Marshfield Fitness Studio Boot Camps
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much we can accomplish in such a short period of time.
At Robert Belley Fitness studio, I’ve had the ability to impact nearly a hundred lives already.
That’s heavy.
I’ve also had the opportunity to expand the studio with a means that further envelopes the eclectic style of training I implement with all training family.
I’ve added a yoga and Pilate’s program above by adding Holly to the team.
I’m currently searching for another competent and capable instructor to lead early morning BURN boot camps on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
If you know anyone let me know. My search is ongoing but I’m always up for others I haven’t seen yet.
I’ve added elements to the programming that surely separates my studio from other fitness options in Marshfield, Pembroke and Duxbury.
I’m being pictured and having my bio in two major magazines coming out on newsstands next month.
I’ve added a few cool resources to the studio that leave people sweaty and accomplished.
I’ve built a studio dynamic where people feel comfortable to come and train with their kids, friends and family. Almost another home.
I’m sitting here from my loft, overlooking the studio, admiring for a moment what I’ve designed, and muddling, on what I’ve left to place in here and how to coordinate it.
Never settled.
But I think that is what separates myself and my studio from some of the others in our locale.
I’m never satisfied with it. I always want it to be better. I want it to provide the best service to each and every person who walks in here.
I never wanted a gym.
I never wanted a health club, well, okay, when I was 15 I wanted a health club but my design was a multi-million dollar extravaganza that was 3 levels and simply put, cutting edge for what would’ve been the mid-90’s.
I always wanted a relationship with my clients.
I always wanted my clients to appreciate the effort I put into my service, in front of them and behind the scenes.
Locating motivating information. Providing positive text messages, emails, conversations.
Helping them feel appreciated for their hard-earned efforts and letting them know they are not alone in their journey. Donating to causes as they come as often as I can afford.
Because I understand that I did not build this alone. I didn’t even create it alone. It’s the culmination of many influences, from many people, many factors, many experiences and many self-trials.
This is just as much my studio as it is theirs and yours.
At one point I thought of making Robert Belley Fitness LLC a community owned company somehow someway. Because it’s not just me. It’s all of us.
Robert Belley Fitness may bear my birth name. But it encapsulates the passion and laughter and effort of all those who train here. Robert Belley Fitness is the sum of nearly 100 people. Not just Robert Belley.
Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the daily’s. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the tasks that overwhelm.
And it’s easy to overlook the accomplishments we’ve attained here.
But today, in this moment, I appreciate all I have in front of me, that has come before me, and that is enveloping me.
Thank you for believing in Robert Belley Fitness.
It could just as well be (type your name here) Fitness.
Honestly.
I’m just one professional.
Trying to help as many people as possible find the funner, more efficient way.

PS – l.t.d. “Live The Dream”
What I learned from a Boston Dunkin Donuts and Burger King…
Last night found me helping one of my best friends Hien last night in Boston.
His reputable and amazing flooring company, Boston Premier Flooring, has been hired to face lift the floors of the popular child clothing chain, The Children’s Place. The first location revamped is the Downtown Crossing establishment.
As I arrived, after training my 6 and 6:30pm semi-private time slots – Tara, Melissa, Linda and Kate – Hien asked if I stop by Dunkin Donuts in Boston at the Boston Common to pick up coffee for the everyone working.
Well, enjoying my 6 minute walk to the Dunkin Donuts carrying my water and backpack through the beautifully warmed city, I came across people who were actually happy. A couple people even said “excuse me” to me in passing.
Then, when I went to Dunkin Donuts, the girl behind the counter actually gave me a Box O’Joe, large pumpkin spice coffee and donuts for free. And it was fresh brewed coffee, just for my order.
I tried to pay. Twice. She simply said “Merry Christmas.” It’s October??
When I asked for cream and sugar she did tell me hadn’t any left so I went next door on the Common to Burger King. Two people held doors open for me, as I approached the entrance: a woman at the first and a man at the second double doors.
Of course I took the door from the woman, letting her walk out instead, and the gentleman I actually accepted after offering him the same courtesy in return.
Once in Burger King I walked up to the counter and asked if they had any sugar packets since Dunkin’s ran out. The Burger King manager on duty said no problem and gave me lots. Then he asked if I wanted a carrying tray for my beverages. Of course I said yes… efficiency.
Then he asked if I needed anything else, napkins, spoons, stirrers, etc…
I said no thank you. I felt bad like I should order something, but it was Burger King and I really wasn’t in the mood for anything. I eat Burger King maybe once or twice a year… not a fan of that type of fast food.
But I was amazed at the streak I just embarked within 15 minutes… IN BOSTON??
Then as I was walking back to The Children’s Place at Downtown Crossing, a gentleman asked a Boston Police Officer for the time, the Officer had no watch unfortunately. About 24 feet behind the man walking down the street I spoke out “9:03”.
He turned and said thank you, waited for me, then walked alongside me as if we were in hallway break in high school, going to the same floor together. We just carried a conversation about watches and security… it was refreshingly funny.
What an experience.
Not that Boston is a mean city, but come on. All the years I’ve been going in and out of it I usually bump into a number of negative people or at least see or hear some drama. But all along the streets I walked people were laughing shouting at each other as they parted ways, being overly friendly, and even giving things away with no expectation whatsoever.
It was a comforting reminder of my own lifestyle.
Of how I treat, and am treated by the training family at Robert Belley Fitness studio.
Putting others first, with the trust they’ll hold you in equal fashion and regard.
It was welcoming.
So be nice, hold doors for one another, give someone something with no expectation involved,
and live the dream,
Rob
Woman’s first Chin-Ups… Marshfield Fitness Studio
Today’s post is brief.
But a BIGGIE none the less.
Francine rocked her first chin-ups today at the studio 🙂
Couldn’t be prouder of her.
It’s so amazing to witness training family at the studio achieve milestones. Onlooking was Gail, who was involved in her own posterior chain session during their semi-private training appointment. And not only did Francine do one chin-up, but she did 3 singles in a row!!! That’s usually how I see it happen.
Most people will train for months, coming near complete, then one day, BOOM! It’s never usually one, but a couple or a few chin-ups in a row.
Congratulations Francine! You Rocked It!!!!!
Live the Dream kiddo,
Rob

