Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 RE: Faster Fitness Experience

Dear Faster Fitness:

I would like to take this opportunity to share the positive impact that Faster Fitness, JP, and Travis have had on my life.

I moved to the Mt. Pleasant area just over a year ago. Before moving, several significant areas of my life had changed (job changes, relationship changes, moves) and I found it very difficult to control the stress that I was experiencing. As a result, I gained approximately 15 - 20 pounds in the several months before my move and some weight gain after I moved. Of course, from this change, I developed low self esteem, poor self-image and an insecurity that I had never experienced before. Combining that with moving to an area knowing only one person, my move here was tougher than I had ever imagined it would be.

Coming from a background in competitive swimming, working out two to three hours a day since I was five years old, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had never been "out of shape" before. For a brief period of time after moving to this area I tried to get myself motivated to get back in shape but found it much more difficult than I had anticipated. A client of mine had shared some of his experience with Faster Fitness so I decided to call and set up an initial visit.

At the visit, Chris had discussed the goals of Faster Fitness with me. We also took measurements of my body. Although knowing I had gained weight, it is never quite as humbling as actually seeing the changes on paper. (I would soon find that these measurements would give me the strength to keep going with my workouts and especially my eating habits and re-motivate me towards my ultimate goals!) Then, we discussed fees. My initial response was "No way". However, Chris gave me a moment to think about what I wanted to do. All I could think was that I would spend money on frivolous, material objects without a second thought but I was quick to say I would NOT make an investment on my life, my future, my health?! That is how I made the decision on changing my life; as an investment in ME.

I must say I looked forward to my sessions at Faster Fitness- the motivation and support that I received was incredible and starting my day with a quick, intense workout filled me with plenty of energy for the rest of the day. These sessions also taught me how to change some lifestyle habits in order to work towards

a healthier me.

Since being at Faster Fitness, my life has changed significantly. I have developed a new base of friends, started my own business, have a healthier, happier lifestyle and am finally enjoying the move I had looked forward to making!

Choosing to join Faster Fitness was one of the most important decisions I have made in quite a long time.

My experience has helped me move forward in my life and make decisions I am sure would not have been made if I hadn't finally taken control. I approach my daily life with more confidence and happiness.

Thank you Faster Fitness, especially J.P. and Travis, for changing my life. You have taught me so much in keeping me healthy and happy!

Sincerely,

Jen Bierbower
