With a personal goal to get back under 220 lbs, Brian is well on his way to becoming the competitive athlete he once was. But don’t take our word for it, hear it from the big guy himself:
Q: How long have you been with CS&C & what made you decide to hire a trainer?
A: I have been with CS&C for about 6 weeks now. I decided to hire a trainer because I was unhappy with my health and appearance. After several unsuccessful attempts trying to do it myself, I realized I needed help.
Q: What’s your biggest accomplishment thus far?
A: Losing just under 25 pounds in 6 weeks.
Q: How has your training in the gym affected other facets of your life?
A: I just feel better about myself. The satisfaction of doing something about my health, and the pride I’ve gotten from seeing results. It has helped me have a more positive outlook. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Q: Your advice to others interested in training at CS&C?
A: Do it. I always looked at the price of training and thought it was too expensive, and that I could do it on my own. Well, after a few years of not making any progress or getting anything accomplished, I bit the bullet.
Now I wish I hadn’t been so short sighted for so long. We’re talking about your long-term health and longevity. You can save all the money in the world, but you won’t enjoy it if you’re not here to spend it. Invest in yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
All of us here at Capital Strength & Conditioning are very proud of Brian’s progress so far! He’s on the right path to achieve his weight loss goals to get down to 220lbs and be stronger than ever.
