I started working with Tanya at Fit Appeal Training Studio the second week of January. While I haven't lost a lot as far as the scale goes, I've lost a lot of inches and dropped two shirt sizes and one pant size. I'm doing an extreme weight loss regimen the right way. I'm looking to lose over 100 pounds over the next year, and Tanya is the trainer I've selected to help me.
I've been overweight my whole life, and when I hit 30 I decided I was done with it. Time to save my own life and lose weight. I knew I needed help, and I looked for awhile. I'm too shy to go to some huge gym. I'd feel entirely overwhelmed so I know I wanted to go to a smaller gym. I also knew I wanted personal training. I wanted a trainer that knew me, knew my goals and limitations, and could design a program specifically for me. I found that with Tanya at Fit Appeal Training Studio.
First, the studio is great. It's private with shades covering the windows. Not to mention it is extremely well kept. I saw a few gyms while looking for a trainer that were just gross! So it's nice to go to a gym that doesn't smell like old gym socks, and isn't dingy and dirty. Fit Appeal is filled with every type of exercise equipment imaginable. I've been going for over three months now and still haven't used everything! Lol!
Second, the prices are very reasonable. Not only for one on one personal training, but also for her semi-private monthly package which I fully intend to take advantage of when I'm not so self conscious about my weight and can keep up with everyone else. For now it is personal training four times a week for me.
Third, Tanya knows so freaking much about health and nutrition! She is a wealth of knowledge, and will go over your eating habits with you and then design a personal meal plan around foods you like most. I appreciate that because I'm not a carrot and celery kind of girl. She started by asking me what kinds of foods I like most, and then emailed me pages of alternatives that I would enjoy. And I have. She also gave me a break down of what my meals should include including how many grams of protein etc.
Fourth, Tanya doesn't lie. She's not going to coddle you, or tell you what you want to hear just to get you in the door and take your money. I really like that. I've had enough people coddling me over the years and enabling me. I appreciate the fact Tanya just lays it out there. She was very upfront that I'm obese and it is going to take a lot of work to undo the damage my bad habits have caused. However, she also said as long as I put the work in we'll get it done. And we are! She keeps a very accurate log of what exercises we do each session so that she's working my entire body, but she does focus on my problem areas a lot. She pushes me every session. She pushes me as far as I can go, but she monitors me to make sure I don't pull or strain something. She's very involved in your training.
I just can't say enough about Tanya and Fit Appeal. I've signed up with her for all of 2015, and I expect I'll be training in her semi-private groups for years to come to maintain my weight loss. As long as neither of us moves! If you're looking for someone to dedicate themselves to helping you get healthy check out Tanya Peale at Fit Appeal Training Studio. I know she does a lot of physique training, and helping people sculpt their bodies, but she can do wonders for people who are overweight! I should know! She's helping me save my life!
