Guest blog by Coach Kevan Smith

"I’m often asked what drives me to keep pushing myself. The simple answer is fear. My biggest fear in life is the status quo. Fear that who I am now, in all aspects of life, is the best that I can or will be. I simply refuse this as truth. I can always be better, and it’s this refusal that helps me to keep trying to improve every day.

I truly believe that many of us find ourselves just accepting that our current situation just is what it is. Why? If you have the power to improve, why do you not? If you can be a better man or woman, or just in general a better person, why do we accept not being? Many of our clients come in and have experienced success before, whether that success has come professionally, in their relationships, or even just physically. But why can’t we be successful in all fields? I’ve never understood why a person just accepts themselves as who they are, when we all have the potential to improve as a person.

Not only do I think everyone can improve in all these categories, I am absolutely convinced that they are all interconnected. Being successful in one field is not linear, it spills over into other parts of each of our lives. Health and wellness is not limited to the physical it reaches all aspects of life, including the metaphysical, the mind, a person’s attitude, their confidence, and their passions in life as well. Health and wellness is as directly related to our relationships as it is to our diet. Our careers are just as related to our health as it is to our physical make up. Everything is connected. If we struggle in our careers, our attitude and stress will likely reflect such, same with our relationships, and the same with our physical well-being. If we do not take care of our physical health, what actually feels the majority of the effects is unquestionably our mental health. It’s this dichotomy that many people just don’t realize. That our health and wellness is more related to the mind than it is even the body.

Many of you are probably familiar with the Serenity Prayer, it reads: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” It’s such a simple concept, yet many of us refuse to heed this simple advice. There are many things that we cannot control, but we can control ourselves. We do have the power to be better. We do have the power to achieve more in our careers, we do have the power to be a better spouse or friend, and we do have the power to improve ourselves physically. So what’s stopping you? It just takes the will power to try. The worst thing that happens is you get knocked down, and then you just have to dust yourself off and get back up. Because it’s not the finish line that matters, it’s the many steps you take to get there that truly matter."

Does scale weight matter? Coach Mariah sets the record straight

2012-02-01T06:02:00.000-08:00

Reveal #810 made a bikini competition her 12 Week RVX Group Training Goal - and she knocked it out of the park! Congratulations to both her and Coach Nicole! Click here to see her 'Before' picture and more outtakes from her special day!

So what was her scale weight, you ask?

Answer: It doesn't matter.

If that answer is confusing to you, like so many of the confusing things personal trainers say, then this blog post is for you! Coach Mariah sets the record straight on scale weight: when it matters (sometimes it's one of the most important numbers we have!) and when it doesn't (in some cases it's totally irrelevant and worthless!). Ok now you're super confused, right?! If so, then read on...

Scale Weight 101, by Coach Mariah

"Scale weight does NOT matter!" I said the other day to a client.

The client sat there are stared at me, flabbergasted. For weeks I have been harping on him about his scale weight and there I was saying it didn't matter.

Seeing that this man was confused, I stood there and considered what I was about to say.

After 10 years coaching RVX Transformations and RVX Reveals, I recognize that I sometimes just assume that people understand the confusing things that pop out of my mouth. I get impatient with them not following my logic. (Yes, dear reader, I realize that impatience is my biggest weakness. It's also my biggest GIFT, propelling me to coach dramatic Reveals and Transformations season after season, year after year. But so you know, I have HEARD your feedback on this character flaw and, as soon as the build-out is finished on the new RVX building I will be coaching 1 hour nutrition seminars every Saturday from 9 - 10 am Austin time (after the RVX Community Workout) which will be pod-cast and downloadable from our new website, revex.com for our internet audience. There will be question & answer period so I can explain RevEx logic on different positions, tricks, tips and tools that don't make sense to clients at first blush. This way you'll no longer have to deal with confusing one-liners from Coach Mariah or call Coach Gabe to figure out what the heck I just said. But I digress.)

With this man sitting there waiting for my response, I realized I needed to step back and explain the logic that got me to my conclusion - step by step.

"Read the blog tomorrow morning," I said. "I will explain and you'll get it."

So here it, the steps in my logic that got me to the conclusion - written up on the board like we did in high school math class - so you can see how I got to the solution: that scale weight does matter - sometimes. But how what when where why? Hopefully after reading this you, too, will have these connections hard-wired into your brain (like they are in mine) so that next time I say, "scale weight doesn't matter!" in the same breath as, "what's your scale weight?" you'll know why.

Onward.

Scale Weight 101

"Scale weight doesn't matter" is one of the most confusing things trainers say.

What they should say is this: "Scale weight doesn't matter RELATIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE. It absolutely DOES matter relative to YOURSELF."

Case in point.

There is a RVX client who WON'T tell anyone her scale weight - because it's well over what most men weigh.

I told her this was silly. She's tall and has a high lean body mass. "Scale weight doesn't matter," I said to her when she started the program.

But then when she was down 9 lbs in 2 weeks this past week and I congratulated her on her HUGE drop and she said, "Wait I thought scale weight doesn't matter?"

Here is why I said seemingly contradictory things.

Your scale weight matters relative to YOU. YOUR lean body mass (the weight of everything on you BESIDES fat) will NOT increase much over the course of three months (you're lucky if you gain a pound of muscle). It will also NOT increase much over the course of ten years (I have a TON more muscle now than I did ten years ago but my lean body mass has only increased by about 5 or 6 lbs). So your scale weight is a GREAT indicator of how FAT you ARE or AREN'T. YOU can and SHOULD monitor your scale weight as a GREAT indicator of whether or not your are losing FAT.

