My name is Jaclyn Jerome, I am 51 years old, I have been married for 33 years, I have two boys and two charming grandsons.  The programs at Greco have changed my life and allowed me to go from a size 20 to a size 6.

When I turned 50, I decided it was time to make some significant changes in life.  I knew that it was time to get into shape and to kick all the nasty habits I had acquired over the years (smoking, drinking pepsi and alcohol and eating way too much junk food).  If I was ever going to see my two lovely grandsons grow up to be adults, changes were desperately needed.

When I joined Greco in Jan 2011, I weighed 238 lbs. and my body fat was 46%. Needless to say I was obese!  Given that I had never worked out before, I was very nervous and I didn’t even know what a plank was. I decided to start off with the 10 week Lean and Fit for Life Program at the Kanata location.   With the Greco routine of exercising 3 times a week and changing all my eating habits to clean eating, I immediately started to feel and look great and couldn’t wait for my workout days.  At the end of the 10 weeks I had lost 30 lbs. and 10% body fat and I was very pleased with the results.  In March 2011, feeling quite confident with myself, I was ready to pick up the pace. I signed up for a one year membership and moved to the Lean and Fit Program at the Barrhaven location.  It is now May 2012, I have been doing Greco for a little more than a year and I have lost 80 lbs. and close to 20% body fat.  I now not only know what a plank is, I can actually do push ups for as long as I want and do burpees for a full 45 seconds. I am very proud to say that I am no longer obese, I feel better than I ever have, and I have even managed to give up smoking, drinking and all the junk food.

Thanks Greco and a very special thank you to all the trainers and workers (you know who you are) at both the Kanata and Barrhaven locations. Thank you for seeing me through all these positive life style changes and for all the coaching and words of encouragement along the way.
