I started training at Greco Kanata in September of 2010 weighing 128 lbs. with a body fat percentage of 24%.  I was unhappy with the way I  looked and had low energy and very little strength.  I had tried a few  other gyms, but lacked the self motivation to get any results from them.  I  started with the Lean and Fit classes and from them, I got down to 116lbs and  15% body fat after a few months.  I then started some personal training  with Matt Sicoli and lost a further 8lbs. and down to 12% body fat, with a lot more  muscle definition.  It’s been a huge change for me as far as energy and  strength…when I started I could not do even one push up from my feet.  On  Halloween at the Kanata Greco there was a push up competition after the class  and I did 73 in a row…huge difference in strength!

I joined Greco towards the end of December 2009/ January 2010. The motive had been to lose all the weight (~ 60 lbs) I had gained the past 2 years and lead a healthier lifestyle; I had been battling severe degenerated herniated discs in my back. Within few weeks I realized that the Lean & Fit Program is effective, but more so when I consciously altered my eating habits and substituted the ‘bad’ snacks with healthier choices. The weight came off noticeably. In the summer of 2011, I took on a new challenge and started ‘Personal Training’ with Jake Wright. We had 1 goal in mind: core strength to protect the herniated discs. Within 2 months I saw unbelievable results: a muscle fort surrounding my core. Now Jake is helping me build upper body strengths and muscle form. While Lean & Fit changed my life, PT with Jake redefined it. This young man knows what he is doing.

End results: lost 14% body fat, have not had back pain in over 1.5 years, leading a happier lifestyle, and through this journey made great friends at Greco Kanata. Now it is my lifestyle- and I chose it smartly and happily.
