I wanted to share my 1-year journey to encourage you to truly give this place a chance as I believe you'll have no regrets.
First, a little about me. When I joined Frequency, I weighed over 190 lbs, was topping 30% body fat and was in the worst shape of my life while preparing to be a first time dad. Worse, I have had borderline hypertension since I was a teen and I don't need to state the dangers of being overweight and having high blood pressure
Joining was not easy for me and I wanted to quit daily for the first month just looking for a reason to give up. I'm also a super introvert so group workouts were intimidating at first. I also had some of the worst form when I started including being corrected for even simple things like air squats - no exaggeration.
But I stuck with it. One year later, I'm down nearly 30 lbs. I've lost over 8% body fat since starting the body scans in January and 14% body fat overall since joining last year. All while adding muscle. PS - I still eat pizza, have cookies, etc. You don't have to completely give up foods or things that bring you comfort and I've learned that during this time.
I've have made friends in the process. Built up my confidence. Look better. Feel better. And most importantly, the healthiest I've been in a long time.
Seriously, there isn't enough good things I can say about being a member besides stick with it and trust the process. I know my journey has just begun and I really urge you to give it a try.
I hope to see you all in the gym going forward. Reach out to me or talk w/any member as most have similar stories. And more importantly, do it for you.
PS - The coaches are truly the best and you can go to them for anything whether it's help with form, nutrition or just to talk. They're great people and better friends.
