TESTIMONIAL

I was 275 lbs., in search of help. My wife is an Intero Real estate agent and some of her colleagues go to Body Firm so she had told me numerous times about body firm because she would see Tammy's wed. wellness news letter of course I hesitated because I did not want to give up eating the way I was eating and I was sluggish on moving around and felt tired all the time. I finally put my mind to it and decided to go down and check out and see if Tammy was really going to be able to help me.  

I knew that I had to really open my mind to a new way of eating and with Tammy's knowledge it has really been fantastic and all of the new foods are great.  I knew that I needed a trainer also so Tammy said she had someone special in mind for what I needed, so Tammy told me my first workout date with Michelle. I showed up thinking with how I felt that I was going to have a hard time. But with Michelle's eagerness to help she really put me and my needs at the top priority and since the first time I had met her she really put me at ease with how I felt and with her eagerness to help and her knowledge about physical fitness I really feel good about myself and the workouts that we do. Michelle always has something planned for working out each time I am there. The variety of muscle building and cardio sets that she does are not overwhelming as long as you are open to help yourself, Michelle can help you with your physical fitness. As of

Today, 6 weeks working with this dynamic duo I have lost 25 pounds! Couldn't have done it without them and their continuous support! Looking forward to dropping lot more with their help.
