"Enablers are people that allow you to continue your losing ways; babying you and bailing you out. Fitness enablers allow you to continue making the same mistakes and never having the guts to tell you where you really stand – never having the balls to let you know that you are screwing up or that you just might need to sweat if you want to lose these few pounds.

In the fitness world, enablers are most apparent in the mainstream. These are companies that promise a physique change with a simple pill or 5 minute workout device. These are individuals selling a concept that assures “You won’t have to change a thing!” in order to lose 50 pounds. Most of us reading this recognize this. We all roll our eyes at the commercials and the magazine ads. We know it’s not about a pill or a plastic ab machine. And there is a sense of pride in this because WE are not getting duped."-Jim Wendler
