Client Testimonial

Thank you Stacy for one of the most moving emails I have ever received!

At nearly 47 years old, my clock is ticking faster then ever and I can’t afford to waste any more time. My goal (and it truly is of absolute importance to me…) is to participate in one of next years figure competition. It’s always been a dream of mine but through you…and because of you…it has become a reality that “EVEN I” can do it. You may have once told me you are not our cheer leader but rather our trainer but you lady have always, ALWAYS been my biggest and most loyal fan…you made me feel like I could do ANYTHING!! There were definitely times during this “life changing” experience when I got deeply discouraged, but one little pep talk from you and I was on fire again, knowing full well I too, could be on that stage giving it my all. AND…because of you, last week was a week that I’ll never soon forget…I was on the top of world!! I finally broke down and went shopping!! I was finally tired of what all my dress pants looked like as they gathered around my waist from the belts I suddenly found I needed to wear…tired of holding my jeans up when running across a parking lot for fear they’d fall down if I didn’t…tired of people saying I’ve gotten too skinny but only because they couldn’t see the new and improved “toned” me underneath my now baggy clothes…tired of not looking professional or successful enough to buy new clothes…tired of not finding anything in my closet anymore that would flatter my figure but instead make me feel sloppy and unattractive…and the list goes on… So…I broke free the checkbook locks and went shopping. Kevin and I had a wedding to go to and I, for the first time, was going to meet a long time friend of Kevin’s. Not only did I want to knock Kevin’s socks off but I wanted his friend to think Kevin had done ok. With new clothes that would take me through a week of changes and something special for the wedding, this is what I received…the day after my shopping spree I came to work and the first thing I heard was…”WOW! Yummy!” From someone else…”Dang, don’t you look hot!” From another…”How do I get in touch with this trainer of yours?” And my dearest friend…”OH MY GOSH!! I had no clue Stacy!! You’ve had it all covered up with baggy worn out clothes!! Yesterday you just looked skinny…today I want to look like you! Will you help me??” And then the wedding…Kevin about fell to his knees and said I had never in 4 1/2 years looked so great! You should have seen him Noel…never has he looked more proud or have I ever felt more loved standing at his side! With his arm constantly around me, introducing me to everyone he knew, I don’t think I ever once looked at him when he wasn’t smiling. And his friend…yeah…that too was cool…he said to Kevin, “Now I know why you never introduced her to me before…you thought I’d try and steal her away. Nice job man! Far cry from what you came from!!” I think he was talking about Kevin’s ex-wife, who I’ve always thought was pretty. Anyway…All I guess I’m trying to say is thank you Noel…thank you for everything! I will be asking for your help again and when I do, I hope you’ll take me back with open arms and help me make the rest of my dream come true.

You may have “secretly” been my cheerleader, but you’ve also always been my inspiration, my hope, my idol and an absolute unbelievable, dynamite, incredible, fantastic kick ass trainer that not only do I respect and trust completely but a trainer that I’d refer hands down to anyone!! Needless to say…I need you Noel and NEVER in my wildest dreams would I seek anyone else to replace you.
