That is EXACTLY the first step that Nicole took. And… The rest is HISTORY.

As a bonus here is the partial summary thought reflection of what Nicole, Christine, Myself and some of the SCULPTAFIT Clients shared in the Seminar video above:

Powerful Reflections of Our January E5 Seminar

I write this in reflection of our January E5 seminar, which featured one of our “leading by example” clients, Nicole Crouch, and our partner health coach, Christine Popovic…

There were a few gems that were shared during that seminar, which can and should be repeated over and over and over… These could actually be personal mantras that are carried through a lifetime. You’ll see why when you read them…

1 – I looked in the mirror and said; “I shouldn’t look and feel like this. I’m not even 50 years old and I still have too much to live for. It’s time to do something significant.”

2 – If you only had one car to last you a lifetime, would you take much better care of it than you do now? So, why don’t we treat our body the same way. We only have one body to last an entire lifetime. Think about that.”

3 – If you’re not willing to put yourself first, there will be no boundaries for others to respect your needs and you will always put yourself “later” in terms of self-love and self-care. That doesn’t end well.

4 – My focus was no longer about losing weight, like it was in the past. I decided I’m going to focus on my overall health and wellness. The improvements would all come as a result of that proper focus. My “why” had to become the catalyst.

5 – Finding the right program and the right community to guide you, support you and lead you makes all the difference in the world.

6 – When you understand that modern society and culture is one of endless abundance and overindulgence, you can then realize that you must shift your mental paradigm that takes you out of that common behavioral matrix.

Common habits are mostly due to default programming – this is how the majority of our population is suffering from health decay and medical complications. It’s up to us to know the choices and behaviors that are beneficial to us – and then to act on that knowledge. True self-awareness is the key here. And all it takes is a values-based mindset shift.

All of the above mixes together to give us a framework that we can use to move forward in a positive direction on a healthy journey of life.

No matter what stage or “level” we are at – we are ALL works in positive progress.

Perfection is not what we need…

Simply making slow and steady progress is perfect.

TRUTH: Proper Weight-Loss Does Not Begin With a Focus On Losing Weight

Published by on November 2, 2017 | Leave a response

Proper weight-loss does not begin and end with a focus on “losing weight”…

It comes as a result of placing priority on health, wellness and longevity.

We all know MANY people who tried countless “diets and procedures” in order to drop all the excess pounds, only to find themselves still at the same weight, or quite often – gaining even more…

Truth be told; It’s the focus on “losing weight” that causes the whole plan to backfire.

Nicole lived through this same scenario several times in her adult life, until she faced the truth – that her focus had to be on something more important, more significant and more meaningful than just the weight itself.

This changed the game for her. It was the ‘missing link’.

The “weight loss” is a side effect… one of the benefits that comes from mindset, habit and lifestyle changes that honor the gift of life and prove the desire to live a vibrant, self-respected and fulfilling life – with full strength, vigor and enjoyment.

For context, here’s Nicole’s previous update blog-post: 85 pounds of health-enhancing, life-improving weight loss and wellness

And if you missed Nicole’s “7-month Health & Wellness progress update” you can see that here (61 lbs of weight-loss, body-composition and health improvements…

She’s made even MORE progress since then, so today’s post is to show you her stunning and INSPIRING progress at the “1-year” mark… Remember, here mantra is “FIT Before 50” and she is well on her way…

Here is her October 2017 HALLOWEEN photo update shot (see her “before” photo below)

It’s So Ironic That People Who Focus On Weight-Loss Often End Up Gaining More Weight

The reality is, we need to focus on self-care, self-love, self-respect and self-awareness…

Once we place priority on those powerful aspects of living – then the whole picture begins to change…

And it keeps changing as you maintain proper focus the important elements of your life and well-being…

3 Vital Female Measurements to Track Every 4-6 Weeks (It’s NOT Weight)

3 Vital Female Measurements to Track Every 4-6 Weeks (It’s NOT Weight)

Published by on September 18, 2017 | Leave a response

Due to societal pressure and media-fueled insecurities – “almost” every woman is concerned with her ‘weight’. And 9 times out of 10, it’s for superficial reasons… vanity. And that’s part of where the root of the problem lies…

The other part of the problem is that when focusing on weight – women (and many men too) are not paying attention to the true vital measurements that are even more important, and can have a direct & positive impact on weight, when the right actions for those “other” vitals are taken…

Here Are The 3 Vital Female Measurements to Track Every 4-6 Weeks

1 – Body Composition

When you don’t exercise properly you lose muscle density, and body-fat typically increases (no surprise right?).

