We’re serious: bring in a workout partner – free of charge for one week – any week, all next month. After all, who’s got the better chance of sticking with a fitness program: Betty, who works out by herself? Or Susi, who exercises with her partner? Studies show that couples who workout together increase their [...]
How would you like to have a personal trainer for less than half the cost and benefit from the camaraderie and accountability of working out with a couple of your friends? One of the hottest fitness trends in the country is Small Group Training. It’s effective, affordable, and motivating. And O3 is the first in [...]
How’s a person to figure it out? Weight loss is a complicated advertising-ridden jungle, and some folks struggle their entire lives to find the elusive answers. We waste money and time in the pursuit of the perfect body. Well-known diets, often based on some sort of deprivation set the hook and reel you in. But [...]
