to workout and you know, just to get our bodies

something different. But before it gets started, let me just
give you a little bit of background on him. Keith

So I would like to welcome to the Success With
Women's show none other than mister Keith Turner.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. How you're going about it?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I am doing very well. It is so good to
have you on the show again today. And I tell
you what I know.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You've been on here before.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You've had the group on here, you've had the You've
shown us how to do work our core. You've shown us,
you know, some of the things that we need to
do to get that stomach flatten. You know, You've just
talked about a lot of things the last couple of
times that you've been on the show, But today we
want to look at it from a different perspective. So
(04:52):
I know that you emphasize exercising, eating right, and that
both of these things have to be I'm a lifestyle
and one of your mantras I know is it's not
a game because you have that. I know you have
that on your wall at the facility. So tell us
how important is the mind in this process compared to
(05:16):
a physical workout.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Well, your mind is key to everything. If you don't
if you're not ready mentally, it's not going to happen.
Your friends can push you to go work out and
come work out, but if you're not one of percent
tuned in and you're ready to go, it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
As far as a physical workout is concerned, you won't
even touch it if you're not mentally there.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
It'll be something that people start up and about one
week later, two weeks later, as soon as something interrupts
that work out, it's like as if they were praying
for it to happen. Anyway, interrupt they work out, they
won't get back to it anyway, So it's kind of
it's all mental first starts.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Here absolutely in your experience, though, what are the biggest
mental are emotional barriers people face when trying to lose weight.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Discipline, that's it.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Discipline, it's because you know the thing about it is,
it's not you know.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I hear people say, well, I've been this way for
thirty years and.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Forty years, and I'm like, oh, I hate that statement,
because that's let me know that you haven't made any
growth in thirty or forty years.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
This is how I am. I'm never going to change what.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
At some point, you can change whatever you want to change.
They're disciplined enough to save up money to go on
a cruise if they want to go on a cruise.
You know, I'm telling them truth. They're disciplined enough to
do it. In other words, you're disciplined enough to do
whatever you want to do. Get your nails done consistently,
get their hair done every two weeks. But what about
being disciplined on your eating and getting your body right.
I see a lot of women with beautiful hair, not theirs,
(06:44):
but it's beautiful hair something that you know I see.
I see the nails done, you know, and in beautiful face,
you know, beautiful faces, but the body's jacked up, and
I'm like, why would you put that much time and
effort into part of your body instead of doing the
whole picture?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Get your up. So discipline is the key to everything
with that.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
You know, many people, uh as you said, I know,
they start off strong because you know, coming especially like
coming at the end of the year, we're going to
be going into the new year.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
People going to be talking about New Year's resolution.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
The first thing they want to do is say, well,
you know, for the new year, I want to lose
some weight. So they start off strong, off quickly. What
mindset shift helps people stay consistent for the long term.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
One, make make a decision, you know, and stick to it.
Make a decision and stick to it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Go to court. What do you mean, go to court, Keith,
Go court and get a divorce. Get a divorce, Yeah,
get a divorce from laziness. Divorce laziness, divorce excuses.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
And marry marry commitment, married, dedication, marry self steam. And
once you do these things, once you sit up there
and say, you know what, I'm gonna put me first,
you know, then you'll be successful. You have to set
marks in your life that you want to prepare for.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You want to be successful with this, then what you
want to do is I'm getting ready.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
For a wedding.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Okay, Because these these quick starts and they quickly fall off.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
You know they were looking for a quick fix. It's
not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen. You gotta
leave the quick fixes alone.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Now, let me hold that answer for a second, because
you can get a quick fix and go get surgery
done to your body. But the one thing that that
surgery doesn't do. Two things that it doesn't do. It
doesn't change the organs that's in your body. At least
when you're working out and you're losing weight on your own. One,
you learn how to lose weight. If you don't learn
how to lose.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
It, how are you going to keep it off. You didn't
do the work to get it off, So how are
you going to keep it off? You don't know how
to keep it off.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Second, all your organs inside still look the same. And
the objective in working out and putting that mindset, having
your mindset to do the workout long term is this,
Your organs are slowly dying out as you get older.
They don't get stronger in your fifties and your sixties
and your seventies at that point. I mean, you've all
(09:18):
heard somebody go to the doctor, somebody's father in the
hospital in critical condition, and someone asks, how's your father doing,
and they say, well, they say his organs are failing fast. Well,
everybody who's listening to us right now, their organs are failing.
It's just not fast. So what do you want to
do to to try longevity on your life?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Now this goes right back into long term working out.
You don't really have to work out at age.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty, unless you're obese or something.
Your organs are already strong and getting a little bit stronger.
But by the time you hit thirty five, Between thirty
five and forty, it's going to a plateau out and
then at that point, at some point after that, it's
going to start going down. It won't go down like this,
but it's going to start going down slowly, gradually, but
it's going to showly go down. So now you have
(10:04):
to start working out. You have to start being coming
one with your organs and your body. If you want
to live a little longer, don't put it on God.
Well I'm not going till my time comes. You know,
God gave you, He wishes you life and life more abundantly. Okay,
So he tells you about your eating, so it's up
to you, but it gives you freedom of choice. You
have two twins, and one of the twins wants to
(10:26):
clock his armies up with all the grease and fatty
foods and everything else, and the other one does not.
They want to eat healthy, you know, And you can
splurg don't get it wrong. You can splurish every blue moon.
You just can't do it every week and every other week.
You know one is going to definitely outlive the other.
It is a fact, so you have to put that
time into working out.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah, I mean, and you know what.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I know you say that all the time, and you
you literally try to just beat it into our heads
so that you know we get it. And you know,
I think I think on some level we do get it.
Some of us get it better than others. And I
got and I will be one of those to admit
(11:11):
that you know, I get it, but I also know
that I tend to fall off the wagon.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And like you say, I mean, you know, I ain't
even need to say what you say.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It's okay, fall off the wagon. You know you fall
off the wagon sometimes, okay. But the thing about it
is you have never given up. It's a difference to
somebody who who because so I won't say you fall
off the wagon. I'll say you stumble. There's some who
stumble and regain their balance and there are some who fall.
I fall off the wagon because those who fall have
(11:45):
fallen off the wagon. Those who stumble, they regain their
balance and they keep going.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And that's what you do. So I won't.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Let's let's eliminate the fact that you said, just now,
I fall off the wagon. Not actually you're dumb. You stumble,
but you get back into it because when I get
on your case, you're like, I don't want to hear
his mouth.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Let me go ahead and do this, and you come
right back.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
And then when you weigh in there like madden A
lost seven pounds, mad At lost five pounds, not to
get in doing their stomach is coming down and everything.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
And I'm never going to give up on you. If
you don't give up on yourself.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Wow, yeah, you really don't.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I have to admit that you don't give up on us,
even though I know sometimes we probably frustrate you to
no end, but you do not give up on us.
So tell me how much does self image or self
talk influence someone's weight loss success, because I know that
is one of the things that you do a lot.
(12:39):
You do a lot of inspirational talk to us. You
give us a lot of things too. Like I said,
that that's in our heads so and personally me and
I'm sure a lot of us that go to that
facility will say the same thing. If I go to
pick up a cookie, I'm gonna hear Keith turning saying
(13:00):
to me, oh, yeah, eat that cookie.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
When you come in money the way in, just have
your five dollars ready for.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You know, and are you going the store? And you
I mean you hear the music, even the music that
you play. I mean, I've been in the store and
I'll hear that music playing, and I want to start
doing me across the chest, okay.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Because it's just the way you tend to do it.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
So tell, like I said, how much does the self
image or the self talk influence someone's weight loss success.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
So you have to love yourself enough to take care
of yourself. You have to stop lying to yourself. I
tell people when you come out your mouth and say,
well I don't look that bad. You the bad, okay,
And that's trying to negotiate. Why settle right there when
you can look just as good as anybody else, not
(13:54):
as provided you get the right trainer. You get it
the right trainer, not all these trainers out here. I'm
keeping it real. I hate to say this about my colleagues,
but it is true. Everybody who has a certificate, who
certified as a trainer, it's not a good trainer. That's
a piece of paper. Check out there before and afters
ask them what have you done? And you got certain
(14:15):
questions you want to ask them? And your people that's
listening right now can call me and say what questions
should I ask these trainers when I'm interviewing them, and
I'll tell them to answer the questions they want to ask.
