Fast forward almost 5 months later……..Ashlee trained with us 4 times a week consistently, followed our simple but effective nutrition plan, and utilized a “secret weapon” that helped transform body and mind. I just received these photos the other day and I was blown away… Unbelievable!

I have always been overweight and for the longest time I believed I was destined to be fat. I had tried every diet and exercise program out there and nothing was working for me. It wasn’t until I trusted myself enough to know that I could do it that I began losing weight. I had to re-train my thinking and learn new eating habits, it took a lot of work and several nutrition classes but I finally got on the right track. I lost a significant amount of weight by eating healthier and exercising a little but it just wasn’t enough.

I knew I had to start exercising more frequently to really make a difference but exercising to me was worse than giving up some of my favorite treats. I knew I needed help so I looked into some training programs and that is when I found Lifestyles Fitness.

I went in for a free evaluation and spoke to Mark Hill the Owner about my options. He asked me some questions that really made me think, he really listened to my story, this was the first time I felt like I could be honest with someone about who I was and what my struggles were. After my meeting with Mark, I knew the program would work for me. I was still nervous about working out in front of someone who was focusing on me the whole time; I am so self conscious of my appearance while working out especially when I have to do anything that involves jumping up and down.

However, after a couple weeks of training with Mark and several other trainers I was having the time of my life. I couldn’t believe it; I loved working out with them. They made it so much fun and interactive that I almost forgot about the pain. To this day I still love going and I actually look forward to it. I know after every work out I will be tired and sore and will most likely whine and complain but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to go back. I am so happy I found Lifestyles Fitness; they have helped me lose almost 50 lbs in 5 months, gain confidence, and put a smile back on my face. I still have a lot of weight to lose but I have no doubt that with the help of Mark and his team I will reach my weight loss goals, so make sure to check back with me towards the end of the year to see how I am doing : )
