How would you describe Lay It Down Fitness & Nutrition Center?
What’s the difference between exercising at a traditional global gym versus training with Lay It Down Fitness & Nutrition Center?
The bottom line is that a traditional gym is, for the most part, set up for exercise, and our gym has the goal of training in mind. What’s the difference between these two?
EXERCISE
According to a Huffington Post Article from 2014, exercise is “physical activity done for its own sake.” The person looking to get in some exercise will have the primary goal of burning a certain amount of calories and sweating for a specific amount of time. Typically, it means doing the same routine on repeat, or having a set schedule of cardio + a targeted area (i.e. Monday, 30 minute run and arms; Tuesday, 30 minute elliptical and legs).
Exercise is good. It’s an important part of remaining healthy. But exercise does not have to be limited to this type of routine.TRAINING
Training is also exercise, but it’s the kind used by professional athletes. That six pack or those biceps you admire on that pro-athlete you watched on TV last weekend are not a result of an exercise regimen. They’re a result of training. Training is NOT exercise done for its own sake. It’s exercise with a specific goal in mind.

For the average person, it might be strange to consider that this might be a better option than simple exercise. After all, if you are not a professional athlete, then what are you training for? However, it’s obvious that it’s this type of training that creates true results, that turns people into athletes.
