Julie has lost over 53 Pounds, Over 11% Body Fat and over 42 Inches and Is Still Working Hard!

"Back in November 2007 I looked like this (fat picture on the left)… I would never have dreamed of going to the gym 6 days a week, ordering protein powder from bodybuilding.com or actually wanting to eat healthy. That was for crazy people!! Now I look more like this (not so fat picture)… I have lost over 50 pounds and almost 45 inches off my collective body parts. I can’t say that I felt bad or sick before, just sluggish, but I can definitely say that I feel much better now. I feel strong and have energy and best of all, feel good about how I look. Credit for my success is in large part due to my personal trainer, Angie Schumacher, who has been incredible. She has helped me in the gym, out of the gym and even in my head. (If I stay out past midnight, I hear my Dad’s voice in my head. If I consider ordering a cheese and mayo covered something at a restaurant, it’s ANGIE I hear.) I just do what she tells me to do and that has been a huge relief. I don’t have to figure out which machines to use or what exercises will work, I just have to follow instructions!

I’ve struggled with my weight pretty much my entire adult life. I’ve been very thin, very heavy (very) and I’ve been everything in between. At no point was I actually “fit”. Now that I am doing a structured weight/resistance training, as well as cardio, program I can honestly say this is the best I have ever felt. I started off wanting to just look decent in clothes. Now I want to look good NAKED!

I have to credit my husband for getting me in the gym. I don’t know if I would have been brave enough to go there the first time without him. Angie has kept me in the gym and wanting to come back. I still have a long ways to go, but I am really enjoying the journey!"

"Michelle lost over 10 pounds and 17.0 inches in 4 months!"

"Without Angie, I would have given up by now on trying to lose weight. She is a fabulous motivator and a wonderful resource of knowledge.

She works me to my limits, but at the same time listens to how I feel with my weight loss struggle. She is the best personal trainer I have ever had!"

"Katrina lost over 70 Pounds, 14% Body Fat and over 49 inches!"

"At the age of 48, I was told by my doctor that if I did not lose weight I might not make it to 58. I was 5 feet tall and weighed 270 lbs. I was considered morbidly obese. At his suggestion I went to see a bariatric surgeon. After speaking with the surgeon it became apparent that if I didn’t do something drastic I may never lose the weight. On that initial visit we scheduled my gastric bypass.I had the surgery on July 10, 2007. It was a very easy procedure for me. One of the least painful surgeries I had had.

With the help of my personal trainer, Angie, now 14 months post surgery I am 130 pounds lighter.

I have more energy than I have ever had and far stronger than I ever thought I would be. Not to mention healthier and happier."

"Sharyl has improved her energy levels and increased her strength!"

"After giving birth to my son over two years ago, I kept telling myself I would get back in shape, but never seemed to have enough time in a day to squeeze in a workout. I mistakenly thought that if I didn’t have an hour or more to devote to exercising that it wouldn’t be worth it. So instead, I tried to manipulate my weight by eating as little as possible…until I was so hungry that I ate as much as possible! It was a physical and emotional roller coaster that I was desperate to get off of.  When my well-intentioned 80-year-old mother-in-law tried to give me advice on how to get rid of my “saddle bags” I think I hit a new low. This, coupled with the fact that – despite my being in a normal weight range and having a normal BMI – my triglycerides were through the roof. Training with Angie has been mind and body changing experience! With Angie’s fitness and nutrition advice she showed me that I don’t have to run for hours or starve myself to create a body I’m not ashamed to see in a swim suit. In fact, the program Angie customized for me has me eating every 2 ½ hours (I’m NEVER hungry now), doing – at most – 20 minutes of interval cardio work, and full-body strength training three times per week. I’m so excited by the changes I’m experiencing in my improved energy level and my increasing strength! While I still struggle with body image issues, this is slowly being replaced by a new appreciation for being strong and healthy rather than caring so much about a little extra “baby fat.”"