This creates a higher-risk body-composition, where the percentage of body-fat increases relative to all other lean mass tissue. Higher body-comps correlate directly to higher incidence of premature aging, disease and death.

Tracking body-composition over time, allows for us to stay in tune with what is going on inside us. And we can guide actions and goals according to our aims for body-composition & health levels. Ignoring it is the gateway for allowing it to get worse and worse with each passing month.

2 – Waist and Hip Circumference

Like body composition, increases in waist and hip circumferences often signify increasing internal health risks, such as heart disease, fatty liver disease, diabetes, etc…

By tracking waist and hip circumference on a regular basis we can make sure our fitness and nutrition habits are keeping us in the zones we desire for optimum health, wellness and longevity.

3 – Subjective Grades of Energy, Mood and Abilities

While not exactly quantitatively measurable, these types of stats allow us to track parameters that give an indication of our quality of life. For example, in our Studio FIT-Q assessments, Coach Kaci will often record open ended feedback from our clients’ on overall energy levels, sleep quality, activities (gardening, hiking, work productivity, intimacy, chasing grandkids, etc…)

Seeing the increase in activity levels, more enjoyment, better sleep, enhanced hormone regulation, etc.. allows us to track a higher foundational baseline of quality of life and the multidimensional wellness benefits that come from that better quality of life.

This is one of the key elements in our low-impact, low-intensity approach to fitness for women and why we include our signature FIT-Q’s every 4-6 weeks. Clients report major breakthroughs in their lives just from the FIT-Q’s alone…

If you’d like to learn more about our gentle approach to fitness & wellness and our signature FIT-Q tracking, then just come try us out for free…

Jean tried EVERY diet, workout, gimmick out there and then she discovered this

Published by on September 6, 2017 | Leave a response

Fit Healthy woman happy dance

My name is Jean Bobin and I joined SCULPTAFIT five months ago with the primary goal to lose weight…


I have tried every diet, workout and gimmick to lose weight out in the market.….all of which were quick fixes that did not work and in most cases ended up adding more pounds to my body…

I finally reached a point where I was in search of something that would keep me engaged long enough to actually have an impact, not just now but all the way into my far future.

I had no idea when I tried my free week with SCULPTAFIT in March what I was in for…..an incredible journey that has changed my life!

I quickly realized after the first month of sessions that weight loss was no longer the primary reason for my pursuit of fitness. I became driven to succeed for many different reasons, very important reasons.

SCULPTAFIT has helped me build a strength in my body, and mind, that I did not know existed. I am stronger today than I have ever been in my 44 years of life. STRONG IS MY NEW SKINNY!

Additionally:
– I am sleeping better
– I have eliminated my joint pains
– I’ve also eliminated my back pain
– and I have more endurance to perform at much higher levels during my sessions and in life!

I am seeing changes in my body that are not related to any numbers on the scale...I have dropped one full pant/dress size so far and I have actually changed the shape of my arms, legs, hips and back.

I look forward to every photo taken during my FIT-Qs to see the changes month to month!

However, the biggest change of all…is how GOOD I feel getting out of bed every day…free of pain and full of energy!


The realistic format of this gentle program makes me accountable for going to my sessions, so much so that I look forward to every “workout” and don’t want to miss one!

The SCULPTAFIT Coaches are fantastic! They all coach in a very gentle, supportive way and customize each exercise to my specific needs.

I am grateful for the improved quality of life that this program has given me in a very short period of time…and I so excited see where I will be in my journey in the next five months with SCULPTAFIT!

Better every day,
Jean Bobin

Cute Black Dress

Her CUTEST Dress Did NOT Fit! Then 1 Thing SHRUNK Her to FIT!

Published by on August 31, 2017 | Leave a response

Yet another awesome local lady sharing her “cutest dress” story loudly and proudly so she can inspire other women to do the same…

Lori Putnam is another super-sweet SCULPTAFIT client, who shares a very powerful story below… a story that will open your mind to the possibilities of health, wellness and a “better body” – that are within your reach RIGHT NOW…

Lori’s Cutest Black Dress (and Wellness) Success Story


Here’s the initial email Lori sent:

———–On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 7:41 AM, Lori Putnam wrote:—————–

I hope you guys had fun at Earth Fare’s grand opening – I hate that I missed it and I REALLY wanted to meet Joey and share my thanks to him for creating and opening the Sculptafit Studio.

