Did I catch your attention, THAT IS ME!
 
I’ve been working with Frankie at .trainingsolutions the last 7 months and am so proud of how strong I look and feel.
 
When I first reached out to Frankie, I was mentally, emotionally, and physically struggling.. HARD. I was working through some serious grief after losing a loved one. My physical health had started to rapidly decline & I was losing myself. My health is something I deeply value. It is the root of my joy & without it, the life I want does not exist. I needed help to get it back. I needed guidance & support. I needed someone I could learn from; A TRUSTED RESOURCE who values science & a balanced lifestyle as much as I do. I needed ZERO bullsh*t, quick fixes, magic pills, or shortcuts. I wanted something real & personal. I was looking for long-term solutions for my health, not a cookie-cutter plan. After seeing some fellow coaches share their experience & successes working with Frankie, it was clear he was the resource I was looking for. 
 
WORKING WITH FRANKIE HAS BEEN SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE THAN I COULD EVER HAVE EXPECTED!
 
I did not feel deprived or restricted. I had freedom to make my own choices and flexibility to have many of them. At no point did our work get in the way of my life (holidays, family/friends, parties, vacations, etc.). I saw progress consistently WITHOUT perfection. Frankie was 100% supportive of me being human the whole time. I tried new things & approaches, took notes, & listened to my body. Frankie knows his sh*t & cares about sharing only high-quality information that allows you to make the best decisions for your health. Friends.. there is so much misinformation out there that is truly harmful. This guy has your back & is looking out for you! He even guided me through addressing some digestive issues & very frustrating hormonal issues & I’m happy to report major improvements that are literally changing my life as I feel stronger & healthier than ever!
 
Frankie, you are worth every penny 10x over. Truly.  Thank you and cheers to working together in perpetuity because I can only imagine where the future will take us!

Our new home is opening to the public in THREE DAYS!!! Things are strange but so are we so that certainly won’t stop us from doing what we love to do.
We are a small, private facility that provides a safe environment to train in. I’m talking a fully equipped gym ALL to yourself and your coach. And if you don’t need access to equipment but want high-quality guidance and support, we offer virtual formats for every service we provide. We love your guts and want you to stay healthy. Keep moving.

We open in 3 days. Opening day may look a little different and that’s totally ok. Whether you can physically be here for it or you can see it virtually, I am so proud of these two coaches for there consistent positivity, strive to educate themselves, and their dedication to their clients to simply be the very best.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, to my husband, schuld/caifano brothers and sisters, schuld/caifano parents, friends, and myself who all played a very important role in this project. Words will never express my gratitude.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes we work a little harder to achieve our goals. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun in the process. Cheers and let the fun begin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How we choose to interact with others is a powerful opportunity to promote health in ourselves, the ones we love, & our communities at large. ⁠
⁠
Because relationality is a fundamental aspect of our humanity, our interactions define who we are while also playing a significant role in our health. The neurochemical responses that occur before, during, & after positive social interactions support a deeply healing & spiritual process. ⁠
⁠
Broken (or lack of) connection and negative social interactions trigger anxiety, putting us in a state of fear. The body cannot discern between types of fear (I could die vs. I could be judged) & responds with a spike in cortisol. Cortisol causes functions that are non-essential to the fight-or-flight response to be altered or shut down so that our protective & defensive mechanisms can kick in. If we are in a perpetual state of anxiety-induced fear, it can negatively impact our immune system, cardiovascular function, reproductive system, memory, & cognition.⁠
⁠
On the other hand; strong connection with loved ones, intimacy, & pleasant social interactions release oxytocin & dopamine which promote healthy cardiovascular function, improved cognition, higher motivation, better mood, & even our ability to communicate more effectively. ⁠
⁠
Our health & wellbeing are dependent on the quality of our connections to one another. Bring attention to your social behaviors and how you interact with people.

Discover the power you possess to be a catalyst for better health. ⁠

So much power is held in the words we use when we talk to ourselves. Let your self-talk language come from a place of compassion. Try reframing the conversation and focusing your energy on all the opportunities ahead and potential you possess. One simple word can initiate a ripple effect that leads to transformation.