Marshfield Personal Trainer – Why Am I Grateful…
It’s amazing how often people take for granted daily happenings.
It’s easy to get lost amongst the throws of schedules, advertisements, technology and needs and wants.
But it’s extremely IMPORTANT to notice the gifts or treasures we have to revel in each and every day.
I try my best to appreciate what I belong to daily. Who and what surrounds me. The opportunities that are available. And the message that I’m allowed and gifted to share with others daily, minute by minute, of each and every day of my life as a fitness and health professional.
Some of those include, but are not limited to:
- Having an amazingly supportive family/best friends, for my ambitions and crazy work schedule
- Being surrounded daily by amazing clients, who, without, I’m not sure I’d appreciate truly why I do what I do… it’s wonderful to see your hard work brought to fruition and enjoyed by those you care about.
- Being graced with a wonderful Marshfield studio and an amazing person who gave me an opportunity in Vaughn.
- Having a chance daily, when things gets out of focus, to look at what we are building at Robert Belley Fitness, and how far we’ve come in such a short time.
- Having the ability, to invest in a client, who ends up beating you at your own test… that was an awesome moment Thursday morning. Go Tara 😉
- Being able to shape and develop the youth of Marshfield at Belley Fitness. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the kids laugh, play and enjoy their time here at the studio. There’s not many feelings greater than feeling as a true mentor.
- The Internet… I know it sounds silly, but this little information n highway is one way for me to keep in touch with all of you daily. Emails, blogs, research, YouTube … Without the Internet, I wouldn’t be able to help as many of you as I do.
- Having the chance to say Thank You daily… that goes above and beyond
- Having the chance to hear “Thank You” back to me daily… that warms my heart every time. It never gets tiring or ever goes unnoticed.
- Having the chance to follow my dream… that could be the greatest gift
- Being able to say Love You on a consistent basis… that’s important… sometimes not said enough
- Creating a world which we can live in, whether it’s your home, your workplace, a social scene/network… we have advantages in this country
- Knowledge… it truly unlocks potential… and its everywhere around us… waiting to be absorbed
- Mentors… not just to be one, but to have a number of them… I’m so thankful for that. My mentors are so giving and caring… I’m so fortunate for them.
- Being believed in… that’s immense. Totally. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t appreciate when someone asks me a question or looks to me for an answer, or gives me a thank you card for something I’ve shared with them. I’m beyond lucky to be a trusted friend/mentor/resource to the family at Robert Belley Fitness and in life.
- I could go on and on…
But you get the idea.
It’s amazing how often we overlook these things in our daily lives. When you drive your children to school or sports, when you have dinner with your family. When you meet a friend for lunch or talk to them on the phone. When you can see someone you love and tell them that you do. When the opprtunities around you keep coming to you and you keep replenishing them with life and passion.
Feel fortunate that you are you.
Feel fortunate that you belong to the circles that you do.
Feel fortunate that you have the ability to read this right now, you have vision and sight and the ability to transform thoughts and create words and speech.
Feel fortunate that you have been giving the opportunity to live this life.
If anything, just understand that you are blessed in this world.
Live the Dream,
Rob

