After my husband’s mom and dad passed away in their early 60’s and my own
mom in her 40’s all from sickness I knew I had some hard choices to make.
I knew I was out of shape and I didn’t eat right and I had to do something
about it. No more fast and easy in my life. I knew it was time for change!
I had a friend come into where I work and she told me of this knew boot
camp class that she had started going to so I thought good I will go see
what it was all about and of course I took another friend with me because
she wanted to get in shape too. Good then I will not be alone at class. That
was at the end of May beginning of June 2011.
That is when I met Drew from True Form it was a love hate relationship
from the start. He loved telling me what to do and I hated him for telling me
what to do but I kept on going because I wanted to get in shape. So I went
to the classes until August when my holidays started then I thought I would
go back in September.
So after a month off I started back going to classes not very serious but
going. My friends were not going anymore I felt very alone. Then I got an
injury just after I went back so I was down for a couple more weeks then
it was hit or miss making it to classes so I decided to get Drew to do personal
training with me in a nice warm gym, because it was getting cold outside
and that is where the classes were.
In October I went to the doctor for a physical before starting with Drew.
The doctor looked at me and asked if I exercised then he said I had high
salt and cholesterol. I just said that I am starting with a trainer he said
“that’s good” . With that I knew I had to get really serious!
So I did with Drew’s help, encouragement and being accountable for what
I put in my body. He worked with me and I have done a lot of things that I
never thought I would ever do in my life like the CLC Mud Run (can’t wait till
this years.) This year I also got my best friend going to classes now he will
be doing the mud run also.
Now it has been over a year and a half with True Form and I have lost
17 lbs and 7 clothe sizes and my doctor said that I don’t have high
cholesterol or salt now. It has been a long and hard road but it has been
well worth it. I could not have done it without True Form and the other
people in this class that make it enjoyable to go. Thank you all so much and
a special Thanks To Drew for starting up True Form classes in Didsbury.
