Bryan’s Story…When I started this journey in my life I was a different person. Most of my life I have been overweight andnot physically active. For the most part I thought I was happy and excepted that I was overweight and wouldalways be overweight. However as the years went by the weight also piled on. I was no longer overweight.At 316 lbs I was obese. I made several attempts on my own but always failed. Each time I failed I wouldlose more of my confidence and self esteem. After several years of failing I no longer had the confidence inmyself and had given up.I decided to seek out some professional help. After searching for doctors and looking into exercise camps Idecided to try speaking with a personal trainer. On January 9, 2009 I met with a women who has helped mechange my life. Her name is Ranjna, a personal trainer at Good Life Fitness. Within the first 5 minutes ofspeaking with Ranjna I knew that she was the right fit for me.Both Ranjna and I agreed my goals were to lose body fat and build lean muscle. We decided to set my goalweight at 190 lbs and lose 126 lbs. She told me in order to make this work I needed to commit to a 3 days aweek with her, 3 days a week myself doing cardio, and eating a healthy diet. I gave her my word and signedup for an entire year.Working with Ranjna gave me a drive I had never experienced before. The physical results were so nice tosee however the emotional results were even bigger. Each workout with my trainer has given me moreconfidence in myself. My workouts are always personalized week to week. They are never boring andalways a challenge.“Trust your Trainer” I believe putting all my trust in Ranjna is why I am successful today. She has made theimpossible possible. The past 8 months has been so amazing. I feel there is nothing I cannot accomplish. Iam 110 lbs lighter and in the best shape of my life. I am so happy to say that I am a completely differentperson and I believe in myself. The confidence I never had before, I now have. I have a new love forexercise and can see my end goal. I realize now I was not happy with my life before. I just never knew howgood life should feel. For 36 years I was missing out on a huge part of my life. For anyone else who isthinking about changing their life, I cannot express enough how important a trainer has been for me. Eventhough I am the one doing the sweating, Ranjna has been the one who keeps me challenged, changes myworkouts, nutrition, and helps me through the tough times. My sessions with Ranjna go beyond the gym.Since I have been training with Ranjna I have learned how my body works with food and exercise. What mybody needs for food intake and how to get the most out of a workout. I never imagined when I enteredGood-life Fitness 8 months ago that I would be where I am today. This life style change is something I willkeep with me and use in my life, long after achieving my goals. I cannot not express enough thanks toRanjna for her dedication and time she has spent with me. She gives me her own personal time and careeveryday. It is obvious that this is more than just a career for Ranjna, it’s her passion.
