for a 4-pack if gyms have that price, putting each session at $100. Individual coaches and trainers may charge this price as well. So, let's work with it for this example.

You start looking at your expenses and ask yourself or your family, "Why are we spending $400/month on working out? That's too much for us with our current situation."

(That also means you are only meeting 1x/week).

Staying with the $400, if you need to scale back then ask yourself how long can you stretch the money. Sessions come with expiration dates, so if you can change from paying $400 a month to $400 every ten weeks, you have saved yourself almost 50%.

Could you work with that result if your scenario is similar?

(That also means you are only meeting 1x/2.5 weeks).

So, your timing changes.

Your motivation changes because you do not have a coach in front of your face every week. You have to find the grit to do workouts until you meet again.

Motivation is a key tool in human performance in order to get results.

For outdoor, in-home, and virtual/remote training, I advocate for training 1x/month in this type of situation. So, you would pay the one session rate every four weeks - You save more 💰 🤑 💸. You still can achieve good results.

Well, what's your move?
