For the general population, working out is tough. Besides the strict diet regime that comes along with it, routines are not easy, and a workout will make every muscle ache in the following days.

But perhaps the hardest part of exercising is keeping it up.

A single day of not feeling up to it can lead to a couple more days of doing nothinguntil your schedule gets ruined and you do not know how to start once again.

That is where thefitness social networkcomes in.

What is a Fitness Social Network?

A social network allows you to reach out to people with the same interests as you or friends you have not seen in a long while. You can connect with your followers and tell them how your day is going by.

A fitness social network works the same way. But instead of posting photos about your latest travels, this network focuses on your fitness. The people there all have one goal in mind: to be physically fit and healthy.

With these social networks, you can share an exercise routine that works well for you and perhaps to some people like you. Or you can share healthy recipes that go well with either weight loss or weight gain.

Social Media and How it Helps You

Social media ishelping peoplestay fit.

Have you ever posted going to the gym, and have people comment about positive changes to your body? Then, one day, you want to quit working out, but realized it would not look good on your social media if you stopped all of a sudden? Most especially if people are looking up to your fitness journey.

It has happened to a lot of people. There have been studies that suggest sharing your fitness goals and journey on social media makes you stick with it more.

It could be the feeling that people will look at you badly for stopping something you seemed dedicated to doing. Or, it could be positive comments about your road to fitness. Perhaps you have found people who share the same struggle as you and have found inspiration from your posts.

Either way, social media can help you stay fit. And in a social network that mainly focuses on fitness, you can never go wrong.

Getting Useful Information

Besides being weak-willed and sticking to your routine, you can also gain a lot of helpful information on fitness social networks.

It is not surprising to find professional trainers that help beginners. You can find people that will not only root for you but also help you by correcting mistakes and suggesting routines that fit your lifestyle and goals.

Find people that you can go to the gym with or even jog with. Since everyone has the same interests, you can find the perfect gym buddy that will push you to keep on achieving your goals.

A Positive Environment

Every success, regardless of how small it is celebrated maybe you lost a few pounds over a month? People on your fitness social networks are genuinely happy. And that is because they have had the same struggle as you did.

With such a positive environment, it is not uncommon for people to stay motivated to stick to their fitness journey.

Chef Justin Cogley And LAuberge Carmel

Running a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star restaurant is no easy task, but for triathlete-chef Justin Cogley, its practically a walk in the park.

The Carmel, California-based toque helms the kitchen at Aubergine, where he turns the central coasts gorgeous seaborne bounty into works of edible art.

The Chicago native worked under acclaimed late chef Charlie Trotter for four years before being tapped to helm Four-Star LAuberge Carmels signature restaurant, where he and his team have earned myriad accolades over the past few years.

To stay inspired, Cogley consistently introduces new culinary experiences, from a regular roster of cooking classes to his Rediscovering Coastal Cuisine collaborativedinners.

Forbes Travel Guide recently caught up with the decorated California chef to learn about his culinary inspiration, chat about his unique globetrotting adventures and understand why in the world hes training for a 100K ultra-marathon.

Chefs Take on Abalone

Prior to becoming a chef, you had an interesting career. Can you tell us about it?

Absolutely. It was interesting. It was a career that completely changed my life. I was a professional figure skater for Feld Entertainments Disney on Ice. I had the opportunity to travel the world, experience cultures, food, see the wonders of the world all while performing. Oh, and I even met my wife [while I was a skater].

I made sure I took every opportunity to learn about the city, the culture and the food of every place we toured to. I absolutely loved being overseas exploring markets, eating at Michelin Star restaurants and enjoying the recreation of the area, whether it was hiking a mountain [like] Mount Fuji or climbing the Great Wall of China.

What inspired you to turn to cooking?

I always enjoyed cooking from a young age. I knew that was the career path I eventually wanted, but traveling the world performing as a professional ice skater was just too good to turn down.

It is a way that I get to be creative. I love beautiful places and creating beautiful plates. I like a good challenge and I have found a career that certainly does that.

