About This Workout Doesn't Suck

You have questions. THIS WORKOUT DOESN'T SUCK has answers.

Q: Where does TWDS meet?
A: Coffee shops, bookstores, gyms, local parks, member's homes, church basements... anywhere there's a need for an alternative to traditional fitness programs and/or weight loss support groups.

Q: But what if I can't find any meetings near me?
A: Contact us and we'll see what we can do. While we're busy working our mojo at this end, you can join our online community and take advantage of our web-based resources.

Q: What kind of workouts will we do?
A: TWDS is NOT a 'group exercise class' or 'bootcamp' in the traditional sense, but we will give you opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. One of our recent 'workouts' had a group of us playing in a co-ed dodgeball league (we struggled through the season, but did win the all-important post-season tournament. More importantly, we had fun all the way!) If there's a fitness-related program or product you'd like to try, just let us know and we'll figure out which strings we need to pull to make things happen.

Q: Why doesn't "This Workout" suck?
A: TWDS isn't about any single training technique. It's about doing anything remotely physical that you actually enjoy first. As far as we're concerned, this is the ONLY way to create a lasting fitness habit. Once exercise becomes habit, it's much easier to move in the appropriate direction to virtually guarantee you'll get the results YOU want.

Q: Why aren't there any weigh-ins?
A: The TWDS approach is based on consistent, goal-supportive ACTIONS. Do the right things often enough, fitness becomes a "side effect". Who really needs the pressure of meeting some arbitrary weekly weight goal, anyway? If your main concern is seeing the number on the scale go down, try getting a haircut or amputate your "spare" limbs. That usually does the trick.

Q: Is TWDS a cult?
A: Officially, no. But don't take our word for it; drink the koolade and tell us what you think.

Q: How much does it cost to join?
A: While there are some fee-based activities in which you may choose to participate, membership (including "accountability" meetings) will cost you the princely sum of ZERO dollars. Of course, if you have a business (or a rich uncle) that would like to become sponsors of a program such as "This Workout", we conveniently placed a "SPONSOR OUR MEETUP GROUP" link over on the left side of the page just for you.

Q: Who can join "This Workout"?
A: You. And everybody you're willing to talk to about TWDS.

Q: I have a product/service I'd like to introduce to TWDS members. How can I get in touch with you?
A: Send us an email. Please include your phone number and a good time to call.

Q: How can I get a TWDS chapter started in my organization/neighborhood/city/state/country?
A: Licensing opportunities are available. We'll give you all the support you'll need. Contact us for more information.

Q: Who is Joe Stankowski?
A: Fitness evangelist, training consultant/coach, high-energy presenter, caffeine-inspired blogger, fearless leader and creator of This Workout Doesn't Suck. And an all-around-good-guy, too.
