Here at Fitness One, we love to share our members success stories. We like to give appreciation when it is due, and today, we would like to share Elsie's success story with you:
"In June 2005 I decided that I would take a early retirement, due to health reasons, and being overweight. I lacked energy and felt sluggish. I thought of my Mother who had passed away around the age that I now was, due to medical problems, and also being overweight. It was then I realized it was time for me to change my lifestyle.
I then became a member of Fitness One. Since that time the gym has become my second home.
When I became a member, my weight was 158.6 lbs. My goal was to regain my health, and to lose 20 lbs within a year. I worked out seven days a week, for nine months until I finally achieved that 20 lbs loss!! I started feeling much better than I had in years. Upon achieving my first goal I became more motivated to go further, my aim was to be back to the same weight that I had been 10 years ago. I then began attending the gym 3 days a week.
Eventually I got back to my normal weight of 125 lbs. Wow, what a great feeling. I have gone from a size 14 to size 6. I am now more flexible, move faster, and feel better. I am generally happy and love life even more. Again I feel good with who I am, and what I look like. Through all this I have learned to eat healthy, keep active and maintain all that I have accomplished.
The staff at Fitness One, was the best part for me. They are friendly, supportive and also very encouraging.
If you really want to take control of your life, the support is there for you. And there are wonderful staff prepared to help and guide you. You will like yourself. You will be in control.
My advice to anyone reading my story would be to try not to view exercise as only a means to weight loss, It is also a part of a healthy lifestyle. And it can ward off plenty of health problems.
Be active, Get fit and take care of number one !!
You will be Happy that you did." - Elsie From Brampton, ON
