If we had a dime for every time we heard the phrase(s):

“Getting old sucks”
“I just hurt everywhere because I’m old”
“My arthritis is the reason why I hurt”

These are some of the biggest mental blocks and can be very debilitating for people.

Your thoughts shape your world!There is power in your tongue. You’re either going to drive yourself into hurting more or your positive thoughts will help bring you out of pain.

Change your brain. Change your pain

We consistently see people who are in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s who live better lifestyle because of their commitment to consistency and the way they think about their condition. But it doesn’t stop there. We see people of all ages and ability levels and give them the confidence to achieve their own personal goals.

If you’re on the verge of having surgery to get out of pain. If
You haven’t gotten any answers for your condition. If something hasn’t worked for you yet then reach out to us.

We can help you. We can help change your life!

The assessment is the first step. It’s the most important step. It’s where we start to build the foundation.

We had a potential client come in yesterday for an assessment. She had an eye opening experience. She had been dealing with pain for the past 2 years, had been to multiple bouts of physical therapy, and we helped her relieve most of her pain in about 30 minutes.

She was pretty emotional about her experience with us. She had hope again.

We don’t just guess on what’s wrong with you. We have a system to figure out what’s going on.

You won’t have a band-aid slapped on your symptom. We will dig to find the cause of the pain, and give you a glimpse of what it will take to move you in the right direction.

Your program is built for you through the assessment, and your breakthrough is right on the other side of consistency

This is so true.

Your discipline comes from an accumulation of habits, and those habits are done whether you feel like it or not.

We hear this a lot: “I just can’t motivated”.

The truth is: you will never be motivated if you don’t start.

Your motivation comes along with the habit of getting up and getting the work done, whether you feel like it or not

The #1 thing you can add to your squat to improve the lift, get stronger, and avoid injury: Push your feet through the ground when you're standing up. The more force you put into the ground the more force returns back to your body.

The good news is that you can use this cue for EVERY exercise you do.

Try it! Feel the magic happen!

Congrats to Debbie Sanfelippo on being Member of the Month for our JC location!

Debbie has been coming to the gym for about 6 months, after retiring from being a Nurse. She is on our Elevate program and does a great job of taking initiative, working hard, and being an encouraging part of the gym for others. Debbie has made great progress in the short amount of time, and we look forward to helping her make progress in the future.

Here is what Debbie has to say about Ignite: "I am so thrilled to have found Ignite Gym in Jeff City. I was very interested in making time for exercise program which at my age I feel is very important to maintain strength and flexibility. Chad and Brent are fantastic about setting up specific weekly exercise programs as you achieve and improve. If you are wanting a tailored personal program Ignite is the gym to join. I look forward to coming to the gym in the years to come."

Are you bound to the desk for work?

Most people who sit at a desk are usually dealing with chronic low back or neck pain.

The site of pain is not usually where it's originating from. The pain is referred to the low back, from the hips; and the neck pain is referred from the shoulders/shoulder blades. There is compression of your spine that will also cause some pain, but by getting the muscles to stabilize then it should help alleviate some of the problems.

Here is a good Hip Stability and Shoulder Stability exercise set to help with your desk job:

Hip Stability:
1) Side Lying Hip Internal Rotation 12x/side https://youtu.be/fPc7gWEjths
2) Side Lying Hip External Rotation 12x/side https://youtu.be/gLqZExq4sKc
3) Side Lying Hip Abduction 12x/side https://youtu.be/DOn6kcAyP_0
4) Prone Hip Extension 12x/side

5) Hip Lift 12x

4) Mini Band Shoulder Flexion 12x

Congrats to Ron Mudd for being Member of the Month for Honey Creek!

Ron is a native of Jefferson City, MO and lives here with his wife Teresa. Ron has three children: Cortney (36), Carson (25), and Conner (22). He also has three grandchildren: Daniel (7), Dylan (4) and Hadley (4 months). Ron is a Financial Advisor/Partner at Renkemeyer and Renkemeyer Associates. In his free time, Ron like to go hunting and play golf. When Ron turned 50, the feeling of getting old kicked him into gear. He had his first grandson and was motivated to get into better shape to be around for him. At first, he flirted with some exercise, started walking, went to the gym here and there, but know if he wanted to get serious he needed to hire a trainer. He knew Jennie LeCure, which used to work at Ignite and is a family member of Ron. That's how he got introduced to us, and three years later, he now has his sons Carson and Conner working out with him!

Here is what Ron has to say about Ignite: "I began at Ignite thinking it would be a short term "kickstart" to get me back into the gym. I quickly realized how out of shape I was and that I was going to need continued professional guidance to get and maintain the level of health I wanted. Jennie and Chad had their work cut out for them but have been amazing in helping me navigate aches and pains and lack of flexibility. Having a trainer has definitely been key. Chad is constantly giving me little exercises or stretches that I would NEVER do independently. Three years in, I can safely say I'm in the best shape I've been in 30 years. Training has also become a family event with my sons Carson and Conner joining the training sessions. Although I don't ALWAYS look forward to training, it has become a twice a week ritual that I do enjoy and greatly benefit from. Training with Chad at Ignite has made all the difference."
