Supersizing and the beat goes on

Oct 16



"Do something. If it don't work, do something else. No idea is every that crazy."

Jim Hightower.



The problem with today's fitness business, is that on one hand you have a lot of new-old ideas as just about everything has been tried or investigated, more of the same with a new spin. What is not addressed, is the efficiently or effectiveness of what is being promoted. Take aerobics classes. Ask any person who frequently attends the classes how much weight they have lost or what improvements it has made in their physical appearance. Some have gone to those classes for years and made little improvement. Now I am not blaming the instructors as most look and keep fit, what is lacking is accountability and measurement of effectiveness instead of some pictures to promote what you will look like if you attend this new and improved class. This is also why the fitness business or gyms are having problems with getting and above all, retaining memberships........there are very few real people success stories to validate the business.