But you know, once you sit up there and you start,
you love yourself enough to take care of yourself. That's
what's going to make the big difference right there. That's
that's the answer to that question. You got to really
(14:38):
care about yourself. You really do, and stop thinking you do.
But because your actions are going to show it. You
can tell me you care about me all day long,
like you hear me say the gym and wake me
up by hitting me upside my head with a frying pants.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
That's not caring about me.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
But your actions outside of that will show me if
you really care about me. So, ladies, gentlemen, that's listening
to the program right now? Do you really really care
about yourself? It's okay to look out for other people,
but if you're not here eventually, you're not gonna look
out for anybody.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
So why not make it so you're here prior tized
your life. You're here first, you first, so you can
look out for everybody else.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Absolutely, I remember, you know when I asked about the
self image. I remember when I first started with you,
and this was years ago. When I came to you,
you were doing it at your home then, and you
had the mirrors all around the section. And when I
first came to you, I weighed two hundred and twelve pounds.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
You even remember that.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I was two hundred and twelve pounds, And when I
got on that Florida exercise and I looked in the mirror.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I looked at myself. I'm like, oh my god, he
must have trick mirrors up in here. I know I'm
not that big. I'm serious.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
That is what I can saying to myself, because when
I looked at the mirror at my house, it didn't
look like it.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Was what they call skinny mirrors.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, So I kept standing and I saying, oh, yeah,
he got trick mirrors in here.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I don't. I'm not I don't look that big.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
And so the I understand that, you know, with the
self image and what you do the self.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Talk, we have to have that too.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But you instill a lot of that in us too
because of the things that you say to us every day,
and you know how you inspire, how you encourage, and
it's just the things you the examples that you use
and different things like that, and that in itself is
(16:39):
a big, a big help, a big encouragement for anyone
that has been there. And one of the reasons, you know,
I can tell you why I still like you say
when when I say fall off the wagon, then I'm
still there, is because I know now that I look
in that mirror, I don't see two hundred and twelve pounds.
(16:59):
But you know I'm still now, I'm still I know
I'm not where I want to be, and I still
I know I still need to be there. But when
also too, when I first came to you, I couldn't
get up and down off the.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Floor because of my knees.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
My knees were so uh you know, they used to
hurt so bad, and part of it was because of
the weight. And so I know that that sign you
have up there about remember your why, that is always
my whenever I think to myself, oh he did just
that made me man, I'm not going back there.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
He did just Then I think about that, I'm.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Not going back but me, And like that sign says
you know that the trainer is not a good trainer
is going to get on your nerves.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Yes, a really good trainer is going to get.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
On your nerves. Why because he really cares or she
really cares. They're going to get on you when you're
doing wrong. I mean they're going to get on you
when you're doing wrong. Other trainers they want that money.
They're going to when you're doing wrong. That's what you're
doing wrong. It's no accountability. I can really say much
say okay, come on, you went up, Okay, come on,
we gotta get it down.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
That's not caring about you. Let's keep it real and
you can put.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
It in that office and sit down and say what's
going on, what's going on? And that's what separates top
professional trainers from these average gym trainers. No disrespect to
the gym trains, but we keep it in one hundred.
There's a reason why they work at a gym for
somebody else. And the professional trainers who really get it
done have enough people to hold their own personal facility.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
You understand, because they're getting it done.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I don't want to hear a train to say, well
I work here at so and so Fitness because.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
My hours I can't. But you're there now.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I started out just training two hours a day when
I got off of work in my basement.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
But it became impact because you go out. You guys
got results.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
You saw love, but with love comes tough love too,
and you saw it straight and the inspiration of talking
to people at the end of class. Trainers don't do.
They'll let you out when that class is over, you're out.
But when you're speaking to them and you'll let ee
know why they're doing what they need to do, what
they just accomplished, and getting on their cases too, and
(19:15):
then coming back and complimenting them and everything else.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
And you're seeing so many people around you getting it done.
It encourages you and motivates you to get it done.
You're like, wait a minute, this lady came here at
four hundred pounds. She's down one hundred and seventy five
pounds now in a matter of one year. Really you
understand that's motivation.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yeah, it's tough love, but you know I love you.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
You don't like it sometime, but we get it. We
really do get it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
So tell me, Keith, what role does stress, anxiety or
even depression play and weight gain or a lack of progress?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
That is very serious.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Now, I don't do the stress, I don't do the depression,
and I don't do the anxiety.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
The anxiety may hit that mine is a good anxiety.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Anxiety like coming on this show right now, that lets
me know when I was in the ring fighting and
let me know that anxiety said, that means I'm not
taking it for granted.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
I'm on it again.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I dotted every eye and every cross, every t that's
fine for anxiety, but depression and stress. Stress is lack
of organization. You've got so much on your plate and
you're not organized. I don't care if it's stress at work.
Organize your day. You know what you're going to come into.
Depression will stop you every time because you're now taking
time out of your life, valuable time which you will
never ever get back. I'm so depressed, I can't I
(20:42):
just got to shut it down. Then next thing, you know,
you're going to eat the wrong foods because what did
you do? First of all, you bought the wrong foods
that you shouldn't have and you put them in your pantry.
So intelligent people, successful people don't set themselves up to fail.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
If you're serious about your weight loss, if.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You're very serious about the project that you're one you're
trying to accomplish, don't set it in your pantry, don't
bring it in your house. Because the devil. There's a devil,
because it shows there's a god. I'm a true god,
godly man. There's the Devil's job is to tempt you.
He's gonna always try to bring something to you, to
you that craving sweets, sugar, alcohol, whatever it is that's
(21:19):
going to mess you up. And you had to set
right up there in your pantry ready to turn to it.
And notice when it comes most of the time, almost
all the time at night, and almost every weekend, especially
if you make it.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Through the weekdays those weekends.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
It's kind of rough, you understand, So that depression, depression
will will will have people say this to me, I'm
so depressed, you know, I just I just gave up,
and I just I just you know, I just shut
everything down. And I'm like, you can't do that. You
can't do that. That's one of that's not a God.
If you sit up there and say God is good
(21:52):
all the time and all the time God is said,
why people say I never say that God is good period.
I don't have to say all of that. But if
you're going to say that out your mouth and you're
really gonna believe it, then why are you depressed?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Why are you depressed?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
If He's good all the time and everything he's doing
is doing for your good. Reason why you didn't get
that job is because that's not He got something better
for you.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Reason why you didn't accomplish.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
This is because whatever, whatever, whatever, but it's all for
your good now as far as the stress is concerned.
Here's why I message you guys up because you guys give.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Me this excuse. I stress eat. That's crap.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Okay, if you stress eat, why can't you stress eat
on the salad? Why does the stress eat have to
always be with a cake.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
And potato chips and chocolate and alcohol?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Why does the stress eat has to all have to
always be negative? That lets you know that's not a god.
So stress is not a god. I mean you you
just they just said it right then and there. So
I'm like, no, why are you gonna stress eat? How
come you can't stress eat healthy? No one can ever
answer that question. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I think I've been understressed in my younger years. You
understand I wasn't as organized, but write out of things
to do. Matter of fact, it's right here on my desk.
I write up the things to do list. Things to
do okay, and then my things to do list. I
have a busy day.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's organized so I don't have to stress and think
about what I gotta do. If I can't get it done.
I prioritize that if I can't get it done, it
goes over to the next day.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Stop letting it make you use it for an excuse
to eat wrong and pick up weeds or somebody.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Somebody wrote in the comments that they do because it
tastes good.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
One hundred it does the wrong things always taste good
most of the time.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Sometimes the devil will get you the cheat and eat
and you're like, that wasn't even worth it, and I
gotta see Keith Monday now I ate that.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
And then you won't even stop you You'll eat half
of it. You're like, well, I'm not so fishy and
all of it. Absolutely let it go.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, that's true. You right about that.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So tell me when when clients hit a plateau, how
do you help them overcome the mental frustration that comes
with it, because you know that sometimes that happens. You
get to a certain spot and just look like you
cannot do anymore. It won't it won't go off. You
just can't get it to come off anymore.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Very easy, that's very easy. I explained to them how
the body goes. Now, I don't have time to explain
it here, but I explained.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Them how God designed the body to shut down in
case you're on a desert. You're in a plane crash
on the desert, and your body doesn't know whether or
not it's it's what's going on, So it's.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Going to shut down to save you. So they say, your.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Body can go thirty days without food as long as
you have water. I've never gone thirty days without food.