Aubergine's Avocado Dish

You recently became a triathlete and long-distance runner. What sparked that interest?

If I am being really honest with you, I had gained almost 50 pounds working in a very intense culinary environment. I won a lottery at The Treadmill [running store] that got me into the Big Sur Marathon, which I could have never done without a friend who encouraged and coached me every step of the way, from gear to positively believing in me.

Most of the people in my life tried to stop me from partaking, as I was so out of shape. However, I missed the athletic side of myself, and I had to do it. Then I was hooked! I moved on to triathlons, Ironman competitions and now I am really into endurance trail running.

Thanks to Suunto Multi Sport Team, which I am currently on, I am able to travel to find 100K races. This allows me to keep exploring my palate as well, finding new flavors and creating even better dishes!

Do food and fitness have a correlation for you?

Absolutely. I like to cook food that tastes amazing but isnt loaded with fat. It is possible to cook amazing, flavor-filled food that people can enjoy, and your body will feel good after eating it as well.

Most people enjoy enticing flavors that are not heavy.Some of my dishes take days to prepare, but the flavor is worth it.

I also find that fitness inspires me. When I feel healthy and I am running on trails, I get my best ideas. In order to be able to run a 100K, I need to fuel my body with good nutrients.

Aubergine

Aubergine has received plenty of praise in recent years. What is it like running a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star kitchen?

It has been great to have a small, dedicated team. We spend a lot of time together and our guests expect a thoughtful dining experience.

What inspired you to start Rediscovering Coastal Cuisine?

It was an idea to bring some of my old and new friends together. It was a way to bring talented chefs to our small, unique beautiful location and have a chance to experience the flavors they would bring to the table.Sarah Chanin

Carmels Star Chef On Food, Fitness And Figure Skating - Forbes

Amy Bueme brings loads of energy to her workouts.

The co-owner of Catalyst Fitness brings an even greater level of enthusiasm to her fitness centers, as the seventh location in the regional chain will soon attest.

She and her husband, Joe, next month will open their largest Catalyst yet, this one at 281 Meyer Road in Amherst, in a former Dicks Sporting Goods store along Maple Road near the Boulevard Mall.

A swath of turf will sit smack dab in the center.

My vision for this club was having a football field in the middle of it, Bueme said. Its because when I started putting turf into the clubs, people of every age loved being on it. They were lifting weights, pushing sleds, flipping tires. Theres just something about it. It makes you feel like an athlete, it makes you feel like youre having fun.

I have light shining down on the turf, and blue light shining up into the sky to give it a really cool effect, like the Bills stadium.

Bueme said she and her husband expect to open the new center late the second week of December. It will join clubs on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo; French Road and Wehrle Drive in Cheektowaga; Broadway in Depew; Eggert Road in the Town of Tonawanda; and Seneca Street in West Seneca.

The fitness center on Broadway is a smaller Catalyst Express club and the Buemes may transition their Eggert Road location in similar fashion when the new club opens less than 2 miles to the northeast. Several new members also have asked for a women-only section in the smaller club, Bueme said.

The new club also will feature a Fit Lab with heart-rate monitors, Fit benches, Airdyne bikes, and treadmills that climb 23 levels in elevation and go ridiculously fast, she said, as well as a Cardio Cinema that will allow users to watch inspiring shows on a theater screen while they work out.

We have a very small Cardio Cinema and Broadway, and it really took off, Bueme said.

Amenities also will include a Kids Club; cycling, yoga, free weight and personal training rooms; a 4,000-square-foot group fitness studio; and executive-style locker rooms with glass saunas.

There's a lot of different areas for people to do a lot of different movements depending upon what they feel like doing, or where they're comfortable, Bueme said.

The new location will set yet another milestone for the Bueme family, which got into the fitness business in 1979 and owned 2001 Health Odyssey and Gold Gym clubs in the region before closing them and launching the Catalyst brand seven years ago.

The couple, who married 23 years ago, have about 250 employees. They own several of their sites, including the newest one.

