Sheila's Success Story

"Gaining weight was never a goal, it just happened. I got really lazy and didn't pay attention to what I was eating, nor did I exercise as much as I should have. I never pushed myself to change my lifestyle. My health was not a priority, and it showed by the weight I gained over the years. It was definitely a low point to have weighed as much as I did at that point in my life. I gained the weight consistently over a three year period.
  
My motivation to get healthy came when I was offered a new job. My job required that I be confident (speaking to others, testifying, forming relationships), and I found that I just was not confident in the way I looked, and that translated into how I felt. I knew I needed to change this, and exactly three weeks after starting my new job, I was able to find True Fitness Bootcamp. 
  
The exercise program that True Fitness Boot Camp maintains is focused on the body, and the mind. When I first started with True Fitness Boot Camp, I never thought I'd be able to do various things, like planks, burpees, or a lot of push-ups. I guess I was always afraid to try as I didn't know what I was doing. With True Fitness Boot Camp, the fear just went away. I quickly realized that with the proper mindset, and with a great support group, I figured there was no harm in trying. Months later, I now know I can push my body and achieve the results I want without a machine or with the use of weights.  Apart from losing weight, inches, and building muscle, the biggest goals I achieved were increasing my self confidence, and running a 100 miles in one month. It was a lofty goal but I did it. I was able to run 6 days a week, increase my speed, and finish my goal of running 100 miles in one month. A year ago, I never thought I would be able to do such a thing. But with the motivation of my peers in True Fitness Boot Camp, I did it!"
