How did the Orange Shoe Gym staff help you set your goal?
By listening to me and assessing my physical status.

What type of fitness program did you follow?
My personal training sessions began with an alignment correction - the fact that my right foot was turning out. My trainer "reset" my muscles and gave me very simple, but effective corrective exercises to do. In three months, I lost 35 lbs. and continue to lose weight. I have never belonged to a gym in my life, nor have I ever done exercise like this. My body is changing as well as my energy and spirit. The staff at Orange Shoe is a unique group of individuals who all make me feel glad to be there. They are kind, caring, involved, extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun! I don't think I would have accomplished what I have so far if it wasn't for them. They truly are unbelievable.

How long did it take you to achieve your goal?
My goals are far reaching (4 years and beyond), however, losing weight, getting in shape and making exercise part of my daily routine are my primary goals. The weight started falling off in about 3 weeks, and continues to do so. Getting in shape I have just begun, but my endurance and strength are so different than when I started it is great. I can do things now that I wouldn't even attempt when I started.

What was the most challenging part of achieving your goal?
Being patient. I had a hard time getting there the first time. I was worried about the usual stuff, spandex, being the only overweight, out of shape person there, etc. I felt comfortable right away and appreciate the efforts of the staff to make me feel that way.

How did Orange Shoe Gym help?
They are VERY supportive, encouraging and fun. Their knowledge of our bodies is incredible and I have learned a lot from them. Their support is outstanding and each person is enjoyable, interesting and helpful.

How has your life changed as a result of working at Orange Shoe Gym?
I am happier, I have more energy and I feel good about my inner and outer self. My life is fuller just by knowing these outstanding individuals and the people that I have met and work out with.

What is your current goal and how are you working to achieve it?
I want to continue losing weight and getting in shape. I am working on some corrective exercises for things I didn't even know were wrong with me and they make such a difference. I believe the skills and knowledge of the trainers available at Orange Shoe support me with all that I want to achieve. They have a winning combination for mind, body and spirit.

What has been your favorite part about working out at Orange Shoe Gym?
The amazing staff and meeting other clients with the same determination and goals as me.

Why would you recommend Orange Shoe Gym to others?
The staff is incredible. You will find that from the time you walk in the front door. Each and every person there helps make your experience a success, fun and educational. The idea of focusing on core strength & functional movement make this an invaluable workout and habit for everyone. I continually refer people to Orange Shoe and share what I have learned. Friends and family are amazed with the knowledge I have gained and of course how different I look. They say it isn't just the weight, but I have a "glow" about me!
