Allison

Allison before trainingI have struggled with my weight since I was 9. By the time I was 29, having tried dozens of diets, 4 different gyms, and a number of exercise programs, I resigned myself to the fact that I would always be the fat kid in the class, that I would never feel comfortable in a swimsuit, and I would definitely never learn to love myself.

Several times in my life I have experienced brief success with weight loss—usually leading up to a special occasion or beach vacation. But my success was always short-lived, and by October 2007 I was at my heaviest ever and could barely look at myself in the mirror. That is when I decided to hire Eric as my trainer.

Allison after trainingWhen I started working out with Eric, "I can't" was a common phrase in my vocabulary. I was never athletic growing up and I had convinced myself that I'd always be that girl in the gym who could only lift the light weights and could only muster 20 minutes of cardio. I remember in my second session with Eric he pointed out that I wasn't sweating. To which I replied, "I don't sweat." I quickly found that I just hadn't been working hard enough. Eric pushed me far beyond what I thought I was capable of. Beyond teaching me how to sweat, he taught me proper form, good nutrition, and how to push myself past my self-imposed limitations. I am now the strongest girl in the gym and I ran my first 10k this year.

In one year, Eric has helped me to change my life. I started on this journey with the hope of losing a few pounds. One year later I am a different person. I am stronger, healthier and happier than I ever thought possible. I could not be prouder of my accomplishments and I could not be more thankful to Eric for helping me to find my inner athlete.
