Yes, it’s now almost the end of January and this is normally when most people start falling off track of their resolutions and others are more motivated than others. Which category do you fall into?

As for me, this is a reason why tangible goals are so important. We must be realistic with ourselves and not set ourselves up for something we not be able to reach in one month. I explain to my clients all the time that change comes with consistency, with dedication and with patience. We all want it ”NOW” and when that doesn’t happen we look for the easiet way out…the “weight loss pill”, surgery, fad diets and whatever we can get our hands on. It’s no wonder that in our society we have chidren’s obesity, how are we to teach our children anything when we can’t seem to stay on track ourselves?!

It seems that something must click in before we finally decide to make the commitment to health. I’m hoping this year in 2012, whatever health and fitness goal you have, you make the commitment to stick with it and see it through. You will be greatly rewarded and never doubt yourself again. It’s an awesome feeling to reach a long term goal that has been such a struggle.

(Yes, I know this picture is upside down..that’s how i felt after my workout!)
My journey to my PRO card with the WBFF has truly begun! My diet is on point, my training sessions have been fantastic and the best part of this is, my team is involved in my process! 2 of my trainers, Kirk and Matt, are taking the time to train (torture) me and are excited to be part of this journey with me. I know the areas that I need to develop more and as a team we are killing it!
Last week I completed what Kirk and I named “The Perfect 10 Backside Blast!” It’s a routine with all the emphasis on my backside, not just my behind but all of my backside! I’m very enthusiastic about all of this and to share this with my team means even more!
Our Extreme Fit Team is growing, we have more girls I will be preparing for competition and in 2012 I am happy to add 2 men to our team that will also be competing for their 1st time! We are ready to rock the stage with our physiques and stage presence to represent all of our hard work, dedication and TEAMWORK!!!
My heart smiles as I ponder on my team that has developed and how 8 years ago when I began to compete I would have never guessed I would now be coaching so many awesome new competitors to follow in my footsteps! It’s an honor to train you all for this great challenge and I look forward to seeing you excel your own personal goals in 2012!

It’s always that time of year when I sit and ponder what my goals are for the upcoming year. For me it’s not resolutions, it’s goal setting and an action plan on how I will achieve my next goal. I’m still in awe every time I walk into my new facility and now my goal and vision is to see my gym completely packed, with wonderful motivated clients that my team and I are helping to reach their personal goals, their health and fitness needs, but yet so much more! After I strategize my business goals, I then go to my own personal goals… and here is what I have concluded. I took this past year off from competing to focus on my business, focus on my new “Fit Team” girls that I have trained for their 1st competitions, and to grow my business in all areas! I also took this past year off to truly meditate and figure out where I personally wanted to take my own competitive career. I’ve been a seasoned competitor, Nationally Ranked, have my 1st place titles and have dealt with all the politics, all the craziness, and the sabatoge that was done to me personally,…so what’s my decision for this year? I’m going for my Pro Card with the WBFF Federation. WHY you ask??  It’s in my blood, it drives me to be better than before, to transform myself physically and mentally! To push myself beyond my own limits and REMEMBERING that I am doing this for me! I won’t give up until I know in my heart that I’m done…I’m ready for this next year of an amazing journey and I have my trainers on my team that are helping me lift and develop! Thank you KIRK for helping to train me, you are next on stage!!! We are going WIN this thing together as a TEAM!!

I have been a personal trainer for over 18 years now and there’s always a trend, Nov-Dec are the 2 months when attendance usually drops. I always think to myself.. why do people feel the need not to workout in the months when they know they are going to eat, drink and be merry?! All their hard work throughout the year goes out the door in the last months of the year and then they ask me..why can’t I fit into my NEW YEARS outfit?! Really?! Now is the time more than ever to hit the gym hard because you know you may be intaking all those extra calories. PLUS if it’s your lifestyle there is no “off” time, you know who important it is to keep it a part of your everyday plan.

I encourage you to continue your exercise regimen in this last month, don’t allow the busyness of the Holiday season deter you too far away from taking care of yourself. The gift of Health and Fitness is one of the best gifts to give yourself or a loved one. When we take care of ourselves it filters into all other areas of our lives and we are better for everyone! This Holiday season, take care of you! Hope to see you soon!!

It’s here, it’s happened, my DREAM came true!