So, here’s an update I MUST share… Amazing!!

In March, I bought THE CUTEST dress (without trying it on) and when I got it home and tried it on, it was TOO SMALL in the hips and tummy, ughhh!!. I hung it back in the closet, hoping I’d forget about it.

Fit into a Cute Black Dress

Cute Black Dress

Then, I found you and Sculptafit, and after a few weeks, my husband noticed changes in my lower-body, and said he could tell I was doing something because he was seeing results! A week and a half ago, my mom was over for dinner and she asked me if I’d lost weight because I was looking much thinner, toned in my hips (yay!).

Last Wednesday through Sunday, I was on a girls’ trip to Myrtle Beach, SC and knowing I was leaving Wednesday straight from work, what I wore that day would need to be professional but something I could travel in.

THE CUTEST dress, still hanging in my closet, price tag and all, was just begging me to give it one more chance. I gave in to it and O.M.G. – it FIT and it looked fabulous – not tight in the thighs and tummy like it had five months earlier.

And to top that off, during one of our shopping trips around Myrtle Beach, one of my travel buddies asked me if I was working out because my arms and my legs looked so toned!

Of course, I told her all about Sculptafit. I told her that as a former gym rat whose old training consisted of how many reps I could do with how much weight I could lift and how many squats could I fit into X number of minutes…

So, needless to say I’m amazed at the results I’m getting because now with the Sculptafit method I’m not killing myself, no longer dreading the gym trip, so sore I couldn’t lift my blowdryer.

In fact, I now actually LOOK FORWARD to getting to the Studio and feeling awesome when I leave, not “beat up”…


I told her that I totally believe in the Sculptafit method – I love the focus on quality and strength (inner and outer), not quantity and volume. I love the coaches, I love the support and I love the sisterhood of my Monday and Wednesday 5 pm workout group!

So I’m a convert. I’m a believer, and I not only see the results, others do, too. Thank you for everything you guys have done to help me feel better about myself!

Love love LOVE you!!!

Di’s Personal Fitness and Anti-Aging Story at SCULPTAFIT

Published by on May 12, 2017 | Leave a response

Before I share Di’s eye-opening story of pure inspiration and PROOF of natural anti-aging, I want to point out some “miraculous” changes in her progress photos below:

1 – Look at the difference in neck/chin area (15 years younger? maybe more?)
2 – Look at the definition where her arm and upper back meet (arm/back flab GONE)
3 – Look at her ‘before’ glutes on the left – and her perky, lifted, toned butt on the right. (magic?)
4 – Look at her ‘before’ stomach on the left – and her tight, flat tummy on the right (notice the loose shirt hanging, because the excess belly is GONE)
5 – In person, these improvements are even more evident, some of her friends are simply beside themselves (and maybe even a bit envious)
6 – What you see here is only on the surface, read her words below to get a better sense of how Di’s mental state is healthier, happier, stronger…

Here’s Di’s Recent Wellness Status Note to the Team and for The SCULPTAFIT Blog

From: Di

Subject: A note about SCULPTAFIT, and ME
To: Nikki at SCULPTAFIT

Hi Nikki,

Here is a little something that I wrote and perhaps you can use as a recommendation or any way you see fit. I prefer not to have my weight in numbers though, because I think it’s more about mind change and I never liked stories about how much weight a person lost and how long it took because it’s different for everyone. With all that said, here it is:

As I was asked to share my story about why I joined SCULPTAFIT, I sat to think about it and reflect as to why I even have a story.

But I realized it’s not really a story. In the past, what I had were excuses. Excuses that I used to justify not exercising, not eating right, not taking care of myself.

Yes, on the surface, some excuses seemed pretty legit. But in actuality those excuses should have been my reasons why. Why I should have been working out, why I should be eating right and why I should be taking care of myself. I was only fooling myself.

Here’s a little background. Going back in time, I was always in great shape. I was athletic, played team sports etc. I started working out in a gym and was hooked.

I got married and had my twins and still continued to work out. It wasn’t until about 7 years ago about five years after my hysterectomy that things started changing with me and my body.

That’s when the excuses started. I stopped working out and before I knew it I was out of shape, gained weight and not happy.

We recently retired and moved from NY to FL. I knew I needed to get back to doing something and get off the lazy train I had been riding way too long. That is when I came across SCULPTAFIT.

