Here is what we are doing to keep you safe! I know most of you know this but here is a friendly reminder We take this whole situation very seriously and have thought thru everything to keep everyone safe... 1- Virtual Training- stopping the spread begins with prevention! We are asking anyone if they feel even a little under the weather to STAY HOME and train with us virutally. This stops the spread and lowers the risks for everyone and our trainers 2- Having 2 facilites- each facility is open 3x per week with 24 hours in between appointments. Also both facilites are closed on Sundays which allows germs on surfaces to die 3- Screening- We ask anyone to text us if they feel slightly under the weather and we make arrangements to move them to virtual. In addition to that we take everyones temperture to ensure if anyone has even a slight raise in temperture they wont be allowed in to the facility 4- Social distancing- Everyone has a 9ft social area so there is more then 6ft distance between each other 5- Air Purification- We have a unit in each facility that cleans and purifies the air in the gym. The purifier remains on to clean the air 6- Client Cleaning Protocols- We are asking everyone to clean any equipment that they may touch with disinfectant. This helps to keep the equipment super clean 7- Trainer Cleaning Protocols- Trainers have specific cleaning duties to be done each day and most importantly at the end of every shift the gym is sprayed down with a fogger and a disinfectant. This ensures that between our morning session and afternoon session the gym remains germ free 8- Sunday Deep Cleans- Since we are closed on Sunday the gym gets a big deep clean so the facilites are spotless In addition to this Governor Cuomo has stated "By the facts" that gyms are one of the lowest known spreaders with a .06% spread rate. And thats a normal gym like a planet fitness. Since we have all these procedures and we are a personal training facility are rate is at least half of that number. Just so you have some peace of mind knowing we are working diligently to keep you safe Anthony and The AB Fitness Team

Why do I need to eat protein to lose weight? There is a reason high protein diets are linked to weight loss! The thermic effect of food basically meals every time you eat food (calories in) your body burns (calories out) an amount of calories to digest and process that same food!... Here’s the thing....not all foods burn the same amount of calories to digest. Protein is highest on the chart at 20-30% meaning if you eat 100 calories worth of protein you only bet about 70-80 of those calories after the digestion process. Compare that to carbs at roughly half (5-10%) Or even less with fats (0-3%) Can you see now why If you change nothing else but just increasing your protein intake you will be more likely to lose weight? There’s a reason for high protein diets on our plan...because they work! Who loves burning calories from eating

WOW! Look at AB Fitness Holiday Donations to Last Hope-Part 2 Last Sunday our AB Fitness Friends-Jennifer & Anthony Bevilacqua -Returned wit...h their Gym Clients' Donations that had been Back Ordered by Chewy & Amazon. Georgia Transport Pup Sisters-HANNAH & HARLEY- were excited & overjoyed about meeting the dog-loving Bevilacqua Family & the gifts Part 2, especially the tons of Milkbones. There were cases of Fancy Feast for our kittens & Science Diet for our dogs, a specialized microwaveable disk to keep infant kittens warm, new blankets, pet wipes, martingale collars & other specific gifts off the Last Hope Wish List. AB FITNESS Continued A Tradition of Kindness in Memory of a Beloved Boxer Before Christmas AB Fitness Filled Our Lobby with so Many Gifts the Lobby Looked Like a Pet Supply Warehouse. And the AB Fitness Incredible Donation Check of $2,000 was immensely huge in size & in the spirit of the season . For the 2nd year in a row, our Friends- Anthony & Jennifer Bevilacqua- owners of AB Fitness in East Meadow & now Massapequa organized a supply drive for the Last Hope dogs & cats. This Wonderful act of kindness is in memory of the Bevilacquas' beloved Boxer ROCKY who passed away from cancer last year at 8 years old, and now sadly, their dear 11 year old Shepherd SADIE who succumbed suddenly to hemangiosarcoma after Christmas. They asked their friends, (many being members of the gym) to donate supplies at Christmas time. For the much-appreciated $2,000 check, they sold special AB Fitness/animal rescue theme shirts (see green shirt in photos) . The proceeds from the shirt sale plus a gift from AB Fitness made up the generous total. Tons of contributions started piling up before Christmas. Amazon & Chewy boxes were delivered to the Gym & the Bevilacqua home. The rest of the AB FITNESS motherlode of donations arrived over the weekend. Last Hope is OVERWHELMED by the generosity of the kind AB Fitness donors. To join or learn more about the AB Fitness team, visit: www.ABFitnessTrainer.com THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

