Let me start by saying I have read a few fitness testimonials in my lifetime. Always thinking to myself "Wow, way to go, or "Holy shit they look amazing" or my favorite "Is that the same person"? Well it is now my turn to expose my ugly truth.

I was truly over weight and in a bad place in life. Feeling unhappy, lonely, unattractive and lost I turned to the good ole comfort food. Yep, I was overeating, drinking and working a lot to fill the void. It wasnt until my divorce that I realize that I needed to take my life in a healthy direction. Purge the shit storm so to speak.

I turned to Amy Brantner/sister, trainer, gym owner and nutritionists for help. Now I know some think there is a special drink that taste terrible or a pill that makes you skinny or fairy dust out there but nope that's not the case. I was introduced to a healthy eating plan and consistent exercise routine. Yep there it is. I did what my amazing trainer told me to do. That's the secret my friends. Was it easy? No.Was it worth it? Yes!! Less than a year ago I said what my sister never thought I would say,"I think I want to train for a show". I competed in my first show two weeks ago and felt so empowered. I have never felt so strong, fit and happier in my life. I am so very thankful to Amy Brantner and all the trainers at A Personal fit for helping me succeed. My new goal is set and I am ready begin my training. I hope this will inspire others who are ready to make a change.

Step one..let go of whatever is unhealthy that no longer serves a positive purpose in your life.

Step two...get a trainer/ friend or in my case both to help you set your goals. May I suggest the trainers at A Personal fit.

Above all believe in yourself and know your worth it ;)
