Don't be seduced by vanity goals.

Many people cite the desire for a perfect beach body or washboard abs as their main motivator for exercise. What we all really want is to feel confident and great in our bodies.

A personal training routine aimed at quickly changing your body’s appearance is not sustainable as part of a long term fitness plan. Over time, these practices can be harmful as muscles overdevelop and slowly weigh down our bodies. Bodybuilding can be done safely, but it’s not the path to lasting results for most people.

Aggressive routines and vanity goals can easily lead to frustration, burn-out, and chronic pain.

You can achieve a body you’re proud of without damaging it in the process.

When you treat your body with care and respect, it shows in your physique, your energy, your face, the way you move. It’s magnetic!

Don’t be taken in by short-sighted goals. Strive for functional strength and mobility, energy, a healthy lifestyle, and a fitness routine that you can happily sustain for years.

A fitter body – and more body confidence – will soon follow!

We created Sanctuary Body as an alternative to the typical gym full of self-conscious crowds and ego-driven lifting. Our trainers help clients achieve strength, flexibility, and vitality for the long haul – without impossible standards and perpetually sore bodies. Schedule your New Client Consult today.