But your scale weight does NOT matter relative to OTHER PEOPLE - EVER.

I will use the RVX Coaches as examples to make my point (thanks guys).

Me at 155 lbs

When I personally am RIPPED for a photo shoot or competition, I weight about 150 lbs - more than some guys and WAY more than you think a bikini model should!! So I am one of those girls you always hear about with a high lean body mass.

Me at 150 lbs

But let's say I weight 165 or, God forbid, 170 and I start dieting for a competition. If, two weeks later I still weigh 170 - I have a problem. No, I am not putting on muscle (it takes months to make major gains that will actually show up on the scale, as I said above). And no, I am not bloated (unless I weighed 165 yesterday and 170 today - in which case yeah maybe I'm bloated but it stands to reason I'll be right back down to 165 tomorrow). So my trainers (RVX Coach Kevan and WBFF pro-figure coach Kim Oddo) have every right to lay into me about my scale weight. Because MY scale weight matters relative to ME.

Now let's use an example where my scale weight DOESN'T matter.

Coach Nicole weighs about 122 when she is in a competition or a photo shoot (she actually feels she gets too shredded so she is going to stop water manipulating and try for 125 next competition).

Coach Nicole in the center between RVX Angels at 122 lbs
(She thinks she got too shredded so she is not going to manipulate her water next time, shooting instead for 125 lbs)

If Nicole and I stand on stage together - Nicole at 125, Mariah at 150 - but we have the same PERCENTAGE OF BODYFAT, well then... I'M GOING TO LOOK BETTER HANDS DOWN!!!

Ok ok so maybe Nicole is going to look better than me (she is - she is after all our head coach of the RVX Elite Bikini & Physique Team so she had BETTER look better than me! But I can still fight for the honor can't I?! lol). But in this is instance if I were to say, "Oh my gosh I weigh 150 and Nicole weighs 125 I am SO FAT!" I would be WRONG. If we are both 10% bodyfat, then it would be silly for me to be EMBARRASSED about the fact that I weight 150 and Nicole weighs 125. Rather I should be bragging: I have a higher lean body mass so therefore I get to eat more, my muscles are going to pop more, and I am going to have a higher metabolism. Take that Coach Nicole!

Here is another even better example of comparing your scale weight to someone else's (or, as Coach Eric likes to call it, comparing water and gasoline). Here is Coach Sheryl at 150 lbs, 10.5 weeks out from her upcoming photo shoot & competition.

Coach Sheryl at 150 lbs

Coach Sheryl and I are approximately the SAME height. So why will Coach Sheryl weigh 140 on stage when I will weigh 150? Well that's just a matter of build. Coach Sheryl has this exquisite long, lean build to her - a graceful, gorgeous gazelle-like physicality reminiscent of a dancer. By rounding out her shoulder caps and adding a little oomph to her bootay she has effectively maximized - and made darn near perfect - the physique God has blessed her with.

My build is stockier, even at 5'9" - more like a gymnast - or, as the industry stands right now, a Pro Figure competitor, who are typically stockier, gymnast-like girls who have effectively elongated their physique through the trick of proper training, making them look graceful, athletic and balanced. Which is partly why Coach Sheryl's goal is to be a nationally recognized fitness model - who typically have physiques like what you see above, ie absolutely perfect. Meanwhile my goal is to be a WBFF Champion, whose physiques are typically more like mine, and more what you would see in a typical muscle magazine - but perhaps too much for the general public. Coach Sheryl and I are both classic examples of 'working with (and PERFECTING!) what God gave us'. Take what you got & work with it - don't waste time wishing you had a body like the girl next to you make yours the best it can be - it's what it's all about, right?!.

So again - same height, same bodyfat percentage - but Coach Sheryl will likely WEIGH 10 lbs less than me on stage. Different build, different bone density, organ size and so on. (Although anyone who knows her would VIRULENTLY disagree that I have a bigger heart that Coach Sheryl, one of the most thoughtful, sweetest, inspiring women on the planet and a GOD-SEND to all us fitness chics out there in need of INSPIRATION on a DAILY BASIS!!).

So if scale weight DOESN'T matter in the above examples, then what DOES matter??!

Bodyfat percentage.

For women:

8 - 10% is only appropriate for a figure competitor (and it is only held for a day or two),
10 - 12% is ripped,
12 - 14% is athletic, and
15% and under is ideal.
Anything under 20% isn't bad but,
If you're over 20% it's time to get to work.

For men:

3 - 5% is only appropriate for a bodybuilder or physique competitor,
5 - 8% is ripped (Coach Kevan sits at around 7% bodyfat year-round)
8 - 10% is athletic (Coach Eric sits at around 8% year-round; Coach Gabe sits at around 8 - 12% year-round)
Coach Gabe is Latino and, like me, insulin resistant (it's a trait often found in Latino populations which is why I mention his ethnic background). This means one bad meal or a couple extra carbs stick to Gabe and me much quicker and more easily than they do to say Coach Kevan or Coach Eric - hence the greater range of deviation cited above. The fallout? Both Coach Gabe and I have to stick to our diets more rigidly year-round than some of our peers. To which we have two options: get frustrated, or shrug and do work. We both chose to shrug and do work, living Crossfit / paleo / gluten-free life-styles and using carbs as a tool to build muscle rather than as a nutrient source (yeah, that's another Saturday lecture. HA!)

