Get it all in 2012...

Heroic Fitness News (Get it all in 2012)
How To Get Everything You Want in 2012
Here's to an Epic New Year and to getting everything that you want out of 2012.

Today you have a clean slate with a brand new year spread out in front of you, filled with endless possibilities.

How will you harness your potential to create the very best you? I recommend using the teachings of Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his legendary book 'The New Psycho-Cybernetics'.

Dr. Maltz created the original science of self improvement and success, so who better to turn to when you're ready to take your life to another level. His teachings have stood the test of time.

Take the following and get all that you want out of 2012:

1) Use Your Imagination
If you thought that imaginations were only valued in preschool, think again. One of the key points in 'The New Psycho-Cybernetics' is the technique of using your imagination to reprogram and manage your self image.

You may have been exposed to self improvement strategies that tell you to 'act as if' or to 'fake it till you make it.' Those typically don't work because your self image is still the same.

According to Dr. Maltz, your self image is the key to changing your actions and habits. If you want to lose 50 pounds, you first have to think of yourself as someone 50 pounds lighter.

Spend time in your imagination. See yourself 50 pounds lighter. Experience a day in your life at this slimmed down size. Imagine everything down to the smallest detail.

According to Dr. Maltz, this imagination time will begin to change your self image to that of a person 50 pounds lighter, and your actions and habits will fall into place.

2) Reject Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts will undoubtedly arise as you use your imagination to see your ideal self. "I'm not really going to lose 50 pounds." "I've tried losing weight before and it never works. I'm always going to be overweight." "This imagination stuff is bogus. It won't work for me."

Dr. Maltz says that the instant you receive a negative thought simply dismiss it. Don't spend any time on it at all.

The quicker that you dismiss negative thoughts, the less impact they will have on your self image. Also you'll find that fewer and fewer negative thoughts arise once you get into the habit of dismissal.

3) Be Nostalgic For The Future
It's so easy to be nostalgic for the past, especially when you only remember the good stuff. But what good does it do for you to wish for things that are long gone?

Dr. Maltz recommends developing nostalgia for the future.

In your imagination you've already lost the 50 pounds, so start pining for the future! Your self image will lock onto that picture and your nostalgic feelings will fuel the fire.

4) I'm The Kind Of Person That…
What kind of person are you?

  • I'm the kind of person that loves sweets.
  • I'm the kind of person that hates exercise.
  • I'm the kind of person that can't lose weight.
OR
  • I'm the kind of person that eats fresh and healthy food.
  • I'm the kind of person that keeps fit.
  • I'm the kind of person that maintains an ideal body weight.
Your self image will fulfill any label that you put on yourself. The power is all in your hands.

What kind of a person do you want to be in 2012?

If losing weight is something you'd like to do this year, then call or email me to set up a consultation. I'm the kind of person who LOVES to see clients like you achieve their goals!

Listen and Learn
Download 'The New Psycho-Cybernetics' to your phone or ipod and listen as you commute to work or as you take a brisk walk. The more you listen the more you'll learn.

2012 is about to get a whole lot more exciting.

Don't forget about Bring-a-friend Friday!  Bring-a-friend Friday's our ongoing client appreciation referral program.  I appreciate you being a part of our program, and the highest compliment anyone can give us is their referral of a family member, friend or co-worker.

Heroic Fitness Success Stories  
I had tried every thing to lose weight. I worked out all the time, drank lots of water, ate healthy, and took diet pills but i never saw results. Then I started working out with Kirk, and the weight fell off. It was fun and it wasn't hard. Kirk made it really easy to lose the weight. I started at a size 14 and now I am a size 4. I am so happy with my weight loss, it really has changed my life. I recommend Kirk to every one I know. He is truly a genius and really great person. I told him that he should be training celebrities because he is that good at what he does.

I am Britnie Turner, your Miss North Carolina United States 2009 and 2010.   Also, I was a top 5 finalist in the Miss United States 2010 Pageant.  I will be competing in other state and national pageants this year, and I am looking to improve my chances by getting the best bod possible! 
I have researched trainers over the past 2 years but have never been able to find one who:
1.) Genuinely cares
2.) Really motivates me to do and be my best
3.) Isn't a creep
4.) Is REAALLY worth the money
When I finally found Kirk Huggins Rogers of Heroic Fitness it was through at least 6 direct testimonies from his clients who have achieved amazing results and couldn't stop praising his work! I had to meet this guy, just to see if what everyone was saying could possibly be true.
Well, I tested him out and long story short he is everything you need to get the results you want! I am looking forward to a great year not only preparing for competition but continuing my new life where my mind and body are disciplined and healthy. I am very blessed to have found someone that can help me and push me to finally achieve my goals. Thank you Kirk!

I have been working out avidly since my high school years. I had competed in amateur bodybuilding competitions during my teenage years and had always made physical fitness a priority. Unfortunately life had thrown me a curveball which prevented me from continuing with my passion until 2 years ago when I met Kirk Huggins Rogers of Heroic Fitness.
I had been fighting a losing weight loss battle and hit a plateau with my workout routines. As any athlete knows it is always best to have someone review a program and to have them make adjustments to allow the body to continue making progress. It was Kirk Huggins Rogers’ knowledge and expertise on the subject that made it possible for me to loose more than 38lbs taking me from 235lbs to 197lbs and to shed more that 20% body fat from 32% to 11% over the course of a year!!!! Kirk implemented a custom made meal plan program along with a unique workout regime that he revised as I achieved milestones on my fitness pathway.
I attribute my results to Kirk from Heroic Fitness and his power to inspire and motivate which allowed me to make physical fitness apart of my lifestyle!!!!
