My Journey (Pam: images above)
Chris has been instrumental in helping me turn my life from a very obese, depressed, broken one to one I could never have imagined!
I was overweight all my life, trying just about evert diet and exercise regimen known to man, failing time after time to lose all the excess pounds. I would be successful for a time, only to end up putting any pounds lost, right back on again, along with more. Until I was over 500 pounds!
Discovering Chris was the best thing that could have happened at that point. I asked him if he would be willing to take me on as a client, knowing I had physical limitations in my knees and shoulders, due to arthritis caused by the extreme amount of weight my body had to carry for so many years. I wasn't certain there would be much I could do. Thankfully, he said "Yes"! He started me where I was physically and there are days I can hardly believe all that I'm able to do now. I have much improved balance and strength I never knew I had. There are challenges he has for me and some I'm able to do and others I attempt to do. The importance reminder he has for me on the challenges I'm not able to do yet is that it is not a failure. It just shows him what areas we need to keep working on. Things I wasn't able to do previously, I'm able to do now. and it inspires me continue going forward!
I'm happy to report that since starting to workout with Chris my knees and shoulders are stronger than they have been for years. I have had some physical and emotional setbacks along the way, but we just restated where I was and worked on getting me back to where I had been and then continue on. The weight regain has been reversed and I've now learned how to maintain. Now we are working on the final pounds so I can be as healthy and strong as possible.
As a personal trainer, Chris has the ability to work with all ages and fitness levels and each workout is always different for each individual. He is very in tune to the needs of his clients and strives to improve everyone's strength and fitness level.
This is the first time in my life where I've been able to stop a regain and remove the regained pounds, along with additional weight and continue the journey to being stronger and healthier. I truly feel the difference between past failures and the current success has been through Chris's wisdom and expertise in helping me see myself as a success and know that I AM WORTH IT!
