2007   205lbs

"I didn't believe that I could make changes that would completely alter my life, but I finally got my life back!"  

"As a high school teacher, I took on the role of caretaker of everyone except myself. There seemed to be no time in my schedule to include a fitness program. As a result I found that my arm and leg muscles became weak.  The simple tasks that I used to do so well, such as balancing myself when walking, walking up and down the stairs, and getting up from a chair easily became challenging and physically exhausting.  I often needed to lean on a chair or cane to keep my balance at the end of a long working day.

August 2008  180lbs & 40% Bodyfat

It took a caring friend to encourage me to learn about the programs available at Private Fitness.  The owners and trainers, Servando and Juli, along with their qualified staff created a safe, secure, and challenging place to take a risk.  I learned that each trainer was a college graduate who had specialized in the areas of kinesiology, body mechanics, and fitness.  Servando conducted a careful assessment and created a personalized program for me. Nutrition and methods to achieving a healthy life style were included in each session.  As I learned to trust Servando's recommendations and good judgment, I made a commitment to give it my best!

June 2010  137lbs & 21% BodyFat!!

Seventeen months have passed and I feel more energetic than I have in over ten years. As a result of my private training sessions and weekly cardio, my balance, endurance, and stamina have improved.  My most recent lab tests indicate normal lipid levels, which had previously been a concern for me.  I achieved additional weight loss of 35 pounds with my body fat percentage decreasing from 40% to 21%.  To my surprise, I went from a size 18 to a size 10 and sometimes an 8! : )

I want to thank Servando, Juli, and their staff for all their expertise and support.  I was also inspired by the clients of Private Fitness who encouraged me along the way to stay on track. To my husband, of over forty years, thank you for your encouragement on my journey to wellness. I consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to regain my health and energy, which I will never again take for granted."    ~ Ellen
