I want to officially welcome you to 2020. A new year has begun and for a lot of us, this is the time of year we reflect on ourselves and past actions and try to improve. It doesn’t have to be anything super crazy. It could be as simple as you want to spend less time on your phone and more time connecting with your friends and family. But now it’s time to strap in and get ready for my top 5 New Year fitness scams and I think number five…is going to really mess with your head. So be prepared!

#1. The “AT HOME EQUIPMENT” Scam
The dark side of the fitness industry preys on the fact that they know you want to get in shape, but also exert minimal effort and that is where devices like the Shake Weight, Electric Ab Exercisers, the Waist Trimmer Belt, and Pec Sculptor for example come from.

Now yes, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING, but devices like these will give you a false sense of accomplishment. Take the Shake Weight for example. If you spend the majority of your time on the couch being lazy, then of course 10 minutes of activity a day over the course of a month is going to yield results. It’s all about how many calories you’re BURNING vs consuming. But is this the solution to your 30 pound fat loss goal? No, because after that first month you’re more than likely going to plateau on your weight loss until you clean up your diet and introduce a more intense training stimulus. But I am not saying fitness needs to be HARD or CRAZY INTENSE to see results, I’m just saying you need a bit more structure if you want reach your goals.

#2. The “Supplement Store” Scam
So, you enter a supplement store to get your first bottle of protein because you heard it can help with gaining muscle. You’re with me so far, right? Now, this CAN be a physical store or an online store. When online if you were to buy some protein say on Amazon, at the bottom of the screen you will see something like, “people who bought THIS also bought THAT”. That’s how Amazon likes to upsell you with bundles. By showcasing the purchase history of other customers which to be honest, can be helpful if they are bundling something like a pre-workout and creatine.

But things can get real intense when you enter a supplement store. I’ve heard a sales clerk once sell protein to a guy to help with recovery, which is fine, but then walked him over to the counter to sell him fat burners to burn more fat, then some pills to lose “all his water weight” AND THEN offered a MASS GAINER to help him build more muscle. It was ridiculous and you could tell the sales guy didn’t know much about what he was selling, but knew that key words like “more muscle”, “fat burning” and “water weight” would peak the customer’s interest.

Remember that these guys are trying to make a sale so they’ll tell you EXACTLY what your subconscious wants to hear and that their other “customers” are having AMAZING results with the same supplements. But don’t be fooled! Business is business and these companies need your money to keep the lights on. Always remember that supplements are NOT the solution to fitness. Can they help you? Absolutely, but only after you’ve got your nutrition and training under control. Even my own stack is very basic and consists of BSN SYNTHA-6 EDGE Protein, N.O.-Xplode for pre-workout, creatine and fish oil. But that’s me, YOUR decision and YOUR choices should only be after you’ve done your research, understand their purpose and combine them with a smart training and dieting plan.
