Chris came to Focus Fitness after riding the roller coaster of fitness and nutrition for the past decade. His weight had fluctuated as much as 55lbs and he was inconsistent with his diet and nutrition. He primarily worked out on his own, running, doing bodyweight exercises, and yoga without any kind of program. He got results but says, “I found it difficult to keep up the momentum, especially during periods where I was feeling depressed or unmotivated.”
Chris was referred by his friend, Paymahn, who recommended trying us for our tailored plan designed to help him achieve his goals. Chris says his favorite part about Focus Fitness is, “the attentive and iterative nature of the program. Dave and his team really know me – my capabilities, my shortcomings, my injuries, and my ambitions. My goals are constantly evolving and the program adapts to help me accomplish them.” Since starting with us eight months ago, he has lost 23 lbs, gained at least 5 lbs of muscle, dropped 8% body fat, and increased his overall strength significantly. Most importantly, “I feel better! My self-esteem has improved and my general happiness is better and more consistent than before.”
A big challenge Chris has overcome is, “breaking the perceived barrier on my ability to lose weight and regain control of my fitness. This feeling of control, the idea that I have agency over my own health and wellbeing has fueled other healthy habits in my life. I’m eating better and drinking less. I’m less daunted by the idea of changing other habits and compulsions. I’m more confident; I feel capable and I’m proud of that. I carry that pride with me in everything I do which has a positive impact on my overall happiness.”
“The people are the biggest differentiator,” Chris says when asked about the uniqueness of Focus Fitness. “I like the entire staff a lot. Not just because they’re good people, but because they’re intelligent and passionate and they’re genuinely invested in helping me achieve my goals in realistic and measurable ways. It’s amazing what you can do when you have access to a customized program and knowledgeable professionals who are committed to your success. If you’re ready to make the commitment, you should give Focus Fitness a try. You will get results.”