The max I've gone without any food is ten days.
All right, and what's fine. I feel like I can go.
I can keep on going. Once I got past day seven,
I feel like, okay, so on I can go. Now,
you understand, So it's it's I let them know that
(24:54):
you haven't plateaued out. Your body is just giving you
a freeze markt. At that point, you have to adjust
your calorie intake.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
That's one thing you can do.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
You definitely got to adjust your exercise routine and the
adjust the.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Intensity of your workout.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Now we adjust our That's why if you if you know,
you know you can adjust, you can. Cosiund on this.
We don't do the same workouts two days in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Every day.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
It's something different. You've been with me for how long?
You can't tell anybody what we're going to do tomorrow.
And if you know it's going to be a erbics,
you still can't tell what a erbics we're gonna do.
If I'm gonna put some uh something, especially in our
twist in it, what order is going to be in
if I'm gonna put catastenics in it, you don't you
don't know. I always throw your body off. If I
(25:44):
can throw your mind off and have you wonder what
we're gonna do, I'm throwing your body off and it
will never adjust. So you have to be patient through
that little period because it's going to shut down for
about a week maybe two, but it's gonna get right
back in.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
So you'll come down and wait with us.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
You'll go like this for a say you've probably experienced that,
and then it's gonna go like this straight down.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
But you got to hang in there through that period
that it's going to hold up for a second, right,
But it's only for your good hmm.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
So now you've worked with people from all backgrounds, what
do you think separates those who succeed from those who
repeatedly struggle with their weight?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
The mind again, the mindset. The ones who succeed. It's
their mindset.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
The ones who can repeatedly struggle with their weight, it's
it's the mindset. They want to hang around the people
who come on her. It's always come on her, let's
go out to eat yourselthing to eat. You understand, you know, No, no,
we don't have to and it's always somebody's coming in town.
We got to go out and eat. It's always something
(26:51):
like that. The ones who are successful prioritize their life.
The ones who aren't successful don't prioritize, don't even pod
test that day. The ones who prioritize their life.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Here's what we say. Let's say the ones. Let's say
some of the.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Ones who are successful and their sons who are somewhat successful,
and there's who failures, the.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Failures they had.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
No, they're not prioritized at all, but somewhat successful prior
test that day. The ones who are successful, very successful,
prior to hast their life is what I mean. Prioritize
my life. I have to come first, not my kids,
not my grandkids. I have to come first because if
I'm not here, I can't be there for my kids,
and I can't see when grandkids grow up. So you
(27:35):
have to learn how to prioritize your life. Is in
prior testing your life, you have to come first. I
am one eight my kids. If I was married, my
wife would be one A.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I'm one. They're one A. They're not B. Don't get
it twisted. They're not B. But they're not number one.
I have to be number one.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
You have to make yourself number one above all and
everything else. Your job, all the committees you want to
be on it at church, and I'm just being totally honest.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
You can't be on four and five and you all fats.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
Put some of that time to cut out four of
them and stick to one and put the time that
you put into four committees, put it into your health.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Start getting your body together. Because I'm one of the
most unhealthiest places. And like I said, I'm a true
man of God.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
If my church Passagenia's and tell you I love him
because he talks about health too. He had a scare,
he had to get his fat, he had to get
that fat off him. Okay, didn't take you to that point, Okay,
But the bottom line is you've got to organize your health.
And people don't do that. Most people don't but the
ones that's very successful, they got that jewing together. They
(28:40):
organize their health first, which means they're life top priority.
And you see them people going there every day. To
make sure they're going there every day. Now you can
go every day, Madelin, he come home with the wrong foods.
You're defeating the purpose. But at least they're doing something.
But while waste time, don't go and work out like
they do at a gym.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Most people are sucessful at the gym. I was reading
before on air.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Most people are successful but fail at the gym. And
I'm like, Wow, why do they fail at the gym?
Because they don't know what they eat? They think they
can go because they're working out and eat whatever they
want to eat, and you can't do that.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
You can't do that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Wow, right, tize your life prioritize. Well, that's what we
have to start doing.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
How do you get someone to uh, how can someone
rebuild that discipline if they fail that weight loss multiple times?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Because at that point you're going to start getting frustrated.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You are, but who are you hanging around now? I'm
a self.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I have a lot of friends, a lot of male friends,
but I'm still a loner. You know, we get together
certain times, but I'm a loner. A loner has to
be a strong minded person. If you are a weak
minded person, you have to hang around people that's going
in the direction that you want to go. If you're
a strong minded person, you can pretty much meet by yourself,
but you need, you know, have other people that's following you.
(30:00):
And that's motivation. Like I'll meet some of my clients
at the gym at six am in the morning. That
motivates me to get my work out in. You understand,
even a trainer gets to the point where like we
can we can stumble too. We're like, I just don't
feel like it. No, you got to get back into it.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
You got to.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
You gotta get somebody else that's going to motivate you.
So you get around people that's going in the direction
that you're going in, and that's much that makes it
much easier.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
What daily habits are routines? Do you recommend to support
a person's weight goes? And I know you talk about
the discipline part, but what what other habits can would
you recommend.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Learning how to eat even if you're going to eat wrong,
let's just keep it real. If you're going to eat wrong,
stop eating to your full learn how to eat just
enough so you're not hungry. And that's something that people
haven't been told by trainers. Most of the trainers, they
aren't number one rate of training. They don't have that annoyingty.
You got that annoy and God gives.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
You that wisdom.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
You roll with it and tell you spread that word
around everybody, and then you let your word be backed
by action.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Look at his clients. This is over twelve thousand clients.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
What personal trainer do you know that has over twelve
thousand clients and they have a ninety eight percent success rate.
That's everybody that walks through that door, wheelchairs, four hundred pounders,
eighty year olds, and you can verify the eighty My
eighty year olds look good, seventy year olds look good,
twenty year olds, thirty year olds look good. What are
they doing that's getting they're getting it done. We're teaching
(31:33):
you how to eat. It's not just about working out. Now,
you got to know what to eat, and you have
to know how to eat. You can't eat to your
stuff that's only for Thanksgiving right now, everybody eats.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
To Therefore Everybody who's not gonna keep tilling it eats
to their full. You got to learn how to eat
just enough so you're not hungry.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
So if I gave you, if you were hungry, and
I gave you an apple and a bottle of water,
you're not gonna be hungry after you drink, eat that apple,
drink that bottle of water.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You may want some more, but are you hungry? And
that's what you have to learn. I don't care if
you have.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
To go back two hours later, because you do get
hungry and eat a little bit more. But at least
your stomach will start shrinking. If your stomach shrinks, the
body shrinks. Remember this one thing, everybody, whatever rises outside
your body that's being fixed, it rises outside your but
when you eat it, it's gonna rise inside your body.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Bread, cookies, It does not matter what it is. Rice
and people. I can. My trainer said I can eat
white rice and go for it. Popcorn.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
They got something called skinny pop. All right, go ahead
with your skinny pop. You're gonna be after you finish
that bag of skinny pop.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
But yeah, they do have those skinny pops out there.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
They just can't they have to. They have to create
a habit of doing the eating first. If you don't
want to work out and be around people, will make
it a habit to go to the gym of personal
trainer and then create a habit of how you're gonna
eat okay, and that will help you out a lot.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
A lot won't get it done, but it help you
out a lot.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
And it help fail a lot.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Well, I tell you what. One comment came in that
says Keith is awesome and has changed my life. So,
like I said, you do get results. People do appreciate it,
and they you know they they even though sometimes you
may think we're not hearing you or we're not listening
to you. It's getting in there. It's getting in there.
(33:27):
Sometimes we don't always act on it, but it's there.
It's sinking in.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I mean, but you have to have fun when you're
doing it. That's another thing I'm going to say. You know,
you want to have fun when you're doing it. I
don't want people listen to me who don't know me
to say, well, he seems like he's pretty tough.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
I laugh and joke.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I laugh and joke, and we cracked jokes all through
classic like, sometimes I got.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
To stop and say, can we can we keep going?
Can we get going?
