Q: Why do I need a program customized just for me?
A: To save time, many health and fitness programs base their workouts and recommendations on a general, one-size-fits-all approach. At GHF, we know this just doesn't work. Each of us needs a program that recognizes our needs and goals, one that is specifically developed for the equipment and time we have available.
Q: Why do GHF members have such a great success rate?
A: All GHF members start with a completely customized interactive program that recognizes their current level of fitness and moves them steadily - and realistically - towards their desired results. The GHF program is designed for your lifestyle, time constraints, physical limitations, equipment availability, special requests, and the goals you set for yourself and your body.
Q: Is the GHF program personal ?
A: Yes, we take the time to learn everything we need to know about you (fitness level, body-type, goals, personal preferences, time and equipment availability, special limitations, etc.) so our experts can personally develop an effective program that's right for you. Then we continue to guide you towards reaching your long-term goals. Any time you have questions or if you just need motivation, our experts are there to assist you!
What's more, GHF members receive ongoing personalized support and motivation from all 34 of our fitness, medical, and nutrition experts. That means unlimited consulting from dieticians, professional bodybuilders and athletes, best-selling authors and world record-holders, sports medicine and physical therapy experts, and other qualified professionals who are ready and willing to personally help you look, feel, and perform at your very best. Questions are answered within 24 hours, 365 days a year - guaranteed!
Q: What results can I expect on your program ?
A: Because each of us responds to exercise and good nutrition in different ways, and because we have different time available to work out, individual results are hard to predict. But so many GHF members find our programs so effective, our many tools and resources so helpful, and our personal guidance and support so important, that they're happy to recommend us to others. Click here to read their Success Stories and get their e-mail addresses.
Q: What are some ways you'll keep me motivated?
A: Here are just some of the ways:
a. Free fitness tracking software. Protrack sells in stores for $32.95 but is yours absolutely free as a GHF member.
b. Success coaching
c. Motivation Fitness Experts
d. Monday Motivational e-mails
e. Live chats and tele-seminars with GHF experts
f. The GHF Fitness Challenge, a 12-week fitness contest where we'll help you achieve your dream body and give you a chance to win a 7-night dream vacation for you and friends!
g. The GHF Get Motivated for Life Success System, created by our very own success coach and motivational expert, Dr. Frank Smoot.
Q: Why is GHF so unique; how does it differ from other programs?
A: Three primary reasons:
- Your GHF exercise and nutrition program will be personalized specifically for YOU. A great exercise program must take into account your likes and dislikes, body type, goals, and time and equipment availability.
- Your GHF program will maximize the time and energy you put into it. Our fitness experts, some of the best in the field, stay on top of the latest research to make sure your program includes only proven techniques that produce excellent results.
- Most importantly, your GHF program will be enjoyable. If you're not having fun, it is not likely that you'll stick with your program. We'll help you regularly renovate your workout to keep your routine fresh and exciting.
Q: How do we know it can work for you?
A: Three primary reasons:
- Because the GHF program has helped thousands of men and women of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds to look, feel, and perform at their very best.
- Because each month and each year, our membership grows as friends tell friends.
- Because our members renew year after year to achieve even greater success.
But don't take our word for it. Click here to read GHF Success Stories from members all around the world! You'll find more than 1,000 very impressive testimonials, many with Before and After photos and all with e-mail addresses so you can chat with them about their success with GHF. These members can tell what GHF has done for them and what it can do for you.
Q: Why is fitness training on the Internet a good deal for me?
A: Two great reasons:
- Because of the low cost of the Internet, we are able to offer you substantially more than other exercise and nutrition programs, books and videos, software, or instructors can - and all at a very reasonable price.
- Because time and distance aren't an issue, you have full access to GHF's wide range of experts who are available to answer your questions about fitness, fitness health, and nutrition.
Q: Why shouldn't I just hire a personal trainer? Wouldn't that be more personal?
A: You could and there's nothing wrong with face-to-face interaction. But most people can't afford to have a trainer at their beck and call to offer the guidance and support they need whenever they need it. GHF's experts are ready to give you advice most any time with a simple e-mail.
And most trainers specialize in general fitness only, whereas GHF has 34 highly qualified experts in every specific fitness-related specialty on staff. In addition to helping you with your workouts and eating habits, our experts can help you with injury and rehabilitation training for a specific sporting event or competition, answer your medical questions, etc. And our program is just a very small fraction of the cost of a live personal trainer.
Q: Can't I just get what I need from fitness books and videos?
A: For any fitness program to be a success, it needs to be enjoyable. Period! Our program cuts through the confusion and teaches you exactly how to achieve the results you want. By eliminating the guesswork, we help you avoid the common mistakes that can waste your time and effort. Our mission is to get you seeing great results as soon as possible. You'll soon discover that you can truly enjoy healthy eating and physical activity for the rest of your life!
With GHF, you can finally learn how to prevent boredom and overcome frustrating plateaus. We continually offer new ways of making healthy eating and physical activity fun and exciting. And our program is frequently updated, thus offering you all the latest reliable research and discoveries in the fitness industry.
Q: Why is it important to implement both a cardiovascular and weightlifting routine?
A: The success of your fitness program, and your health in general, depends not only on healthy eating habits and cardiovascular exercise, for example, but also on a safe, effective strength training (weightlifting) program. Implementing only one or two forms of exercise will not allow you to reach your full potential with optimal health and the results your body deserves.
By making cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and strength training all parts of your workout, you'll train your body to become an efficient "fat-burner" rather than a "fat-storer" while decreasing your risk of injury and greatly improving your athletic and fitness performance.
Q: What else does the GHF program offer?
A: GHF will teach you to implement all five components of fitness: Weight Management, Nutrition, Cardiovascular Exercise, Strength Training, and Flexibility Training. The GHF program integrates these vital components into safe and effective health and fitness programs for all levels of experience and time-commitment. This will allow you to reach your full potential and help ensure that you achieve the results you deserve.