12% and under is ideal
15% and under is great, but over 15% you have some work to do.
As with women, you really do not want to be above 20% bodyfat - ever.

Knowing this number you can do an inverse calculation to figure out your ideal weight based on bodyfat percentage. Too complicated? Email Coach Eric at info@revelationfit.com and he will set you up for a consultation with himself or our Austin area manager Coach Gabe. We can check your bodyfat percentage and get you set up on a plan to reduce your bodyfat and up your lean muscle content.

One last thing: there is ONE exception to the above rule, but it ONLY applies to about 1% of people I come in contact with so I GUARANTEE you are NOT one of them unless while reading this you can look down and see your abs. The only reason I'm even bringing it up is so that no one reads my blog and mentions it as an exception to my rule.

The exception: the hard gainer (we have one, Coach Eric).

Coach Eric is a hard gainer. His naturally lean build worked well for him as a runner at Kent State. As a Marine preparing to serve in Afghanistan, however, Coach Eric had to change his training and pack on the pounds

Coach Eric is a hard gainer. If he doesn't train his scale weight plummets back to the runner's body his genes have blessed him with. His bodyfat is consistently 8% but, after 12 Weeks of training with RVX his weight went UP from 175lbs to about 185lbs.

Coach Eric gained about 10 lbs of muscle in 12 Weeks of RVX Training

We took about a month off of training over the holidays and Coach Eric's scale weight shot back down quickly. The 'hard gainer' is the ONE person whose WILL gain muscle during RVX Training Cycles (as we focus his training almost EXCLUSIVELY on this goal) and whose scale weight WILL go up - but he (and it's almost always a he) is typically already 10% bodyfat or below when he starts training. So DO NOT put yourself in this category unless you can already see your abs.

That's all for now. Good luck this week. Train hard, eat clean & stay focused on your dream. And watch that scale weight!

Remember: We are all in this together.

Who says clean eating has to be bland or boring?

2012-01-22T17:42:00.000-08:00

I had an eye-opening week here at REVEX.

A Latino client of ours from Corpus Christi laid it out for me: "I cannot eat clean Mariah," he said sadly. "I associate food with joy."

I stared at him blankly for a minute.

"But wait," I thought to myself. "I associate food with joy too."

I considered it for a minute and realized something profound: I had never told this client - or any of our blog readers - what a typical, marvelous day of food looks like for me.

So here it is: my Sunday of eating. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did. According to my food journal it totaled about 1,350 calories and was balanced between protein and carbohydrates. I tend to eat Paleo for the most part, but Sundays I allow more treats and carbs to slip in.

9 am - wake up after a ritual Sunday sleep-in and have coffee with a bit of BNRG Mocha-flavored protein powder in it

10 am - Protein pancakes made with almond flour, almond milk, oatmeal, eggs, egg whites and protein powder with blueberries. YUM. Eric had bacon and eggs on the side of his but I wasn't feeling particularly meaty today. Strange for me I am typically a carnivore.

12 pm - protein shake with frozen peaches and 2 scoops of almond-vanilla protein powder with a little almond butter mixed in. I make it thick so I can eat it like ice cream beside Eric, who eats the real thing on Sundays. Must be nice to be a guy.

2 pm - large salad with romaine, kale, butternut squash, salmon and an apple

4 pm - powercrunch choklat bar - tastes like the real thing and maybe my favorite Sunday treat.

6 pm - cocoa with 20-calorie diet cocoa mix and BNRG Choloate-Fudge protein powder, a couple of slices of turkey and some strawberries

8 pm - almond-crusted chicken parmasean with marinara sauce and broccolli on the side. Eric makes this so well it is TO DIE FOR and I look forward to it all day. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow as it's all gone lol

If you hadn't noticed, I eat ALL DAY and LOVE everything I eat.

So if you're thinking you can't commit to the REVEX Program because it's too extreme, the buck stops here. Click here to see all the amazing RVX Reveals and RVX Transformations.

If you are a REVEX client, email your client manager to get ideas on recipes and delicious ways to live this lifestyle. If you aren't, email me at mariah@revelationfit.com - I'll be more than happy to help you get your head around how to make this lifestyle work for you.

RevFit Tops Austin Fit Magazine's List of Top 10 Trainers for the 3rd year in a row!

2011-12-09T07:47:00.001-08:00

From the article, due out New Years Day, 2012...

"For the third year in a row (and In its third year in business), Revelation Fitness tops the Austin Fit Top 10 Trainers list.

RevFit's 12 Week ‘RevEx Program’ has made waves in the Austin community – and nationally – for the dramatic results it produces. A year ago the company not only topped our list but was poised to become one of the nation’s fastest-growing startups. So it came as a shock to many when owner Mariah MacDonald resumed her role as CEO of the company and let go of a number of trainers and staff whom she herself had hand-picked and trained.

MacDonald explains, “When I started the company I had a vision that all clients could and should have nothing less than a life-transforming experience. From the outside, from a results perspective, it was working.” Indeed, no one can argue with the amazing before-and-afters the company seems to churn out on a monthly basis. But from the inside? “We had about a 50% customer service satisfaction rating. That was a harsh pill to swallow when revenues were growing and people I’d trained myself from the ground-up were content.”

And now? “According to our surveys, customer satisfaction is up to 90%. We have systems in place to catch any dissatisfaction early so we can course-correct for the individual client. I spend about half my week making sure everyone is happy and on-track. In the end it’s just like Physique Transformation: it’s painful, your old friends aren’t gonna like your new ways, and you assume a ton of additional expenses knowing that it will be worth it in the end.”

