Five Reasons I’m Thankful for Bodybuilders and Bodybuilding

December 1, 2009

[Back when bodybuilders were still cool…]
When I first thought of writing an article about bodybuilders and bodybuilding, the first thing I thought was that it was going to be negative. Seriously, aren’t bodybuilders all the guys that grunt in the gym, take steroids, smell bad and never get out of the gym? Someone even suggested to me that I purposely try and rile up the bodybuilders to build controversy and help advertise Passionate Fitness.
Then I realized two things. One, I have no desire to be controversial for the sake of being controversial. It’s important for me that this site gets publicity for giving great fitness tips and having the best fitness community around for support and discussion, not for starting random fights (non random fights are okay though).

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
