Premier Fitness Systems – What is Our Why

Post image for Premier Fitness Systems – What is Our Why

Our mission is you

Until this point MGS has focused almost exclusively on equipment. Today, that changes.

Our goal was to build the most comprehensive #Datacratic equipment review system in the golf industry. We're well on our way to achieving that goal, so now we are ready to begin helping golfers in other ways. We envision a place where passionate golfers, hungry for a performance edge across all facets of the game, can come to find information they can trust.

Building a Better Golfer

Fitness - definitely golf fitness - has changed over the past decade. Dramatically.

There's an ever-expanding list of so-called fitness experts out there. But who can you trust to deliver real results?

We trust Premier Fitness Systems.

Their list of clients includes Kevin Kisner, Aaron Baddeley, Scott Stallings and Blair O'Neal.

And now it includes YOU.

The team of PFS will be producing a series of articles that, for those willing to put in the work, will provide the foundation in fitness that will help you succeed on the golf course. But before we get to that, we wanted to give you the opportunity to learn more about PFS.

Our Why?

Premier Fitness Systems - Brandon and Greg

Why did Premier Fitness Systems start its training/fitness business? Our initial thoughts were a result of the works of Simon Sinek’s Ted Talk, "Start with Why?

What is the real reason why clients connect to our gym? Premier Fitness’ purpose, our cause, our principles fuel and drive our desire to grow, as well as learn. Anyone who started and runs a business knows it is not an easy thing to do. BUT… if there is a strong reason WHY driving one’s business, it will be successful! Our strongest WHY has always been the concern for our clients, plus an acute desire to help each and every member achieve a greater level of health and performance.

From our onset, the Premier Fitness Systems team has always made decisions that guaranteed the best results for our clients. Having optimal health and fitness not only helps our members physically, but also emotionally. Our team is 100% committed to assist each and every person in reaching his/her full potential. Our happiness and excitement comes from partnering with you as you achieve your goals. Whether you want to gain 10 mph of swing speed or touch your toes…. your personal goals matter to us! Witnessing your success when you reach these goals is the fueling factor in our drive to be the best!

The Movement Revolution

Premier Fitness Systems - Swing on Balance Ball

All over the world it is noted that one large problem looms – only a scarce few understand fitness! Isn’t it ironic when one says he/she goes to the gym 4-6 days a week, yet that person continues to be unable to move? Do you realize that you can ruin your body by exercising incorrectly? Fundamentally, there is a general lack of ability to function or do the most basic human movements. Bending, crawling, squatting, hanging, and rotating are activities that are impossible for most people to perform; yet they are the most basic. Think about it… if you can’t touch your toes, should you be deadlifting 300 lbs.? If you can’t be in the correct position to hold a plank, should you be bench pressing or doing 50 pushups?

Now, think about this. If you are unable to maneuver these basic movements, what happens to your body as you undertake a complicated skill such as swinging a golf club?

ANSWER: your body will compensate, and thus you raise your risk for injury.

Premier Fitness Systems - Chris Marshall

Premier Fitness wants to change this! Your body was meant to move, and we are here to teach you how to do that. Some of you might be thinking… ahhh, forget it, I’ll just work 8-10 hours a day without exercise and everything will be alright. Result? Your spine will turn into a brick. If you continue to take the easy way out, on top of being a couch potato, you’ll likely spend your 60's being fit for fake body parts (hip replacement, knee replacement, etc.). When the grandkids come, you won’t be able to get down on the floor to play with them. Is this what you want for yourself? The movement revolution is here, and Premier Fitness Systems is here to spread the word!

Our Mission

Premier Fitness Systems - Wedge

Premier Fitness Systems is determined to continue its push to drive training in a positive direction towards the achievement of a better quality of movement and mobility. Training is so much more than going to the gym and lifting weights. Phenomenal results can be gained for both the ”true athlete “ and the “regular Joe” when knowledge and skill come together.

Premier Fitness Systems’ mission is to seek out the most beneficial knowledge from the best gurus/ trainers in the field. Then the team will bring that valuable information back to you, the client. It is our mission to be the best at our craft. This open mindset allows us to create a hybrid of all the best facets of fitness and methods of movement in order to build better human performance, and return our clients back to a natural state.

A Better Way

Premier Fitness Systems - Golf Bands

Sometimes going to the gym without training makes things worse. To lift weights effectively, one should focus on alignment, mobility, segmental spine control, hanging, and breathing. This too is one of Premier Fitness Systems’ driving forces… “to change the way individuals view fitness”! Let us to educate you on the correct way to start and view fitness correctly!

Learning to move and to keep moving is the key to living pain-free in the future and always feeling good.

Watching our clients successfully achieve their goals is what keeps the Premier Fitness trainers motivated. In addition to seeing all of you develop better, healthier lifestyles, our team also benefits tremendously from the connections we have formed with each and every one of our clients.

Premier Fitness Systems - 90 Day Challenge

From the onset of this practice, making money was never our main focus. We are about people, relationships, the well-being of our members, and always doing what is best for every single client.