And was it? If January is any indicator, MacDonald’s ‘crazy’ idea worked. “We are having the busiest month in our business’ history. The new team is amazing - lots of ex-military and people who transformed themselves - so are 110% committed to seeing this vision come to life at any cost. They bust their butts. It’s an incredible environment to work in.”

Indeed, on day of interview RevEx is bustling with 10 Trainers and ‘Client Managers’ (RevEx’s nutrition coaches) milling around cracking jokes before their team photo shoot. In a corner nearby a stunning, petite client doing her ‘After’ shoot chimes into our discussion. “12 Weeks ago I was in a size 12/14 and 30 lbs heavier. My marriage was on the rocks and I’d had liposuction and a tummy tuck. Now I walk in here in my 4 petite an d everyone is staring at me, thinking ‘some women must just have it easy’. Ha! It’s testimony to Mariah’s vision: to Reveal people and Transform their lives. Love her, hate her, say what you will about her – but you can’t deny that she has something that no one else in this town has and has shared it with allot of people, trainers and clients alike. She’s an entrepreneur's entrepreneur.”

And with RevEx Version 2.0 killing it, MacDonald seems poised to to take over the world." - AFM

Considering a Reveal? Read what one recent client, size 12 to a size 4 in 12 weeks had to say about the RevEx Program...

"If you are really serious about making a change in your life and getting into great shape, you need to contact Mariah and the Revelation Fitness team!

In July this year I made a commitment to myself and to Revelation Fitness to "burn the ships" as Mariah says, and transform my body over 12 weeks. In the beginning I had serious self-doubts and found it so hard to imagine that I would see anything close to the amazing results that I had seen a friend of mine achieve with Mariah, or the success stories on the company website. I chose to follow the online program since I travel for work more than 50% of the time. The commitment paid off! With the training, guidance and support from Mariah's team, I achieved and surpassed each of my goals. I lost 27 lbs. and dropped from size 10 to size 4 for the first time since I was in my 20's! I planned my reveal to coincide with my birthday party and my results were right on schedule! The results were worth everything I put into those 12 weeks! Mariah and her team have the perfect program and worked with me as an individual to get into awesome shape!"

Reveal #801, lost 27 lbs & went from a size 12 to a size 4 in 12 Weeks! See her 'After' photos when we get them by clicking here!

Veterans Day Saturday Free Community Workout: "Abatte"

2011-11-11T10:33:00.001-08:00

This Veterans Day Saturday please join the RevEx Community at Stephen F Austin High School, east side by the red pullup bars, for a very special Community Workout Challenge: "Abatte," a Hero WOD (Workout of the Day) in honor of Sgt Matthew Abatte.

SGT MATTHEW ABATTE

Sgt Matthew Abatte served 3 tours of duty in Iraq, Japan, and ultimately Afghanistan. Part of 3rd Battalion 5 Marines Regiment Darkhorse.

He was 26 when he was killed in the line of duty.

Abatte was a scout sniper. This means: getting dirty, doing whatever it takes to get the mission done, and teamwork. His Hero WOD will reflect this.

Sgt Abatte always put the humor side to things but knew when business called for action. He was ALWAYS the first to do anything. Everybody loved him; his death was a low point for his entire battalion.

Most memorable characteristics, according to comrade and RevEx Coach Eric Ziegler: "His complete loyalty to other marines as brothers. Even if he just met you."

Sgt Abatte is survived by wife Stacie, son Carson Abatte, parents Karen and James.

"ABATTE"

Please join us this Saturday, October 22nd from 8 to 9 a.m. for a very special workout in honor of Sgt Matthew Abatte, Sept 10 1984 - to Dec. 2 201o.

Coach Eric, Abatte's comrade, and Coach Mariah will be leading this Hero WOD.

Don't be shy, the workout is scalable to all fitness levels from beginner to elite athlete. Bring water, a mat, gloves, Powerade Zero, or G2, or Nuun and a towel

RSVP: Email us at admin@revelationfit.com with your name and any guests' name by Friday at 5 pm (current clients can sign up through your MindBody link)

We'll see you out there and look forward to having a great workout!

2011-10-26T15:59:00.000-07:00

"I am tempted to write a cheesy allegorical testimonial involving of being lost at sea, drowning, having a life saver thrown out to me, burning my ship, and reaching new shores.

But instead I am just going to say this: When I started my 12-week Transformation, the one thing of which I was certain was that I was unhappy. I wanted to change, and I was SO ready, but I needed help. My weight loss goal seemed insurmountable, and I didn't know how to reach it in a healthy way.

I had seen the ads for Revelation Fitness in many Austin magazines, and had fantasized about undergoing the kind of transformation the otherwise-normal people in all those ads had undergone. They all looked so strong, so healthy, so tan and shiny, and so DIFFERENT from their "before" pictures-- and it had only taken them twelve weeks. In the words of "30 Rock" character Liz Lemon, I thought, "I want to go to there."

I made the call. I waited excitedly for my orientation with the famous Mariah, where I imagined I would tell her shyly that all I wanted was to fit into the size 0 jeans collecting dust in my closet. The last time I had been able to squeeze into those jeans was five years ago, but I couldn't bear to part with them. Doing so would mean admitting that I would never be that small again, condemning myself to a lifetime of skinny-fatness.

