More Love and Less Love Handles

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and love is in the air at CalFit. We believe that couples that work out together, stay together! Here are some reasons why you and your significant other should make a date night at the gym:

1) It’s about quality and not quantity:  Instead of sitting through a movie munching on high calorie popcorn, head to the gym together. Couples that work out together interact more with each other. You’ll reach your fitness goals and feel like you’ve accomplished something with your loved one at the end of your workout.

2) To have and to hold…to motivate and to support:  Who better to push you to work harder, lift heavier and run that extra mile than the one you love? Also, there’s no better motivation than hearing praise from your significant other.

3) Feel more connected to each other: It’s a known fact that the chemicals produced in the brain during a workout (such as endorphins), help us feel happier and less stressed. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be sweaty and in a good mood around my better half rather than peeved and non-sweaty.

4) Make it a threesome (no, not that kind!) – Invest in a personal trainer to guide you through a couples’ workout. Your personal trainer will guide you both through new exercises, teach you correct form, and listen to each of you complain about each other. A personal trainer is like a marriage counselor, but cheaper and with bigger muscles.

5) Show off the goods: Face it, you’re going to look out of place at the restaurant in your spandex yoga pants and matching sports bra. Take those booty shorts and your boyfriend to the gym.



Whoever does less sit ups has to take the garbage out tonight...



Now is the perfect time to schedule that date at the gym. Starting Monday, February 13, celebrate Valentine’s Day by bringing your loved one to boot camp all next week for free! Not only do you not have to pay for your date but he or she can't return your gift of fitness.

Last day to participate in free boot camp is Saturday, 02/19. Call or text Ben for details at (415) 246-5191.
