Live Longer, Stronger
Look Younger.
More Muscle
Stronger Bones
Less Time Exercising!
A lot of Health and Fitness facilities talk a good talk about their
equipment, staff and flooring but at Abstract, our mission is for
YOU to Live Stronger, Longer! It’s not about us-It’s about you!!
Save Time- Live Stronger- Look Younger - No Contracts- Private
Training.
So lets talk a little about what Health and Fitness benefits a new
client should expect:
Fat Loss
As you will see below, we are losing muscle every year of life
after the age of 25. We are becoming fatter as people and a
nation. According to the newest statistics over 81% of America is
overweight(over fat). This is not a good thing.
At Abstract we help our clients lose as much as 22 lbs. of fat in
only 8 weeks! This is a huge change when you understand that
10 lbs. of fat is the size of a basketball. Through proper exercise,
diet, motivation and accountability our clients lose on average 2
1/2 pounds of fat per week with only two 15 minute workouts. This
is a total training time of just four hours over two months. When
looking for changes in the body remember, it’s not about how
much exercise, it’s about good exercise!! (Please see our Abstract
Challenge page for latest winner!)
New Lean Muscle
As we age we lose muscle,in fact, according to research, we lose
it at a rate of 1/2 a pound a year. That is a loss of 5 lbs. of lean
muscle per decade. This loss of muscle drops our metabolic rate
by 7% every 10 years. Ever wonder why you seem to eat the
same or less as you did when you were 25 but the fat still comes
on? What is the answer to this old problem? Less calories burnt
because we have less lean muscle. By the way, this is a factor of
disuse not aging.
Our clients will see a change in their bodies very quickly. In fact,
usually within 6-8 weeks(if the client comes in with the right
attitude)most will see an increase of 3 lbs. of lean muscle. New
muscle will make a very dramatic change in not only how they
feel but also on their metabolism. This new muscle will equate to
an increase of around 100-130 more calories burnt at rest and a
reversal of years of loss! More muscle will allow our client to lose
fat faster and keep it off.
Stronger Bones
People after the age of 25-30 begin to lose bone at a rate of 1%
year. In just 10 years we will have lost 10% of our bone density.
Most of us have heard about this condition, it has become almost
epidemic, this is called Osteoporosis. Thats the bad news.
The good news is that through proper exercise(Abstract
strength training progam) people like you can stop and
reverse this bone loss! Not only will their muscles get
stronger but their bones will also. Some of our
clients have seen an increase in bone density by
as much as 16% in less than a year! This new
bone helps our clients to take control of a vital
part of their aging process- helping them live
Younger and Stronger.
More Time!
Time is of great importance to all of us.
Life is going at an all time fast pace.
When looking at an exercise program
how many of us have 3-5 hours a
week to devote to getting in better
shape? If you are typical, your
lucky to just stay ahead of what
keeps being heaped upon you.
At Abstract Bodyworks
we save you time. How
would a weekly program
of only 30 minutes fit into
your busy life? How will an
exercise program designed
for you to achieve “3 times
the results in 1/10th the
time” affect the health goals
you have set for yourself?
Understand that this program
will build strength, new bones,
fight Type II diabetes and allow you
to save your important extra time for
other parts of your life!! As a matter of
fact, many of our experienced clients
train only 15 minutes a week. Now that is a
great Return On Investment!

What our clients are saying...
“I am 59 years old, and I have been training at Abstract
Bodyworks for about 4 months. During this time, my
two weekly workouts took me less than 30 minutes but
they really changed my life. Infact, I am much leaner
and stronger than I was at 30! I can’t believe that I could
make such a difference in my health and fitness in so
little time.I have to say the Abstract program probably saved my life!”
John A.
“I am 39 years old and I weighed 275 lbs. and diets
had never worked for me. I certainly did not believe
that working out for only 15 minutes twice a week and
cutting my calories was going to work either. However
to my surprise’ “8 weeks” later on after completing the
Abstract Fat loss Challenge, I had lost over 30 lbs of fat!
The great thing is not only am I leaner, but I am much
stronger too.”
Todd B.
“I want to tell you about the great things that have happened to me by working out at Abstract. Since I have
been doing the Abstract exercise program I am not
losing ground i.e muscle loss, bone loss etc. I am growing stronger, not weaker and can still do all the things I
could do in my 20’s. I have more muscle, energy and I
feel younger. You can’t beat that for only 15 minutes
a week! The team at Abstract is now like part of my
family!”
