Visiting "I Think Fit" Gym - With Heath Murray

With fall approaching, I wanted to talk about how important health and fitness is. For the last two and a half years, I have been working with Heath Murray, owner of I Think Fit Gym. Heath helped me devise a workout plan to burn fat and increase muscle definition that consisted of three day sessions targeting specific muscle groups and having me do three days of cardio on my own. Working together, I have lost 16 lbs. of body fat, 4 lbs. gained in muscle mass and which coincides with a 10% total loss in body fat.

“Kudos to her, I think she’s done a real good job and I think she feels a lot better about herself,” Heath said. This is true and not only do I feel better about myself, my overall health is better, too. My immune system is built up and I am not getting sick as much, I’m sleeping better and the fact that I have much more energy is so important. If you have any health or fitness goals, I strongly suggest working with a trainer.

When I tell people about what I did, people are shocked about the financial commitment. Heath put it into perspective by telling me that we don’t think about how much we spend on a car payment and a house payment, but to invest in ourselves and our well-being, it’s something special.

“We have to overcome a lot of [that] in the profession because most people don’t see the value in the service when comparing to other gym memberships like 24 Hour Fitness where you pay $20 a month,” Heath explained. “But what we’re going to do is we will bring someone in, hold them accountable, put them on a calorie and goal specific plan and get them going in the direction they want.

There is a bit of a financial commitment, but doing so keeps people showing up,” Heath said. Heath helped me realize how important it was to invest in myself and really get the “wow” factor in my aesthetics.

 “Those are things you just can’t put a price tag on.”

For me, the accountability is huge. I like being on a schedule and it gets me up in the morning. The feeling that I accomplished something early on in the day is really great. Heath gave some pointers for people going in to a fitness program, “Have a goal in mind, see the trainer’s credentials, make sure the atmosphere makes you feel good and most importantly make you connect with the members and that you are going into a family friendly atmosphere.”

I Think Fit also stocks a great line of fitness products called Rock Solid. So it’s a bonus to get my egg whites and protein powder, as well as any other supplements you may need in one stop. I Think Fit Gym has over 30 different camp times available which includes diet tracking, the flexibility of working with different trainers in a small group setting while keeping costs down. For people outside the Omaha Area, they can plan people’s workouts through our website.

If you have any other questions, call Heath at 402-203-8824. Thanks and have a great day!
