“People say I look 10 years younger.”

After a major knee injury and surgery in 2003, my weight slowly went up to 348 pounds. I went to the NASCAR race in Phoenix in April 2008 and could barely make the 1-mile walk from the parking lot to my seat. I had to stop to rest 4-5 times due to back spasms and the climb to the 25th row of seats almost made me sick. I decided then that I was going to lose 50 pounds.

After I joined, during the two free training sessions we received when we joined, my personal trainer began to teach me about having a balanced meal plan and how to cut calories but would allow me to lose fat and maintain lean mass and energy. I decided to continue with a personal trainer and began the program.

After 10 months, I’ve lost 100 Lbs and went from wearing 5X shirts and pants with a 50 inch waist to XL shirts and pants with a 40 inch waist.

I can hike, bike, do the yard, and even jog with no back or knee problems. I feel so much better now. Some of the people I work with tell me I look 10 years younger. I no longer take blood pressure medication and am healthier than I have been in many years.

I really want to thank the staff in, and especially my trainer for helping me reach my goals and teaching me what I need to know to keep and maintain a healthier weight and lifestyle.
