Amy started the VIP HEALTHY FITNESS program on 12/15/2012. As of 02/03/2014 she has reduced her body weight by 156 lbs.! Congratulations!!!

                Over a lifetime I have gained, lost and gained  again hundreds of pounds. I tried so many diets I lost count. I had resigned myself to living trapped by fat, in pain, with limited mobility and little zest for life's possibilities.  

                That was before coming to FITNESS STUDIO and working with John and his program. John is a gifted coach and teacher. He understands in specific detail how the body works and what it needs for optimum health.

                 I have been transformed inside and out by following John's custom plan for me. I am now very happy, full of energy and love, love, LOVE weight training!

                 Some things I have learned:

1. Never, never give up.

2. It is never too late to be all you can be.

3. To make change hold, it is a n inside job.

4. If I can do this, anyone can do it.

5. It works if you work it.

               Becky weighed 219.25 lbs. on 03/17/2011 when we started her on the VIP HEALTHY FITNESS program. On 11/03/2011 she weighed in at 139.25 lbs. Congratulations!!!

                        I started the program to lose weight for knee replacement surgery. I had always believed that as you age you naturally gain weight and slow down. As an unexpected result I have more energy, feel better physically, mentally and emotionally than I ever have. The meals are simple, elegant and colorful. They are exactly what my body needs, no more no less. I could see the excess pounds melt away.

              John is a perfect example of what this program can do. He lives by it and is the epitome of fitness, youth and energy. He is a perfect coach and is positive and supportive through every step.

                  UPDATE: Today, 03/30/2015, is my year's anniversary of maintenance, which has been a huge and exciting challenge. I have been amazed at how satisfying eating healthy foods is for me. I don't have the craving that I used to.

                  I have always been focused on self-care and not hurting my body that was compromised by polo. John has been superb in understanding my limitations and helping me to work within them while building strength I never had.  Not one injury, which is unusual, given all the other people whom I sought help from where I did injure my body. Another fantastic benefit from this work was I have been able to get off the CPAP machine I needed to sleep.

                 The past year and a half working with John has had a life-changing effect on my life. I am so grateful for his expertise, wisdom and caring heart. I actually have the body that I always wanted but didn't believe I could ever have.

                Ann started the VIP HEALTHY FITNESS program on 09/09/2013 weighing 173.5 lbs.. In a short 7 months she weighed in at 108 lbs.! Her husband Tim started on 09/30/2013 weighing 273.5 lbs. He reduced his body weight by 90 lbs.! Congratulations to the both of you!!!

                Today, 09/09/2014, is my one year anniversary of working with John. I began to work with John because I wanted more energy, to lift weights in a way that would not hurt, to eat as healthy as possible and to lose some weight. When asked, I said that it would be good to lose 30 lbs. - I was being realistic... After all, I was 63 years old. But my main goal was to have the most efficient metabolism I could have so that my energy would enable me to do the work I love and travel well into my 70s.

                  I was on what I considered a healthy regimen: gluten free, very few processed foods, especially sugars; swimming 3 times a week, every so often lifting weights and bike riding. I had struggled with the same 25 lbs. for over 20 years. I watched my close friend Amy lose over a 100 lbs. and wanted what she had.

                  Within 3 weeks, I had lost 10 lbs.. That made it easy for me to stay with the VERY strict regimen John recommended. My husband, Tim, also overweight by 90 lbs., watched my progress and decided to work with John. What a difference it made for both of us to be involved. We began shopping regularly at the farmers market and at the organic market.

                  I was realizing that 30 lbs. wouldn't begin to get me to the "lean" place that John said I needed to be in order to have the energy I wanted. I did exactly what John recommended because I loved the results I was seeing and feeling.

                  It took me only 7 months to lose 65 lbs.. I went on the most exciting shopping spree of my life. Tim had just as much as fun shopping... Going from XXL to Medium. It was great to wait outside the store dressing room and see what he would look like. I had traded my husband for a new model! I loved the look on his face when I came out in a new outfit and he said "WOW" !!!
