More Benefits You Can’t Live Without
We hope You Agree With Our Assessment!

1. An exercise program scientifically designed to produce maximum possible results in the minimum amount of time. In the beginning we were willing to spend any amount of time to produce maximum results…but we soon discovered that to produce these results, the exercise had to be brief in the extreme..In effect long workouts were found to be worse than worthless…they were counterproductive…and always reduced results…so if you know any misguided souls who exercise for much more than a half hour at a time and more than 2 or at most 3 times per week…do them a gigantic favor and tell them to stop wasting their time, money and bodily resources!!!
2. An exercise program that is the safest on the planet…which seems counter intuitive at first because it is so intense. But let me assure you that even the most intense final gut wrenching exertions that you perform in our workouts are far safer than the fast movements that thousands of trainees perform in exercise classes…throwing dumbells around…doing cardio pump with light to medium weights…without getting bogged down in Physics 101 please take my word that our incredibly intense slow movements with heavy weights are far safer than the aforementioned activities.
3. An exercise program that addresses cardiovascular exercise properly. Even trainees with active disease will be safer performing our slow exercise than steady state treadmill, bike, elliptical training. Blood pressure response and heart rate are much more moderate and controlled in a properly performed SuperSlow type workout…and the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations that accompany our workouts are lifesaving. Every winter snow shovelers who are avid walkers and runners suffer heart attacks while relocating the white stuff…people of all ages who practice proper strength training never have the same fate.
4. You won’t find any one qualified, competent, much less certified to teach you this exercise at ANY other New Jersey Facility except JWBF. Ask a trainer at any other gym who Ken Hutchins or Arthur Jones is. Ask them why they think you should perform multiple sets…if split routines are ok…the difference between inroading and intensity and if the isolation or compound movement is performed first when employing pre exhaustion…all you’ll get is a deer in the headlights…and that is really really sad.
Well there are 4 benefits…things we at JWBF can offer you that you won’t find anywhere else in NJ. I always say NJ and I could say most of the country except that my dear friends Roger Schwab in Bryn Mawr, Pa and Jim Flannagan In Orlando Florida and Dr. Doug McGuff in Seneca, SC and Fred Hahn in NY, NY offer almost exactly similar benefits….and there are a few others spread across the country…but they are few and far between…and in my obviously biased opinion, JWBF is still at the top of the list!!

Insanity… Basic Training… Science
Ask any marine, navy seal or ranger what was the toughest most hated part of their training and they will respond basic training…the first 10 to 20 weeks where they went through incredible physical hardship as a group to get ready for the horrors of war. This physical training was done as a group to build a team mentality…but mostly because it was the only practical way to handle large numbers of soldiers in need of training at one time. Better physical results with less injuries would have been produced with one on one training…that is one instructer to one trainee….but it was just not practical. And yet group exercise is all the rage today in many health clubs. Women and men gather together to perform these group exercise classes that are 100% compromise…they can’t be right for everybody…in fact they are perfect for nobody. To me as a trainer in the fitness industry for the last 40 years I have seen few trends that are more troubling and not based in science. The over 40 population is particularly at risk in these classes. High Intensity Low Force principles are never followed, pulse rates probably vary from 60% to 105% of predicted maxes, egos are at the root of form discrepancies so that a lagging trainee can appear to be keeping up, and injuries or worse can occur at any time…the benefit risk ratio of doing one of these classes is just horrible…and we have already seen the casualties and “wounded” from this poorly conceived endeavor for the over 40 man or woman. People always ask me why these classes are so popular…I call it insanity…I can’t explain it…If insanity could be explained, it wouldn’t be called insanity!!

So, how should people train for strength, health, fitness, and to look their best. I learned the answer to this from 1970 to 1972…from Arthur Jones the inventor of the Nautilus machines and the Nautilus Philosophy. Arthur said exercise should be intense, brief, infrequent, and slow. Most programs today are the opposite…not intense, long, frequent, and very fast. It’s laughable what passes for exercise today. These classes and even most personal training involve throwing light weights quickly…doing it for rather lengthy periods and doing it very often.

