About Us
We Are Young But We
Have A Lot Of Friends Already
All Started In 2010
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary
My story has only just begun, I am in my 40’s, unemployed, need hernia surgery and weighed 407 lbs. I could have given up on myself or I could have had obesity surgery. I refused to accept what life was giving me, I made a choice to live. I went to LA Fitness and spoke to one of the kindest men I have ever met. He seemed to really care (Oscar Mosqueda), he signed me up for a personal training which was the best decision of my life. I now weight less than 300 lbs with the extraordinary help of my trainer (Eric Diaz). Eric helps me with my diet and exercise and he also cares. I am at the gym five days a week. Best of all I found new supportive friends, IT is my second home. Also, the other trainers have been incredibly supportive such as Ivan (the Adonis- fantastic body) who asks me how I am and how are my workouts. Then Patricia (the Greek Goddess- gorgeous) she is my cheer leader, whenever I am down I seek her out because she will make my day. I am still working at it! I was over 300 pounds at the time that I joined the gym in August of 2008. I started with cardio work outs and went to AquaFit classes at least 2 times a week. I lost about 40 pounds with this routine. At that time, I started going to the cycle classes and yoga classes. I also saw my weight loss slow down – and I signed up to work out with a personal trainer. Through my “support group” of the other class participants – especially the cycle class, and my AMAZING personal trainer – I lost 70 more pounds! I lost this weight over a year ago, and have been able to keep it off. My trainer helped me get ready for my biggest accomplishment to date. I went from being 311 pounds in August 2008, to finishing the Chicago Marathon in 2010! I can’t even describe the amazing sense of pride and personal achievement I have. I could not have done it without the class instructors, the friends I met at the gym, and my trainer. I know that I will keep the weight off, and keep going to the gym! I have been a member of LA Fitness in Brooklyn Park, MN for more than a year. When I signed up I also signed up with a trainer since I knew that would get me to come into the gym. When I first joined, I could not even take the tour of the gym because I was so out of shape and obese. My trainer, Brian, has been fantastic. I have had amazing results due to his style of training. He keeps me distracted from the number of repetitions I am doing by talking to me. I knew that having someone yell at me to get me to do more repetitions would not work for me and Brian understood. This style of training works wonderfully and because of Brian’s dedication to his clients, I am well on my way to reaching my goals.