Speaker 7 (33:48):
We're laughing and joking if I'm not educating you about
something almost every day. You gotta have fun doing what
you're doing too. I love I would there would not
be a day to go by that I won't laugh.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Absolutely absolutely, So tell me what role does sleep, mindset,
and emotional balance play in weight loss success. There's a
lot of people think that the sleep has a lot
something to do with it too.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Sleep, your body can't regroove.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Most of the weight loss is going to come when
you're sleeping anyway, if you pay attention to most of it.
Sometimes you wake up in the one you're like, oh,
I did my ads a lot of ad work yesterday,
And wake up the next morning you're like, whoa, it
looks like it's coming in already, Especially in the back
down the lower end where you have your love handles
that you understand that's gone in and everything else. Your
sleep is so important because your body really does its
work right there. But that's why we always tell our
(34:35):
clients reactivate your burnoff system at night before you go
to bed.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
How do you reactivate a burnof system? Do your abs.
Just do like fifty sit ups and fifty.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Leg lists and that's a little bit enough' that'll give
you some good results in the morning, contribute to what
you did earlier in that day.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
So key, tell me, with all the people that have
come through.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The facility, what mental or emotional transformations have you witnessed
in your clients that has inspired you the most?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Oh? Shoot, that's self esteem.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Man.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
That thing is.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
When you see the y'all, you all coming to wear
these big clothes trying to cover all the fat.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
By the time I finished with you, y'all, everything everything
is fit.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
It's tight as I don't know what, showing every curve
and everything else.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
And I just thought that, I'm like, you all did
not come in here like that. Now look at all y'all,
y'all want everybody wants to.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Wear something that's fit, you understand, except if they cheated
that weekend and then they want to and they see that,
oh my stomach blowed it out, then they.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Want to go back to something. That's what gives you,
guys away. You know you want to wear something trying
to cover up again.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
But you know that's the stuff that's encouraging to me
when I see so many people, so many people. I mean,
these trainers have one or two that they're working with
at a time. You know, we have I was this
personal training. But we're gifted enough by God had that
annointy enough that we work with forty fifty people at
a time and everybody's getting resolved. Plus we use that
(35:59):
momentum from each one of you guys to send to
another person. That gets you guys going because you see it.
And so that's that's that's that's that makes me really
really happy.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Wow, And and I didn't This is another one, uh
that I think that's probably important, But you can answer
that too.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
How important is it?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Is community support or accountability and staying mentally committed to fitness.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
But that goes right with the who you hang around?
You know, yeah, who you hang around. You hang around
people that's going in the same direction you're going in,
you're going to be successful. I'm speaking fast now because
I know my time is sure. You hanging around the
people that's going in the direction you're going in, it's
a greater chance you're going to get there. You hanging
around people that want to go in the opposite direction.
Then it's going to slow you down. Honestly, it says
the time to get add new friends. I'm not saying
(36:49):
cut them out, but you use your friends for what
you need them for.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
At that time.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
A group of friends who are great with finances, that's
who you want to go to because you want to
start saving money and investment. People who want to work
out and get healthy, that's who you go to. People
want to get to know the Lord even closer, that's
who you hang with at that time. You have your
peers that you hang around, all these different friends, but
you need friends that's going in the directions that you're
going in.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
You're going into absolutely Now, I know you've done you know,
although you're you have a lot of clients that you
work with in the weight loss industry, but you also
advocate for different things. I know you've done the no
black on black crime things like that. So tell us,
is there anything that you want us to know about
(37:32):
that might be coming up that you're going to be
working on, or is there any programs or any thing
that's coming up at the facility that you want our
viewers to know about.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Yeah, we're doing it. I'm doing January Free.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I do every January Free to get back to the community,
to get to show people how you want to lose
the weight, to show them how much weight I can
get off of them in just seven days. What you
already know how much way I can get off of
them in seven days. And then associatd shows that, Wow, this,
this is why he's rated number one. He has a
true annointing from God to be able to get this
much weight off in a healthy way of people in
(38:07):
just seven days one week. I lost that much in
one week, and it's not waterweight. I hate when people
say that's my time. I hate when people say, what
the first ten pounds you lose is waterweight? People, if
anybody's ever told you that does a lot. I did
a serious research on that and did my study, and
I'm a study door.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
That's not true. Well, I heard if you lose weight fast,
you pick up I gut fast. That's not true.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
You stopped doing what you were doing to lose the
weight and went back to what gain all that weight?
You went back to eating that same way. So you
know what we have going on is we're doing January
Free no streams attached. You have to register now because
we start January tenth, and I'm going to train you
for three weeks. That's all I just expected. We're going
to have a consultation with you, let you know what
(38:48):
I expect of you. And then the other thing that
I'm going to I'm working on is the boys to
men to gentlemen program. These brothers have to start stepping
up to be the men that women need. Half of
them don't know how to help a woman with their
cold on. That's it.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
They don't know.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Okay, I got a fok, I got three fourths, three spool,
three knives?
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Do I eat out the end? What are these knives?
A foks? It teaches everything they don't. It teaches finances.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
Brother, you got to leave the woman financially. If she
has to make more money than you, that's ically on
a k.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
But you still got to do your part. These women
have to be so strong.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
Now that you know when you finally me a woman,
she's so strong minded because she had to be strong
all on life.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Be nice, baby, I got you, I got you, Daddy
got you.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
So Keith tell us if someone wanted to reach out
to you, find out more about weight laws, UH to
to find out where the facility is how they get there,
How can they reach you.
Speaker 7 (39:45):
I'm gonna call my number out, okay, so get ready
to pen and paper and then but it's three zero one,
just call me directly, three zero one, three six seven
one nine eight. I think that's going to go across
it the screen anyway, that number down there to screen
three zero one, three six seven sixteen ninety eight. You
can contact me directly. And that program that we're designing,
(40:06):
the Voice to Men to gentlemen, It includes the young youth,
the twenty year olds, and the dads, because again the dads,
it starts with the pops too. You got to know
how to be romantic. We don't even know how to
be romantic anymore. So it teaches everything. So if you
want to get in touch with me with those things
that's that's coming up and find out more what else,
what else we have on the plate, then just give
(40:26):
me a call.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
I got you. Well, we don't still doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So before you go, if you had one piece of
advice to leave with our viewers and our listeners, what
would that piece of advice be?
Speaker 7 (40:44):
Please start taking care of yourself. It's mentally first. Don't
let anybody stress you out. Don't give anybody that much power.
When you're gonna be down to press, stressed down, angry, arguing, cursing,
they don't give that. Don't give anybody that much power.
They're going to change who you are and then start
working on you. Once you work on yourself mentally, in
your mind, start working on yourself physically, you're gonna feel
(41:06):
better about yourself.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
You understand. So it's a.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
Mental thing and a physical thing that I would like
people to start really working on.
Speaker 6 (41:12):
Don't wait for a new year's resolution. It doesn't have
to be New year's stop because.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
If you're missing it at the beginning of the year,
you can say, well I'll start next week. No, you
start right stop. It doesn't have to be a new year.
It's a resolution to yourself period. It's a life resolution,
not a New Year's resolution. So start taking care of
yourself mentally and physically. If they don't belong in your life,
like God said, it's a time and a season for everything,
remove them.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
I'm not talking all the ones that's married. I't give you.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
Permission to get a divorced all right, but remove them
and keep it moving. There's too many people out here
that can make you happy, and even if married, go
into your war room, pray, get around your friends who can.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Keep you going. You understand because you stuck with that
marriage now.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
But other than that, you know mentally and physically are
the most important things.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
Peace of mind at our age is the most important
thing right now.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
Happy as absolutely, Keith, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
And I'll just read this last comment that came in
and said, Keith gives you the results you want. Do
exactly what he says, and you will look and feel amazing.
Speaker 5 (42:10):
The let's see jumped on me.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
The accountability, anointing, and facility are second to none. So
I just want to thank Keith Turner for joining me
today on the Success for Women's Show. It has been
a great pleasure having you here yet again.
Speaker 5 (42:27):
And of course we're going to bring you back.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
As always because you know, you always have some great
nuggets to share with our viewers and our listeners.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
Thank you so much, giving it's a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Take care too, Okay, So now just to let everyone
know about the upcoming events that I have going on
that's coming up. One of the things I'm honored to
share that I am officially one of the founding women
on the empower Her Wall by She Rises Studios in
(42:59):
partnership with Phoenix TV, a global movement showcasing two hundred
trailblazing women on one powerful digital wall inside the.
