    From Stuck to Strong: One Step at a Time

There are mornings when we wake up and think, “I’ll start tomorrow.” There are workouts we almost skip. There are days when making a healthy choice feels like too much effort… And if you’ve ever felt that way, let us tell you something really important: The difference between people who stay “stuck” and people who see results isn’t about who has the most energy…It’s about who knows how to create it. The truth is: Energy comes from action, not the other ....

    The Energy Habits That Make or Break Your Day

    Same Actions, Different Results—Campbell Personal Trainers on Mindset That Matters

    From Weighted Steps to Shared Success: Inside the Spring Ruck Series

    Over the past several weeks, a dedicated crew of Method3 Fitness partners took on an epic challenge: training for a technical day hike at the breathtaking Mt. Tamalpais—and they crushed it! Led by Coach Yvonne, this 6-week Ruck Series was designed to progressively build stamina, strength, and confidence through weekly hikes and midweek street ruck workouts. Participants started with lighter weight and shorter hikes and gradually increased distance and difficulty. Throughout the series, they learned how to wear weight safely, improve posture, and master trail etiquette (yes, learning that “on your left!” means stay right was a thing!). Midweek Ruck classes ....

    Stronger Than You Know: The Progress You Don’t Always Feel

    Our San Jose Personal Training Coaches need you to imagine something for a minute. You’re climbing a mountain... The kind that makes your legs and lungs burn… and makes you question WHY you ever wanted to climb the mountain in the first place. You don’t know how much further you have to go. You just know it hurts. At some point, you stop and ask yourself, “Should I just turn around?” And that’s when someone right behind you says: “Take ten more steps. You can’t see it, but you’re almost at the top.” You hesitate. You don’t believe it. But you take those ten steps. And when you do? You ....

    Meal Prep Without the Prep: Easy Wins for Busy Nights

    Not a fan of meal prep? We get it! Spending hours chopping, cooking, and portioning out food for the week sounds great in theory… but some weeks? It can feel like too much. The good news?

Here’s what that looks like: Proteins: Rotisserie chicken, canned tuna, hard-boiled eggs, pre-cooked shrimp Carbs: Microwave quinoa, frozen brown rice, whole wheat wraps Veggies: Pre-washed salad greens, baby carrots, ....

    The 80/20 Rule for Fitness: How Willow Glen Personal Training Helps You Focus on What Works
