"It's so amazing that it hasn't been fully 3 weeks and I'm wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes. I'm down 13 pounds, and wearing clothes that I was just about to give away because I never thought I'd be able to fit them again. I wish I would have measured myself so I'd know how many inches I'm down. So glad i found Barre Fitness that one late night while on Facebook! I'm determined to lose 12 more pounds by April 19...."- Shari H.
"Thanks so much Sam! I really did enjoy the program! I will keep you posted on this summer (it will most likely be limited) but I am definitely down for doing another 6 weeks in the fall (September/October) since I already know I'll probably go into Sam workout withdrawals. I'll do my best to stay at 165-170 and when I come back I'm getting down to 150-155!!!!" - Jen B.
“Testimonial Jenn Brink:
THANK YOU Fit Programs Detroit- FPD!!!
I feel like I need to share this, and although it is uncomfortable to share personal posts like this, I feel it’s necessary and if it just reaches and maybe even affects one person than it’s worth it!
I made a decision almost 2 years ago to get my health back “in check”. I didn’t purposefully “let myself go”, but it happened. I was an athlete my entire life, and never really thought I would have to be intentional about my health (eating right, working out, drinking ounces on ounces of water).
3 years ago I hit my heaviest weight sitting right on the verge of 200 pounds. For about a year at that weight I made excuse after excuse about why I didn’t need to make myself or my health a priority, why the time wasn’t right because life was TOO busy, why I didn’t need help because I could just go to Planet Fitness on my own and workout by myself, why I didn’t have the money to put towards a personal trainer, etc.
I honestly don’t know what the turning point was. It could have been self-realization that the busyness of life wasn’t going to “ease up” and that there really was NEVER going to be a GOOD time to start. It could have been realizing that I had said to myself, “I’m going to lose weight” over a hundred times during that year, but never actually lost any weight. It may have even just been thinking about turning 30 and refusing to be “overweight” moving into my 30’s. Honestly, I DO NOT KNOW, but thankfully it dawned on me that I NEEDED to make a CHANGE!
So that is what I did. I made the decision to make MYSELF a priority. To commit to something that would create positive change in my health leading to a better future. I didn’t do this on my own though. I knew I would need help in doing this and that is where FPD comes in! Tweak has completely changed my entire life!
2 years ago I started working out with Sam. I lost about 22 pounds in my first 6 week challenge, but I knew when I made the commitment to myself, I needed to keep pushing towards my personal goals and lifelong health. I continued to workout with FPD for a solid year (maybe even a little longer than that) after those first 6 weeks in order to keep pushing myself to be the best me!
I can’t express how thankful I am to FPD Community and the support and knowledge I have gained from them. I will never look back on what they have offered me in terms of getting my health back “on track” and teaching me the value of self-prioritization with my health.
My journey is not done yet though! I continue to set daily goals for myself in order to keep myself accountable. I meal prep weekly in order to get the right nutrients in my body in order to be the healthiest me. I still have fitness goals I am striving to achieve. I still commit daily to by workouts. I’m not saying it’s easy and honestly, unfortunately I don’t think it will ever be easy, but what I do know is that the decisions I make daily to be the best me are the best decisions I ever get to make in a day!
So I guess I just want to close out by saying CHOOSE YOU! Prioritize YOUR health. Prioritize YOUR goals. Prioritize YOUR journey. It will be the best decision you will ever make!”