Speaker 5 (43:13):
And I hope I'm pronouncing this correctly the.
Speaker 4 (43:17):

and my guess is none other than Keith Turner. Now,
I know you're all familiar with him because he has
(02:56):
been on here before. He's talked to us about how
to workout and you know, just to get our bodies
in shape. But today we're gonna talk to him about
something different. But before it gets started, let me just
give you a little bit of background on him. Keith
Turner is the owner of Keith Turner Weight Loss and Aerobics,
(03:19):
located in Clinton, Maryland. A highly experienced personal group fitness trainer,
Keith specializes in body shaping, toning, and long term weight
management across the DMV region. Recognized as one of the

thirty three years of experience in the fitness industry, Keith
has worked with a range of clients including children, athletes, seniors,
(04:05):
postpartum individuals. And I'm telling you what he gets results.
So I would like to welcome to the Success With
Women's show none other than mister Keith Turner.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. How you're going about it?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I am doing very well. It is so good to
have you on the show again today. And I tell
you what I know.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You've been on here before.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You've had the group on here, you've had the You've
shown us how to do work our core. You've shown us,
you know, some of the things that we need to
do to get that stomach flatten. You know, You've just
talked about a lot of things the last couple of
times that you've been on the show, But today we
want to look at it from a different perspective. So
(04:52):
I know that you emphasize exercising, eating right, and that
both of these things have to be I'm a lifestyle
and one of your mantras I know is it's not
a game because you have that. I know you have
that on your wall at the facility. So tell us
how important is the mind in this process compared to
(05:16):
a physical workout.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Well, your mind is key to everything. If you don't
if you're not ready mentally, it's not going to happen.
Your friends can push you to go work out and
come work out, but if you're not one of percent
tuned in and you're ready to go, it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
As far as a physical workout is concerned, you won't
even touch it if you're not mentally there.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
It'll be something that people start up and about one
week later, two weeks later, as soon as something interrupts
that work out, it's like as if they were praying
for it to happen. Anyway, interrupt they work out, they
won't get back to it anyway, So it's kind of
it's all mental first starts.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Here absolutely in your experience, though, what are the biggest
mental are emotional barriers people face when trying to lose weight.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Discipline, that's it.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Discipline, it's because you know the thing about it is,
it's not you know.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I hear people say, well, I've been this way for
thirty years and.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Forty years, and I'm like, oh, I hate that statement,
because that's let me know that you haven't made any
growth in thirty or forty years.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
This is how I am. I'm never going to change what.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
At some point, you can change whatever you want to change.
They're disciplined enough to save up money to go on
a cruise if they want to go on a cruise.
You know, I'm telling them truth. They're disciplined enough to
do it. In other words, you're disciplined enough to do
whatever you want to do. Get your nails done consistently,
get their hair done every two weeks. But what about
being disciplined on your eating and getting your body right.
I see a lot of women with beautiful hair, not theirs,
(06:44):
but it's beautiful hair something that you know I see.
I see the nails done, you know, and in beautiful face,
you know, beautiful faces, but the body's jacked up, and
I'm like, why would you put that much time and
effort into part of your body instead of doing the
whole picture?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Get your up. So discipline is the key to everything
with that.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
You know, many people, uh as you said, I know,
they start off strong because you know, coming especially like
coming at the end of the year, we're going to
be going into the new year.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
People going to be talking about New Year's resolution.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
The first thing they want to do is say, well,
you know, for the new year, I want to lose
some weight. So they start off strong, off quickly. What
mindset shift helps people stay consistent for the long term.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
One, make make a decision, you know, and stick to it.
Make a decision and stick to it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Go to court. What do you mean, go to court, Keith,
Go court and get a divorce. Get a divorce, Yeah,
get a divorce from laziness. Divorce laziness, divorce excuses.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
And marry marry commitment, married, dedication, marry self steam. And
once you do these things, once you sit up there
and say, you know what, I'm gonna put me first,
you know, then you'll be successful. You have to set
marks in your life that you want to prepare for.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You want to be successful with this, then what you
want to do is I'm getting ready.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
For a wedding.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Okay, Because these these quick starts and they quickly fall off.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
You know they were looking for a quick fix. It's
not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen. You gotta
leave the quick fixes alone.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Now, let me hold that answer for a second, because
you can get a quick fix and go get surgery
done to your body. But the one thing that that
surgery doesn't do. Two things that it doesn't do. It
doesn't change the organs that's in your body. At least
when you're working out and you're losing weight on your own. One,
you learn how to lose weight. If you don't learn
how to lose.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
It, how are you going to keep it off. You didn't
do the work to get it off, So how are
you going to keep it off? You don't know how
to keep it off.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Second, all your organs inside still look the same. And
the objective in working out and putting that mindset, having
your mindset to do the workout long term is this,
Your organs are slowly dying out as you get older.
They don't get stronger in your fifties and your sixties
and your seventies at that point. I mean, you've all
(09:18):
heard somebody go to the doctor, somebody's father in the
hospital in critical condition, and someone asks, how's your father doing,
and they say, well, they say his organs are failing fast. Well,
everybody who's listening to us right now, their organs are failing.
It's just not fast. So what do you want to
do to to try longevity on your life?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Now this goes right back into long term working out.
You don't really have to work out at age.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty, unless you're obese or something.
Your organs are already strong and getting a little bit stronger.
But by the time you hit thirty five, Between thirty
five and forty, it's going to a plateau out and
then at that point, at some point after that, it's
going to start going down. It won't go down like this,
but it's going to start going down slowly, gradually, but
it's going to showly go down. So now you have
(10:04):
to start working out. You have to start being coming
one with your organs and your body. If you want
to live a little longer, don't put it on God.
Well I'm not going till my time comes. You know,
God gave you, He wishes you life and life more abundantly. Okay,
So he tells you about your eating, so it's up
to you, but it gives you freedom of choice. You
have two twins, and one of the twins wants to
(10:26):
clock his armies up with all the grease and fatty
foods and everything else, and the other one does not.
They want to eat healthy, you know, And you can
splurg don't get it wrong. You can splurish every blue moon.
You just can't do it every week and every other week.
You know one is going to definitely outlive the other.
It is a fact, so you have to put that
time into working out.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah, I mean, and you know what.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I know you say that all the time, and you
you literally try to just beat it into our heads
so that you know we get it. And you know,
I think I think on some level we do get it.
Some of us get it better than others. And I
got and I will be one of those to admit
(11:11):
that you know, I get it, but I also know
that I tend to fall off the wagon.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And like you say, I mean, you know, I ain't
even need to say what you say.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It's okay, fall off the wagon. You know you fall
off the wagon sometimes, okay. But the thing about it
is you have never given up. It's a difference to
somebody who who because so I won't say you fall
off the wagon. I'll say you stumble. There's some who
stumble and regain their balance and there are some who fall.
I fall off the wagon because those who fall have
(11:45):
fallen off the wagon. Those who stumble, they regain their
balance and they keep going.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And that's what you do. So I won't.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Let's let's eliminate the fact that you said, just now,
I fall off the wagon. Not actually you're dumb. You stumble,
but you get back into it because when I get
on your case, you're like, I don't want to hear
his mouth.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Let me go ahead and do this, and you come
right back.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
And then when you weigh in there like madden A
lost seven pounds, mad At lost five pounds, not to
get in doing their stomach is coming down and everything.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
And I'm never going to give up on you. If
you don't give up on yourself.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Wow, yeah, you really don't.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I have to admit that you don't give up on us,
even though I know sometimes we probably frustrate you to
no end, but you do not give up on us.
So tell me how much does self image or self
talk influence someone's weight loss success, because I know that
is one of the things that you do a lot.
