“I stayed home and raised our beautiful children for nearly 8 years. As the years went by, I began to notice I had let my health slip away as well. I was tipping the scale at 275lbs and couldn’t even play with my kids on the floor because it was so hard to get back up. After having our final baby, I decided to make a complete lifestyle change. I began walking, and then group fitness classes, and eventually some weight training.

When I came to ASK, I still had about 60 more pounds to lose. That is where I fell in love with Crossfit, began my journey to get my 200hr RYT Yoga Certification, and began doing some personal training with Samantha! ASK immediately became a second home for me. With the nutrition advice and encouragement from the staff and members at ASK, I am down 105lbs and still am working toward more goals and milestones!”

“The pictures show is a difference of about 65lbs and 18 months. The picture on the left is me at about 310-315lbs and the pictures on the right are me at my current weight of 250lbs. I was expected to maintain a certain weight due to sports but once that came to an end I realized I could no longer justify carrying around that much weight nor did I want to.

This is also around the time that I began to help with the kinetics program at ASK and knew I needed to make a change if I wanted to be taken seriously in the field that I was going to school for being fitness. There was no magic pill, special workout routine, or secret powder that got me to this point. This was a lot of hard work and self sacrifice but gave me credibility with the clients that I know serve and gives proof that it is possible. It’s never easy making a lifestyle change like this but at ASK we get you going in the right direction.”