Well, Mariah came in like a tornado, and by the time she left, fitting into the size 0 jeans had fallen by the wayside as a goal in favor of competing in a bikini contest, which happened to fall almost exactly at my 12-week mark. Wearing those skinny jeans would be a happy byproduct of preparation for the contest, but was not hardcore enough as a goal by itself. Not only did I agree to strut on stage, nearly naked, in front of hundreds of spectators, but I also agreed to blog about my experiences and post my blog updates to Facebook. I had agreed to a ridiculously lofty goal, and I had agreed to tell everyone I knew about it. My ships were on fire.

Over the next twelve weeks, I changed dramatically. I became stronger, faster, more confident, happier, skinnier, and more knowledgeable about how to take care of myself. I went from a diet of nearly 100% carbohydrates to a diet of balanced protein and carbs. I learned to nourish my body, rather than simply satiating my desire for food and drink that taste delicious. I received overwhelming support from friends, family, the RevFit Community, and even total strangers. Yes, there were days when I fell off the wagon, hard, and ate peanut butter and ice cream in grotesque quantities. But I learned the valuable skill of picking up where I left off, not beating myself up or panicking, and forging ahead.

By the end of my 12-week Transformation, I had lost 18 pounds and gone from 22% body fat to 8.5%. I competed in the bikini contest, and although I didn't place, I didn't look out of place. Oh, and I could fit into those jeans too.

RevFit helped me clarify my goals, and then built a program specifically for me to reach them. I needed to be accountable to someone besides myself for what I was doing and eating, and RevFit provided that accountability. I needed to have fresh, challenging workouts every time I went to the gym, and RevFit kept me on my toes. I needed to know that my goals weren't unreasonable, but completely within my reach, and RevFit gave me the confidence and tools to reach them.

Hallelujah, I have seen the light. Amen."

Reveal #785 Crowned Queen! (of Ship Burning (TM))

2011-10-14T12:03:00.000-07:00

Reveal #785, 137lbs to 118lbs, 22% to 8.5% bodyfat in 90 days!

En route to her first bikini competition this past weekend in Houston with the RevEx Elite Team, she was "wearing jeans I haven't worn since high school. HIGH SCHOOL."

Wait what? Bikini competition?! How did this lawyer, future wife (she hired us to look pretty in her wedding dress) and all-around BRANIAC wind up in a bikini competition?

Well, dear reader, that's because this Reveal "got" Ship Burning (TM) to her core. She realized after speaking with Coach Mariah that if she did something 'out there' and had people hold her accountable (Burn Your Ships (TM) as we say at RevFit) that she would hit her original goal.

She even blogged about her experience - publicly. Read it for youeself! Her first entry is here and her final entry is here!

Stubborn Determination

2011-09-23T11:10:00.000-07:00

Ryan Looney

"We are a nation of physical animals who have forgotten how much we enjoy being that. We are cushioned by this kind of make-believe, unreal world, and we have no idea what we can survive because we are never challenged or tested." - Fight Club

To live fit in our modern world takes a bit of defiance, stubborn determination and a willingness to live outside the fold.

It can sometimes feel solitary and isolationist.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

We here at RevelationFitness are right there with you. We want to CELEBRATE the JOY that comes from achieving - and maintaining - your goal alongside you.

Which is why each week we send out a motivational email from RevEx HQ filled with tips & tricks to keep you focused and help you make the choices you'll need to make to maintain your fit and healthy lifestyle.

To be added to our Community subscriber list simply shoot an email to Coach Nicole: nicole@revelationfit.com. All are welcome.

Also come to our FREE RevEx Community Workouts each Saturday at 8 am in two locations: downtown at Stephen F Austin High and in Lakeway / Bee Cave at Bee Cave Park.

At least half of getting what you really want is knowing what you must give up in order to get it.

How stubborn is your determination?

Onward.

2011-09-22T16:29:00.000-07:00

A Special Family Reveal: a Family of 4 Loses 90lbs in 12 Weeks!

2011-09-18T15:49:00.000-07:00

Transformation #700, a family of 4, lost over 90 total lbs and gained over 20 total lbs of muscle in just 12 Weeks!

Mom: At 56, is back to her 20 year-old weight (but much more fit & toned)!

Dad: lost 48 lbs in 12 Weeks!

Son: Gained 6 lbs of muscle and learned what nutrition he needed to fuel ongoing muscle gains!

Daughter: Got fit, toned and more limber to more fully enjoy her college experience (also happens to be a brilliant gal who skipped a year of college and who moonlights as a unicyclist/juggler!)

Here is there story....

"Dear Mariah,

My family had our photo shoot last Saturday at the end of our Reveal Yourself Program. My husband and I exceeded our expectations in what we accomplished. I met every goal I set out and look better than I hoped for. My husband lost a whopping 48 pounds (so far!) and has come back to life after 10 years of being stressed out by his job and letting his health go downhill.

I certainly proclaim loudly to anyone who will listen what a great program you have and what great things it has done for me and my family. As others have said, it's the best investment I have ever made.

For me… it was cheaper than liposuction and of course I am much healthier than I would have been with that approach.

For my husband… it was much cheaper than treating the Type II Diabetes or heart attack he was headed towards down the road he was traveling.

In short, this program was actually quite economical compared to the alternatives!