(12:39):
You do a lot of inspirational talk to us. You
give us a lot of things too. Like I said,
that that's in our heads so and personally me and
I'm sure a lot of us that go to that
facility will say the same thing. If I go to
pick up a cookie, I'm gonna hear Keith turning saying
(13:00):
to me, oh, yeah, eat that cookie.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
When you come in money the way in, just have
your five dollars ready for.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You know, and are you going the store? And you
I mean you hear the music, even the music that
you play. I mean, I've been in the store and
I'll hear that music playing, and I want to start
doing me across the chest, okay.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Because it's just the way you tend to do it.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
So tell, like I said, how much does the self
image or the self talk influence someone's weight loss success.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
So you have to love yourself enough to take care
of yourself. You have to stop lying to yourself. I
tell people when you come out your mouth and say,
well I don't look that bad. You the bad, okay,
And that's trying to negotiate. Why settle right there when
you can look just as good as anybody else, not
(13:54):
as provided you get the right trainer. You get it
the right trainer, not all these trainers out here. I'm
keeping it real. I hate to say this about my colleagues,
but it is true. Everybody who has a certificate, who
certified as a trainer, it's not a good trainer. That's
a piece of paper. Check out there before and afters
ask them what have you done? And you got certain
(14:15):
questions you want to ask them? And your people that's
listening right now can call me and say what questions
should I ask these trainers when I'm interviewing them, and
I'll tell them to answer the questions they want to ask.
But you know, once you sit up there and you start,
you love yourself enough to take care of yourself. That's
what's going to make the big difference right there. That's
that's the answer to that question. You got to really
(14:38):
care about yourself. You really do, and stop thinking you do.
But because your actions are going to show it. You
can tell me you care about me all day long,
like you hear me say the gym and wake me
up by hitting me upside my head with a frying pants.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
That's not caring about me.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
But your actions outside of that will show me if
you really care about me. So, ladies, gentlemen, that's listening
to the program right now? Do you really really care
about yourself? It's okay to look out for other people,
but if you're not here eventually, you're not gonna look
out for anybody.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
So why not make it so you're here prior tized
your life. You're here first, you first, so you can
look out for everybody else.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Absolutely, I remember, you know when I asked about the
self image. I remember when I first started with you,
and this was years ago. When I came to you,
you were doing it at your home then, and you
had the mirrors all around the section. And when I
first came to you, I weighed two hundred and twelve pounds.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
You even remember that.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I was two hundred and twelve pounds, And when I
got on that Florida exercise and I looked in the mirror.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I looked at myself. I'm like, oh my god, he
must have trick mirrors up in here. I know I'm
not that big. I'm serious.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
That is what I can saying to myself, because when
I looked at the mirror at my house, it didn't
look like it.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Was what they call skinny mirrors.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, So I kept standing and I saying, oh, yeah,
he got trick mirrors in here.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I don't. I'm not I don't look that big.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
And so the I understand that, you know, with the
self image and what you do the self.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Talk, we have to have that too.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But you instill a lot of that in us too
because of the things that you say to us every day,
and you know how you inspire, how you encourage, and
it's just the things you the examples that you use
and different things like that, and that in itself is
(16:39):
a big, a big help, a big encouragement for anyone
that has been there. And one of the reasons, you know,
I can tell you why I still like you say
when when I say fall off the wagon, then I'm
still there, is because I know now that I look
in that mirror, I don't see two hundred and twelve pounds.
(16:59):
But you know I'm still now, I'm still I know
I'm not where I want to be, and I still
I know I still need to be there. But when
also too, when I first came to you, I couldn't
get up and down off the.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Floor because of my knees.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
My knees were so uh you know, they used to
hurt so bad, and part of it was because of
the weight. And so I know that that sign you
have up there about remember your why, that is always
my whenever I think to myself, oh he did just
that made me man, I'm not going back there.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
He did just Then I think about that, I'm.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Not going back but me, And like that sign says
you know that the trainer is not a good trainer
is going to get on your nerves.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Yes, a really good trainer is going to get.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
On your nerves. Why because he really cares or she
really cares. They're going to get on you when you're
doing wrong. I mean they're going to get on you
when you're doing wrong. Other trainers they want that money.
They're going to when you're doing wrong. That's what you're
doing wrong. It's no accountability. I can really say much
say okay, come on, you went up, Okay, come on,
we gotta get it down.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
That's not caring about you. Let's keep it real and
you can put.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
It in that office and sit down and say what's
going on, what's going on? And that's what separates top
professional trainers from these average gym trainers. No disrespect to
the gym trains, but we keep it in one hundred.
There's a reason why they work at a gym for
somebody else. And the professional trainers who really get it
done have enough people to hold their own personal facility.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
You understand, because they're getting it done.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I don't want to hear a train to say, well
I work here at so and so Fitness because.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
My hours I can't. But you're there now.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I started out just training two hours a day when
I got off of work in my basement.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
But it became impact because you go out. You guys
got results.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
You saw love, but with love comes tough love too,
and you saw it straight and the inspiration of talking
to people at the end of class. Trainers don't do.
They'll let you out when that class is over, you're out.
But when you're speaking to them and you'll let ee
know why they're doing what they need to do, what
they just accomplished, and getting on their cases too, and
(19:15):
then coming back and complimenting them and everything else.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
And you're seeing so many people around you getting it done.
It encourages you and motivates you to get it done.
You're like, wait a minute, this lady came here at
four hundred pounds. She's down one hundred and seventy five
pounds now in a matter of one year. Really you
understand that's motivation.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yeah, it's tough love, but you know I love you.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
You don't like it sometime, but we get it. We
really do get it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
So tell me, Keith, what role does stress, anxiety or
even depression play and weight gain or a lack of progress?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
That is very serious.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Now, I don't do the stress, I don't do the depression,
and I don't do the anxiety.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
The anxiety may hit that mine is a good anxiety.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Anxiety like coming on this show right now, that lets
me know when I was in the ring fighting and
let me know that anxiety said, that means I'm not
taking it for granted.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
I'm on it again.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I dotted every eye and every cross, every t that's
fine for anxiety, but depression and stress. Stress is lack
of organization. You've got so much on your plate and
you're not organized. I don't care if it's stress at work.
Organize your day. You know what you're going to come into.
Depression will stop you every time because you're now taking
time out of your life, valuable time which you will
never ever get back. I'm so depressed, I can't I
(20:42):
just got to shut it down. Then next thing, you know,
you're going to eat the wrong foods because what did
you do? First of all, you bought the wrong foods
that you shouldn't have and you put them in your pantry.
So intelligent people, successful people don't set themselves up to fail.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
If you're serious about your weight loss, if.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You're very serious about the project that you're one you're
trying to accomplish, don't set it in your pantry, don't
bring it in your house. Because the devil. There's a devil,
because it shows there's a god. I'm a true god,
godly man. There's the Devil's job is to tempt you.
He's gonna always try to bring something to you, to
you that craving sweets, sugar, alcohol, whatever it is that's
(21:19):
going to mess you up. And you had to set
right up there in your pantry ready to turn to it.
And notice when it comes most of the time, almost
all the time at night, and almost every weekend, especially
if you make it.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Through the weekdays those weekends.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
It's kind of rough, you understand, So that depression, depression
will will will have people say this to me, I'm
so depressed, you know, I just I just gave up,
and I just I just you know, I just shut
everything down. And I'm like, you can't do that. You
can't do that. That's one of that's not a God.
If you sit up there and say God is good
(21:52):
all the time and all the time God is said,
why people say I never say that God is good period.
I don't have to say all of that. But if
you're going to say that out your mouth and you're
really gonna believe it, then why are you depressed?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Why are you depressed?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
If He's good all the time and everything he's doing
is doing for your good. Reason why you didn't get
that job is because that's not He got something better
for you.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Reason why you didn't accomplish.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
This is because whatever, whatever, whatever, but it's all for
your good now as far as the stress is concerned.
Here's why I message you guys up because you guys give.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Me this excuse. I stress eat. That's crap.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Okay, if you stress eat, why can't you stress eat
on the salad? Why does the stress eat have to
always be with a cake.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
And potato chips and chocolate and alcohol?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Why does the stress eat has to all have to
always be negative? That lets you know that's not a god.
So stress is not a god. I mean you you
just they just said it right then and there. So
I'm like, no, why are you gonna stress eat? How
come you can't stress eat healthy? No one can ever
answer that question. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I think I've been understressed in my younger years. You
understand I wasn't as organized, but write out of things
to do. Matter of fact, it's right here on my desk.
I write up the things to do list. Things to
do okay, and then my things to do list. I
have a busy day.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's organized so I don't have to stress and think
about what I gotta do. If I can't get it done.
