The BodyMedia FIT Armband is a great tool to use with your clients. When you are only with them a few hours a week, it is a way to help monitor their lifestyle 24/7 and then help them to realize where they need to make change. The feedback is so motivating it helps to create behavior changes and clients are even more excited about their progress. It helps retain clients - it completes the full circle. I've had so many clients say that the Armband was the best suggestion I've ever given them - along with our workouts - the Armband keeps them honest and on track the rest of the week.

With BodyMedia FIT, I encourage my members and clients to use the device for five reasons: 1. It's a customized experienced based off their body and what their body needs. BodyMedia FIT is a tool that facilitates and guides your growth. 2. It gives a greater advantage in the process of changing one's lifestyle: losing weight, adjusting to the weight loss and then maintaining the weight loss. 3. With BodyMedia FIT, you assess, measure and gauge changes metabolically so the user can "see" what's literally happening with their body. 4. It provides a metabolic range-we all have days where we either want to push harder or maybe have an easier day, this is a great tool in creating an activity range. Lastly, in today's world, we measure or assess so many things in our lives in order to create better logistics for our lifestyle. My clients and members look for data to improve their performance both professionally and personally, BodyMedia FIT is a perfect solution.

Introducing BodyMedia into our health club has been a great asset! Many people underestimate how much food they consume and overestimate how much activity they do on a daily basis. It is extremely helpful for clients to see how many calories they are burning every minute of the day. I encourage them to try different activities so they can compare the calorie expenditure on different machines and in different classes. My clients are surprised to see how inactive they are on days that they don't exercise or sit at their desk all day. This encourages them to be more active in small ways; taking the stairs instead of the escalator or walk to work instead of driving. It also has helped many clients to see that "burning calories" is not synonymous with "coming to the gym". You can burn a lot of calories just by doing simple every day activities such as shopping, gardening, cleaning and walking.

The BodyMedia armband is that missing tool for weight loss. I have been working with clients on their nutrition and exercise for 11 years with some great success and not so great success. Many clients will do well for a limited time and then go back to their old habits or lose motivation because they strayed from their healthy lifestyle. With the BodyMedia armband system, they can always be held accountable even if they don't have a good day. The detail and accuracy of the calories burned really keep clients' attention which is the one of the most challenging aspects of weight loss and achieving a consistent healthy lifestyle. Many clients will get almost immediate results which helps keep the motivation up as well. The BodyMedia armband has made nutrition counseling and personal training more effective for my clients.

Often when training people, I will be asked, "How many calories do you think we burned in this workout?" In the past I could only guess. With BodyMedia, I can now tell them what I typically burn during the same workout and then help them better estimate what they are burning. This has been very useful for my clients in determining how to adjust the intensity, duration, and frequency of their workouts, while also motivating them to eat in a more healthy fashion.

I would like to recommend the use of the BodyMedia device to help you meet your fitness goals and even go beyond! it is straight-forward to use, provides an excellent support structure for determining and tracking calories, which I have found is key in helping people get to their ideal weight and fitness level.
