After 6 months of training, Karen wrote this:
"Hi. My name is Karen. I turned 40 years old January 2007. I was facing the fact that I was hitting that ominous age and I was extremely out of shape and overweight. I have a family history of diabetes, heart problems, and yes, obesity. So, my outlook on my personal health and condition was grim. My self-esteem and body image was at its lowest. Seeing that I was pained by the idea of being “fat and forty” my husband gave me the best birthday gift I have ever received, 6 months of workouts with Jeff Robinson, my new personal trainer. At first, the thought of a stranger coming to my home and making me lift weights scared me. But, once I met Jeff and he talked me through my personal program I was completely at ease.
Jeff presented me a book called Inches Away which is my guide to making my fitness training program work for me. We started slowly with 5, 8, 10 and 12 pound dumbbells, a Swedish workout ball and a mat. When I started, those 12 pound weights might as well have been 50 pounds each. But, each week I got stronger and stronger and I have worked myself up to using weights ranging from 20-35 pounds. I have also increased my cardio workout from a light stroll around the block, to High Intensity Interval training on my treadmill and consecutively walking 4 miles a day at a pace of 4mph everyday.
But, the true testimony to my time spent with Jeff is the numbers and my overall health. My blood pressure has dropped, my cholesterol numbers are better, I have lost nearly 30 pounds and am still losing, and I have gone down an overall 38.25 inches in body measurements. My 6 months with Jeff have completely changed my attitude towards my health and body image. I am now making a conscious daily effort to make the right healthy choices for me and continuing my weight training efforts! Thank you, Jeff. You truly made a difference in my health and well-being and I have definitely gotten RESULTZ!!!"
After 2½ months of training, my client, Bev, wrote this letter to me.
“As I approached my 51st birthday less than three months ago, I felt fat, flabby, and frumpy. Since the only person in control of that situation was ME, I decided to enlist your services as a personal trainer. Before we started I took my measurements and weighed myself. For three sessions per week we did weight training and ab work. I also made a point to do some sort of cardio at least 5 times per week. I also started keeping a food diary to keep track of what and how much food I ate.
I worked very hard, but I became extremely discouraged when the scale did not move. One night, after listening for the 100th time to me lamenting about my weight, my husband did the UNTHINKABLE—he threw away my scale! My self-defeating behavior had to stop. I began to focus on how much better I felt, how much stronger I was becoming and how much better my clothes were fitting – instead of focusing on my weight.
WELL…THIS MORNING I TOOK MY MEASUREMENTS—WOW!!! I have lost ONE inch off each thigh, TWO inches off my waist, ONE AND HALF inches off my hips, and TWO AND HALF inches off my lower abdomen. That’s a total of EIGHT INCHES in less than three months!
I highly recommend personal training as an avenue to better health. Believe me, I have tried it all: ATKINS, SOUTH BEACH, WEIGHT WATCHERS, TRIM SPA, DEXATRIM, ETC, ETC. Personal training is the only thing that will have PERMANENT RESULTS for my life.
Thanks again for helping me to get healthy. I am actually addicted to exercise now and look forward to my sessions three times per week.”