I prioritize that if I can't get it done, it
goes over to the next day.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Stop letting it make you use it for an excuse
to eat wrong and pick up weeds or somebody.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Somebody wrote in the comments that they do because it
tastes good.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
One hundred it does the wrong things always taste good
most of the time.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Sometimes the devil will get you the cheat and eat
and you're like, that wasn't even worth it, and I
gotta see Keith Monday now I ate that.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
And then you won't even stop you You'll eat half
of it. You're like, well, I'm not so fishy and
all of it. Absolutely let it go.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, that's true. You right about that.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So tell me when when clients hit a plateau, how
do you help them overcome the mental frustration that comes
with it, because you know that sometimes that happens. You
get to a certain spot and just look like you
cannot do anymore. It won't it won't go off. You
just can't get it to come off anymore.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Very easy, that's very easy. I explained to them how
the body goes. Now, I don't have time to explain
it here, but I explained.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Them how God designed the body to shut down in
case you're on a desert. You're in a plane crash
on the desert, and your body doesn't know whether or
not it's it's what's going on, So it's.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Going to shut down to save you. So they say, your.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Body can go thirty days without food as long as
you have water. I've never gone thirty days without food.
The max I've gone without any food is ten days.
All right, and what's fine. I feel like I can go.
I can keep on going. Once I got past day seven,
I feel like, okay, so on I can go. Now,
you understand, So it's it's I let them know that
(24:54):
you haven't plateaued out. Your body is just giving you
a freeze markt. At that point, you have to adjust
your calorie intake.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
That's one thing you can do.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
You definitely got to adjust your exercise routine and the
adjust the.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Intensity of your workout.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Now we adjust our That's why if you if you know,
you know you can adjust, you can. Cosiund on this.
We don't do the same workouts two days in a row.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Every day.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
It's something different. You've been with me for how long?
You can't tell anybody what we're going to do tomorrow.
And if you know it's going to be a erbics,
you still can't tell what a erbics we're gonna do.
If I'm gonna put some uh something, especially in our
twist in it, what order is going to be in
if I'm gonna put catastenics in it, you don't you
don't know. I always throw your body off. If I
(25:44):
can throw your mind off and have you wonder what
we're gonna do, I'm throwing your body off and it
will never adjust. So you have to be patient through
that little period because it's going to shut down for
about a week maybe two, but it's gonna get right
back in.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
So you'll come down and wait with us.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
You'll go like this for a say you've probably experienced that,
and then it's gonna go like this straight down.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
But you got to hang in there through that period
that it's going to hold up for a second, right,
But it's only for your good hmm.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
So now you've worked with people from all backgrounds, what
do you think separates those who succeed from those who
repeatedly struggle with their weight?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
The mind again, the mindset. The ones who succeed. It's
their mindset.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
The ones who can repeatedly struggle with their weight, it's
it's the mindset. They want to hang around the people
who come on her. It's always come on her, let's
go out to eat yourselthing to eat. You understand, you know, No, no,
we don't have to and it's always somebody's coming in town.
We got to go out and eat. It's always something
(26:51):
like that. The ones who are successful prioritize their life.
The ones who aren't successful don't prioritize, don't even pod
test that day. The ones who prioritize their life.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Here's what we say. Let's say the ones. Let's say
some of the.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Ones who are successful and their sons who are somewhat successful,
and there's who failures, the.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Failures they had.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
No, they're not prioritized at all, but somewhat successful prior
test that day. The ones who are successful, very successful,
prior to hast their life is what I mean. Prioritize
my life. I have to come first, not my kids,
not my grandkids. I have to come first because if
I'm not here, I can't be there for my kids,
and I can't see when grandkids grow up. So you
(27:35):
have to learn how to prioritize your life. Is in
prior testing your life, you have to come first. I
am one eight my kids. If I was married, my
wife would be one A.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I'm one. They're one A. They're not B. Don't get
it twisted. They're not B. But they're not number one.
I have to be number one.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
You have to make yourself number one above all and
everything else. Your job, all the committees you want to
be on it at church, and I'm just being totally honest.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
You can't be on four and five and you all fats.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
Put some of that time to cut out four of
them and stick to one and put the time that
you put into four committees, put it into your health.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Start getting your body together. Because I'm one of the
most unhealthiest places. And like I said, I'm a true
man of God.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
If my church Passagenia's and tell you I love him
because he talks about health too. He had a scare,
he had to get his fat, he had to get
that fat off him. Okay, didn't take you to that point, Okay,
But the bottom line is you've got to organize your health.
And people don't do that. Most people don't but the
ones that's very successful, they got that jewing together. They
(28:40):
organize their health first, which means they're life top priority.
And you see them people going there every day. To
make sure they're going there every day. Now you can
go every day, Madelin, he come home with the wrong foods.
You're defeating the purpose. But at least they're doing something.
But while waste time, don't go and work out like
they do at a gym.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Most people are sucessful at the gym. I was reading
before on air.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Most people are successful but fail at the gym. And
I'm like, Wow, why do they fail at the gym?
Because they don't know what they eat? They think they
can go because they're working out and eat whatever they
want to eat, and you can't do that.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
You can't do that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Wow, right, tize your life prioritize. Well, that's what we
have to start doing.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
How do you get someone to uh, how can someone
rebuild that discipline if they fail that weight loss multiple times?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Because at that point you're going to start getting frustrated.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You are, but who are you hanging around now? I'm
a self.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I have a lot of friends, a lot of male friends,
but I'm still a loner. You know, we get together
certain times, but I'm a loner. A loner has to
be a strong minded person. If you are a weak
minded person, you have to hang around people that's going
in the direction that you want to go. If you're
a strong minded person, you can pretty much meet by yourself,
but you need, you know, have other people that's following you.
(30:00):
And that's motivation. Like I'll meet some of my clients
at the gym at six am in the morning. That
motivates me to get my work out in. You understand,
even a trainer gets to the point where like we
can we can stumble too. We're like, I just don't
feel like it. No, you got to get back into it.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
You got to.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
You gotta get somebody else that's going to motivate you.
So you get around people that's going in the direction
that you're going in, and that's much that makes it
much easier.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
What daily habits are routines? Do you recommend to support
a person's weight goes? And I know you talk about
the discipline part, but what what other habits can would
you recommend.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Learning how to eat even if you're going to eat wrong,
let's just keep it real. If you're going to eat wrong,
stop eating to your full learn how to eat just
enough so you're not hungry. And that's something that people
haven't been told by trainers. Most of the trainers, they
aren't number one rate of training. They don't have that annoyingty.
You got that annoy and God gives.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
You that wisdom.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
You roll with it and tell you spread that word
around everybody, and then you let your word be backed
by action.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Look at his clients. This is over twelve thousand clients.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
What personal trainer do you know that has over twelve
thousand clients and they have a ninety eight percent success rate.
That's everybody that walks through that door, wheelchairs, four hundred pounders,
eighty year olds, and you can verify the eighty My
eighty year olds look good, seventy year olds look good,
twenty year olds, thirty year olds look good. What are
they doing that's getting they're getting it done. We're teaching
(31:33):
you how to eat. It's not just about working out. Now,
you got to know what to eat, and you have
to know how to eat. You can't eat to your
stuff that's only for Thanksgiving right now, everybody eats.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
To Therefore Everybody who's not gonna keep tilling it eats
to their full. You got to learn how to eat
just enough so you're not hungry.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
So if I gave you, if you were hungry, and
I gave you an apple and a bottle of water,
you're not gonna be hungry after you drink, eat that apple,
drink that bottle of water.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You may want some more, but are you hungry? And
that's what you have to learn. I don't care if
you have.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
To go back two hours later, because you do get
hungry and eat a little bit more. But at least
your stomach will start shrinking. If your stomach shrinks, the
body shrinks. Remember this one thing, everybody, whatever rises outside
your body that's being fixed, it rises outside your but
when you eat it, it's gonna rise inside your body.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Bread, cookies, It does not matter what it is. Rice
and people. I can. My trainer said I can eat
white rice and go for it. Popcorn.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
They got something called skinny pop. All right, go ahead
with your skinny pop. You're gonna be after you finish
that bag of skinny pop.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
But yeah, they do have those skinny pops out there.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
They just can't they have to. They have to create
a habit of doing the eating first. If you don't
want to work out and be around people, will make
it a habit to go to the gym of personal
trainer and then create a habit of how you're gonna
eat okay, and that will help you out a lot.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
A lot won't get it done, but it help you
out a lot.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
And it help fail a lot.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Well, I tell you what. One comment came in that
says Keith is awesome and has changed my life. So,
like I said, you do get results. People do appreciate it,
and they you know they they even though sometimes you
may think we're not hearing you or we're not listening
to you. It's getting in there. It's getting in there.
