Archive for category Tightening the Belt(literally)

One day while driving down Scottsdale Road I got a phone call from a guy named Mike. Turns out he was driving behind me and saw the ad on my car. Ironically, he had just been thinking about hiring a personal trainer. We chatted on the phone for a few minutes as he told me how hiring a trainer was the only way he felt he could get in shape. He needed the motivation and accountability. He was honest enough with himself to admit that these were two things he lacked.

I suggested that we didn’t waste another second and that we take action immediately. So right then and there, he followed me to my studio where we had our very first meeting. I could tell he was fired up and ready for a change. He was sick of how he felt, and how he looked. Mike was finally ready to take the leap of faith needed to get in shape. I admired his “RIGHT NOW” mentality. He signed up and we started the next day. He committed to three days a week.

Just months later, Mike is now 25 pounds lighter and stronger than ever. He is more confident, has more energy, and he likes the way he looks. His belt loop is down 5 notches now and his pants are falling off him(good problem to have I guess). He is constantly “tightening the belt”!

I am so proud of his commitment and follow through. He rarely misses a session and does everything I tell him to do with all his effort. Mike owns his own business, which keeps him insanely busy, but he carves out the time to get his workouts in. He comes in with a smile on his face, a good attitude, and a desire to sweat.

Look at how his sweat has paid off !
