Redefining what it means to work with a fitness coach or personal trainer.
Have you been exercising regularly at home or at the gym but aren’t seeing the results you want?
Have you been thinking of beginning an exercise program but aren’t sure where to start?
Do you like the thought of exercise but hate the thought of crowded gyms and intimidating atmospheres?
Having trouble making it to the gym?
Need more intensity in your workouts?
Lets face it, if Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods need a coach, chances are you do too.
What makes O3 different?
Approach: We know you feel there are too many obstacles in the way for you to begin an exercise program. These obstacles are real and can seem insurmountable. The good news is there is plenty of evidence that if you can convince yourself that physical activity is important, you may find a way to eliminate those obstacles. We’re here to help you make that commitment.
Experience: Developed by Keith and Marlena Wimsett, O3 Health And Fitness was created for a personal one on one exercise and coaching experience. Keith, an accomplished personal trainer and kickboxing instructor, and Marlena, a highly skilled massage therapist, opened O3 to build meaningful relationships with people who want to be healthy in all parts of their lives.

Philosophy: We believe that your training session doesn’t end just because the clock says “time is up”. We are here not only to help push you in the weight room but also to guide you in all aspects of your fitness journey.
Managing your fitness involves 4 strategies
1. A strength-increase strategy: Whether you are trying to lose weight, improve your fitness, or even “bulk up”, you must increase your strength. Plainly put: muscle burns calories. The more lean muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn even at rest. Studies show that adults over 25 need to strength train 3 days a week in order to stave off our bodies natural loss of muscle.
2. A cardiovascular strategy: Another weapon in the fat burning arsenal, cardiovascular (cardio) training also improves your heart-health and endurance. This improvement allows your cardio system to be more efficient in its fat burning mission. Our coaches can help you set cardio goals based on your fitness level.
3. A food strategy: This is where most people struggle. You must eat a healthy balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fibrous vegetables and fats. You also must be careful not to under eat when trying to lose weight. Our coaches can help you determine the right calorie count for you. How many meals should you eat a day? We believe smaller, more frequent meals (5 or 6 a day) is the best food strategy. Why not eat every 3 hours and keep that metabolism ramped up all day long!
4. A hydration strategy: Our bodies are composed of 75% water. Active men and women need to drink 8 to 10 8oz glasses a day. Sodas, coffee and tea do not count! They actually dehydrate the body. Are you drinking enough water every day?
