Here are some simple training tactics that will completely transform your physique. 
 
Train to (or close to) failure on your working sets. 

Only use exercises that feel right on your joints. 

Track your weights and reps in a training log. 

Leave your fucking phone in the car. 

Warm up. 

Try to increase weight or reps each week. 

Treat strength training like a skill and master technique. 

Drop your ego. 

Rest in between sets. The idea is to get strong and build muscle. Not get sweaty and out of breath. 

Train specific movement patterns. Don’t force feed yourself any specific exercises. 

Most people show up to the gym and “pretend” to train. 
 
They have all the fancy gear. 
 
They post selfies to show the world they’re at the gym. 
 
But they’ll never reap the benefits of undistracted, hard fucking work. 
 
By all means, rock your new gear. Take photos and videos. 
 
But when you walk through the doors to go train, lock in. 
 
Focus. 
 
Leave all of your worries, doubts, fears, and insecurities at the door. We all got ‘em. 
 
But for those 60 minutes it’s your time to free yourself from all the chaos in the world and focus on the one thing you have control over...
 
Yourself. 
 
Hope this helps 💪
Sleep plays a MAJOR role in your health and fitness

Especially after 35 

Here’s 10 things you can do to enhance your sleep

Cut off caffeine by 5 pm 

Turn off of work for the day by 6 pm

Unwind with the family (walks, talks, play, chill)

Stop eating by 8 pm

Put phone on airplane mode by 9:30 pm

List out the most important tasks that you need to prioritize the next day

TV off by 10 pm

Hot shower

No electronics in the bedroom. We have blackout curtains and zero light. 

Set temp to 64 degrees (67 degrees is the warmest but I like it colder)

SAVE this post and remember that your sleep makes a bigger impact than you think 💪😴

‼️We’re hiring a leader at Tutela Training Systems‼️

Not just another coach.
Not someone to “run sessions.”

👉 A leader.

Someone who can:

Walk into a room and raise the standard
Hold people accountable
Take ownership of the environment
Actually care about the experience our members have

This is a part-time, non-coaching role (10–15 hrs/week)
focused on leading the floor and managing our team.

You’ll be responsible for:

Ensuring sessions run at a high level
Developing and holding coaches accountable
Maintaining energy, culture, and standards inside the gym
Helping create an elite training environment

This is not for everyone.

❌ If you just want to coach sessions
❌ If you avoid hard conversations
❌ If you need constant direction

This is NOT the role for you.

But if you’re someone who:

Takes ownership
Has presence and leadership ability
Wants to grow into a bigger role
👉 This could turn into a full-time leadership position

📍 Clark, NJ
⏱ 10–15 hours/week

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), DM us “LEADER”