Everybody seems to have missed the cause/effect relationship of exercise and results. Exercise is the stimulus…the stronger, fitter, better looking body is the result. The body produces the result if it can…but it can’t be forced to do so and it requires recovery time to produce the desired changes. No amount of low intensity exercise will stimulate positive change…but these highly repetetive classes performed several times per week do a number of very bad things…excessive joint wear and tear, depletion of bodily resources, and immune function impairment….there is no upside except an exercise high caused by this addiction to exercise. A trainee must question…am I intelligently committed to progress or mindlessly addicted to exercise.
Here’s my prescription for a safe, sane, scientific approach to exercise.
1)Perform 2 thirty minute strength training workouts per week…high intensity/low force circuit strength training…8 to 10 exercise performed with no rest between them carried to momentary failure
2)Perform 2 thirty minute cardio workouts per week as long as your strength is increasing and you’re not constantly tired…
That’s it…remember more is not better…perform the least amount necessary to stimulate maximum change…you will be rewarded with strength, fitness and health that you never dreamed of.

Result-Producing Training Approach

We understand that proper exercise is a stimulus which acts on your body to demand an adaptive change. There are three fundamental variables involved in this relationship which we use at JWBF to produce the best results for our clients.
I. High Intensity- To stimulate your body to make an adaptive change your exercise intensity must cross a certain threshold before your body will respond. By training to muscular failure, we send an alarm to your body that more muscle and improved metabolic ability are needed. Also, we use a training protocol called “SuperSlow” which involves lifting and lowering the weights over a 10 second time frame. This eliminates acceleration and momentum which keeps the muscle under continuous load and more effectively fatigues the muscle.
II. Brief Workouts- All of our workouts last 30 minutes or less. We desire the minimum amount of exercise that will produce the stimulus for adaptation. Anything beyond this amount of exercise only acts to consume precious recovery resources.
III. Infrequent Workouts- Reaching the required stimulus intensity threshold consumes a large amount of your body’s resources and the subsequent adaptive changes are metabolically expensive. Replenishing resources and making metabolic investments takes time. Reintroducing the stimulus (a workout) too soon will interrupt these processes.
IV. Precise Record-Keeping- Keeping precise records of your workout performance allows us to know if we are manipulating the variables of intensity, duration, and frequency appropriately. By doing this our clients can show progress on every exercise of every workout.
Ideal Training Environment

I. Privacy- during your workout it will seem like it is only you and your instructor in the training area.
II. No Distractions- no mirrors, no music, no meatheads, no children, no loud colors, no plants, foliage or decorations.
III. The Best Equipment- We use Med-X, Lamb, Real Nautilus and Motivator Systems equipment. All of our Equipment is specially modified for using JWBF high intensity slow training protocol.
IV. Environmental Control- The temperature is kept at a stable 61 degrees F. Research has shown that this is the optimal temperature for performing high intensity exercise.
A “No Compromise” Facility
Your time is valuable and we will never waste it by having you do any form of exercise that is inefficient or non-productive.
We ambivalently offer aerobics equipment. It would be easiest if we simply “gave clients what they wanted”, but aerobics is not usually done at JWBF because it is an activity that consumes precious recovery resources for no productive purpose. Instead, we spend large amounts of time educating our clients about the actual requirements of proper exercise.
We train our clients very infrequently. During the first few weeks our clients train 2 to 3 days a week. Within 2-3 weeks all of our clients go to twice a week training. This is not just something we can “get away with”, it is an actual requirement for the production of the best results. Make no mistake, we could make more money if we trained clients 3 or 4 times per week but the results would suffer. At JWBF we want the client to be paying for results, not time spent in the gym.
Ultimate Exercise is under the direct control of those who will provide your training. We do not have to answer to investors or shareholders. Our only concern is the production of rapid, uninterrupted results for our clients.
