Seeing the Success - Julie and Debbie
Submitted by David Weaver on Wed, 09/02/2009 - 7:10am
We had two people finish our 12 session beginner class last week. Both of them are improving quite nicely and we can see the results in more than one way!
We'll start with Julie.
Julie has come a long way in the past 6 weeks or so. She started with tons of knee pain, swollen knees, back pain, plantar fascitis and some nerve impingment. She has been working SO hard that we have been able to get rid of most of her knee pain, the back pain is gone, nerve impingement is gone, and we are making progress on the plantar fascitis. Julie gives 100% every time she comes to the gym, and she does her homework during the week. She is losing weight, getting rid of pain, and is on her way to being in GREAT shape. Check out a couple pictures of her below and make sure to check out that first day vs. 6 weeks later! Her time went from 14:28 to 6:38!!
Next we have Debbie. Debbie has also been doing a fantastic job. She comes in every day and does her best. What I really like about Debbie is that she is always striving to improve her form. She will often say "make this one the best one" when she is finishing her last rep of a set. Debbie also improved her time quite nicely. She knocked off over 3 minutes from her first day! It has been fun working with her and I am excited to see her continued progress!
