Peter has a new photo and success story:

I just thought I’d give you an update on my success with the Greco style of living. I’ve adapted very well and easily with my new lifestyle and I believe my update photo will prove that! Since the last photos in May 2009, I have taken three strength classes as well as another 6-pack abs program.

My weight loss to date is 60 lbs and my body fat is now at 10% (down from 30%). I still have goals I want to achieve and I know that I will get there with the help of the program and Brent and Dan. Speaking of which, I cannot talk about my success without mentionning that an important part of it has to be attributed to the great support and encouragement I continue to get from these two guys! Thanks Brent and Dan!

Listen below for details:

I have always considered myself to be an active & fit person. As a child I was in dance, track & field & loved being outdoors. As an adult, I maintained an active lifestyle. I continued to run, hike, cycle, ski cross country & became a dance teacher/choreographer. Over the years, my fitness level remained the same but my energy was down to an all time low. Due to overwork, stress & low energy, it was getting harder & harder for me to fit my exercise regimen into my busy schedule. I became frustrated as well as disappointed with myself. The vicious cycle of not eating right, exercising sporadically & sticking to running or walking as my work outs just wasn’t cutting it for me anymore. My clothes were tight fitting, I lost muscle definition & I wasn’t sleeping well.

I joined Greco Lean & Fit in March of 2009 and thanks to Tony’s Kanata team (and now the Beech street team) I finally feel like myself again. I will always consider myself a work in progress as I strive to become leaner & fitter, I still haven‘t reached my goal. 6 months into this program I lost 20lbs & 7% body fat but the benefits of feeling & looking better far outweighed the numbers on the scale. When I first heard about the Lean & Fit program I must admit that I was sceptical. I thought that the food plan would be impossible for me to follow & that attending class 3 times a week really wouldn’t make that much difference with my current exercise regimen. Although I realized that I had to make lifestyle changes in order to achieve my goals, I had this fear of trying something that was so different for me & contemplate the possibility of failing. I couldn’t have been more wrong. We monitor what we eat carefully with the help & suggestions from the folks at Greco. Our fitness classes complement whatever else we choose to do on our ‘off days’ so I was able to continue running. Whether we run, power walk, cycle, swim or even play hockey, the Lean & Fit exercises strengthens our bodies overall & promote a strong core. This in turn can help prevent injuries while participating in other activities. At Greco schools, we are surrounded by people who motivate us to work hard. Their enthusiasm reinforces ours and nobody drags anybody else down with negativity. When it comes to food & fitness the staff at Greco can only guide & teach us, as knowledge is power.

In the end though, it’s left up to us to follow through as we reap the rewards of consistent hard work. I not only feel better, I sleep better, I manage my time better & have more confidence to tackle the many challenges of running my Bark & Fitz franchises. When Tony says “Hey Lynne you look great!” I reply with “Oh no Tony–I look fabulous!” And I say that with utmost confidence.

Tony Greco is pleased to announce the launch of a new program – Lean & Fit 4 Life - geared towards the 50+ generation.

Happy New Year!

When I joined Greco in February 2009, I was 266 pounds (32.0% Body Fat and 37.1 BMI) with a size 46 waist.  I decided to try Greco Lean and Fit because Eric the Intern from Chez 106 was going to try, and we weighed about the same.  More importantly my daughter had just turned one, and I knew that I had to set a better example for her going forward.

From the beginning, I was very impressed with the format of the Lean and Fit classes, and more importantly with the atmosphere at the Manotick location.  All the staff were very encouraging, as were my fellow Lean and Fit members.  I could tell that Sean really believed that he could help me make the changes in my life that I needed to succeed, and it was very easy for me to buy in to the Greco way. 

The trainers at the Manotick location are phenomenal and second to none.  They really motivate me to put forth my best in each class.  And if and when I do I get a little lazy, they push ever so gently to get me back on track.  And, for some inexplicable reason, I want to try harder and do better for them! 

I also credit my success to date (I am not done yet!) to my fellow Lean and Fit class members.  I am constantly being told how good I am doing, to keep it up, and that I should be proud of myself.  I admittedly love the attention, but more than that, I appreciate the support, and again want to try harder to continue to deserve their support and encouragement.  I always look forward to what familiar faces will be in my class on any given night, and feed off their positivity as best I can.

After 10 months, I now weigh 204 pounds (18.8% Body Fat and 28.5BMI), and I am down to a size 38 waist.  I also officially enjoy jogging, and even completed my first 5K race in September.  My goal was to come in under 30 minutes, and (thanks to all the training on the Hill in the summer!) I ended up finishing in just under 26 minutes.

I know I have a lot of work ahead of me to reach my personal goal of 190 pounds, but I am almost there, and could not get there without the structure the Lean and Fit program provides me.

To Sean and his team, especially Armand, Justin, Richard and Danielle, I say a very hearty thank you.  I will always be grateful for what you’ve helped me achieve.
