It's Time to Transform your Body Before the Holiday Season Begins

It is now time to transform your body before the holiday season. We've been changing lives in Doral for over 17 years since 1998. Our fitness program is time tested and proven. I've been in the fitness industry for over 40 years before today’s fad workouts began and the word personal training existed. I started bodybuilding in the 70’s and began training people before the term personal trainer or any certification existed. I was also a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. leading 100’s of Marines and help them pass their annual physical test. In our fitness program you will learn the techniques & tactics that I use to stay in great shape at 58. 

  

Are you tired of starting every new years a fitness plan as part of your New Years Resolutions and failing? Why did you fail? Did you quit out of laziness, boredom, due to a program that did not give you results or were you injured? If you trained in a CrossFit box the odds are that you had to stop because of injuries. In a recent study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research they found that 73.5 percent of CrossFitters sustain injuries. 

 

Our goal at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense in Doral is to get you in the best shape of your life in the quickest and safest manner. We believe in results driven programs in a safe and healthy environment. Longevity is our main objective. We want you to be fit and train for life. Yet, by no means are we going to pamper you. To get results you must train hard. We will teach you proper technique, monitor your progress, train you around any injury you might have sustained in a previous fitness program. 

 

Now our fitness program is even better you can now do our MMA Functional Fitness Bootcamp, Pilates, Knockout and Pilates classes for the price of one class. You can train 5 days a week to get in the best shape of your life. This works great to confuse your muscles to grow and lose unwanted fat in your body. 

 

 Checkout some of our before and after success stories. We do not buy before and afters or use affiliate franchise organizations stock before and after photos. These are real people that trained at Anta's. Now if you really want to live fit and healthy and are willing to put in the work you still have time to be one of our success stories before the holidays. If you are serious do not wait until the new year to start your new fitness routine.

 

We take pride that all of our instructors are certified in numerous fitness modalities. We also believe in leading by example. Our instructors are fit and stay in shape all year long. training under an out of shape fitness or martial arts  instructor is like seeing a dentist with bad teeth. I don’t think that you would go see a dentist with bad teeth so why would you train with an out of shape fitness or martial arts instructor.

Anta’s Ageless Warrior Fitness Book Motivation for the New Year

The New Year is here and so is my new book “Anta’s Ageless Warrior Fitness.” I’m sure that most of our readers have made some fitness New Years Resolutions yet most have already given up on your fitness goals and dreams. My book will motivate you to start a program, stick to it and finally succeed. Now is the time to take back your health and youth. Learn my secrets to health and fitness. If I’m in the shape I’m in imagine what I can do for you. “Anta’s Ageless Warrior Fitness” is the ultimate guide to living fit, fearless and discovering your fountain of youth. 

 

I’m a 57 year old grandfather and have dedicated my life to martial arts and fitness. Yes, my son Julio and his wife had their first child on November 14, 2014. When I was younger I envisioned a grandfather as an old, slow moving, gentleman with very little muscle tone and flexibility. All the books that I saw on senior fitness had old looking skinny, muscleless men. Well, I refuse to fit into that stereotype. In the book you’ll see how I train today. I train 6 days a week. I do strength training, joint mobility, yoga and martial arts. You’ll read about how other Ageless Warriors friends of mine across the nation train.

 At 57 and having gone through numerous inures and maladies I have found the way to continue working out and getting in better shape as the years pass. The book is 186 pages on my over 40 years of experience in fitness.

 I wasn’t always a fit athlete. Read how I transform myself from a shy, small, sick, unpopular kid to a fit, strong athlete and how I continues to improve in my 50’s. You can and you will get fit, healthy and strong at any age following “Anta’s Ageless Warrior Fitness” routines and philosophy. 

 This book is not just for the senior athlete but for everyone that wants to get in shape, train around injuries and look great at the beach. I will even give you my mass building routines that took me from a 115 pound pencil neck geek at 18 to becoming a Marine and competitive bodybuilder. The same routine that transformed me from being the last one picked in PE to a fit, strong and healthy body. Discover my secrets of longevity, training around injuries, nutrition and supplements. 

You will also read about famous Ageless Warriors such as  Jack LaLanne, Helio Gracie, Jhon Rhee, Bobby Cruz, Sig Klien,and more. Every city and town has an ageless warrior. Read how local Ageless Warriors from different parts of the country stay fit through different methodologies such as functional training, bodybuilding, yoga, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, Pilates, kettlebells, battling ropes and more.

