One year ago today, I reached out to David, and it changed my life. I was fed up with spinning my wheels at the gym on my own 5 days a week and getting nowhere fast. In fact, my weight had been mysteriously increasing! As a Center member for several years, I was hesitant to reach out. In the past, I had a trainer who called me Ragdoll and told me I would always need to wear a knee brace. Fast forward to today: in one year, I’m down 12 lbs, and my lean mass is up 5 lbs. I feel younger, sleep better, and have more energy. My form and focus have improved, and I can actually do a squat properly for the first time in my life. I am crushing goal after goal, but the best part is that after a 40-year hiatus, I’m back to distance running again with ZERO knee issues whatsoever. I had to quit my college track team due to developing stress fractures, so I never dreamed this was even a possibility. I love it that I am maximizing the benefit of my gym membership while getting into the best shape of my life. Thank you to David and the Lourdes Fitness team. What a difference a year can make. The best is yet to come.
