Ranch Members Shine with Success...
When asked to what she attributes her success, Elizabeth beams with a big smile as if to reveal that she has discovered a secret; and she is quick to share that the ‘tools’ she has adopted have been instrumental in keeping her focused and on track. The most important of those tools being a structured nutrition program and regular physical activity. Elizabeth says that for her “the fitness classes are like having a personal trainer for free!” Along with the professional instruction, she attends classes for the social camaraderie and positive attitudes of her fellow class mates. Elizabeth’s dramatic ‘before and after’ photos are a testament to making healthy lifestyle changes that will help you look and feel like a new person. Way to go, Elizabeth! We look forward to seeing you in our group fitness classes.
Michelle attributes her sustained success to her very supportive husband who helps with meal planning and her participation in the evening H2O Fit classes at The Ranch. Michelle noted that if it were not for the Ranch pool, she would have had to suspend her exercise which could have delayed her weight loss. The Ranch’s warm water pool enabled her to continue her workouts despite a knee injury. Michelle says, “The walking pool was a huge help in my weight loss and I could not have lost what I did without it. There are many exercises I could not have done on land, but now can do in water.” She noted that the Ranch staff has been very supportive and always has positive and encouraging words to share. Michelle admits honestly to hitting the dreaded weight loss plateaus but adds, “the most important thing to do was push through and realize that weight loss is not a short term goal, but a lifestyle change.” Michelle makes an important point and notes that you should not focus only on the scale but things like having more energy and noticing that clothes are fitting looser. I love how Michelle calls these “non-scale goals” and made mention that they were important to her overall motivation in the long term. Michelle’s advice is to have a good support system, take one day at a time and to remember that you won’t find success if you don’t persevere. She notes that there will be good days and bad days but you have to push through. In conclusion Michelle has some very wise words to share: “No matter what size you are, you are able to achieve whatever you put your mind to, and never say never. I am thankful for The Ranch because I have been in many gyms over many years, but this gym has actually changed my life. I could have never done it without them.” If you are seeking some guidance and support for your personal weight loss goal,you may want to participate in The Ranch Fitness Center’s upcoming 6-week ‘Get Fit Weight Loss Challenge’ October 5th through November 16th. This program is based on weekly weigh-ins and support group meetings led by a personal trainer. We give you the “tools” Elizabeth mentioned in her weight loss story and help you to “persevere” as Michelle described. To sign up, stop by the front desk. The cost for the entire 6 weeks is only $20 and the money collected will be awarded to the winner of the challenge! The winner is the person who loses the greatest percentage of body weight during the 6 weeks. For more information, call 854-8707 ext. 7532. Click here for the latest fitness schedule. |
