XSport Get Fit Challenge 2011 Participant"I am reaching the end of the program with a changed body and life. "
I was overweight, my quality of life and my health were being diversely affected every day. It was time to change!
I met Jarvis Mueller, the manager at my XSport location. He listened to my goals and helped me work through a tough schedule. He showed me profiles of members that had worked with my trainer. I began to feel hopeful that I could transform my body and my life. Jarvis introduced me to my personal trainer Mike Hoffman. As soon as I met the team at XSport, I knew this program was different.
I started with a weight loss goal of 80lbs. My main objectives were to lose fat and to feel better about my appearance. I had no idea 12 weeks ago the dramatic affects that this program would have on my body, health, and well-being. I worked out six days per week and met my trainer once per week. We started with light weights and high repetitions, mixed with circuit training. As the program progressed Mike was great at varying the exercise and keeping me interested. I watched the pounds fall off. I had tried workout programs and many diets in the past, and never had even close to the same results. Mike was very experienced and professional. He helped me set a menu and taught me portion control. He individualized my program, taking my physically laborious job and limited training time into consideration. As the weeks passed, so did my weight loss goal. I have lost over 121lbs. I couldn't have achieved this without the encouragement of my family, Mike, Jarvis, and the XSport team.
I feel the supplements made a huge difference in my success. I noticed a significant increase in my energy with the MultiX Vitamin. I felt it would help me to achieve better balanced health. I also supported my diet with XSport Protein. The supplements helped to support my goals by noticeably quicker recovery time between workouts, with less weakness and tiredness. They were also convenient as I fit them in to my workday.
I am reaching the end of the program with a changed body and life. I have to give credit to the team at XSport for adjusting the program to keep me challenged, while far surpassing the goals that I had established. I never believed that I could have lost over 121lbs in 12 weeks. I feel great and look great too. I am excited to share my story, and I am proud to refer others to XSport. I am eager to continue my training at XSport with my personal trainer. Without his expertise at tailoring my program to match my needs, I know I could not have been this successful in my weight loss journey. Thank you XSport and staff for the past 12 weeks, a priceless sense of personal accomplishment, and for the continued healthy lifestyle I now live.
