What do you have to lose but some weight?

We spend our days here at Fitcorp trying to convince the 60% of American's who are overweight that joining Fitcorp will make their lives better. They will feel better, look better and be healthier. It is so hard to see people choose an inactive lifestyle over a healthy lifestyle when the benefits of a regular fitness routine are so profoundly beneficial to everyone.
What makes our jobs here have significant meaning is when we hear back that we did "make a difference". It is the gas that keeps our engines going.
I mean we see folks every day making new and better choices with their lives but when it is validated, it is an amazing feeling.
Below is a letter that we received from a member who has tasted her own personal victory and she feels better now because of it.
We want everyone to feel the benefits of a healthier and more active lifestyle. That is why we are offering a once in a lifetime deal. It's our way of helping you get in better shape. Take the plunge at Fitcorp and you too can start feeling better each and every day.

Dear Scott:
As we wind up our Challenge this morning (I'll be there for the weigh-in soon), it seemed the appropriate time to offer some words of praise for Brendon and for the Challenge itself. While my team is finishing last (or, as Brendon in his typically positive way puts it, "tied for third"), and while I didn't lose as much weight as I'd hoped, I'll still come away a winner. Why? Because I'm wearing clothes I haven't been able to wear in 3 years. Because I am sleeping better and have more energy. Because my commitment to getting in peak condition and then staying healthy has been renewed. And because I have learned an amazingly broad range of new ways to work out. All of this is due to Brendon and his Challenge.

I've known Brendon for years now, through my membership at Fitcorp, and I have always liked him and had high regard for him (as I do for all of you who work here at Reservoir Place Fitcorp; your team is exceptional.). However, the experience of going through all these classes with Brendon has given me a new and profound respect for his knowledge, his professionalism, and his ability to inspire. Brendon demonstrated in every class his command of physical conditioning, and his ability to adapt exercises to accommodate individual needs. I am the oldest participant in this project, and I have rotator cuff issues, joint issues and I managed to break a toe in the last week, but Brendon never let my issues slow the class down nor allowed me to slack off. He seamlessly adjusted whatever we were doing (weights, core work, "boot camp", whatever) to make it possible for me to learn, get a good workout and remain a good team member, and he did so without interrupting the flow for the others.

Perhaps most importantly, Brendon has the gift to inspire his pupils. He may be demanding (that's the point of the Challenge, I think), but he is ceaselessly positive, too. He never, ever makes anyone (even me) feel inadequate or foolish, and he is endlessly encouraging, making us feel we actually cando it. And so we do. That's a gift.

The proof of all this is that I (and everyone I've talked to who participated) can't wait for Round Two. We know we're going to learn, that we're going to challenge ourselves, that we're going to be smarter and stronger and healthier, and that regardless of where we place in the contest, we're going to be winners. I'll never be able to adequately thank Brendon for all of that. We-and Fitcorp- are lucky to have him!


Best regards,
Laurie
