You never know What you are capable of until you try
Arlene Curtis It was New Years Eve when a group of my family and friends got together to celebrate at my home. We had just finished eating as usual and were sitting around when someone decided that this was the year that they were going to lose weight and get in shape. I just laughed and thought good luck. Then everyone started marching to my washroom to step on my scales and make their New Years resolution. I thought what the heck and I did to. I could not believe what I saw. It was then I realized that my life style had to change. I joined the gym as soon as the holidays were over and began my journey. Before losing weight I felt tired and stressed all the time and working in daycare and raising a family was quite challenging . I just didn't have the energy to cope. In June 2008 I joined the group Combat Fitness and the changes in my life were amazing. Now I feel like everyday life is possible. I am running and weight training and continuing to reach my goals. I have recently ran and completed a 15K run. It's definitely something I could never have done before. To date I have went from a size 14 to an 8 and have lost a total of 12 inches and 30 pounds. Becoming physically fit and losing weight has been the greatest gift I have given myself and my family. You never know what you are capable of until you try and if someone like me can change my life so can others just like me. |

Doris King On July 23th, 2008 my best friend Beverley convinced me to do something that would impact me for the rest of my life, and that was to attend a Combat Fitness class. After attending a class that evening herself, she was all pumped up about it and decided that she would recruit her friends and family to join with her. It’s eight months later and we are all still attending the 6:00 am classes every morning. I was a faithful walker and thought I was in pretty good shape for a 46 year old until Combat Fitness and our first 3 km run around Glynmill Inn Pond. I thought I would literally pass out and certainly could not run the whole way, but I am proud to say now, that I can do a 10 km run on most days with relative ease. I have tried other activities in the past such as aerobics classes, swimming, yoga and joining a gym. Which are all great activities but I became bored very quickly with the same thing over and over and ended up quitting before I could see any results. The thing I enjoy most about Combat Fitness is that the routine is changed daily, it’s never boring and the camaraderie within the group is second to none. I have lost weight and many inches, but the muscle tone I have gained and my overall outlook on staying healthy and fit is without a doubt something that will stay with me for the rest of my life, thanks to Combat Fitness. |
