True Story – Staying Fit in the Gym & the Kitchen REALLY Works! – The Body Firm

We’re Living Proof!

We’ve all heard the adage, “Get fit in the gym. Lose weight in the kitchen.” Doing one is great. Combining them is awesome AND life-changing! Jim and Katherine – Body Firm members – are living proof that the adage is more than just a clever saying.

The two joined the Body Firm in January 2023, and through the combination of twice-weekly workouts, being more active in general and incorporating healthier eating habits, they became (in their own words), entirely new people by April of 2024.

What happened? Katherine was approaching her 70th birthday and Jim had recently passed that milestone birthday when Katherine decided that “enough was enough.” She missed wearing single-digit sized clothing and he was tired of always being tired. They decided to reach out to the Body Firm, had their consultations, liked what they saw in the studio and the available programs and flexibility, and signed up for one year of twice-weekly semi-private personal training.

While an avid DIY-er, Jim had never exercised before. Admittedly, “I would get out of breath just walking up the hills on the golf course. Now I get in at least 7,000 steps each day and wouldn’t dream of missing one of my workouts at the Body Firm.” For a very long time, Katherine had been a dedicated exerciser, but she had gained so much weight that she no longer recognized herself. “Worse,” she added, “I have close friends who never knew me as slim. Now everyone calls me the ‘Incredible Shrinking Woman’ and I love feeling stable on the stairs again.”

Jim and Katherine intend to continue working out at the Body Firm until, as they put it, “death prevents us from getting there.” Jim likes the personal attention and enthusiastic support he gets from the trainers at the gym. “That continual feedback makes all the difference. I know I am getting the most out of every minute that I am there.”

Katherine likes the new exercise challenges and the feeling of physical competence. “Once I master a compound exercise or am able to lift a particular weight smoothly, I feel like a million dollars!”

Both agree that they will be living better – and perhaps even longer – now that they are dedicated to keeping fit in the gym and maintaining their ideal weights with healthier habits in the kitchen.

DOING THE WORK + LIVING THE LIFE = RESULTS!
