Eating the frog is about embracing the things you dread. Facing life’s hurdles head-on instead of worrying, and wishing things were easier. If you have to eat a frog, procrastinating will only ruin your day.<\/p>\n
So what’s your frog: An uncomfortable phone call? Cleaning the kitchen?<\/p>\n
You might be surprised to hear that Olympic Gold Medallist Bryan Clay’s frog is fitness.<\/p>\n
“Fitness is hard! You’re on your back, you’re throwing up, you have to force yourself to go out, it can be lonely,” he says, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. So for 20 years Clay “ate the frog,” and it took him to the pinnacle of athletics.<\/p>\n
#TakeTheLeap<\/strong><\/p>\n Now Clay is taking that seize-the-day attitude to a new chain of gyms called — you guessed it — Eat the Frog <\/a>Fitness<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We liked the quirky name,” he says, “Because fitness is hard, but we have fun too!”<\/p>\n Wes Yee, Manager of the Covington location opening soon, loves the community-building that comes with a unique name.<\/p>\n “We call ourselves the Frog Squad. When you join Eat the Frog<\/a> you get to be a part of something, and that creates accountability. We have a lot of fun.”<\/p>\n Yee’s “frog” was aging, as he stared down his 50th birthday. “I realized I could either dread it or embrace it,” he says, so he started doing small group fitness training and pretty soon he began to feel better. “I had borderline high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic, but I’m much healthier now.”<\/p>\n
