What made you decide to join TruFit?
At my last doctor’s appointment, I asked what would really make a change in my life. Her answer was simple: “Exercise.” That was a wake-up call for me.
What were some of your biggest struggles with health and fitness before joining?
I was dealing with high blood pressure and cholesterol.
How were you feeling physically and mentally before you started?
I was constantly tired and fatigued. I had no energy and just didn’t feel like myself.
What was your first impression of TruFit?
From the very first class, it felt like a family atmosphere. Courtney is fantastic—she keeps everyone motivated and makes it fun to keep coming back.
Had you tried other programs before?
Nope—this is the first program I’ve ever stuck with.
What were your biggest challenges in the first few weeks?
Definitely the soreness and getting used to the workouts. But once I got into a rhythm, everything started to click.
What kind of physical changes have you noticed since starting?
I’ve lost some weight—not as much as I originally hoped—but I’ve gained noticeable muscle and strength. At my last doctor’s appointment, her first words were, “I’m impressed.” Everything—blood pressure, cholesterol—is trending back to normal. She said she’s excited to see me again in November!
Has your mindset changed since joining?
Absolutely. I have a more positive outlook on life. It’s been a real mental shift.
What are you most proud of so far?
Honestly? Just sticking with it. I’ve stayed consistent, and it’s made a big difference in how I feel overall.
Has your success here carried over into other areas of your life?
Yes—in both work and play. I have the strength and stamina to do things I couldn’t before, especially in the afternoons when I used to crash.
What’s surprised you most about this journey?
I expected to lose more weight, but I didn’t realize how much my body would change in other ways. I’ve lost inches I didn’t expect—gone down three notches on my belt. That’s when I really noticed it’s working.
Have your habits around food, sleep, or stress changed?
Yes! My stress levels are down, and my eating habits are much better. Smaller portions, more protein—we’re just eating cleaner overall.
What role has the TruFit community played in your success?
The community is incredible. It keeps me motivated. I actually look forward to coming back and pushing myself.
Is there a fellow member who has inspired or supported you?
Mike has definitely been an inspiration. And Courtney—she keeps all of us on track. She's the heart of it.
What goals are you working on now?
I still want to lose a bit more weight and continue building strength. Those are my two main focuses right now.
What would you say to someone who’s thinking about joining but feels nervous to start?
I saw a TruFit ad on Facebook right after that eye-opening doctor’s appointment. It felt like the timing was right, so I just decided to try it. Six months later, I’m still here—and I feel better than ever. So my advice? Just go for it. You won’t regret it.
