February 2007, we decided that a change was needed in our lives, we were in a rut. Not only that but Mike was recovering from a ruptured achilles tenden which laid him up for four months resulting in him hitting his highest weight. We wanted to get in shape together but we needed to find an activity that would interest us both. We had heard about Shelley's kickboxing classes and thought we would look into it. We went to the studio one afternoon and talked to Shelley and she immediately put gloves and sheilds on us and taught us some basic punches, we were hooked! We had found an activity for us to spend time doing as a couple and to better our overall health. The atmosphere of the gym and the attitude of the trainers is inspiring and contagious. Corrine pushes us to challenge ourselves to achieve our goals in kickboxing and Shelley makes sure we have the proper form during weight training classes. After two months of kickboxing and eating well, we were seeing great results. Not only had we lost weight but we felt much more energetic, positive and closer as a couple. We felt the drive to achieve more, Shelley and Corrine helped us to set a new goal of running the Huron Shores 10km run in June. We thought we would be happy making 5km but by race day, we easily ran 10km! We couldn't have done it without the encouragement of the trainers or the clients at Fitness Funatic. We look forward to going to classes and remaining in shape for a long and healthy life.