Extreme Results Fitness has truly arrived, I now have my own personalized FITNESS GYM that offers all the fun, wonderful classes that I’ve wanted to offer with the personalized touch of awesome instructors! This has been quite a journey for me, it’s been many years of hard work, dedication and sacrifice. I dreamt about this when I was just starting out my training at the young ripe age of 18!! I loved fitness and nutrition, it intrigued me and there I found my passion…FITNESS and HEALTH! I had visions and dreams of all of this and now it has become my reality. I’ve had my ups and downs but would never trade it for a second! All the obstacles and steep hills are what created and developed me to be who I am today…a strong, independent, motivated, goal oriented woman that would not give up! I am so grateful for all my wonderful friends and family that have traveled this path with me! I hope you all know that I share this DREAM COME TRUE with all of you!

I hope you all come on out and support us…We as a team have over 65 plus years of incredible experience, each with a different background, style and certification. Not only that, I’ve always wanted to create an environment where my clients would have everything all in one place….with that said we have Andrea’s Finishing Touch with us for your beauty and massage needs and we are now certified for airbrush spray tanning as well. Fitness, Bikini and Physique competition prep is also taking off, my Extreme Results Fit Team has now been gracing the competition stage with many of my clients that I have been honored to coach.  I AM SO GRATEFUL and so humbled that all I can do is say THANK YOU to all who believed in me and supported me all these years!! WE DID IT…Please come and share my passion with me and help me grow! Once again, THANK YOU fro the bottom of my heart!!

Much love and appreciation,

Jeanette

Here it is…..my “BAD-ASS MOBILE”!!!!! All I can say is I LOVE IT!! I still look at my awesome “wrapped vehicle” and think wow…that’s me, that’s my business! I have always dreamed of owning my own business and being successful and LADIES and GENTLEMEN….it’s happening and still growing!!

It’s been many years of learning, there’s been tears, exhaustion, and many hours of lost sleep…but in the end I wouldn’t trade it in for anything! I’m an owner of my own business, have many wonderful clients who I now call my friends, awesome instructors behind me…not to mention that it took awhile to really develop my team and know who to trust and who I couldn’t..it’s been a journey to say the least! But in the end…actually not the end…another beginning…it’s time to grow and have my passion for health and fitness explode on a different level!

I will never forget a couple of years ago I spoke with my mother telling her of all my great ideas and BUSINESS expansions and she asked one simple question “are you truly ready for all of this?” I answered of course I am, but in reality I wasn’t, I didn’t have the team that I have now…I wasn’t as “learned” as I am now. I’ve been in this industry for 18 years now but as I grow I understand my mom’s question and her wisdom behind it. Now I can stand proud and if she asked me that question again…without a doubt…guess…. “YES”!!!!!!!!

I hope you all join my awesome seasoned team here at “Extreme Results Fitness” and “Jeanette Ortega’s Boot Camp”…if you see me driving on the streets please wave and say “HI”!!!! :0)

I had another awesome opportunity to train and prepare another client for her 1st Bikini Competition… BUT not just any client, she just turned 50 Years Young and decided…what the hell….let’s do this! At the age of 50 she took on the challenge, commitment and discipline to train hard and furiously for her 1st bikini competition…..and WOW.. she did an amazing job! She placed 4th in her 1st competition but not only that, she was competing against younger girls since there was no one else in her age division. WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!

I feel very fortunate to be a HUGE part of her journey and any person’s journey when they decide to take their fitness to a whole different level! I tell every client, this is not just a physical transformation but it transforms your life, your mind, your heart and your soul! You push yourself through tough situations that you didn’t think you could.. you start believing in yourself more than ever before and the inner strength becomes a warrior cry because there’s no turning back, only looking forward and hiking the trail!

I myself was inspired by Kelley’s discipline and commitment, even though I have been competing for 7 years, have my titles and trophies, she struck a cord within me. Her desire to do this for herself at age 50 was so fantastic to me… It’s a testimony once again that age is JUST A NUMBER!

Cheers Kelley, I’m honored to have you join the “Extreme Results Competition Fit Team” You are an inspiration to many and myself as well…I look forward to seeing where this journey will lead you, you are ONE strong, fierce woman and I LOVE IT! Go for the GOLD!

I’m very excited to be training “B Real from Cypress Hill”. He is a great talent and has such a great story to tell. I will be interviewing him and will continue to post his progress as we journey his health and fitness goals together.

He has just completed week two with me and he is a humble kind man who is very strong and determined. All trainers would love to train a celebrity and help them reach their goal and while it is exciting and fun, they are human just like everyone else and desire to be in shape, healthy and fit for their performances, their families and their fans.

I am honored to train “B Real” and I’m pushing him hard and encouraging him every step of the way…I know he will reach “his own” fitness goal plus more…I see great potential in him and I’m excited to put it all together!!! Keep your eyes open for my 1st interview with B Real and much more to come!