30% Fail within the first week....Do you want to be included in that number? Weight loss should not be something you need to make a New Years resolution to accomplish. It’s not something you do for 6 weeks, get bored with and then finish ... It’s a never ending lifestyle that is a very rewardable one at that! Imagine living this lifestyle that would make everyone admire you....YOU could be an inspiration for your kids! I kid you not about that one! A lot of our most successful clients have directly impacted their whole families lives! If your goal is to transform your body your resolution should not be to lose weight. I can guarantee you will set yourself up for a short term plan of failure. Create a resolution to live a better lifestyle by following our AB Fitness Method and your fitness goals will fall into place! Message me to get started!

Did you blame any of your recent weight gain on the holidays? Look we all know it’s more challenging this time of the year to be your best when it comes to making the right choices. Read that last line again.....CHOICES ... it’s ultimately up to you however you want to handle this time of the year. Like anything in life your results come down to the decisions you make everyday. If something like the holidays is the reason you can’t get in the shape you want to then I urge you to ask yourself what your why is for losing weight? I’m willing to bet it’s more meaningful to you than eating a couple cookies and milk. Who’s finishing the year strong and not waiting for January 1st? See more

With the holiday season coming to an end everyone is thinking about next year! I'm sure you have some goals of your own and naturally like most people one or more of them may be a fitness related goal. I am all for new years resolutions, the problem I have with them however is most people set a goal "I want to lose 20lbs this year" but never set a plan of execution to achieve that goal! I'm here to get you started with your plan of attack! ... The first thing let’s hop on the phone and put together a plan of attack on how we can help you get to your goals. This call is totally complementary (hide your credit card in the other room lol) That’s right a simple phone call to find out what it will take is all it takes to set the wheels in motion Remember you can't reach your goals if you never even start Lets build momentum going into this next year! If you are serious about making your fitness goals this year a reality just write yes in the comments below!

It never fails that around this time of year everyone just seems to fall off. Did thanksgiving throw you off and now you feel like you might as well just wait until the new year comes to start losing weight? The average weight gain through the holiday season is 7-10lbs...so if you started now you would PREVENT holiday weight gain. ... When people start working out with us almost everyones goal is fat loss. and while fat loss is important sometimes you have to remember that NOT Gaining is even better especially during the holiday season! I get that excuse from people all the time..."I will just wait until January" but why? You want to put on weight during the holidays only to have to work 3x as hard to get that weight off? Our "AB Fitness Transformation Protocol" works best when its combined with momentum. You need to start building momentum in order to see success. Right now is the perfect time to start developing habits that will PREVENT FAT gain....boost your energy levels and finally get healthier! You dont have to be "all in" to see success In fact I would argue that being "all in" will not be sustainable. The "AB Fitness Transformation Protocol" will teach you life long habits that begin with aiming to be 1% better every day. 1% is no where close to all in...but 1% is sustainable. We want every pound you lose with AB Fitness to be the last time you have to lose it. I get 2020 might have not worked out to be "your year" but you still have the ability to take control of the remaining time left of 2020. Lets set up 2021 to be your year....but that process begins today!!!! Anthony PS Message me and let’s have a chat to see what we can do to help

Prior to coming to us most of our clients have used weight watchers in the past. I never really had an opinion of it until someone brought it up to me in conversation the other day. This lead me to lift the hood on this diet and go through it. Weight watchers is basically a point based system designed to help you lose weight.... In this lesson I break down their flawed "point" system and explain why flexible dieting is superior. I also cover why eating only 0 point foods will still lead to weight gain!! Dont miss this mindblowing episode in my story Anthony PS Tag someone who needs to hear the truth about Weight Watchers PSS Let me know in the comments of the video what your experiences might have been with WW

"What should my calories be?" I am sure at some point you asked yourself that question While calories are extremely important I would say 80% of your results will come from calories the remaining 20% would come from tracking macros.

Is Breakfast really the most important meal of the day? I remember as a kid hearing that. When I decided to pursue my degree in nutrition was when I found out the truth.

With that said these 5 breakfast rules will help to jumpstart your day...save you a ton of calories and help to improve your rate of fat loss.