Now here's what was my motivation and the back story to why I wanted to do the program.
My mom died in 1977 at age 56 from cancer. All my younger life I had been told how much I looked like her and acted like her. She was a beautiful woman in her youth, but smoked, drank, and did not exercise. When she died so young I vowed to live my life differently so that I would live to see my children grow up, get married, and have kids. And I kept that promise to myself. Thirty-five years ago I became vegetarian, I gave up alcohol and lived as clean a life as I could imagine--all except one thing. Throughout my heavy scholastic schedule, medical school, residency and practice as a physician I let the exercise piece go.

In 2010, I turned 56. Soon I would pass the exact age at which my mom died. As the year wore on, my stomach started to ache (like hers did before she was diagnosed with stomach cancer). I began to feel tired all the time. My stomach swelled. My sleep deteriorated. I knew it was probably just a psychological reaction to my identification with her, but I was very distressed. Then in the fall, I chanced upon a Revelation Fitness Ad in Austin Magazine. Normally I pay no attention to such things, but your ad jumped out at me. It was a sign to do something more. And yet I still could not act.

On January 1, 2011 I had outlived my mother by exactly one day. I felt exhilarated somehow to start the new year as a truly NEW year. I had made it past the magic mark. I was not going to suffer the same fate. Something nagged at me however. My body was saying just surviving is not good enough. It is time to be all that you really can be and to let go of the past. I started throwing things out, I plunged into whole new projects in my personal life that required me to take more risks and chances. And I finally got up the nerve to call Revelation Fitness and give my body what it needed to go the next 56 years.

And here I am, at the end of my (first!) program. My weight is back to where it was in my 20's and 30's but with one big difference. I am now so much more fit, toned, and strong! I look better in that teensy bikini than I ever did in my 20's! I don't look or feel the 57 I will be on my birthday in a week. I am so happy I saw that ad and I am so happy I called you. Thank you to Mariah and the whole Revelation Fitness team for everything!

Warmest regards,
Nina"

Transformation #706. So What's Your Excuse?

2011-08-21T13:51:00.001-07:00

"I'm Todd Duderstat. I'm from Manor, TX.

I have 3 kids.

I work all night long. Then drive an hour each way to workout with Mariah MacDonald.
Some days I have to sleep in my car until she gets there.

Some might say she's intense or insane.

I say, 'Give me more of that'.

I bring that.
She matches it.
That's what I do.
That's what she does.

What's your excuse for not doing it too?"

Transformation #706. 12% to 4% bodyfat

Gained 11 lbs of muscle, lost 12 lbs of fat in 12 Wks

So What's Your Excuse?

Change starts with a goal.

2011-08-15T06:05:00.000-07:00

These ladies are regular women with extraordinary bodies. They did not start that way, but they came to Revelation Fitness with a goal of improving their appearance, and they succeeded. For them, the goal was a figure competition. For you, the goal may be to drop a size or to fit into an outfit of your youth or to be in better shape for your wedding or your next birthday. Change does not happen overnight, but it does happen in twelve weeks. If you have a goal, RevEx wants to help. Contact us today for information on how we can help you.

Take Control with RevEx.

2011-08-05T09:39:00.001-07:00

Take control of your health. That's what Jessica did. Jessica decided that she wanted to get into shape and feel good about how she was aging. She contacted Revelation Fitness in search of accountability towards her goals. Through our one-on-one coaching, she took control and wowed us.

Look at her progress from Week 1 to the end of her program:

She looks fabulous, right? But even better than how she looks is how she feels. Today, when Jessica works out, she feels good and has fun. She knows she can run two miles comfortably or do a group workout and hold her own. She feels confident in her ability to maintain her current level of fitness because she enjoys working out. She's taken control of her body and her health.

At RevEx, we want to equip our clients, not just to succeed in the short term, but to succeed in the long term. We want to equip our clients to take control of their health and well-being - whatever their age. We want our clients to feel the way Jessica feels. Strong. Confident. In control.

Like Jessica, you can get there. RevEx can help.

RevEx Can Take You Anywhere!

2011-08-03T08:55:00.001-07:00

Not everyone joins RevEx to lose weight. Our clients come to us with a variety of goals, and we adapt their programs to serve their individual needs.

One example is Cheryl, a marathoner, Ironman and admitted endurance junkie. Cheryl was lean when she signed up for Revelation Fitness with her husband, Mike. Mike’s goals included weight loss, but Cheryl’s primary goal – at the beginning - was to build mass.

This is Cheryl when we met her:

This is Cheryl at the end of her program:

Both Cheryl and Mike met and exceeded their goals, but Cheryl did something unexpected. This working mom decided to stretch herself way outside of her comfort zone. She challenged herself to compete in a figure competition. She worked on her body and built up the confidence to trade her baggy running clothes for a tiny bikini and not-so-tiny heels.

RevEx is proud of Cheryl and Mike and all that they accomplished. We wish them continued success with each new goal.

Whatever your fitness goals, RevEx can help. Call us today to design a program specific to you.

A Family Transformation

2011-07-10T14:41:00.000-07:00

Dear Mariah,

My family had our photo shoot last Saturday at the end of our Reveal Yourself Program. My husband and I exceeded our expectations in what we accomplished. I met every goal I set out and look better than I hoped for. My husband lost a whopping 48 pounds (so far!) and has come back to life after 10 years of being stressed out by his job and letting his health go down hill.

I certainly proclaim loudly to anyone who will listen what a great program you have and what great things it has done for me and my family. As others have said, it's the best investment I have ever made. For me it was cheaper than liposuction and of course I am much healthier than I would have been with that approach. For my husband, it was much cheaper than treating the Type II Diabetes or heart attack he was headed towards down the road he was traveling. In short, this program was actually quite economical compared to the alternatives!

