Mental Fitness: The Next Chapter At Charged!

After years of one on one training, this much is clear: Physical and mental health are inextricably linked.

Brett and I have witnessed remarkable transformations in our clients.  It gives us immense satisfaction to play a vital role in their fitness journey. The pursuit of physical change is full of self discovery and mental awareness. For some, achieving a physical transformation results in the automatic alignment of their mental health. For many others, however, physical transformation cannot be achieved without first addressing their mental and emotional health.

We've seen many people work so hard toward their physical goals only to come up short, sometimes dramatically so, because of mental and emotional roadblocks standing in their way.

We went into this business because we believe in people. We believe in the sweeping power of fitness and health. We believe that we are uniquely suited to instruct and assist anyone who is willing to believe in their own power to change. And try as we do to address our client's underlying mental and emotional struggles, our expertise, unfortunately, stops at the physical.

It has always been our goal to make Charged! a place where people can work on their entire self. So with that in mind, we'd like to introduce you to Nicole O'Brien. Nicole is a psychotherapist (in the final stages of the doctoral grind), as well as a faculty member at Fairfield University, with a passion for fitness and wellness.  Just as Brett & I believe ourselves to be uniquely suited to help our clients achieve their physical goals, we believe Nicole to be the perfect addition to Charged!.  Through therapy, she will help her clients to identify and knock down the mental and emotional barriers that prevent them from achieving total health.

Nicole will be writing the next Charged! blog, and we believe our readers will get a sense, immediately, why we are so excited to start this next chapter!
