Inner Strength Training (IST) is “Job One”
Q. Why is it important to start my physical fitness change path with mindset work?
A. Most failed attempts at physical fitness and other success limits can be directly traced to mental blocks.
Q. Why should I continue to work on my mindset when I am noticeably moving forward toward my goals?
A. As you move forward into uncharted territory, you will find new limits. Routine Inner Strength Training can help you be a person who consistently meets limits with positive energy and strong resolve.
In the end, our limits are less about what we know at a conscious level and much more about what we sub-consciously believe… our core beliefs are usually formed early in life and are simply the meanings we make of experiences in our lives. What we believe about ourselves and the world in any moment, dictates all of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. (Three great indicators of our current mindset)
Our beliefs are either limiting or empowering and they are moving targets… do you fear or welcome failure? Is failure a “bad” word? When you hit an obstacle in life, are you excited or anxious? Do you ware failure as an identity or see it as valuable information for the next round? Are you angered by an unexpected result or intrigued by its possibilities? Is it really a “dog-eat-dog” world? Do you commit easily or do you have little faith? The list goes on…
Bottom Line: Our limits are perceptions that are directly related to our limiting core beliefs, our belief systems are completely malleable and, Inner Strength Training (IST) provides fast and permanent results.
If your beliefs are limiting you in any way… that’s worth changing. If you want to push to new heights, be proactive in your Inner Strength Training. Our certified Inner Strength Trainers are ready to put you on the path to success today.

How it works…
We understand that everyone’s journey is a bit different but on the path to optimal inner strength, there are some constants… the basic core belief structure, the level of effort required to change and the therapies that work.
While new therapies like Coaching and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) have dramatically changed the landscape of mental fitness change work and results are coming faster and easier, as with any fitness program you can be sure this piece will require some effort. Let’s look at the nuts and bolts…
The IST approach to optimal mental fitness:
1. Identify and map core beliefs (Both Limiting and Empowering)
2. Map current state of mind and the desired changes (Desired Outcome)
3. Check the ecology of the proposed changes
4. Set a change path that address all six logic levels and applies appropriate therapies
5. Implement emotional changes
6. Cement changes by pushing forward into new physical success
7. Maintain success with group support, regular mental fitness activities and continued forward motion

Our specialties include…
Coaching: The art and science of assessing values and motivation, setting measurable goals, defining focused action plans and using validated behavioral change tools and techniques in order to develop competencies and remove blocks to valuable and sustainable life changes. (Wikipedia)
Counseling: a relatively short-term, interpersonal, theory-based process of helping persons who are basically psychologically healthy resolve developmental and situational problems. Also known as “Talk Therapy”.
Belief System Change Work: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)… a relatively new therapy or technology developed in the 60’s as reliable method of effecting deep, sub-conscious emotional change and foundational congruency. This is our magic bullet and it’s an extremely valuable tool in our tool kit.
Bottom line...
Inner Strength Training is important as a preparation step in a comprehensive fitness program and a great maintenance component……..
While each of these therapies work at different mental levels and each is effective with people in differing states of mind…they all effect physical changes in the brain by reprogramming stored beliefs.
In the end, a process that removes mental limits, prepares the body with essential nutrition and cements the changes physically via appropriate exercise… provides an excellent opportunity for long term success.
