I am 57 years old and until age 45 never had a weight problem. In January of 2007, I was tipping the scale at 210 pounds, my cholesterol was skyrocketing, my sugar levels were unsatisfactory, and my dress size 18 was beginning to feel tight. After a very depressing meeting with my physician it was clear I had to do something about my weight problem.Initially, I started a diet program and lost some weight;However, it was not enough and I was becoming desperate. I had tried almost everything, and was running out of options. Although still dieting I had stopped losing weight and my cloths were still very uncomfortable. My doctor had told me to lose weight,but not how successful weight loss is accomplished. It was time to find a personal trainer. My search began on the internet when miraculously up popped Rivak Hoffman on my computer screen. I had known Rivak when he was working as a Medical Researcher at UC Shiley Eye Center but had not spoken to him for years. I knew he was an honest hardworking individual. He was always driven to do his best, and is a person who never backed down from a challenge. It was at that moment I decided I was going to be his next challenge. If anyone was able to help me through this difficult stage of my life he would. In our initial consultation and fitness assessment, Rivak's calculations confirmed I was in the ""clinically obese"" category. We discussed a training program that worked for me, and I began my new lifestyle of combining diet, resistance training and cardiovascular exercise. I have been working with Rivak for 1 year and have lost 45 pounds, decreased my bad cholesterol by 20 points, and best of all am now wearing a size 12 dress! I feel great and my friends say I look wonderful. Thank you Rivak for helping me meet my first weight loss goal!
Pros: Nice honest and hard working guy
Cons: Nothing
