Real Members, Real Results at MUV
“I can do an hour on the elliptical now when I could barely do 10 minutes when I started. I still have a lot of work to do but this has been a great start to my healthier lifestyle.”
“I have learned a lot about myself and what I can accomplish when I put my mind to it. Not only did I accomplish my goals but had fun and gained friends while doing it. All my thanks goes to my trainer Dylan and all the other trainers for the awesome boot camps, seminars, the group workouts, and just encouraging words each week!”
“For me it is unbelievable to think that I have not only run a 5k, I have run 9 of them. I am running with a group for fun and will begin training for my first half marathon that I am running in May. I have made a magical transformation from fat to thin to strong. At 313 pounds who would have ever thought I would be in a commercial for a gym, or that I was going to be a featured runner for the Windermere Half Marathon. I have learned so much from being a part of MUV and these challenges. I feel the most important is that I used to think of weight loss as a destination, once I lost all the weight then I would be where I was and that would be it. This isn’t a destination for me, it’s a journey. My body is always changing and if I want to continue to be strong and healthy I have to continue on this journey.”
“Being given the right tools, with the right people helping you along your journey, regardless your fitness level, you won’t fail. Between the members, and the trainers. You have the support to help you succeed. The MUV it and Lose it Challenges have played a big role in getting me to where I am at today. You go through this with a newfound sense of family that won’t let family fail. The family that has become of this has been there to celebrate the highs and encourage through the lows. IF you have any doubts about this, throw them out the window. You owe it to yourself to change for the better and MUV will see you through that the change will happen and get you to your goals!”
“I walked into MUV and met Chanze. After discussing what my goals and needs were she told me exactly what it would take to lose the weight I wanted to in real numbers. Calories in- calories out = weight lost. I realized that I could not continue to live my life the same way and expect different results. I decided to the best of my abilities to follow the advice and direction of those who could help me reach my goals. That included my trainers Kirestin and Jessica and the rest of the MUV staff including Darius and Chanze.”
“I am happy with my progress and thankful for all the great support by both members and trainers. I am inspired by others who are working through their own journeys to health and fitness, and hope that in some way I’ve been able to encourage you. You are worth making the effort and investment in your health and fitness! I am grateful for the trainers, my own team members and others whose classes and boot camps I’ve joined along the way! I can’t wait to see what’s next!”
“I told my self that I’m going to lose 20Lbs and get down to 200 lbs. Boy was I shocked at the weigh In hen I tipped the scales at 240 lbs. Laura then told me that if I wanted to succeed at this, I needed to change my diet. I started eating right and continued my work out regiment. Now the pounds are coming off again. I’m close to hitting my 20 lb goal and may exceed it. This challenge has shown me how to live a healthy lifestyle. I’m looking forward to the next, so I can accomplish my original goal of getting to 200lbs. Who knows I may be down to 200 by the time the next challenge starts and have to find a new goal.”
“I enjoyed being introduced to new exercises that could easily be modified and used at home, should you not be able to make it into the Gym. Also, utilize the knowledge if on vacation and you don’t have access to a Gym! Of course, all other gym classes are available too, in case like me, you need some variety!”
“Before my weight loss began I weighed at 300 lbs. and was just diagnosed with Diabetes. I began watching my carb intake and cutting back on diet sodas and lost a few pounds. I than decided to have weight lost surgery and it help me a lot. I knew I had to do something else in order to keep the weight coming off and tone up, so I went to MUV Fitness. I wanted to start building muscle and toning. The challenge has help me to do that and I have gained strength & along with that I have lost weight and body fat. It has also gave me more confidence in myself and I have proved to myself that even though it is hard and my muscles hurt I can do it. With the help of Milady I will continue to build muscle and tone.”
“I began to recognize I could be alone in my battle or allow others to help me to succeed. MUV challenge is really about giving you the encouragement and support to get to where you need to be to succeed. It allows you to see we are all at different levels of fitness and trying to be the best we can be. So you may look at this challenges picture and not see much physical changes in the before and after shots, but if you look close enough you will see it in my eyes. The next challenge you will be able to see it in my eyes and my body. Thanks for helping me to get my head back in the game.”
“I started by walking and then water aerobics. As I lost weight, I tried new exercises. Each step and each new exercise increased my self-confidence. I began to believe that I could do this. I finally worked up the courage to ask for help. I started working with Carey in 2013 and she helped me learn just how strong I really am. She taught me how to exercise correctly and how to push myself and believe in myself. This challenge has done the same. It has kept me on track and focused. The weigh-ins and seminars have really helped keep me accountable. The best part of this entire experience is the relationships that I have made. Having other people here to lean on, to support me, and push me has made this such a great experience!”
