In The Spotlight - Julie
Julie is a client of mine and she has been working very hard in our sessions and you can definitely tell! She looks amazing, and like she said, she is still not done! I am so excited to see how she looks when we are done!
“Six months ago I looked like this (fat picture)… I would never have dreamed of going to the gym 6 days a week, ordering protein powder from bodybuilding.com or actually wanting to eat healthy. That was for crazy people!! Now I look more like this (not so fat picture)… I have lost over 30 pounds and almost 30 inches off my collective body parts. I can’t say that I felt bad or sick before, just sluggish, but I can definitely say that I feel much better now. I feel strong and have energy and best of all, feel good about how I look. Credit for my success is in large part due to my personal trainer, Angie Schumacher, who has been incredible. She has helped me in the gym, out of the gym and even in my head. (If I stay out past midnight, I hear my Dad’s voice in my head. If I consider ordering a cheese and mayo covered something at a restaurant, it’s ANGIE I hear.) I just do what she tells me to do and that has been a huge relief. I don’t have to figure out which machines to use or what exercises will work, I just have to follow instructions!
I’ve struggled with my weight pretty much my entire adult life. I’ve been very thin, very heavy (very) and I’ve been everything in between. At no point was I actually “fit”. Now that I am doing a structured weight/resistance training, as well as cardio, program I can honestly say this is the best I have ever felt. I started off wanting to just look decent in clothes. Now I want to look good NAKED!
I have to credit my husband for getting me in the gym. I don’t know if I would have been brave enough to go there the first time without him. Angie has kept me in the gym and wanting to come back. I still have a long ways to go, but I am really enjoying the journey!”
