What was your life like before Get You In Shape?
Get up, go to work, go home, sit on my butt for a couple hours, go to bed & start all over again. My weight kept creeping up, but not willing to do anything about it either.
Why did you decide to join the Get You In Shape program?
I was just perusing Facebook & an ad popped up for GYIS. I clicked on it. It looked interesting, so I went ahead & filled out the form for more info. I liked what Brad said about the program & so I signed up.
What was your first impression of Get You In Shape?
The first week I was kind of…ok, this is alright, but I didn’t really know the different exercises & was not feeling overly excited. As the weeks went by, I was feeling more comfortable, everyone was welcoming, & the trainers really paid attention to everyone to make sure they are doing the exercises properly. Since that first month, it just gets better all the time. It’s a great program.
What have been some of the tools you have used that have benefitted you?
The fitness pal has been helpful in tracking my progress. The 2 biggest tools in my mind are: Brad’s “follow the darn instructions” & initial “why” paperwork & secondly, the GYIS people. The people are a huge motivator & tool for me.
How is Get You In Shape different from other programs you have tried before?
The people are just great…both clients & trainers, everyone is there for the same reason & having a good time doing it. Also, Brad’s different programs (Biggest Winner, etc.) keep people engaged & excited about the journey.
What results and benefits have you experienced with Get You In Shape?
I lost 5 lbs. the first month & another 5 the second; then kind of hit a wall & regained 2 lbs.; then I got my mind right & have lost another 7 lbs., so I am now at 225 (which was my goal. I’m down a waist size in my jeans, I feel better, both physically & mentally, my eating habits & my progress & now I’m thinking 215 as a new weight goal. My lower back issue is way better. I’ve never considered myself as a runner, but I’ve now run mile times that I never thought about being possible for me. I’ve improved each month on my time, from 10:48 to the latest being 7:35. I don’t know if I can do better than that, but I’m very pleased that GYIS has allowed me to do this.
What would you say to anyone looking at this program?
Absolutely do it! Even if you’re on the fence and haven’t yet formulated your “reason” why, then give the quickstart a try, and I bet at the end of the month, you will have found it and you’ll be hooked! Great program, great trainers who care, and great people to work out with and have a fun time doing it!