How to Find a Safe and Effective Fitness Program Anywhere in America

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure

How to Find a Safe and Effective Fitness Program Anywhere in America

Are you ready to get fit and fearless in 2015? Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense has a fitness program tailored just for you. I’ve been involved in martial arts and fitness for over 40 years. I’m 57 years old and in great shape, so imagine what I can do for you. 

 So, you don’t live the Miami, Doral area to train personally with me. There are a few things that you can do. You can buy my book “Anta’s Art of Fighting Without Fighting” which will explain how I train for longevity around my numerous injuries. It will also help you find and chose a certified, experience fitness instructor and program. Until your book arrives let me give you some advice on what to look for in a fitness program and I’ll personally recommend some top notch instructors and programs. 

 

Elena Anta 44 years old and Julio Anta 57 years old fitness vacation in Jamaica 

First lets look at what to look for in a fitness program. Number one is the instructor fit? I believe that you must lead by example. If the fitness instructor is not in great shape what makes you think that he or she can get you in shape. Obviously it hasn’t worked for him or her. Would you go see a dentist with bad teeth, then why would you go to a trainer that is not in shape. Check for his or her certifications and experience. Ask to see before and after photos of their clients. But, be careful that they don’t show you photos that they got from their affiliate association. Do you know that you can buy before and after photos on the internet and lets not forget photo shop. 

 The trend today is functional training. I have seen kettlebell horrors throughout the world in gyms, boxes, bootcamps and on videos. I’ve seen clues trainers putting their clients through dangerous kettlebell workouts. Before touching a kettlebell find a certified kettlebell instructor. I’m certified in Dragon Door’s HKC (Hard Style Kettlebell Certification), with Kettlebell Concepts, in Elite Combat Fitness Kettlebell, and Action Strength Kettlebell. I’ve also trained under Master kettlebell instructors Mike Mahler and Andrea DuCane.

 I’ve also seen people doing Battling Ropes totally incorrect. The good thing is that even if you do rope training incorrect you will not get injured. I’m certified directly on the man that develop Battling Ropes John Brookfield.

 

Here are the people and programs I recommend. For functional training I recommend John Riddle, Progressive Martial Arts in Boca Raton, Florida, Frank Dimeo, The Cave in Sarasota, Florida, Pablo Zamora Master Z Warrior Fit in McAllen, Texas,  Bud Jeffries in Lakeland, Florida, Harinder Singh Sabharwal, Action Strength in California, Gavin Garringer KB Warrior in Costa Mesa, California, KB Warrior in Brian Olsen Laguna Beach, California, Manny Reyes Jr., Martial arts Academy of Miami Lakes. Last but not least my wife Elena Anta and Hector Arcia of Anta’s fitness and Self Defense in Doral, Florida. I’m sure I’ve missed a few other great trainers.

 For Bodybuilding or training at a gym I recommend Lazaro and Frauke Diaz of Team Diaz in Miami, Sergio Pacheco Physic World Gym in Hialeah, Florida, Mari Rodondo, Bodies by Mari in Healeah, Teo Hernandez, Doral Park Country Gym in Doral and Atlas Tactical in Aventura, Florida. Stay away from Planet Fitness and any other gym that doesn’t allow you to wear tank tops and offer pizza and donuts to gym members. For those outside of South Florida look for a competitive bodybuilder or power lifter that is certified they know what they are doing. 

 I do not recommend most fitness chains and affiliate programs around today such as I Love Kickboxing and imitations of it. They are usually ran by fitness instructors and karate instructors without any real kickboxing experience. I also don’t recommend Orange Theory and all the new fads appearing today. I believe that longevity is of the utmost importance. Injuries will set you back in your training. The older we get the more we are prone to injuries. 

 I recommend instructors teaching the following program’s: Harinder Singh’s, Action Strength, Kevin Kearns,  MMA Fighter Fit, Moni Aizik’s Elite Combat Fitness, Master Tran’s, Tran’s Muay Thai Kickboxing Association. I’m certified in all of these programs. 

 You can purchase my book “Anta’s Ageless Warrior Fitness” at AntaMartialArts.com/store. If you would like to train like an ancient “Anta’s Shaolin Physical Conditioning” DVD also at AntaMartialArts.com/store.