As a result, many members are our lifelong friends. These patrons attend our weddings, escort us on vacations, go on hikes with us through wine country... they will always remain in our lives. For this reason, our work environment is an amazing place that easily facilitates the continual growth of its trainers, coaches, and members.

Remember, the movement revolution is here!

Your body was built to crawl, hang, jump, skip, run, bend, and move in different ways all the time. Premier Fitness is here to help you do just that.

Our team wants to change the way you train at the gym and make it fun! Get rid of those fancy machines. Take your shoes off and move like a human should. The Premier Fitness team is here to challenge the status quo and return humans to a better state.

Combining Pharmaceuticals and Natural Remedies

How to Know When Pharmaceuticals Work Better Than Natural Medicine 200x150

Once again, we are joined by Mary Lee Snodgrass in this podcast, this time to discuss how to tie together the conventional approach and the natural approach to health. As a pharmacist, Mary Lee studies and deals with conventional medicines daily but has a unique perspective due to her study of nutrition and natural health as well.

She provides detail on when she feels the conventional medical approach is most beneficial and how natural remedies can support this approach to help a person return to health.

Can They Work Together?

It can be so difficult to find a doctor who has the time, patience and training to understand and treat the root causes of our health conditions. In my case I had to do the research on my own, searching for years for the answers and the right doctors. Mary tells us her pharmaceutical side of the story of handing out prescription after prescription to patients and how she weaved her natural approach into her work at the pharmacy.

We talk about the uphill battle most doctors are facing today being overloaded with clients who want quick answers and who aren’t willing to make long-term dietary of lifestyle changes.

She encourages us to to take control of our own health on your own by keeping all your medical records, medication lists and finding a doctor who will work with you to find the root causes. Nobody has your interest of your health better than you do.

Finally, Mary goes over her step-by-step process for a special wellness consultation and emphasizes that even baby steps are important because any movement forward is good.

4 Tips to Increase the Speed of a Golf Cart

How to Build a Fun Cardboard Box Fort

We always hear that a box is not just a box. Or that all your child needs is the box the toys came in, not the toys. It is so true. It is ridiculous the amount of fun you can have with just a box (we go dumpster diving). Chelsey is a reader of Hands On As We Grow and shared with me this incredible cardboard box fort that she made. I think its absolutely amazing and asked her to share with the rest of us how she made it so awesome. Thankfully, she agreed to share, so you can make it too!

Here’s Chelsey, first grab the supplies she used to make it, which includes affiliate links for your convenience that help support Hands On As We Grow.

Supplies needed to make a cardboard box fort:

cardboard box fort-20160406-

Start by figuring out how you’d like to orient the boxes. I was going for a store front look so I situated the boxes side by side.

After you have the orientation you like start taping the flaps of the boxes together to make the fort big enough for you toddler to stand or sit in (This part takes a lot of tape!) Make sure the seams are taped completely together on the inside and outside of the box to add more stability.

Then collapse the box down and decide the location of the door. Use your ruler or straight edge to make a nice rectangle on the seam of the box. The seam will be your hinge.

Cut out the rectangle with the box cutter and then cut out the door handle.

Next, cut out a window in the smaller of the two boxes with the box cutter.

Put both boxes right side up again and next to one another. Next tape the two boxes together using lots of tape.

Once the boxes are taped securely together crawl inside the house and cut out a hole between the two boxes (so your child can move freely in between the two boxes while inside)

The flower bed is made using scrap cardboard and scored into a long rectangular cube and taped to the window sill of the smaller box (I also suggest using hot glue to really tack the box in place).

Before you begin decorating make sure all seams are taped on both the inside and on the outside of the box.

For added stability you can hot glue the entire base of the fort to your ply wood piece.

Decorating the cardboard box fort:

  • I used a mix of scrapbook paper with Mod podge, and adhesive contact paper.
  • For the lighting I bought dollar store push button lights and a lantern. Don’t forgot your dollar store batteries!
  • I bought my flowers at Michaels, but most dollar stores have fake flowers for much much cheaper ( I learned that the hard way!)

I also initially put contact paper on the inside of the house, but it was off-gassing too much and I decided the fumes were not safe. I took all the paper down and put butterfly stickers on the plain cardboard. If time permitting scrapbook paper with Mod podge would look great!

Most importantly it was fun to make and my daughter loves reading in her new house! Have fun and let your creative juices flow!

If you like this, you’ll love making a toddler busy board!

Special Visitors

On Friday we had two very special visitors in our classroom. This one is Hank, a blind hawk who is in rehabilitation with Wild and Cared Free Wildlife Rehabilitation. One of the students’ mom is a volunteer with this organization and was able to answer some of the many questions the animals elicited from the students. As you can see, we even got to touch the magnificent bird.

Writing Directions

We have been working on procedural or “how to do something” writing. Each student chose to write how to do something that he or she knew how to do well. These ranged from how to make chocolate chip cookies to how to make a friend. Check out the students blogs to see their descriptions.
