WORKED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF: JOE NARLOCH
When I was noti ced that I was one of the contestants in the Get Healthy Franklin contest, I knew that this was just the chance I needed to kick my sedentary lifestyle o the couch and into high gear. Now, it’s six months later and I would say that I have successfully accomplished that goal. I have been on every diet known to man and have given up on all of them after a few months. I also belonged to another gym for 20 years and never felt comfortable there. But, at Innovative, I was comfortable from day one.
My secret isn’t really a secret—at the core, I eat less and move around more. But, really, it’s so much more than that. I have never been one who felt comfortable taking classes at the gym. But, I started slowly with Body Vive and Spin. I noticed I was having fun and not watching the clock as I exercised. Suddenly, I was scheduling my gym time to be sure that I made it to Zumba and Body Attack a number of times during the week. I was also finally aware of the benefi ts of strength training as I was watching my body fat percentage go down and actually noticing a bit of defi nition in my muscles.
In the past, I have been an invisible and therefore infrequent gym-goer. If no one is going to notice that you’re missing, it is very easy to rationalize not going? But, at Innovative, I felt very welcomed. I have made friends in all of the classes and look forward to seeing them and exercising. I also bought an Exerspy and found that a huge motivation to burn calories and be sure that I get my “steps” in each day. The Exerspy lets you log in your food consumption so you have an instant comparison of what went into your body compared to what you burned o . It is a huge motivator. My next challenge is going to be the group training sessions – can’t wait to try that!!
I couldn’t be happier with Innovative. I have managed, after all these years, to make exercise and feeling good a part of my daily life. There was no doubt that I was going to continue as a member of the club, whether or not I won the Get Healthy contest. Most importantly, my kids are noticing that we are living “healthier” and they want to emulate that behavior – Mission Accomplished!! |
