Pointing out there are five components \u2013 having goals, strength training, cardio, personal assistance, and personal nutrition \u2013 to fitness training, McCall added, \u201cWe make that available to all of our members through our personal training and all our equipment. Our goal is we want lifelong exercise practitioners. We want you to be a lifelong fan of exercise. We want people to learn how to make this a daily habit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a goal, but it\u2019s changed and developed over time,\u201d said Dawes, who is from the Midwest, about his workout progress. \u201cInitially, I came in to get in shape and feel better about myself. But when you start to see results \u2026 you just become, \u2018I\u2019m doing this every day.\u2019 What my goal is today is very different than it was initially.\u201d<\/p>\n
EOS Fitness San Diego at 3156 Sports Arena Blvd. is a fitness chain offering a high-energy environment with loads of fitness equipment both inside and outside the facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe give the tools so our members can start tracking their progress,\u201d said McCall adding that\u2019s why EOS has such a wide assortment \u2013 Olympic platforms, machines, dumbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, etc., of fitness equipment.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s \u201cSubmit Your Fit\u201d contest is held annually and is open to all members who would like to share their transformational stories, along with their before-and-after pictures. EOS team members vote on one gym-level winner from each EOS location. These winners then move on as company-wide contestants and the top five winners are determined based on votes from the entire EOS community.<\/p>\n Of Dawes\u2019 progress, which allowed him to win the Submit Your Fit contest, McCall said, \u201cHe\u2019s really dialed in.\u201d McCall added customizing the experience of members has led to an evolutionary shift in the fitness industry. \u201cThe gym has changed significantly over the last 10 or 15 years to look more like an athletic training facility,\u201d he said. \u201cAt EOS, we\u2019ve changed our fitness floor to match the needs of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked how his health, both mentally and physically, has improved from working out, Dawes replied: \u201cOverall the energy level, for sure. I made a conscious effort to get up and work out running early before I would start my workday. My mental acuity has gone up and I just feel sharper. And my mood is just overall better when I have more energy.\u201d<\/p>\n McCall talked about a new rest-and-recovery approach to gym workouts being practiced at EOS. He explained that, while people need high-intensity exercise to stimulate muscle growth, it takes your body 24 to 48 hours to recuperate and replace things like carbohydrates and damaged muscle fibers. \u201cAll that is happening during the rest and recovery phase and then you\u2019re ready to go (again),\u201d McCall noted.<\/p>\n Of his fitness \u201cevolution,\u201d Dawes said, \u201cI wanted to look good on the beach but I knew I needed to be in shape if I wanted to be anybody. Now it\u2019s a part of life. It\u2019s like, \u2018Why do you get up and eat every day?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The ethos at EOS is to encourage members to work gradually toward achieving their fitness goals. \u201cA little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing,\u201d McCall concluded. \u201cThat moves them in the direction of becoming a regular exercise practitioner by starting small.\u201d<\/p>\n Dawes concurred pointing out, \u201cThe more effort you\u2019re willing to put in \u2013 the more you get out of it on multiple levels.\u201d<\/p>\n EOS FITNESS<\/p>\n Where: 3156 Sports Arena Blvd.<\/p>\n Hours: Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n Contact: 619-226-9500.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Connor Dawes, a member of EOS Fitness in Midway, committed himself to a training regimen that has won him the club\u2019s annual \u201cSubmit Your Fit\u201d contest.
