February of 2011 was a milestone month in my life. I had recently found out my wife and I were expecting our second child (later to be change to second and third ‘children’), I donated platelets for the first time, and I decided it was time to do something about my fitness level, or lack thereof.
I had heard friends talk about the Greco Lean and Fit program and, having tried to get into shape by myself multiple times in my life with no success, I decided to give Greco a go. When I went for my initial consultation, I was 208 lbs and had almost 30% body fat (considered obese by most charts I have seen).
I was immediately impressed with the knowledge Josh seemed to have and his ability to translate that knowledge into something understandable. I began my journey down the Lean and Fit road a few days later. Lean and Fit, at the beginning, was likely the most difficult undertaking of my life. I had to drastically change my eating habits (I LOVE to eat), and had to force myself to go to ‘the gym’, as my daughter calls it, three time a week. As time went on though, the lifestyle change I had decided to make became second nature. I now make healthier choices in foods without even thinking about it and going to work out is something I look forward to as opposed to dread.
Five months after my initial visit, thanks in large part to the staff and trainers at Greco Barrhaven, I weighed in at 147lbs and about 11% body fat.
Greco Lean and Fit has allowed me to do more than I could ever have imagined, or even thought myself capable of!
