When I talk about Escape 2 Fitness with people who don't know the program, I begin with the same story -- about my not having seen inside a gym for over 20 years. Tho my comments are met with laughter, the unfortunate part is that it was true. Not having parttaken in any fitness program caused me a great deal of anxiety and embarrassment, which in turn caused me to continue to avoid the exercise I knew I needed.\r
\r
Once I joined, I didn't commit to buying any new gear (not even shoes) until I lasted a week in the program -- something I was sure I wouldn't do, considering the 6:00 a.m. class and the fear that everyone else in the program HAD seen the inside of a gym within the last 2 decades and was therefore far more fit than I. My fears and anxiety vanished within the first two days, EVEN THO I fell on my bum and tripped over the pajama pants I insisted on wearing until I rode out the week and reached the holy grail of workout clothes.\r
\r
The positive energy of the program keeps me going: the folks who join all have fears, weaknesses, strengths, and days where performance is blah. But, knowing that I'll be supported while getting a MEAN workout is what makes me jump out of bed at that hour; being at the beach and seeing the sunrise during crunches, while most of the city is still asleep, gives the overwhelming feeling of power, commitment, camaraderie, and most importantly, accomplishment. \r

The group becomes a group friends; that's what makes our efforts honest and ongoing. The trainers are fearless in taking on any goal we want to achieve. I have truly been pushed to my limits and have exceeded my expectations in terms of stamina, weight loss, physical health, and overall well-being. \r
