Children learn about health, fitness and nutrition from their parents.

These two are lucky ones.
What a great time of the year to start exercising.

Being tired isn’t discipline... It’s just being tired. 😅

Just because many people are doing something doesn’t mean it becomes sensible all of a sudden. You see it all the time: gyms nationwide, full of people calling a 40 to 60 minute grind “HIIT.” But if you’re pacing yourself for that long, it’s not high intensity. It’s just fatigue management.

Proper HIIT is short because it has to be. You push near your maximum, then rest long enough to do it again, maybe six to ten rounds in total. That’s it. Beyond 20 minutes, you’re no longer training your anaerobic system; you’re just getting tired and calling it discipline.

Smashing yourself for the sake of it isn’t smarter, fitter, or tougher; it’s just sloppy programming dressed up as effort. Train with intent. Build conditioning, not a random mess.

💪 🦴 You can't buy bone density, but you can train for it.

It seems like everyone's looking for the magic pill (or injection). Osteoporosis affects both men and women — and no, you can’t buy your way out of it.
There’s no pill, powder, or injection that replaces what consistent strength training does.

Your bones respond to stress.
When you lift, push, pull, or move against resistance, your body gets a clear message:
“We need these bones to stay strong.”

Over time, this builds more than muscle. It builds structure, stability, and long-term protection against falls and fractures.

Here’s what consistent, evidence-based training delivers:
✅ Increases bone mineral density and strengthens joints
✅ Builds muscle that protects your skeleton
✅ Improves balance, posture, and coordination
✅ Boosts metabolism and supports healthy body composition
✅ Enhances mental health and reduces anxiety
✅ Increases energy, confidence, and overall resilience
✅ Reduces the risk of falls, fractures, and chronic disease

You can’t buy those results — you have to train for them.
That’s why every session at CreightonPT is led by registered professionals who understand how to apply the right type of stress, at the right time, for the right person.
This isn’t random exercise — it’s purposeful training that builds strength, fitness, and health for life.

F.I.R.E - The body shaper

Jen has seen a noticeable change in her physique over the years.

🚨 New Study Alert – One-Set Training Works! 🚨

A fresh paper just compared single-set resistance training done to failure (FAIL) vs stopping with 2 reps in reserve (2-RIR).

💪 The results?

Both groups got stronger and bigger.

FAIL gave a slight edge for muscle growth & power.

Strength & endurance gains were nearly identical either way.

People got better at judging their RIR over time.

⚡ What this means for you:

If you’re short on time, one set per exercise can still build serious muscle.

Going to absolute failure might give you a small extra boost, but stopping just shy is almost as effective—and can cut down on fatigue & injury risk.

👉 Bottom line: You don’t always need marathon sessions. One smart set can deliver.

Creighton Personal Training always uses evidence based methods to get our clients results in half the time.

Everyone’s out here wasting hours on “fitness hacks” and having meetings about "what should we all do" while the real science is clear: VO₂ max is one of the biggest markers for health and longevity.

That’s not my opinion — that’s guys like Dr. Peter Attia and even the American Heart Association.

You want to live longer, feel sharper, and not gas out walking up stairs? Stop sitting on your hands, spending more time listening than doing and get in ICE. It’s evidence-based, time-efficient, and raises your VO₂ max.

Problem solved with simple, evidence based methods.

2025 Update - After speaking with an athlete about her recovery:

Track Your Heart Rate Variability for Maximum Sports Performance!

Ever wonder what's all the buzz around sports watches and fitness trackers? Nowadays, these wearable devices are everywhere. You can see people using them in the gym, on the street, and even in bed while sleeping. In 2024, global sales topped 200 million units, and demand is still climbing.

As you probably know, these gadgets display a number of health and performance indicators, such as your daily steps, calories burned, deep sleep duration, and so on. They also show your heart rate (HR), which is one of the most important factors in overall health and physical performance.

Once you know your HR, you can easily track your heart rate variability or HRV. This number measures the variation in time between each heartbeat. The latest fitness and activity trackers are able to collect meaningful HRV data and turn it into valuable insights.

But why is the heart rate variability important, and how does it impact your performance in the gym?