(33:27):
Sometimes we don't always act on it, but it's there.
It's sinking in.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I mean, but you have to have fun when you're
doing it. That's another thing I'm going to say. You know,
you want to have fun when you're doing it. I
don't want people listen to me who don't know me
to say, well, he seems like he's pretty tough.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
I laugh and joke.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I laugh and joke, and we cracked jokes all through
classic like, sometimes I got.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
To stop and say, can we can we keep going?
Can we get going?
Speaker 7 (33:48):
We're laughing and joking if I'm not educating you about
something almost every day. You gotta have fun doing what
you're doing too. I love I would there would not
be a day to go by that I won't laugh.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Absolutely absolutely, So tell me what role does sleep, mindset,
and emotional balance play in weight loss success. There's a
lot of people think that the sleep has a lot
something to do with it too.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Sleep, your body can't regroove.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Most of the weight loss is going to come when
you're sleeping anyway, if you pay attention to most of it.
Sometimes you wake up in the one you're like, oh,
I did my ads a lot of ad work yesterday,
And wake up the next morning you're like, whoa, it
looks like it's coming in already, Especially in the back
down the lower end where you have your love handles
that you understand that's gone in and everything else. Your
sleep is so important because your body really does its
work right there. But that's why we always tell our
(34:35):
clients reactivate your burnoff system at night before you go
to bed.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
How do you reactivate a burnof system? Do your abs.
Just do like fifty sit ups and fifty.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Leg lists and that's a little bit enough' that'll give
you some good results in the morning, contribute to what
you did earlier in that day.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
So key, tell me, with all the people that have
come through.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The facility, what mental or emotional transformations have you witnessed
in your clients that has inspired you the most?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Oh? Shoot, that's self esteem.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Man.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
That thing is.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
When you see the y'all, you all coming to wear
these big clothes trying to cover all the fat.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
By the time I finished with you, y'all, everything everything
is fit.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
It's tight as I don't know what, showing every curve
and everything else.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
And I just thought that, I'm like, you all did
not come in here like that. Now look at all y'all,
y'all want everybody wants to.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Wear something that's fit, you understand, except if they cheated
that weekend and then they want to and they see that,
oh my stomach blowed it out, then they.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Want to go back to something. That's what gives you,
guys away. You know you want to wear something trying
to cover up again.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
But you know that's the stuff that's encouraging to me
when I see so many people, so many people. I mean,
these trainers have one or two that they're working with
at a time. You know, we have I was this
personal training. But we're gifted enough by God had that
annointy enough that we work with forty fifty people at
a time and everybody's getting resolved. Plus we use that
(35:59):
momentum from each one of you guys to send to
another person. That gets you guys going because you see it.
And so that's that's that's that's that makes me really
really happy.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Wow, And and I didn't This is another one, uh
that I think that's probably important, But you can answer
that too.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
How important is it?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Is community support or accountability and staying mentally committed to fitness.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
But that goes right with the who you hang around?
You know, yeah, who you hang around. You hang around
people that's going in the same direction you're going in,
you're going to be successful. I'm speaking fast now because
I know my time is sure. You hanging around the
people that's going in the direction you're going in, it's
a greater chance you're going to get there. You hanging
around people that want to go in the opposite direction.
Then it's going to slow you down. Honestly, it says
the time to get add new friends. I'm not saying
(36:49):
cut them out, but you use your friends for what
you need them for.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
At that time.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
A group of friends who are great with finances, that's
who you want to go to because you want to
start saving money and investment. People who want to work
out and get healthy, that's who you go to. People
want to get to know the Lord even closer, that's
who you hang with at that time. You have your
peers that you hang around, all these different friends, but
you need friends that's going in the directions that you're
going in.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
You're going into absolutely Now, I know you've done you know,
although you're you have a lot of clients that you
work with in the weight loss industry, but you also
advocate for different things. I know you've done the no
black on black crime things like that. So tell us,
is there anything that you want us to know about
(37:32):
that might be coming up that you're going to be
working on, or is there any programs or any thing
that's coming up at the facility that you want our
viewers to know about.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Yeah, we're doing it. I'm doing January Free.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I do every January Free to get back to the community,
to get to show people how you want to lose
the weight, to show them how much weight I can
get off of them in just seven days. What you
already know how much way I can get off of
them in seven days. And then associatd shows that, Wow, this,
this is why he's rated number one. He has a
true annointing from God to be able to get this
much weight off in a healthy way of people in
(38:07):
just seven days one week. I lost that much in
one week, and it's not waterweight. I hate when people
say that's my time. I hate when people say, what
the first ten pounds you lose is waterweight? People, if
anybody's ever told you that does a lot. I did
a serious research on that and did my study, and
I'm a study door.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
That's not true. Well, I heard if you lose weight fast,
you pick up I gut fast. That's not true.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
You stopped doing what you were doing to lose the
weight and went back to what gain all that weight?
You went back to eating that same way. So you
know what we have going on is we're doing January
Free no streams attached. You have to register now because
we start January tenth, and I'm going to train you
for three weeks. That's all I just expected. We're going
to have a consultation with you, let you know what
(38:48):
I expect of you. And then the other thing that
I'm going to I'm working on is the boys to
men to gentlemen program. These brothers have to start stepping
up to be the men that women need. Half of
them don't know how to help a woman with their
cold on. That's it.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
They don't know.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Okay, I got a fok, I got three fourths, three spool,
three knives?
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Do I eat out the end? What are these knives?
A foks? It teaches everything they don't. It teaches finances.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
Brother, you got to leave the woman financially. If she
has to make more money than you, that's ically on
a k.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
But you still got to do your part. These women
have to be so strong.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
Now that you know when you finally me a woman,
she's so strong minded because she had to be strong
all on life.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Be nice, baby, I got you, I got you, Daddy
got you.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
So Keith tell us if someone wanted to reach out
to you, find out more about weight laws, UH to
to find out where the facility is how they get there,
How can they reach you.
Speaker 7 (39:45):
I'm gonna call my number out, okay, so get ready
to pen and paper and then but it's three zero one,
just call me directly, three zero one, three six seven
one nine eight. I think that's going to go across
it the screen anyway, that number down there to screen
three zero one, three six seven sixteen ninety eight. You
can contact me directly. And that program that we're designing,
(40:06):
the Voice to Men to gentlemen, It includes the young youth,
the twenty year olds, and the dads, because again the dads,
it starts with the pops too. You got to know
how to be romantic. We don't even know how to
be romantic anymore. So it teaches everything. So if you
want to get in touch with me with those things
that's that's coming up and find out more what else,
what else we have on the plate, then just give
(40:26):
me a call.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
I got you. Well, we don't still doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So before you go, if you had one piece of
advice to leave with our viewers and our listeners, what
would that piece of advice be?
Speaker 7 (40:44):
Please start taking care of yourself. It's mentally first. Don't
let anybody stress you out. Don't give anybody that much power.
When you're gonna be down to press, stressed down, angry, arguing, cursing,
they don't give that. Don't give anybody that much power.
They're going to change who you are and then start
working on you. Once you work on yourself mentally, in
your mind, start working on yourself physically, you're gonna feel
(41:06):
better about yourself.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
You understand. So it's a.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
Mental thing and a physical thing that I would like
people to start really working on.
Speaker 6 (41:12):
Don't wait for a new year's resolution. It doesn't have
to be New year's stop because.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
If you're missing it at the beginning of the year,
you can say, well I'll start next week. No, you
start right stop. It doesn't have to be a new year.
It's a resolution to yourself period. It's a life resolution,
not a New Year's resolution. So start taking care of
yourself mentally and physically. If they don't belong in your life,
like God said, it's a time and a season for everything,
remove them.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
I'm not talking all the ones that's married. I't give you.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
Permission to get a divorced all right, but remove them
and keep it moving. There's too many people out here
that can make you happy, and even if married, go
into your war room, pray, get around your friends who can.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Keep you going. You understand because you stuck with that
marriage now.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
But other than that, you know mentally and physically are
the most important things.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
Peace of mind at our age is the most important
thing right now.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
Happy as absolutely, Keith, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (41:59):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
