Fitness is at the center of what we do.
To Tilla Fit, fitness isn’t optional.
It’s something that every person needs.
And this isn’t a plug for Tilla Fit, because we aren’t for everyone.
Regardless if you work out with us, or at any other gym in the area, we want you working out.
This is our effort to show the community why fitness is a priority.
Here is reason number 26 of 52 for why we need fitness, and what it means to us!
“Muscle Development”
A well designed fitness program has a large emphasis on muscle development. When most people hear muscle development, they picture bodybuilders with massive, sculpted physiques and hours spent in the gym. But that’s not what we’re talking about.
Building muscle is hard. Unless you’re training consistently, eating with purpose, sleeping like a champ, and staying locked in for years, you’re not going to wake up looking like a bodybuilder or pro athlete.
When we talk about muscle development, we’re talking about something far more important, strength that serves your life.
Muscle protects you. It stabilizes your joints, supports your posture, and keeps your body resilient. It’s what allows you to bend, lift, move, and recover without hesitation. Every pound of muscle you build is literally adding armor to your frame.
And here’s the reality: after age 30, we lose 3–8% of our muscle mass per decade, and that rate speeds up after 50. If you don’t make an effort to keep it, you lose it, and with it goes your strength, independence, and quality of life.
The process itself is simple but powerful: challenge your muscles with resistance, through lifting and bodyweight exercises and your muscle fibers experience tiny amounts of stress. When your body repairs them, they come back stronger. Repeat that cycle over time, and you build lasting strength.
That’s the science.
The ability to move freely, live independently, and keep doing the things you love for years to come is the reward for your hard earned muscle development.
