"With the help of Genesis Personal Fitness, after just 26 weeks, I lost 74 pounds, shrinking down from a size 22 to a size 8.
After more than a decade of frustration and agonizing over trying to manage my weight, I decided to switch gears and shift to a healthier lifestyle.
I'm a 23-year old, a 5-foot-2-inch nursing major at Holy Family University and have struggled with my weight ever since I was 13 years old. My weight was out of control, mostly because of an irregular schedule and poor eating habits with lots of fast food and no exercising.
My weight problem really exacerbated after I graduated from high school and began college. I gained 30 to 40 pounds during my initial semesters in college due to irregular scheduling, poor eating habits with alcohol and fast food and lack of exercise.
Fortunately, an associate of my mom, who is a nurse at Albert Einstein Medical Center, suggested I try a program at Genesis Personal Fitness. I called to find out more about the program, but didn't begin for a couple of more weeks because I wanted to be mentally determined to succeed.
When I decided to begin a Genesis Program, Genesis Personal Fitness gave me a personalized program that blended proven, monitored exercise and balanced nutrition with motivational support and coaching that created a plan that helped me achieve the success I was after.
They took my measurements and had me fill out questionnaires related to my age, personal health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals. After an extensive evaluation, I began my program that included a consult with a nutrition coach once per week and exercise with Genesis Exercise Instructors three times a week. My Genesis Program blended instructor-supervised exercise on state-of-the-art equipment with effective nutritional counseling and planning.
This is definitely one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I now look much better, feel good mentally and am more focused and energetic. Also, I really enjoy buying new clothes in regular stores right off the rack.
Genesis provides a real warm, friendly environment. The Genesis Exercise Instructors offer ongoing support and motivation, encouraging you to continuously go farther. And my Nutrition Coach really helps with your personal food choices.
My mother was a great support to me during my program, not only because she found Genesis Personal Fitness, but also because she helped me buy the recommended foods and prepare my meals, so all I had to do was eat them.
My advice to you if you are trying to manage your weight is -- try Genesis Personal Fitness -- be determined, stick with it, and allow Genesis to help you develop a healthier lifestyle."
