Fitness Together: Member Testamonial

Member @ FT-Issaquah,WA

It’s now 6 months since I first came in, and several things have changed in that time.

I have lost over 22lbs and three dress sizes, toned up and discovered muscles I didn’t even know I had (plus, the effects of having two 10lb babies on my stomach muscles are finally being reversed!).

My aerobic fitness has improved dramatically – at 34 I’d never really given much thought to my heart, but I am delighted to discover that I’ve saved it 9 beats a minute (that’s 12960 a day – wow!) which should stand me in good stead to see the kids grow up.

I’ve become a ‘competent exerciser’. Even though I used to make occasional attempts to go for a jog or do a few sit-ups, my exercise regime was sporadic and haphazard. Being given a plan that told me exactly what I needed to do in order to achieve my goal was empowering.

I stuck to it because I felt I was accountable to the trainers as well as to myself, and now I eat sensibly out of habit, exercise because I get a kick out if it, and am loving the results!

 

I love the sessions with the trainers, and the variety of exercises and difference in training styles has kept things interesting. I’m branching out on my own more now, and am determined to build upon the fantastic start I’ve made. I can’t see me running marathons anytime this century, but I made it to 40 minutes running on the treadmill last week for the first time ever. If I can achieve all that in 6 months then who knows……

Thank you all!
