Who Are We?

Hi there.

We, that's Mel (the guy on the left) and Steve (with the beer and pizza) decided that there was a need for an on-line virtual personal training website and community made by normal people for normal people. And the reason why we think we're normal is because after Mel finished the Ironman he drank beer and ate pizza. Meanwhile Steve is training for a 63 mile bike ride in February of 2007.

You see life is all about balance. And the photos that you see here are the extremes of our lives. They're things we do rarely (actually Mel sticks to shorter distance races nowadays) because we know that they aren't sustainable. If I did Ironman triathlons all the time I'd be divorced and have no friends. And if Steve lived off of beer and pizza all the time he'd never see his 3 year old daughter go off to college. Or elope with that crazy landscaper!

This escapade began because I told Steve one day that although I love being a personal trainer in a gym it disturbs me that the cost rules out all but about 5% of the population. And it's not that I don't love all those wealthy people who hire me to train them. I really want to get the normal Joe Shmos (or Steve's) of the world into the best shape of their life.

So if you're looking to find some balance in your life when it comes to health and fitness versus partying like a rock star X days a week, you've come to the right place. Especially if you're the type who's had gym memberships and lasted a month. Or is using that Nordic Track as a coat rack! Been there, done that! We promise you that we're going to be able to show you how to have fitness regimen that is maintainable and sustainable....

And there's not much more for us to say in this introduction. What you see is what you get....an affordable, inspirational, motivational and effective website made by and for normal people.

Cheers,

Mel and Steve
