What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?

I have been a fitness “enthusiast” for most of my life—but menopause ushered in a whole new game that I didn’t like playing ---mainly weight gain around the middle.  All of my old tricks to trim up were not working.  I have always loved weightlifting but wanted some additional help in hopes of making a difference and moving my measurements in the right direction.

What results have you achieved since starting your program?

My measurements are moving in the right direction!!—that is-- I’m losing fat AND more importantly gaining muscle on my journey to a more sculpted body composition.

What do you like best about your program/having a trainer?

I like Ryan’s organized workouts that push me to new possibilities—he has a very positive, motivating way of getting you through challenging workouts that make a huge difference for weight loss and toning!

What would you say to someone on the fence about starting a program?

I’ve done “on-line” programs and always had my own home routines----but these things don’t even come close to what you get with a personal trainer of Ryan’s caliber.  He has taken the time and expense to obtain top-notch credentials in the field and it makes a huge difference.  Think of this as an investment in your health and happiness—Ryan knows how to assess and execute a program that is custom made for you---and that is priceless!

What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?

I was at my heaviest weight after moving away from my gym and not signing up for another membership at a new gym. I got really lazy and eating was my hobby. After seeing the results Ryan had gotten with his clients I decided to try the Christmas Challenge and see where that took me. I saw phenomenal results and continued on with my training program.

What results have you achieved since starting your program?

I have lost 30 pounds since starting the program on 11/20/17. I have gained muscle and look forward to my training sessions with Ryan.

What do you like best about your program/having a trainer?  I’ve had a personal trainer before at my local gym. Machine after machine he would just go through his cookie cutter routine he did with everyone and not really putting forth much effort. I was never sore or even broke a sweat from many workouts there. He did not hold me accountable for anything and therefore saw no results. It is like night and day difference since I started with Ryan. He checks in with you daily on your eating and your body soreness. He pushes you during your workout and doesn’t let you get lazy on your form.

What would you say to someone on the fence about starting a program?

If you haven’t seen much progress with anything you’ve tried, I highly recommend seeing Ryan. He will get you results you never thought possible!

What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program? I decided to make a change in July of 2017 after I had gone on vacation with friends and could barely walk up a flight of stairs without pain and shortness of breath. I originally asked my son if he’d help me get in shape, and he told me to call Ryan. I did, and have never looked back. I began with WPF on July 24, 2017.

What results have you achieved since starting your program? The weight loss of 60 pounds is really only the tip of the iceberg. I have found confidence that I never knew I had.  I am not afraid of my closet anymore – clothes are now my friend, not the enemy. As a compulsive overeater, I am gaining control over my eating, and understand why I used to eat the way I did. My body has been completely transformed, and I no longer suffer with debilitating knee pain, and I have no more shortness of breath. I am strong… inside and out!

What do you like best about your program/having a trainer? Having a trainer puts a person into your life who makes you accountable. Ryan goes above and beyond by constantly staying in touch with regard to the exercise and eating. He takes an interest in each of his clients and really gets to know them so he can help them to the best of his ability.

What would you say to someone on the fence about starting a program? Do it!!! And do not let the money be what stops you. We ALL spend money on many different things in our lives. Personal training is an investment in yourself, that pays dividends which last a lifetime! I can honestly say that I have never spent money on myself that has mattered more than this has.
