Lisa's Results

January, 2010

Lisa signed up for the Commit to Be Fit program in October, 2010, because she "needed something challenging, well put together, and fun, not just some prepackaged fluff, to inspire me."

After her first six weeks, here is what she had to say: "At the end of the first 6 weeks, I had my body stats recorded, and holy wow:  Down 9% body fat, 3" off my hips, 3" off my tummy, 3" off my waist, and 1" off each thigh and arm.  And I lost nearly 20 lbs on top of it all (probably more than that considering all the muscle I have built)  AFTER 6 WEEKS"

She "recommends this class to everyone who wants to take charge of their lives and get healthy and FIT." 

"I FEEL BETTER AT NEARLY 40 THAN I FELT IN MY 20s.   YES I'M SHOUTING.  I CAN'T HELP IT."

Lisa's Yelp Review

10/5/2010

I never thought I'd be reviewing a fitness establishment.   That should tell you a lot about where I was when I started at Fierce Fitness.  

I am a 39 year old woman who hasn't exercised beyond 'brisk walks' in over 20 years.   With rheumatoid arthritis and a 'bionic back' (I'm filled with spare parts and transient bone), it's been really easy to NOT be athletic.   Plus, I usually do not like 'group exercise' classes.   I'm allergic to Aerobics and Step classes.  

But there was something about kickboxing that appealed to my my inner badass, so I had to check it out.   I knew I needed something challenging, well put together, and fun, not just some prepackaged fluff, to inspire me.

I found it.

I signed up for the 6 week (5x a week) Kickboxing Bootcamp.   Talk about diving head first into the deep end!   Hahaha.

I'm only partially through it, but I am in love.  I won't lie, every night, it's a love/hate/love relationship I have with this class.  I am working muscles that have been lying dormant for years.  On days where we're 'working on our core':  What core?  I don't have a core!?!  I'm building one from scratch on pain receptors and pixie dust.  

But I'm telling you what, I'm already feeling the difference.   After a week, on the first day that I had no class scheduled,  I was like, "Um...I should be doing something.  Something's missing."   That quick, this has become a habit.  A GREAT habit.

The bootcamp isn't cheap (and I am), so it was a big commitment for me, but you know what?  Worth it.  SO worth it.  From the super personalized fitness evaluation and nutrition guidance, to the nightly beatings with Candice, I can honestly say it's worth every penny and every drop of sweat.

The workout is hard.  It's intense.  And there's variety to it so you're not doing the same thing every night, which keeps it fun.  And with my hardware filled back and screwy joints, there are still only a couple things I just can't quite do (metal doesn't bend...and if it does, call 911), but there are so many ways to improvise so that you keep moving and keep your heart rate up.  Easy peasy.  Wait, no, not easy peasy.  At all. But you get the idea...I go home every night looking like someone took a hose to me.  

My body, while sore, already feels better, my clothes are already feeling different, and I can't recommend this class enough to everyone who wants to take charge of their lives and get healthy and FIT.  

There are no excuses.   Trust me, I've thought of 'em all.

12/8/2010 - update

Ok, I wrote my first review when I was partially through my first 6 Week Commit to be Fit Bootcamp.   A lot has changed since then. 

One of the things that has NOT changed is my absolute satisfaction with this place!    I can't say enough good things!

At the end of the first 6 weeks, I had my body stats recorded, and holy wow:  Down 9% body fat, 3" off my hips, 3" off my tummy, 3" off my waist, and 1" off each thigh and arm.  And I lost nearly 20 lbs on top of it all (probably more than that considering all the muscle I have built)  AFTER 6 WEEKS!   

6 weeks of kicking my rear 5 times a week and following a super simple nutrition plan based on something crazy - common sense.

I signed up immediately for a second 6 week bootcamp. 

I'm now about half way through my second bootcamp and, while I haven't had my stats taken yet, I know I'm down at least another 10 lbs.    I'm in a size of jeans I haven't worn in nearly 20 years.

I FEEL BETTER AT NEARLY 40 THAN I FELT IN MY 20s.   YES I'M SHOUTING.  I CAN'T HELP IT.

And my arms - I have always hated what I call my 'truck driver arms'.  I mentioned this when they were taking my beginning stats, and Sophia said, "Well maybe we can turn them into your favorite part of your body."   I laughed - yeah RIGHT.    There is no way that's going to happen.

Now I LIKE MY ARMS.   I think that is the most shocking part of all of this since my hatred of my arms was so passionate.  LOL

So I'll say it again - if you're on the fence about this program, don't be.  Go sign up, your body will thank you for it!
