Success Story
I have had a membership to
the Racquet Club for the last five years. It was not until the
last year and half that I really started to use the membership.
In the late fall of 2008 I started going a couple of times a
week with a friend. We were not consistent and any excuse I
could use to get out of it I did. It was really easy to come up
with one as we would go after work. Usually I could use the
kids for and excuse and that worked every time. The funny thing
is when I actually worked out, I liked it and really liked how I
felt afterward. One night after my workout I was taking my
nightly medicines which consisted of two –type 2 Diabetes
medicines and one high blood pressure med. I just thought to
myself “this was absurd to be taking these medicines.” I had
the gym membership, I liked going, I needed to stop with the
excuses. So I decided I was going to become a morning person.
Can’t use the kids for excuses in the morning when they are
still a sleep. The next morning I was up and at the gym by
6am. That was the beginning. I started with just a half hour
three times a week for the first month, I then started making
the workouts longer adding 5 minutes every week.
 One morning I ran into a
friend and she told me that she just hired a personal trainer
and that I should give it a try, so that day I signed up with
Jesse. Over the next few months I would meet with Jesse at
least once a week and he would provide me strength training
routine that I would do at least two days a week on top of the
three days of cardio. I started see results right away and by
April I lost 25 lbs. Having the Trainer really worked for me as
it made it so much easier not to have to think about what I had
to to do in the weight room or if I was doing it right as I
never really worked out with weights before.
I
started trying new things in July/Aug. I signed up for “Ladies
of Steel.” I saw the poster but was always worried I would not
be able to keep up with the others, but I decided I was just
coming up with more excuses and signed up. I am glad I did as I
really enjoyed it and met some really good people. By Sept I
lost 50 lbs and was able to come off all my diabetes meds and
high blood pressure meds. I have also learned to try new
classes. You never know what you can do until you try it. I
have done six weeks of Boot Camp with Clem. I tried BodyPump,
spin class, and BodyCombat. Not all of them have been for me
but I liked that I have tried them and that I know I will try
other classes as well. It does not matter if I am good at them
only that I give it my best and I improve from where I started.
In the last twelve weeks I have taken the Transitions class with
that. I feel that I have now all the tools I need to continue a
healthy lifestyle for me and my kids. To date I have lost 75
lbs, 24 % body fat, and 6 dress sizes. Lot of thanks to the
Instructors and Trainers I have worked with Jesse, Irene, Clem,
Dan and Keith.
