Where do I start- I’m sooo happy with every part of my training experience at One on One. When I started I was overweight, had no balance and no flexibility. I never thought I would consider my upper body as “normal” after all of the many surgeries I have had. However, with each session my confidence, balance, flexibility and strength continues to grow and has already far exceeded my expectations. I have never touched my toes even when I was in top swimming/dance/running shape…but now I can! It blows my mind what I am now able to accomplish in a training session. I have much better balance and flexibility, and feel stronger than ever.

Thank you for all you have done for me in my four months of training. I have truly never been in such a great place physically and emotionally; I know that this is because of the lifestyle you all have introduced to me. I may complain a lot, but I never regret a workout and always look forward to my next one because once you realize how great exercise makes you feel, you can’t understand how you went without it in the first place. I think that everyone exemplifies my Grandpa’s quote above. I get at least three or four “hello Kristin” every time I arrive, from trainers who don’t even train me!

A little more than twelve years ago, I was working eighty-plus hours a week, under constant stress and filled with anxiety. My physical condition – overweight and with both high blood pressure and high cholesterol – was the product of a lifestyle of too much work, and too little physical fitness. I was pushing 50-years old and the perfect candidate for something unpleasant to happen.

I have lost 46 pounds, many inches, four sizes in clothing, and lowered both my blood pressure and cholesterol. I am much stronger and both my physical appearance and mental attitude have improved dramatically. I accomplished much more than I ever expected in a short period of time. I feel wonderful! It was the summer of 2008 that I decided to take control of my life again. I had been through some very stressful, emotional events and I gained a lot of weight. My eating habits were horrible.
