This post spotlights one of the hardest working clients that I have ever had the chance to work with.

Read his story below:

I have always been overweight and one of the bigger kids in my class, but I always played sports and stayed active.  In my late 20’s after my son was born my weight started creeping up fast.  I still played flag football, floor hockey, and softball. I started noticing that I was getting slower. When I got home my legs would hurt and I always felt tired.  One day I stepped on the scale and BAM !!!!  When I saw 298 lbs it felt like somebody just blasted me in the face….  That moment I said to myself “This is it.”, so I started eating healthier and I started running.  This was in October of last year, 2 months into it I was back to eating crap but still ran about 3 miles every other day.  I just couldn’t shed the weight.  This was when I heard about All Out Fitness from my roommate who had been going there for the private sessions.  He told me about the weight loss challenge; 2 month program, work out 3 times a week and who ever lost the most weight won a free month of workout.   After a week of talking about it I told myself I had nothing to lose.  Spring was coming, sports were starting back up, maybe we could win the challenge and I could lose some weight, why not !!!

It was very hard from the beginning trying to eat healthy and work out every other day, but we made it fun.  It was 4 of us in the group, we called ourselves The Expendables and we just kept pushing each other.  

Well, I have been going to All Out Fitness for the past 9 months, 3 times a week and I’m 80 lbs down… We didn’t win the first challenge but the first step through that door changed my life forever.  However in spring time we rejoined again, and won the 2^nd challenge.  Working out and keeping track of what we ate taught me that there is a lot of useless garbage out there… I don’t look at food the same, I translate everything to energy.  I haven’t reached my goal yet but I wish I did this a long time ago. I am in the best shape of my life, I feel great and I’m always full of energy.  When I get home from work I look forward to my workouts or sports we might play that day. 

Everyone should give Neil a try, he works with his clients and his program definitely works…

A Resistance Stretch Testimonial

Anyone that comes through my doors is well aware of the care and effort that I practice amongst my clients. The word "comprehensive" here is at one of the highest levels available in the industry today. I pride myself on having the knowledge and skill to truly fix people with postural distortions and joint problems. It is and should be the basis for all movement and training. This is why I have been mentoring and practicing body work, stretch, and corrective exercise for over 6 years. During this past 8 months I have had over 200 hours mentoring and practice with resistance stretching from Level 5 Master KiHara Trainer Carla McEwan of Flexible Anatony

. Here is a great testimonial to its credit.

Finishing what you start

It never occurred to me that I couldnt run 26.2 miles. I knew that somehow I would finish. This was the most important thing that I needed to believe. Your mindset will predict your success or your failure. The rest is contextual. Sure I may hit a wall or even develop pain in my legs but that is only something that can break me if it let it. The courage to give your best when your best is needed will always carry you over the fire. We create roadblocks because we doubt our talent or we fear the unknown. Envision your triumph and own it, then let your body do the rest. Never hesitate, always move with tenacity, and never ever give up.
