A piece of the puzzle – “The Origin of the SymGym Trainer Application” from one angle.

I know, when my wife, Nadia and I first started taking fitness and weight lifting seriously, even after 6 years in the United States Marine Corps, working on 3 mile runs, better PFT or “Physical Fitness Test” scores, training to improve those dead hang pull-ups and maintain those setups… I still had a lot to learn when it came to really training, especially without all the jarheads around. This is were we really all motivated each other, I never actually took ownership in any of our weight training programs. After years of lifting and exercising with them, I still had to relearn or get educated on muscle groups, workout options, and individual routines for the gym.

With free weights or with machines, I wanted to balance it out and not go too over board with either, but I some days I didn’t really know where to start, or what muscle groups to rotate or what dietary supplements to take or what creatine was and if it was even good for us.

This mindset told me something, if I’ve been around some of the biggest, stongest guys the military has to offer, and didn’t pick up on enough to feel comfortable in the gym, then there has to be more learn. More runners or cardio guys like me that didn’t always hit the weights strategically, but really want to learn more about their rep numbers, their form and technique and simply what to do on a continual basis to – train.

I wanted to know out of the gate what to do, without paying for a costly trainer, but by diving in by myself and start lifting weight, start doing the work, and although I have incredible discipline in the gym, it’s that kind that get things logged into a log book or complex app like istayfit and others out there.

The answers were clear and their yes response when we checked was a very uncomplicated SymGym Trainer App, also available to us in the form of SimGym.com – it just had to be created. Check it out and let’s see and hear about real results!

While you’re at it, learn a little more from a CNN worthy www.marinecorpsfitness.com, where are partner Dan Collins has done a superb job in motivating, training and answering questions for those wanting to live up to the best standards in their early ages in USMC, those who seek input for joining the Marine Corps, we can also talk about that!
