    How To Spot A Fake Rolex - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman - Owner and Founder What does this subject have to do with exercise/nutrition? More than you might imagine. Have you ever fallen for something that, in hindsight, you realized was pretty dumb? I have. Many times. I suppose that’s one of the cool things about getting older… attaining new levels of wisdom. Wisdom is very different from book smarts and street smarts, and it seems like the only way to attain it is with time. Trial and error are great teachers. In my programming presentations during workshops, I always say that if success leaves clues… failure leaves step-by-step detailed instruction. As a business owner, husband, strength coach, and ....

    if you missed it. I may ruffle some feathers when I say this, but after doing this coaching thing for over 15 years now, I’ve gotten to a point where I can almost tell in the first ten minutes of talking with someone whether or not they will be a good student in our facility, and/or will get the results they are looking for. Yes, on occasion I get proven wrong, but it’s very rare. In today’s post I’m going to share with you what the ‘tell’ is. Why would I share this on a blog post? Well, there’s a mindset component that I think can help you take on ....

    I Just Wanna Tone Up A Little... - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder The title of today’s post, in the world of serious trainers and coaches, is analogous to the sound of nails on a chalkboard. I’m sure every profession has something like this: A couple coming into a busy restaurant on a Saturday night and asking for a, “Quiet table.” A client going to a hair salon with a photo of a woman that looks nothing like her saying, “Can you do me up like her?” A lead pastor of a church finds out a family who has been attending for years is leaving because the church that just opened down the street has better coffee and a rock-climbing wall for the kids. They tell the pastor, ....

    How Balanced Are You? - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder In our recent post
    about massage therapy, we spoke about how many of us have a difficult time finding balance between tension/relaxation in our lives as well as our training. In today’s post, I’d like to take a moment to put a finer point on what was brewing in my head on that. My first deep dive into this topic came from a woman who made one of the biggest impacts on our system and training methodology, Bea Bolan. Among many other things, Bea taught Tai Chi for many years. A number of us at The Protocol got to experience her as an instructor as well as a mentor. Last month marks 3 years since we lost her, but her legacy lives on ....

    How You Derive Comfort Says A Lot About You - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder The inspiration for today’s post came from an unsuspecting place… the toilet. Wait. Wait. I can explain… For those who don’t know, I’m a bit of a Jack-Of-All-Trades. I’m a licensed Realtor and although the fitness world keeps me pretty busy, my alter ego stays busy in the world of real estate. I’ve actually been doing real estate longer than I’ve been in the fitness business (it’s my backup plan for when they successfully teach robots to coach people). Anyway, some of you may be too young to remember this, but not long ago toilets used to look quite different than they do today. They were round ....

    What To Look For In A Massage Therapist - Tucson Massage Therapy Blog

    Today we have a guest post by our massage therapist Terry Hall. It may sound like a shameless plug for massage therapy service… that’s because it is (I see no point in lying to you). Before you write it off, however, I’d like you to ponder something as you read it: I’ve heard it said before that there is no such thing as ‘over-training’, there is only ‘under-recovering’, and I couldn’t agree more. Earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending a two-day seminar by Pavel Tsatsouline on the subject of breathing and recovery called Second Wind. The name of Pavel’s organization is ‘Strong First’, and the question ....

    The Way You Anything Is The Way You Do Everything - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder The title is of this blog post is a quote that is attributed to Martha Beck (there is also a book with the same title by Suzanne Evans). I first heard this quote about 8 years ago from a yoga teacher at the end of her class. It was one of those things that really resonated with me, and I still think about it often and use it in my coaching. I’ve wanted to write a post about it for some time now, and since it’s New Year’s resolution season, I figured the timing was pretty good. Hope you enjoy… The spirit of the message, as I see it, is that the sum of our actions contribute to the overall essence of our being. What do I ....

    Guest Post: My Year-Long Weight Loss Journey - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    Today’s blog is a guest post from a former student of ours from a few years back. He trained pretty hard when he was here, but there seemed to be something missing for him, and he discontinued training with us. I haven’t heard from him in a long time, but then he sent me this email out of the blue. In it, he breaks down some of the missing components and why he wasn’t able to accomplish his weight loss goals when he was with us. Some things had to change for him internally before he could take the necessary steps to make long-term sustainable progress, which he did! Since his story is both multi-faceted and inspirational, I thought it would make a great post for the ....

    The Journey Vs The Destination - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder I’m writing today’s post as our powerlifting team is coming off of an outstanding performance at a local meet. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of the hard work and dedication these guys and gals put into their meet prep. We racked up 18 state records, one national record, and two best lifter awards. To date, our facility has set 110 state, 33 national, and 29 world records in competitive powerlifting. Go Team Protocol! Whenever we finish up a weekend like this, there’s always a little bit of a letdown afterwards. If you’ve ever dedicated a ton of time to prepare for one big moment (marathon race, big ....

    Are You Really "#blessed"? - Tucson Personal Training Blog

    By: Jerry Trubman, Owner and Founder I suppose we can file this month’s post into the “Get off my lawn!” category, but I hope the message is something that will at least give you some things to ponder. Proceed with caution… I have a social media pet peeve to share with you: the ‘#blessed’ hashtag This hashtag is generally accompanied by photos involving awesome vacations, fancy cars, upscale personal belongings, etc. Now look, there is nothing wrong with having nice stuff; this is not the issue. As an immigrant who came to this country at a young age, much of my young adult life, as well as my parent’s lives, was spent chasing what is ....

“I noticed a sign on the side of the road that said, “Get Fit Today” with a phone number. That was May 2011 and I still look forward to my 6 a.m. workouts with Jerry. Each and every week, I continue to get stronger and healthier, this is evident by my increased working weights and the noticeable increase in stamina I have during the workouts. I truly enjoy the ever changing and challenging workouts that are planned out for each session. There is no mundane boring exercise routine here! Living a healthy life is easier when you surround yourself with like-minded people. The Protocol is truly a healthy addiction for me!”

I’m in the best physical condition of my life, and as a Type 1 Diabetic, my blood glucose is more predictable and I take less insulin than I did before. I’m also extremely satisfied in the simple, effective approach that Jerry takes in his methodology.”
