IT WORKS! I lost 21.2 pounds in 6 weeks. No, it was not easy, but if I can do it (working full time at a demanding job, being a mom of a 5 and a 1-year-old, starting a side business and while selling our house), then you can do it too! I have never been able to keep up with any fitness plan, or gym until I found Achievement Fitness.
The coaches are incredible. What I loved the most is that they care so much about your success and well being. We started the challenge with a movement assessment to make sure the coaches and we were aware of any restrictions. Each exercise during the challenge had options for each restriction. I started the challenge with 2 restrictions (no squatting with weights and no overhead weights), finished with NO restrictions!
The ONE thing that I had doubts about was checking into Facebook every day I went to the gym and changing my profile and banner pictures. I thought my friends would find it annoying. However, it was the complete opposite! It was an excellent support system. My family and friends knew exactly what the goal was, my progress (because I would share it) and they too help me stay on track. For example, at a party, I was very close to cheating on my diet, and my friend came to my rescue and told me how amazing motivation I was for her, how she too was making changes and how great I looked. I put that piece of bread back; it was certainly not worth it.
I absolutely love the atmosphere of the transformation center: great music, awesome coaches, incredible people that are always supporting you without judgment. There are no intimidating machines or heavy equipment; only weights and TRX - which makes it even more incredible because I always thought that I needed every single machine in the gym to transform my body.
In reality, I only needed a healthy eating guidelines, a routine that fit my restrictions, daily motivation and the incentive to keep me going every day. Thank you so much Achievement Fitness! I couldn't have done it without you all!
