That's me! This is how Gainesville Fit Body Boot Camp and Personal Training helped me reach my fitness goals!
Okay, I’m going to be brutally honest with you guys. I hit my breaking point about three months ago.
I’m not going to ask if you’ve ever got to the point with yourself that you were just uncomfortable in your own skin, because everyone has been there. I must say, I was definitely there!! What did it? This little guy...
Yup, that’s right, ‘tis the season for weddings and my “go to” dress didn’t fit anymore. Not only that, but I knew that in 6 months I was going to have to put on the ever daunting bridesmaids dress for my dad’s wedding. Oye vey!
My friend from work, Anacielo, knew that I needed some motivation so she invited me to go with her to Jake’s Fit Body Boot Camp.
Sounds intimidating doesn’t it? About a week later, I actually made it to Sun Country where they hold the boot camp. Jonathan and Alexis (two of the trainers) absolutely kicked my butt. I haven’t worked out that hard in quite a long time...maybe ever actually. They were super encouraging, even through my lackluster attempt at burpees (really, they were not pretty).
After a few encouraging text messages from Jake (the owner) and a few more free sessions (yeah they let you try out a week for FREE), I rounded up another friend from work to sign-up with me.
So what does that mean exactly? Well, I thought it was just going to be a few group exercise sessions a week, but boy did I under estimate the AXIS program. Not only did I get access to all the Boot Camps I could possibly ever want to attend, but I also got access to all the TRX classes I wanted to attend!
On top of this, Jake does a one-on-one nutritional and orthopedic assessment to help you set some personal goals up front. This is where the real fun began...
Let’s just lay some things out on the table first:
(1) I’m the absolute definition of a southern girl - including the Paula Dean-esque cooking habits my mother bestowed upon me.
(2) I’m 25 years old, live by myself and work about 45-50 hours a week (can you say work-aholic).
(3) I travel A LOT for my job which makes the whole eating healthy and exercising thing twice as hard.
Put it all together, shake it up a bit, and you’ve got yourself a hot mess of unhealthy eating and horrible exercise habits. Jake already had me on the program to fix the exercising part, but the eating/lifestyle would be a little more challenging.
Jake and his team were so committed to my personal success that he and Jessica (one of the other trainers) came to my house one evening and raided my kitchen.
Let’s just say the frosted flakes didn’t survive the raid. They helped me write out a shopping list and soon got me onto a healthier eating program. Here is the video of my “Gainesville Kitchen Raid,” and let me tell you, although it was intimidating at first, I was so thankful to have a trainer care so much about my eating habits like Jake and Jess. Just check out the video and see for yourself!
Pretty enlightening, huh? Well, I learned a lot from that, and am pleased to say that my eating and grocery shopping habits have changed tremendously. Jake and his team make sure that all aspects of your personal training are met, and encouraging healthy eating habits is a HUGE part of my success.
Stay tuned for next video where we see my new and improved food selection!