The studio was not yet finished but Joey had 7 day free program online and I started with that.

When SCULPTAFIT opened I went for a free trial session and immediately knew this was THE perfect way to get me back on track.

The classes (women only) are low intensity, designed to use your body weight in addition to light weights, custom bands and Joey’s own SCULPTABOD units.

Everything is slow, controlled and safe. All exercises can be modified according to your level of fitness. We train in a group setting going through 16 different exercises in a 45 minute session. There is a coach assigned to each class and they are there making sure you are correctly doing each exercise, watching your form, and making sure you are working to your comfortable max, no matter your age or ability.

Every four weeks the circuit configuration changes so your body continues to get stronger, healthier, more energetic, as it shapes itself. In addition to the classes they offer private monthly seminars on all sorts of subjects from nutrition, mindset, accountability… to how to pick the correct fitness shoe.

SCULPTAFIT works. It’s working for me. I see my body slimming down, toning up and I feel strong. I’ve met wonderful women who empower each other and all are having fantastic results.

So if you are ready to make some true, positive and lasting improvements, from one woman to another, I suggest you try SCULPTAFIT.

I am glad I did.

Di

———————————————————-

Call or text me now at 904-891-3680 and I will give you 1 Complimentary Express Session AND 1 Complimentary Signature Session (I can only do this for the next 3 women, or else we will be overwhelmed.)

In health, wellness and longevity…

Down 61 LBS (so far): Nicole’s 7 Month Health and Fitness Turnaround Story

We LOVE helping women take control of their minds, bodies and lives…

Take, Nicole for example…


Here’s a 7 month progress photo comparison (in a few months we’ll post another update to provide even more inspiration and fuel for motivation)

Nicole 7 Months Fitness before and after photos and changes

Nicole’s 7 Month Fitness and Health Progress Photos

Kaci and The “FIT-Q” Keeps You On Track & Making Progress

Every month, Coach Kaci does a 15 minute “FIT-Q” status check-in with each of our clients to monitor progress, make sure things are tracking in the right direction and that each women is “in tune” with where she is guiding her health, wellness and fitness…

The Primary Health Parameters We Measure In Each FIT-Q Are:

1 – Body-Composition (Body-Fat %)
2 – Total Weight
3 – Hip Circumference
4 – Waist Circumference
5 – Left Arm Circumference
6 – Right Arm Circumference

While most women are aiming to reduce most of those numbers, there is a percentage of women who are trying to increase some of them. We’ll talk about that in a future blog post.

For now we’ll focus on the problems faced by the majority. Too much weight, dangerous body-fat levels and measurements that signal high-risk health profiles.

So we measure those markers to make sure the relative changes over time are trending in the directions that place the woman in better statistical ranges for her health risk factors, prevention (or reversal of premature aging), and improved quality of life, physical abilities and cognitive function as time progresses…

Enhanced moods, self-confidence, happiness, zest for life and a host of other improvements come via the ‘cascade effect’ of proper habits of fitness.

Additionally covered in the FIT-Q are the more qualitative aspects of total well-being such as reduction of aches and pains, improved energy levels, feeling more “in control” of life, having more mental clarity, and less brain fog, etc…

See, we help women do ALL THE THINGS they have not been able to do on their own.


By NOT “doing the right things” is how women get more and more out of shape, unhealthy, unhappy and at HIGH RISK of all the top disease and death causes…

And it’s not like you don’t know. YOU ARE intelligent. Deep down, you know you’re not taking proper care of yourself.

However, Blatant Self-Neglect holds strong, due to the various forces of life we allow to push us around… as each year tics by…

Some call it blind ignorance (where you don’t realize you’re being ignorant about your personal well-being).

The Great News Is, Once You Awaken, Incredible Improvements Await You

If we go back to January, (she was “ONLY” down 36 lbs back in January, lol) we can share Nicole’s email submission for our first annual “BEST Me EVER” Party. Her words may resonate deeply with you or someone you know:

———- Forwarded message ———-
From: “Nicole Crouch”
Date: Jan 21, 2017 3:10 PM
Subject: “Best Me Ever” 2017 Story submission
To: The SCULPTAFIT Team

My personal Investment… In ME

For a number of years I’ve felt as though I had completely lost control of my body.

My busy life of being a wife, mother and business owner really seemed to have taken its toll on me…

As I thought about those things, those investments, I realized that they were a very important part of who I am and that the time and energy invested in them was important and worthwhile. Then my thoughts turned to the things I wanted to do and enjoy, for ME, but I was tired and feeling old.

