A 49-year old woman had tried many diets and workouts over the years with little success in losing weight. She was recommended to try FitStudios by a coworker. She met with a trainer, Ashlea Lips, with a goal to lose 10 pounds in 3 months before a holiday. Ashlea designed a routine that the woman enjoyed and provided dietary tips. Though she did not see weight loss at first, her clothes fit better. Near Christmas she saw a big drop, and continued losing weight through the holidays despite some setbacks. In total she lost 12 pounds, exceeding her goal, and has kept it off since thanks to the tools Ashlea taught her.

1. I was recommended to try out FitStudios by a coworker after they watched me try to loose weight with no success for a couple of years. I am a 49 year old woman who has tried many things in the past to loose weight; I joined a gym with a personal trainer, I joined Weight Watchers, I purchased work out DVD’s that made promises of weight lose in 30 days, and tried many diets and cleanses with little to no success. I went to see Adam Theodorou and Ashlea Lips for a counsel session to let them know of my goal and if they could help. My goal was to loose 10 lbs in 3 months because the motivation for me was a 2 week holiday down south and I wanted to feel good in a bathing suit. Ashlea took the challenge. I started in November 2009 as my holiday was set for the end of January 2010. That gave us 3 months! Ashlea was great. She started me off with a routine that felt good for me. I was sore at the beginning which was to be expected because I used muscles that have not been worked in a long time if ever. I was eating right but through our discussions I picked up some pointers and cut down the portions size of my meals. I also increased my super foods that promote weight lose. At first I did not see the weight come off but I did notice that my clothes felt better on me then they had in awhile. I felt better, slept better and looked forward to the work outs. Then just before Christmas I saw a big drop in weight on the scale. I was extremely excited. Ashlea continued training and was well prepared for the sessions. She continually brought new routines and work outs for not only the variety but to work all parts of my body. Even though I had to deal with Christmas, a mini get-a-way over the holidays and putting my back out so I could not work out for a bit; I was still loosing the weight and became more toned. Just before my holidays, my weight dropped again. I can’t express how happy I was going on my holidays. I lost 12 lbs! 2 lbs more then my goal! I feel great and was taught the tools to continue while I was away so I did not put the weight back on. It worked. 1 month after my return and I am keeping the weight off thanks to Ashlea!
