For me, it's the consistency. At REVFIT I have my 55 minutes that I dedicate to myself in that room, week after week I know the experience I'm gonna get here is gonna be fantastic. The trainers are amazing. It's the time for me at REVFIT that I can just dedicate week after week after week, and I know the experience I'm going to get here is going to be better than anywhere else I can find. 

How does REVFIT help you in your life outside the gym?

I have a clinic day that's very difficult for me. It's a long day, and if I don't start my day here at REVFIT at 5:15 in the morning, then I'm gonna be off for he rest of the day. It puts me in a better mood. I'm more energetic. I'm more active. And that overall in my own clinic means I'm a better leader and a better physician for my patients if I can get here in the morning.

How has REVFIT changed your approach to fitness?  
For me, I used to be a big runner, there was another group fitness class that I used to do a lot of running in. I took a lot of heat for just being too skinny, uh, I've packed on a good amount of muscle here, which has been funny with my friends because I used to never be a muscle person. 

I've strengthened my body overall. I used to have back problems from standing all day, but now I don't. My back doesn't hurt anymore somehow by lifting more weights. It's been fantastic. 

How do the trainers help you be successful and safe at REVFIT?

I think that the coaches do a fantastic job of giving people options if you have injuries. My left shoulder used to bother me when I got here. What's funny is I do shoulder surgery and I was not activating my shoulder how I should during the workout and I can lift without my shoulder hurting now.

What would you tell your patients about REVFIT workouts?  
Listen, I tell my patients, we figured it out hundreds of years ago, right? The rolling rock gathers no moss. It's like if you stop moving, you're going to atrophy
And so REVFIT allows me to just continually stay active. There's so many of my patients, there's so many people in the United States, who after high school they just stopped moving. They...the last time they ran, they have to think about it. The last time they lifted, they were like, well "it might have been college," and now they're in their 40s and things are breaking down. 

And that alone, if we can get everybody on the same page in this country to just dedicate a small amount of their time, again, an hour a day to something like this (especially strength training), it makes a tremendous difference in your life.

What's one of your favorite things about REVFIT that's unique?

What's funny is, I recently worked out on vacation in a place that had mirrors, and I forgot what working out what mirrors is like. I think it's extremely important that there's no mirrors at REVFIT: there's just you. It's just dedication to yourself, and it's weird to say, but people need to be a little bit more selfish when it comes to their well-being and their health. And so if you can enter a room and just be selfish for an hour and just take care of yourself, that makes an enormous difference.
