Buff Bride

Congratulations to Sarah on reaching her goals, feeling fit,strong, healthy and beautiful in her wedding gown.  Hard work, dedication, and the determination of a women on a mission….unstoppable!

In January 2015 I returned to Fitness Funatics after a 10-month hiatus from working out.  At that time my destination wedding in Jamaica was five months away and I needed to loose inches and regain muscle tone and definition fast!

After my first class back I talked to one of their Trainers, Melanie Rodgers, and told her about my fast approaching wedding, I explained that over the holiday season I had gained weight and now my wedding dress did not fit!  Melanie warmly welcomed me back to the gym and confidently said, “Ok, so this is what we’re going to do…you’ll begin personal training twice a week and go to classes, there is time and your dress WILL fit”.  Her caring and compassionate response was exactly what I needed and it made me feel confident that in five month my wedding dress would be a perfect fit again. So armed with a plan and the belief that I would reach my goal, I began personal training twice a week and going to classes. Melanie customized my personal training workouts to target the areas I needed. Her positive energy is infectious and my worry about my wedding dress quickly turned into drive to reach my goal.  The workouts were awesome and never routine, she always had something new for me to do, even the burpies were always different…I never knew there was so many ways to do burpies!

As my fitness level improved I found myself looking forward to personal training and group classes.  The classes are amazing! There is enough variety to choose from that you can really change up your workouts.  On my best weeks I was working out five days a week and over the following five months the results came.  Not only did my wedding dress end up fitting perfectly, I exceeded my goal and felt confident in a bathing suit during our week in Jamaica.  Now my wedding is over and my goal is accomplished, but I’m not stopping! I feel so great about my improved fitness that I am keeping up with the personal training and classes and look forward to my workouts.

Hugs and THANK YOU to Melanie Rodger and Fitness Funatics! Shelley has created a truly special place. The staff are skilled professionals and together they create an atmosphere that is fun, challenging, positive and motivating.
