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.

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