My mom died in 1977 at age 56 from cancer. All my younger life I had been told how much I looked like her and acted like her. She was a beautiful woman in her youth, but smoked, drank, and did not exercise. When she died so young I vowed to live my life differently so that I would live to see my children grow up, get married, and have kids. And I kept that promise to myself. Thirty-five years ago I became vegetarian, I gave up alcohol and lived as clean a life as I could imagine--all except one thing. Throughout my heavy scholastic schedule, medical school, residency and practice as a physician I let the exercise piece go.

In 2010, I turned 56. Soon I would pass the exact age at which my mom died. As the year wore on, my stomach started to ache (like hers did before she was diagnosed with stomach cancer). I began to feel tired all the time. My stomach swelled. My sleep deteriorated. I knew it was probably just a psychological reaction to my identification with her, but I was very distressed.

Then in the fall, I chanced upon a Revelation Fitness Ad in Austin Magazine. Normally I pay no attention to such things, but your ad jumped out at me. It was a sign to do something more. And yet I still could not act.

On January 1, 2011 I had outlived my mother by exactly one day. I felt exhilarated somehow to start the new year as a truly NEW year. I had made it past the magic mark. I was not going to suffer the same fate. Something nagged at me however. My body was saying just surviving is not good enough. It is time to be all that you really can be and to let go of the past. I started throwing things out, I plunged into whole new projects in my personal life that required me to take more risks and chances. And I finally got up the nerve to call Revelation Fitness and give my body what it needed to go the next 56 years.

And here I am, at the end of my (first!) program. My weight is back to where it was in my 20's and 30's but with one big difference. I am now so much more fit, toned, and strong! I look better in that teensy bikini than I ever did in my 20's! I don't look or feel the 57 I will be on my birthday in a week. I am so happy I saw that ad and I am so happy I called you.

Warmest regards,

Nina, aka Reveal #692

2011-07-04T16:19:00.000-07:00

"You have a formula that works. You have a formula that introduces better, stronger more fit people into the world....

This weekend, I had an opportunity to be in my bathing suit. I can’t tell you how good it feels to walk openly and freely around with no cover up. To feel proud of how you look, to know that I finally made a commitment to a better version of me. One that now feels as pretty on the outside as I did on the inside. And to know that a company exists that was just as committed as I was to the cause.

You should feel really proud of what you do. That you have a formula that works. You have a formula that introduces better, stronger more fit people into the world.

I had so many friends look at me with distain when I told them how much money I was spending. In some respect, they thought I was crazy. I did the math. It was about $200 per pound. I wonder how many people would jump at the thought to shed their insecurities, the disgusting looks in the mirror that I gave myself over the last couple of years, for what I now call a measly $200 per pound. I would gladly pay it all over again.

Mariah, when I first met you, you told me I would have the best summer of my life. There is not a doubt you will be right. My internal light is shining as bright as it possibly could be.

I thank you for the commitment you made to me. And I am now even more thankful to the one I made to myself. This type of commitment feels good. Real good.

Thank you for all that you do. You have my continued support and referrals."

"Hey, just wanted to say THANKS again for helping to activate the most important muscle of all, the "faith" muscle, i.e. actuallly being able to believe elite fitness was achievable for an "regular" person like me...

I was prompted to write because I set a new PR in my "Fran" time, my first sub-3 minute Fran (by the slimmest of margins, did it in 2:59 last week). Somehow I thought you would love to hear that...I couldn't have done it if you hadn't gotten me to believe...

I thought it merited a huge THANK YOU to you because you helped me learn to set "ridiculous" goals like a sub-3 minute Fran time.

It wasn't all that long ago that you had me do a Fran as a homework assignment and it took me a full 20 excrutiating minutes to get through the thing. .."

2011-06-18T15:42:00.000-07:00

"On February 26, 2010, customers at 7,100 Starbucks stores in the US were asked to leave. For the next three hours every barista in every Starbucks was retrained in the art of making the perfect espresso.

A note posted on 7,100 locked doors explained the reason:

'We're taking time to perfect our espresso.

Great espresso requires practice.

That's why we're dedicating ourselves to honoring our craft.'"

- Howard Schultz and Joanne Gordon, from "Onward"
How Starbucks Fought for Its Life
without Losing Its Soul

This past week I stepped in at RevEx, formerly Revelation Fitness as ceo. As many of you know, I had been functioning primarily as owner of what has become a massive, rapidly expanding company.

When clocks struck 5 p.m. on Monday, we gently asked our clients to leave HQ in Austin, TX and the doors were locked behind them. We then began a massive restructuring and re-delegation of responsibilities both in and outside our company.

The main focus? "How might we provide for best in class customer service experience in Austin?" Along-side what already has become best-in-class results.

People before profits. The love affair with our customers that started this whole thing back in its humble days on the gym floors of Washington, DC.

While RevEx will be back on schedule this coming week, we have a long way to go.

Making sure we deliver on all our promises, earning the trust so required to guide our clients through their Physique and/or Performance Transformation.

The road ahead is long, and we are reared for battle.

"Ultimately, closing our doors was most powerful in its symbolism. It was a galvanizing event for Starbucks' partners - the term we use for our employees - a stake in the ground that helped reestablish some of the emotional attachment and trust we had squandered during our years of focusing on hypergrowth. A bold move that I stand by today, it sent a message that decisiveness was back at Starbucks. No doubt, after that Tuesday, thousands of of Starbucks espresso shots were poured like honey." - Howard Schultz

Our Community has demonstrated unbelievable support in our recommitment: the city's top CEO's, consultants, financeers and business people have stepped up along-side us to provide guidance and services in our recommited path. Our feircest competitors here in Austin, most notably David King and Monica Brant stepped in to cover classes and sessions as needed to ensure that our clients were serviced.

