Gym Etiquette
So, you realize its time to take your workouts to the next level in order to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Perhaps you've outgrown those dumbbells in your dusty basement or you are bored with your current workouts. Maybe the variety of exercise possibilities in a gym is a motivator. Navigating the maze of equipment in a gym can be daunting; navigating the unwritten rules and unseen territory of other users' workouts can be even more confusing. Many people find a gym, particularly the weight-lifting area, intimidating.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Pat Barone
Permanent weight loss...
- is the only weight loss worth spending your money on
- is for 5 or more years
- happens less than 1 percent of the time
My Story:
In 1996, I was completely fed up with dieting, yo-yo weight regain and the rising dosage of antidepressants my doctors were recommending. Frustrated and angry, I decided I would lose weight permanently.
My doctors couldn’t help me. Nutritionists, personal trainers and celebrity diet gurus didn’t have the answer. So, I set out to figure out the keys to permanent weight loss on my own.
After losing over 70 lbs and keeping the weight off for over five years, my research indicated I'd entered an elite club of people who achieve successful, permanent weight loss. And everyone was asking for help! I founded Catalyst Coaching LLC with the mission of helping others lose weight permanently, so they would not have to do it over and over again.
I first became a certified Weight Management Consultant, then a certified Personal Trainer and, finally, a certified life coach. Together this three-pronged approach targets the three areas of permanent weight loss: nutrition, exercise, and THE MIND!!!

How to get started
To get thin, learn to think thin!
It's all in the mind! In order to lose weight permanently, changing physical things like eating and exercising are only part of the picture.
We need to make adjustments to our mental approach, our emotional attitudes and our spiritual connection to ourselves in order to lose weight and not have it return.