Marshfield Fitness Client Beats Her Marshfield Personal Trainer
Wow!
So, every month at Robert Belley Fitness in Marshfield I pose a challenge.
That challenge motivates the studio. I use it as measure by which to track how mentally tough and physically tough my clients are too.
Well, for the first time in Robert Belley Fitness history, Robert Belley has been outdone! 🙂
Tara beat my latest time by 2:52!!!!!
I won’t tell you exactly what the challenge is…. thats TOP SECRET stuff. I think it’s one of the many programs that seperates my Marshfield personal training studio apart from all the other Marshfield fitness options in town.
But the client beat the professional.
The student took down the master.
And I couldn’t ever be prouder of her… Not that I’m not already…
I’m always proud of her. You can read how proud here from a previous post about a month ago.
But, that also means I have new moitvation 😉
I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN!
I’m hoping I can beat HER TIME!! I’m gonna do it a little while later today…
Tara carb loaded…
I’ve been eating Nature’s Promise Multi-Grain bread the last 20 minutes.. haha.
And I won’t lie, I also ate a Hostess style cupcake from Cupcake Charlie’s in Plymouth that Holly gave me last night for helping her install her Pilates tower.
I’m gonna give it my best….
Wish me luck!
And congratulate Tara for me,
She deserves it 😉

Another Reason Why Strength Training is Better for Women Than Endurance.
By Rachel Cosgrove
I was just thinking that one of the number one goals I have with my clients to change their bodies is to change the negative mental chatter that goes on upstairs all day long. Most women spend a lot of time each day talking negatively to themselves and have to consciously stop themselves and catch themselves. I had a realization that when women are using the wrong type of exercise to lose fat it not only doesn’t work physically but it doesn’t work mentally as well. Long runs or steady state cardio on a machine perpetuates this negative thinking that is so common for women.
Picture this – A woman running for an hour- what is going through her mind? Maybe she is thinking about her day ahead or her kids or a vacation that she has coming up but I bet you most women spend a lot of their time thinking- “Ugghh I can still feel my stomach jiggling when I am running…my thighs are rubbing together….gee, look at that runner- why don’t I look more like her? Uh Oh, someone is coming up behind me and probably noticing how wide my ass is…How much longer…If only I hadn’t pigged out last night I wouldn’t have to torture myself like this…”
Ladies? I know you won’t admit it but aren’t these the kind of thoughts you might have while running at a steady state with nothing to think about except the tortuous exercise of repetitive motion you are doing to try to drop a few pounds and fit in your jeans so of course most of the time you will think about your body and how did you let yourself get here in the first place and beating yourself up?
Now Picture this- A woman goes to the gym to lift weights. Her focus is on the exercise she is doing, keeping her stomach tight and focusing on lifting the weight and keeping her form. She has to be thinking about what she is doing at that moment and most of her thoughts will be “I need to squeeze my butt and keep my stomach tight. I have 5 more reps, I can do this….”
I am not saying she won’t have the occasional fleeting negative thought but it will be a lot less than if she has an hour of doing nothing but the same motion over and over again with nothing but her thoughts swimming around in her head.
So not only is strength training better for women for all of the physical reasons but it is better for them mentally too. And having less negative thoughts and more thoughts about keeping your stomach tight and being strong and finishing your set will lead to better results. The mind and body are connected. If you are spending an hour everyday doing steady state cardio thinking negative thoughts to yourself you could be undoing exactly what you are trying to do while you are trying to do it…
Because your body is listening to what your mind is telling it.
Your Coach,
Rachel Cosgrove

Butternut Squash Penne
This isn’t as trivial or cool as it may sound, but I think it tastes great.
Plus its super healthy!
Cook whole-grain or organic penne to directions.. I cook about half a box.
Prepare and cook, either one half of a medium butternut squash, or one bag frozen.
Once the butternut squash is near finish mix in about 1/2 – 1 cup of whole organic oats.
Place the penne in a large bowl, mix in 2-3 tablespoons of organic butter.
Then top with squash and oat mix.
Season with fresh cracked pepper, sea salt.
Enjoy.
Very simple, high in fiber, high in complex carbs.
And it’s super filling.