At that moment I realized I wasn’t invested in the most wonderful gift of life that I had been given.

Someday, would I be able to say that I had used that gift well and truly made the most of it?

That’s the moment I decided it was time to make a change.

“”I knew what to do because I had done it before. Heck, I’ve been to Curves, I’ve done Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and even tried Nutri System once. I’ve had some success with those programs and been happy with the results, at least for a little while. But it never seemed to last….“”

Maybe that’s because my focus was more about “losing weight” as opposed to an overall desire to feel better and to be healthy and fit.

I knew I needed a shift in mindset but I wasn’t sure how to make that happen. Just when I needed it most, I met Joey.

He came to our church for a wellness event we were hosting. I stopped by his table and signed up for a sample session at the SCULPTAFIT Studio. And it wasn’t a hard decision since I already knew it was time to do something and this seemed worth a try.

I went to the session and enjoyed it. I was tired and much of it was challenging, but very doable, and it actually felt good. The next day I was pleasantly sore in places I didn’t know I could be! I realized just how dormant I allowed my physical body to get and how deconditioned I had become.

The weekend went by and on Monday, I was ready to go again. It did even better the second time and I decided to sign up right there and then. I knew this was going to be the thing that “works”. This was a conscious investment in my health and I was approaching it from that standpoint.

Sure I want to lose weight but this time it needed to be much more than that. After my first week, I felt good about my effort and after the second week I actually felt energized!

LOTS of positive things were starting to happen.

Fast forward 4 months. My continued “investment” is already paying big dividends. I enjoyed the holidays, stayed on target and have no regrets. This is the first holiday season where I actually got into better shape, despite all the parties, food and desserts. Amazing.

I began incorporating D.I.B.S activities (Days In Between Sessions) into my schedule around the second month and I’ve been able to do more and more each month. I feel great! I’m stronger, happier, and my body is responding positively.

Lately I don’t feel so old, I actually feel like I’m getting younger

…and I wake up rested and ready to face the day, looking forward to each one of them now.

Still, I can’t deny that I am a bit of a numbers person and I do get some motivation from knowing that in 18 weeks I’ve lost 36 lbs, approximately 4% body fat and numerous inches off my waist and hips.

I’m looking forward to life, to traveling, to spending time with my family and creating lasting memories. I’m advancing toward my fitness goals and my muscles and joints are getting stronger.

More than anything else, I’m creating a knew lifelong habit of living a healthy, active lifestyle.

While I’m still a “work in progress” I can say I’m in control again and I’m loving every minute of it!

My new mantra is “Fit Before 50”


There’s one last investment to mention. The coaches at SCULPTAFIT have made me feel as if they are also invested in me. Their words of motivation, support, reassurance and encouragement to be better have made all the difference.

They help me stay focused on my health, keep me accountable and celebrate in my successes. I’m grateful to have them on this journey to My Best Year EVER!

To be continued 🙂
Nicole

There’s nothing better than a woman telling her “turnaround story” in her own words…

The only thing better than the story above is the fact that Nicole’s story is STILL unfolding, just like many other women here, and you can be sure we’ll be sharing Nicole’s next incredible progress update, as well as any other women who are ok sharing their stories and photos…

NOTE: when a woman becomes a client here, it is NOT mandatory that you share your success story and progress photos. We have many women who prefer to stay private and keep their success “quiet”. We TOTALLY respect that and oblige 🙂

BUT if you do join the movement here, and want to share YOUR success story of your journey, so that YOU many inspire other women to do the same, then we would love that of course!

This is our unique specialty, our gift, and we are good at it. We are the ONLY fitness program that utilizes the Gentle L.I.I.T. approach…

Low-Intensity Interval Training is a key element that Joey has been pioneering for at least a decade and it is part of the foundation of The SCULPTAFIT Method, and as a Team we are now perfecting this approach week after week, month after month… And the results are showing.

If you’re not already a client, and what you see in the video catches your interest as it relates to your personal health, wellness and longevity – then we’d love to invite you in for a Complimentary Sample Session…

Would You Like a “BEST Me EVER” Complimentary Sample Session?…

Just call or text Nikki now: 904-891-3680 and let her know you’re interested in a Complimentary “Sample Session” and Personal Fitness Consultation (or maybe even ‘1 Week Free’ if we have any left)