More importantly, you our clients have trusted us. I expected attrition with the move. Yet only ONE among you - ONE - has asked to be released from his contract.

I have to tell you that part downright shocked me.

This means you trust me, and that you trust that what I did was for the best for our goals, our Mission, and our Community. For that, you have devotion and gratitude.

I write this blog to you, our clients, to re-commit to you that I will be there every step of the way along side you in your journey to make sure that your results, your experience - your Revelation Experience, or RevExperience as we are now calling it - is guarded with every fiber of my being. You will see this resonate down through the staff and trainers in the massive re-education initiative we are about to embark on.

"There are moments in life when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead."

I would like you all to know how much I have enjoyed being in the field this week, hearing your stories and experiences - the good as well as the bad. I have taken note of every good peice of feedback you've given. It's reinvigorated me as an entrepreneur.

"Pouring espresso is an art, one that requires the barista to care about the quality of the beverage. If the barista only goes through the motions, if he or she does not care and produces an inferior espresso that is too weak or too bitter, then Starbucks has lost the essence of what we set out to do 40 years ago, inspire the human spirit. I realize this is a lofty mission for a cup of coffee, but this is what merchants do. We take the ordinary - a shoe, a knife - and give it new life, beliving what we create has the potential to touch others' lives because it touched ours."

I have also taken note of the bad, and for this I offer my devotion. We have engaged people in this town who brought to life the likes of Whole Foods to make sure that this is a season to focus on cutomer experience, client voice, building trust - and making sure you are heard.

Building Community, Living Transformed. That is what RevEx is about - and I will be right there along=side the team in our commitment to this misison.

Onward.

Mariah MacDonald
founder, sole managing partner, and once again ceo of RevEx

Reveal #512, 55 years young. Lost 40lbs & 18% bodyfat in 12 Weeks!

2011-04-06T15:06:00.000-07:00

"This was taken on Feb 4 at 150 lbs. That's about 3.5 Wks into my 12 Week Challenge. I'd lost 9 lbs since we officially started, and had lost 14.6 lbs since I first met with Mariah on Dec 30." - Reveal #512, 55 years young. 165 to 125 lbs, 31% to 13% bodyfat. 12 Weeks

(We are still working on convincing her to let us use her real 'before' picture stay tuned!)

Reveal #512, on being such an amazing Transformation, to her coach Stephanie Flores via text:

"Aw Steph! I'm so glad you're proud of me - you've done a great job yourself! (I told my husband from the beginning - ok, you're gonna have to find me the right kind of coach since I'm sooooo undisciplined...")

You did a great job pulling it out of me without making me cranky about the work it takes - that's quite a talent!

Remember when you & Mariah came over for Orientation and I told you "I'm the kind of person who has always avoided exercise if I can possibly do so?" So that makes your being proud of me all the more rewarding. I'd never have expected to be a "good client" poster girl! Cracks me up actually - I'm gonna have to realign my self-image, huh?"

What It's All About

2011-03-31T13:20:00.000-07:00

"This really has to be the best investment I've ever made.

...

I needed someone to tell me what to do - with a little bit of arguing on my part (right Stephanie....) I've learned how to make the right decisions about food - the major part of the Program - and then what workouts were best to get me into tip-top shape (this was where most of the arguing took place).

...

It's been almost two months later and I'm actually a little below my goal weight. Even contemplating moving the scale down a notch or two.

...

When I started this, this was my ship-burning statement: "In the 54 years I've been on this planet, I've taken care of a husband (of course, being an ex, he'd disagree), our son and my mother. Now I'm fixing to take care of myself. In 3 months from now, I'll be in the best shape of my life. And then I intend to stay that way."

...

Still don't like the lunges. Will avoid doing any sort of lunges. Will always avoid doing any sort of lunges.

...

As Mariah said, she didn't care how many lunges I did or did not do, it was staying on target on the food intake/calculations. And I'm enough of a numbers nerd to have been goofy about inputting my nutrition info every day and plugging my numbers into the spreadsheet. What's nice now is that I can mentally know what I've eaten (and what it might do to me) and how hard I'm exerting myself on the exercise front.

...

Again, best investment ever.

...

If I don't take care of myself, don't rightly know who actually will."

...

Everyone Has a Story. So What's Yours?

2011-03-27T14:15:00.000-07:00

I've heard before that RevFit has a secret sauce... Some of it, fyi, is formulaic, but much of it is tactical.

....

If you think your coach is being 'mean' or 'tough love' they just might be acting that way to get you to YOUR goal.

...

Such was the case with Reveal #501. Without getting too deep into it, Reveal #501 you should know.... (if you haven't figured it out already).... allot of the 'tough love' stuff was tactical - to get you to your Goal.

...

In hitting your goal without complaint but rather by taking full responsibility for each and every step you took along the way, you impressed us all with your INTEGRITY and GRACE.

...

And you blew it out of the water.

...

As such, we proudly unveil Reveal #501, 170 to 135 lbs, 12 Weeks.

Revelation Fitness is all about bringing professional-level results to the masses. Dave sees that vision - it's what his whole career and life have been about - and he will now be a huge part of making it happen.
