I was a science major in college. I also spent a great deal of time tutoring medical students in their biochemistry and organic chemistry courses.
So I KNOW full well what it means to be short on time.
You can do the 5x5 because:
1) It's 3 times per week.
2) There are long rest intervals in-between sets....therefore you can STUDY or READ in-between sets. The adrenaline is a wonderful stimulus to read fast and understand. Try it sometime.
3) Eclipse is a 24 HOUR GYM. Therefore you can come as late as you want and still get your workout completed.
My strategy to all of you students and working people from Makati and Ortigas who are dying to train at Eclipse but think it is "too far"?
Train on Wednesday night, Friday night (go at 10pm-2am....traffic is manageable) and Sunday.
Therefore you still have Saturdays to do out and drink beer, and Sundays are a slow traffic day..and you probably are not working. Wednesday is probably the only "difficult" day.
So that's all I'm asking...ONE difficult day a week.
Do you want RESULTS? Well you had better be willing to sacrifice. If you've been training at other gyms and (God forbid) have been spending P500-P1000 per session on a nitwit physical therapist turned personal trainer and don't like what you see, come to Eclipse and I'll write your 5x5 and follow it up with you on a regular basis for NO EXTRA CHARGE. This plus if you don't get AT LEAST a 10% increase on all of your lifts (but usually it's closer to 20-30%) in 8 weeks, your 8 weeks will be FREE. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?!?
WE GUARANTEE RESULTS!!! Obviously you must train 3 times per week and follow what I've written, and the guarantee will stand. Consistancy is the key, so meet me half-way.
If you want that "Summer Body", you had better get moving, if you really want to turn heads at the beach. Summer is 6 months away, and if you want to look like our model on our flyer (Coach Arcie), I need 6 months to make it happen...meaning well-developed and mega-ripped.
