7 months after having my baby and separating from the military I was in the worst shape of my life! My husband left for training and would be gone for six months, I had nothing to do but go to school and take care of our little one. So I decided it was about time to not get back into my pre-pregnancy physique but better, my basic training body. And visiting my husband in Florida in 5 months was a big motivator.
I looked around town and talked to a few trainers already before I met with Dan and Anne. The ones at 24 Hr Fitness seemed too pre-occupied with something else whenever I saw them training people and the rest that I've met with were okay. But as soon as I walked into Body Symmetry it was different from all the other places I've gone to. They made me feel comfortable right off the bat. It didn't feel like they were just trying to sell me something, it felt like they really cared and wanted the best for me.
All of their trainers have a Bachelor's degree from accredited colleges, so you'll be working with someone who took the time to learn instead of someone who took a test over the internet and tada, they became personal trainers. I signed up with them for two months and those two months were incredible! I train with Anne and she is PHENOMENAL! I can't say enough good things about her. She challenges and pushes me every time. Not only that, she taught me how to change my eating habits and how to eat clean (your diet is really 80% of losing weight). 2 1/2 months later, after following everything she's taught me, I am 20 lbs lighter, went from a size 12 to a size 6 and have lost 5% body fat. I signed up for 30 more sessions with Anne without hesitation.
If you're ever in need of a personal trainer, Body Symmetry is definitely worth checking out.
