In this feature interview, Fitspeek’s Kevin Heinze speaks with the ever-passionate Bruce Wenting about his coaching experiences, what a person can expect if they come out on a Tuesday, and of course coffee!

In addition to having specific and measurable goals, one of the best ways to help achieve your resolution is by using a commitment device (so says the Huffington Post as well as other Social Science researchers.)
A commitment device is basically just fancy talk for yelling it out at the top of your lungs from a rooftop so that everybody in town can hear.
The Fraser Valley’s fitness community is your town, we supply the rooftop, you supply the lungs.
Post your resolution as a comment below by either using your real name or nickname and we will let others in our community know what your goal/s are and if you are so inclined, HOW you intend to achieve your goal/s. Don’t be surprised if we drop your name in an upcoming Fitspeek podcast.
It’s all about fun. fitness, and community.
Check out our list so far over on the New Year’s Goals and Resolutions page on your menu to the right.