No excuses! Fit exercise into the holiday madness

The beautiful thing about my husband and I is that he loves the real estate end of it and I like the club planning, Amy Bueme said. I think we're doing very well as we grow.

The new location will have about 60 employees and 15 personal trainers. It also will feature Robbie Raugh and Ellen Coleman, two of the top group fitness instructors in the region.

Rates are as low as $9.99 a month to join a single club, $19.99 to visit all clubs and bring a friend and $29.99 with unlimited group classes. Catalyst waives its enrollment fee, allows people to join without a contract, and throws in a couple of other extras from Black Friday to Cyber Monday.

The #BeHealthy Movement for More Movement initiated by World Class in 2018 has been growing stronger with each new member, each new participant to the World Class public health and fitness event and each new club opening in strategic locations, with large residential and corporate communities.

The acquisition of Planet Swim&Gym is a strategic step that takes us further into our mission. It has a very good location and the members will benefit from the support of a strong team of health and fitness experts. The club offers indoor and outdoor pools with a great relaxation area, making it ideal for families and also for after work wellness. We are strengthening our network and give more to our members by adding all the health & fitness services of Planet Swim&Gym. The club did a very good work building a health & fitness community, being highly successful in its swimming offer for kids and attracting families to be active together. This club is an excellent match to our network and it will be our 38th health & fitness club. The new acquisition brings our services even closer to the homes and workplaces of more Romanians. In the near future we have new plans for extending our networks in strategic locations., says Kent Orrgren, CEO World Class.

Starting November 28, the club reopens as World Class Planet to offer members a premium facility with premium training conditions, innovative health & fitness equipment and a highly experienced team of health & fitness professionals. It will be a Gold Category club.

The former Planet Swim & Gym club had a history of 15 years and all its members will be automatically become World Class members with access to all World Class clubs throughout Romania, up to the Gold category.

Planet Swim & Gym is a club with a long history in Romania of over 15 years and a strong health & fitness community. I am glad that following this acquisition, the clubs existing members will have access to even more benefits, more health & fitness clubs and an extended network of health & fitness specialists. I am confident that what we have built so far with Planet Swim & Gym will continue to grow and the result will be even more happy members who will choose a healthy lifestyle, said Alexander Fagiolo, owner Planet Swim & Gym.

The three-level club will provide two aerobic studios for group fitness classes, indoor cycling, private studio for 1-to-1 training sessions, interior semi-olympic pool and also an exterior swimming pool and a summer garden with lounge area. Members will also benefit from the services of a beauty salon.

The location of the new World Class club is strategic, targeting an area with a high density of residential as well as corporate public. Located in Voluntari-Pipera, 1 Emil Racovi Street, Voluntari, the club is another step into the World Class mission to make health and fitness services more accessible to more Romanians in order to help them be more active more often and enjoy better lives.

The club is highly accessible and the members will be able to park their cars in the private parking place with 200 spaces. It will function Monday to Friday, 06.30-22.30 and Saturday, Sunday 08.00-20.00.

We know you're probably getting tired of seeing Black Friday 2019 deals all over the internet, but Fitbit has just launched its own sale and it's definitely worth a peek.

There's a lot of competition when it comes to fitness trackers, but Fitbit remains one of the best brands on the market for managing your steps, sleep, stress and fitness goals. And the products come in a stylish package that feels comfortable and durable.

If you've been holding out for a bargain over the last few months and have been eyeing up a fitness tracker, now is the best time to jump into action. Fitbit is offering up to 60 off on some of its best products, including the Versa, which doubles up as a pretty powerful smartwatch that we think rivals the latest devices from Apple or Samsung.

Each Fitbit product is a little bit different, whether it's the design and the overall look of the watch, or the fitness functions and the battery life, so we have laid out every deal on the official Fitbit page to help you decide which one to go for.

These prices are some of the lowest offers we have seen on the range, so if you're looking for an early Christmas bargain or you need that boost to get you through your Christmas training, check out the Fitbit Black Friday sale below.
