I was ready to take control of my life!

In January of 2014 I was ready to take control of my life once again. After all, I thought, this is the only life I’ll get so I might as well start making it the best one I could! And so I called the number from the Penny Saver ad and reached Lori Stein, whose enthusiasm and energy were overwhelming! I couldn’t help but think that if she believed so strongly in this program, surely there must be something there that would benefit me. I signed up for a month to see if this was what would help me get back on track to the life I wanted and needed.

The first month was full of ups and downs, struggles and victories. It wasn’t easy for a 62 year old, who had been fairly active for most of her life, to realize that jumping jacks, slide-backs, push-ups and squats were NOT things that improved with age! But at the end of the month, after gaining friends and some self-confidence, losing over 5 pounds and 3% body fat, I thought that I’d try it for another month.....and then another, and then another. I’ve now been with Tall Trainer for over 1 1/2 years, and have lost over 40 pounds, at least 7 inches each from my chest, waist and hips, nearly 12% body fat and have never felt better! My eating habits are greatly improved through the education that Jeremy provides as well as the Vitabot program utilized by Tall Trainer to which every member has access. It was such a strong factor in helping me attain my goal weight. It helps individuals create meal plans to meet their objectives and goals, and educates users as to nutritional values of various foods. Long live veggies!

I am convinced that this is where I was meant to be, that a powerful force in my life guided me to this program and these exceptional people who have strengthened me physically, mentally and spiritually. The motivation and encouragement given by Jeremy and his staff (Sarah, Christine, Andrew, Lori and Lynn) gives me an inner drive to work hard, and to succeed. They educate their boot camp members so that safety is always a factor as exercises are performed. Variety in our daily regimen really provides incentive to attend each day. Boxing is one of my favorite “stations”, as I’d never done that before! What a stress reliever!! And weights are another favorite....what an immediate awareness of self-improvement as you increase the amount you can lift! I’m also doing my push-ups from my toes....not many, but OK for a 64 year old!! Also, I treasure the way Jeremy works to keep our sessions interesting for boot campers; seeing the staff in President’s Day costumes, our spooky Halloween work-outs with a pumpkin, and Jeremy in a grass skirt, just for the fun of it!!! What a talented, knowledgeable and dedicated group of men and women, we are so fortunate to have them guiding us, teaching us, and caring about us. They are so uniquely great!

I am so thankful to be a part of Tall Trainer. The friendships that have developed will last because we all share similar journeys through life. I’ve gone on far too long, and want to wrap this up by saying “thank you” to Tall Trainer. Your value is immeasurable, and the lives you’ve changed so very many. We’re so blessed you’re in our lives!
