"For twenty years I had worked out on my own, doing aerobics and light weights. At times I was very enthusiastic about my workouts and at other times, did just enough to not feel terribly guilty. I read just about every diet book and fitness magazine I could find. But my weight and body fat kept increasing each year. Fast forward to 8 months ago (August 2008). My husband and I adopted two children in August of 2007, and suddenly my workouts became less important and there was always something else that needed to be done instead of exercising. I convinced myself that I really didn’t look much different, but my clothes and energy level told me otherwise. I realized something needed to be done. I needed to get control of my health and fitness level. I joined LIFT after hearing about the Total Body Transformation.
After meeting with Harold and Sam and describing what I wanted in a trainer, they introduced me to Tracey. I started training with Tracy in August 2008. She has been terrific. Without being a drill sergeant, she pushes me to levels I did not know I had in me. She has taught me to lift heavier weights without the "bulking up" I had always read about but did not desire. Tracy encourages me constantly concerning my progress and motivates me to continue to push forward. I have found my body changing in ways I never thought possible. I am 44 years old and basically thought that much of how my body looked was not going to change. I didn"t feel old but every so often I felt like I was too late in trying to change my body. I was wrong! In training with Tracy, she has allowed me to see my body change, as I never thought it would. I lost 20 pounds over the 14 week TBT, but more importantly, I lost inches from all over.
With the right fitness knowledge, Tracy has been able to transform my body to a shape I had only dreamed about. With her encouragement and expertise, she has guided me into new territory and each week I look forward to see how much more I can do. I have an increased energy level, eat healthy without feeling like I am on a diet and continue to see results even after having completed the 14-week TBT. Tracy has been a perfect match for me in pursuing my fitness goals. She has allowed me to be the 44 year old I had only dreamed of. Her positive reinforcement along with the healthy realistic attitude she projects makes it a joy to train with her. I could never have achieved these incredible results without having trained with Tracy!"