A: At Global Health and Fitness, we believe that correct information about healthy eating and physical fitness should be available to everyone.

A: Yes, with our 30-day money-back guarantee, you've got nothing to lose!

Q: Can Global Health and Fitness help me find a health club or personal trainer in my area?
A: Global Health and Fitness provides a free national directory to the best health clubs and personal trainers in the US, organized by state, city, and zip code. Here we also discuss how to choose a health club or personal trainer that will best suit your needs.
Q: Eventually I'd like to implement a full-body strength-training and stretching program, but for right now, I'd just like to know a few good exercises for my lower back and abdominals. Can you help me?
A: Of course. Simply click on the muscle group you wish to strengthen or stretch on our Exercise Instructions page and you'll find a list of the very best strength-training and stretching exercise along with complete how-to instructions, including what not to do, safety precautions, alternative exercises, and video demonstrations.
Q: I've been reading about the importance of both antioxidants and fiber in my diet and know that broccoli is a good source of both. How can I find good ways to fix it without reading a lot of cookbooks?
A: Our program includes a search index so that you can easily find all the delicious and healthy Global Health and Fitness recipes using a particular food or ingredient along with the corresponding nutrition information. And remember, we have three dietitians on our experts panel that are 100% committed to your success and always here to personally help you, as are the rest of our experts.
Q: I understand the benefits of healthy eating and exercise, but I'm very busy and I travel a lot. How can I implement the Global Health and Fitness program on my schedule?
A: You'll find that the Global Health and Fitness Home/Travel exercise program and dining-out section are just what you're looking for. The nutritional information and advice on making a restaurant menu fit your needs will keep you eating right. And the exercise program will give you a safe and effective full-body strengthening and stretching workout to do in the comfort of your hotel room or your own home, in fact, anywhere!
Q: I want to lose 30 pounds in time for my class reunion. Will I be able to do that with Global Health and Fitness?
A: The integrated program of Global Health and Fitness is not another 30-day fad diet. That kind of lose-weight-quick scheme is unsafe and ineffective in the long term. If you're looking for another short-term diet prison sentence, then Global Health and Fitness is not for you.
When seeking an effective health and fitness program, ask yourself if the recommendations are ones you can live with for the rest of your life. If you can't fit the exercise program into your life, how long will you stick with it? If you can't ever eat the foods you love, how long will you persevere with the plan?
Global Health and Fitness will show you how to make small, gradual changes in your eating and activity habits that will have a positive impact on your life. Our program teaches healthier attitudes towards eating and exercising and happier ways of living that will improve your level of fitness, your energy and performance, and your self-esteem as well as decrease your risk of injury and disease. And by following these suggestions, over time your body will reach its optimum weight. Although we don't guarantee unrealistic results, we can promise you this: if you put your faith in us and take action, you will succeed in being healthier and more fit.
Q: The exercise instructions, video demonstrations, and 12-week programs look great, but how will I remember what to do when I get to my health club?
A: We've made it very simple. Just print out the beginning and mid-point images of each video demonstration along with the exercise instructions; they'll show you exactly how to do the exercise, the common mistakes to avoid, and the precautions to take in order to insure your safety. In addition, each of the 12-week strength-training programs lists the name of the exercise, the recommended number of sets and repetitions for your goals, and the order in which to perform the exercises for each muscle group in order to get maximum effect. You can also print out these lists and take them with you to your club.
Q: I have a hard time sticking with any exercise or eating program. Can you help me make permanent changes towards a healthier lifestyle?
A: People give up on their exercise or healthy eating programs because they haven't achieved the results they're seeking fast enough or because they become bored. These people perceive healthy living as a chore instead of something to enjoy and look forward to.
With Global Health and Fitness, you'll learn much more than just how to get fit or eat better. You'll learn how to make exercise and healthy eating really fun. You'll learn ways of varying your routines to prevent boredom and achieve new results again and again. And you'll discover how to break out of the diet prison so that food is a truly pleasurable part of your life, in part by learning how to convert your favorite recipes so that you can eat healthy versions of the foods you love. We know that impossible regimens don't last. That's why the Global Health and Fitness program is different: it's realistic and it's fun!
And for a limited time, we're offering the GHF Get Motivated for Life Success System, our new motivational program, absolutely FREE of charge with membership. This normally sells for $39.99 and Dr. Smoot will personally have you motivated and focussed like never before!
Q: How can I become a member and what does it cost?
