I was slowly packing on the pounds – once again …taking care of my aging mother and running my businesses, I didn’t put myself really on the list at all other than surviving. I was ashamed to look in my full closet and try to figure out what I could wear, what would fit.

I was motivated by one of the success stories in the paper about the Women’s Gym. I met with Ann and signed up for the training sessions – which have been great. Prior to that if I was alone in the gym, I’d probably give it 5 minutes and not do it correctly. Ann has guided me, taught me & answered my questions with patience.

Since March I’ve combined the gym with healthy eating. I have achieved my goal…released 23 pounds and now I'm focused on toning up. I’m noticeably stronger, have long lasting all day into evening energy & happy with how I easily slip into anything and it fits (even my smallest jeans I’ve kept for years hoping to get back in them…I do now and they are loose!)

I am now disciplined with my health. I make consistent decisions each day with food and exercise. My metabolic age is 5 years younger than I actually am. That is very exciting! I’m thankful that we have the Women’s Gym right here in town, it’s a huge benefit to our city."
