Across the country and around the world, people are slowly starting to go back to their usual routines as stay-at-home orders are being lifted. This means some of our favorite places are opening their doors.

Hair and nail salons are seeing clients. Restaurants are serving customers all while maintaining social distancing guidelines. Many gyms are also back in business, arranging their equipment six feet apart so we can get those all-important workouts in.

If you’re not ready, that is okay. We’ve got you covered! The FASTer Way to Fat Loss will continue to offer fast and effective at home workouts - it is what we have done since the beginning and what we will always do.

Here are ten advantages to staying at home to stay fit:

You gain quality time. One of the beautiful things that came from being at home over the past couple of months is that many of us realized that we missed time with our families. So many of our FASTer Way clients have made their workouts a family affair, even the little ones are able to join in with our Kids Workout series. Cutting out a gym commute and adding more time with your loved ones is a pretty great trade-off.
You can’t avoid it. When you make a decision to work at home, the first thing to do is designate your workout space. Lay out your weights, your FASTer Way bands, and any equipment you will want to use. When you give yourself a permanent space (and it doesn’t have to be a huge space), your gym stares at you all day long until you get that workout done!
You can create a lifestyle. By working out at home, you can create a lifestyle mindset rather than a “have to do” mindset. Home is where we are our true selves. It is where we relax and unwind. Working out at home can help you begin to understand that exercising and living a healthy lifestyle is a part of who you are and what gives you peace in chaotic moments.
You can be you! We see it all from our coaches and clients who work out at home and it is awesome! From “Spirit Days” to holiday attire and even pajamas, we see our clients feeling free to be themselves. You can work out wearing what you want (although we are partial to our FASTer Way shirts!). You can feel free to learn movements and make mistakes without judgement - all you hear is encouragement and real talk from your favorite FASTer Way Head Trainers!
You won’t waste any time. Sure, we have already mentioned the commute but there is so much more time you won’t be wasting. Capacity in gyms right now is limited and so is equipment. There is a good chance you may be waiting to use a machine or free weight as others get their workout in, too. At home, your equipment is all yours to use when you like!
Okay, let’s say it…GERMS! Even before we started living in a Coronavirus world, germs have been a concern of gym goers and gym owners. Most gyms are doing a great job right now because of strict regulations. However, in your house you KNOW how clean you keep your FASTer Way yoga mat and your dumbbells, and you aren’t relying on someone else. Of course, it is important at home to keep your space clean in order to get the most from your workout.
No photobombs! When you are proud of your workout, you know you want to share it on social media! That is awesome! Be proud! At home, it doesn’t feel weird to share your favorite moves with your virtual friends and you control what is happening in the background (mostly) at home. Plus, if social media sharing is not your thing, you won’t be making any accidental cameos in someone else’s fit post!
It is easier to refeed those lean muscles! Have you ever left your post-workout fuel at home when you go to the gym? Talk about hangry! If you are used to fasted workouts this may not be tough on you. However, if you are an afternoon or evening workout person, you are counting on that macro boost. Your home gym has an unforgettable juice bar and kitchen with all the whole food macros to feed that lean muscle.
The encouragement is truly special! Our clients have been sharing such sweet stories of their kids giving them an encouraging clap and cheer during their workouts and we’ve seen kisses from fur babies as they recover from our highly effective workouts. There is so much love involved in a home workout – boosting the feel-good hormone serotonin.
We make it simple and affordable! The special thing about the FASTer Way at home workouts is that they come with incredible community, exciting new movements and goals, meal plans, wellness education, and dedicated coaches! It would be hard to go to a gym and find all of the value in one place that you receive with our app and groups.

The FASTer Way to Fat Loss lifestyle is for all fitness levels and we know some of our clients do love hitting the gym to focus. That is what makes us the premier virtual nutrition and fitness program. Our app offers at home, gym, and low impact versions of the workouts and exercises to find exactly what you enjoy!

Our latest round starts June 29 – sign up today for BONUS access to workouts and a meal plan.
