I joined the 6 weeks challenge (around mid-May to June) to get fit for my sister's wedding on June 24th, so my challenge ended right before the wedding weekend, it was perfect timing! I am very glad to have join, and here's a couple of reason why...
I saw results, such as
(1) losing 2 bra size (I went from 32DDD to 32D; I admit I was sad to see them go but I am now happier with my new look since I look healthier and slimmer),
(2) losing belly fat (I measured in morning before eating or drinking, lost about 3 inches),
(3) losing weight (weighed on personal scale in morning before eating or drinking, lost about 7 pounds),
(4) increase in lean muscle (my arms and thighs are much more define and muscular looking now), and
(5) decrease in fat mass & body fat percentage (as apparent from the changes I mentioned above, and how much my face has slimmed down).
Basically, my whole body transformed. I am very happy now with my healthier and slimmer look. My goal was not just to lose weight, I wanted to lose the fat and gain muscle, because I want to look tone, so Nashletics really helped me with accomplish that.
Those were some of the more visible/physical changes, as for the nonphysical changes:
(1) I feel stronger
(2) I have higher endurance
(3) I can do things that I couldn't before (for example, I can do a couple of push ups, before, I couldn't even do a proper single push up), and
(4) I feel more confident
A couple of other reasons of why I enjoy it has to do with the (1) workout program, (2) coaching, and (3) community.
(1) I admit I was very scare during my 1st week but after the 1st week, I realize I actually like going to their classes. I found myself having fun, enjoying the workout, and challenging myself to do more. Also, their workout gives an afterburn effect which I really like because it means my fat is still burning and muscles are forming even after the workout is completed.
(2) Plus, the coaches are always there to help. For example, they made sure I am comfortable with what I was lifting, and corrected my form if needed. I am very grateful for their time and guidance on this, because I am not a very athletic person, so I was really glad how patient they were with helping me with my form. So, a big thank you to Mark, Nancy, Steve, April, Kelsey, and Joshua! I attended mostly the Crossfit class that was coached by Nancy and Steve, so I want to give a special mention about them, because they.are.AWESOME. I would go to both of their classes a day if I could. They are so attentive, helpful, patient, giving easy to follow instructions, and I learned sooooo much from them! I learned new ways to stretch and warm up to loosen up my tighten and sore spots. I learned new ways to lift weights. Basically, I gained so much new knowledge and experience in their classes! At first I felt intimidated by them because they all look so strong and fit, but after the class, I feel like I can trust them, and go up to them to ask for help without being judge. They are really great coaches. Mark, the owner, deserves a special mention too. I lost count of how many times I went up to him about nutrition question or about my progress in the challenge. He was very encouraging each time,and patient while giving useful and helpful response. I was at first skeptical about this program, especially before I sign up, but I decided to trust him and join, and I am very glad I did.
(3) The members were all also very friendly & encouraging. They don't judge you or yell at you. I did not feel any negativity there when going to the classes. Overall, this is a great bunch of people, and a great community.
My overall experience at Nashletics had been a great one, and I can't wait to come back for more in the future!
