    “My body fat came down 7% and is continuing to decrease.”

    Back in January, I decided I needed to change my workouts and what I had been doing. I had been training with a personal trainer 3 days a week for almost a year. I had hit a plateau and was not seeing any results. I was not happy with what I saw in the mirror.

    Having been a college soccer player and wanting to get back into that kind of shape, I saw an advertisement for Habitat health and fitness. I had nothing to lose and decided to try the week trial. After the first day, I realized how different Boot camp was from my previous workouts.

    After a week, I was already seeing great results and signed up to continue. After encouragement from a friend I decided to sign up for the 6 week body transformation challenge. I couldn’t be happier that I did! The weight that I put on in the last 5 years that I felt I could never lose came off in 6 weeks. Since starting at Habitat Health and fitness, I have lost 13 pounds.

    Not only did the pounds come off, but most importantly, my body fat came down 7% and is continuing to decrease. It has made me realize that I really can get back to being in playing shape again. My fitness has greatly increased. I have been able to start running again after more than a year and it feels great. I have so much more energy and can’t believe how great I feel. I am starting to regain my confidence and my husband cannot be happier about the changes he has seen in me.

    I love the format of the workouts at Boot camp. The interval training gives a tough and effective workout in a minimum amount of time. The group setting is awesome, there is always great encouragement and competition. From someone who has played competitively, this atmosphere has given me what I needed in a workout routine.

    I get excited every day to go to Bootcamp and see what Brandon has in store for the workout. For anyone who wants to get in shape and feel great and have fun while doing it, Habitat is the place to be.

    “I used to always look like I was 6 months pregnant!”

    Where do I even begin, My name is Tracy and I have FINALLY found the answer to lasting weight loss, improved health and an increase in self esteem. For over half of my life I have been on EVERY diet known to man (Atkins x4, Weight Watchers x5, Protein Power, Medi Weight Loss, Medifast, Nutrisystem x2, Jenny Craig, The 3 Hour diet, Suzanne Somers, Slim Fast and the list could go on and on).

    I have lost and gained the same 30 pounds over and over. Each time was harder to lose and easier to gain back.I admittedly am addicted to infomercials and own every Exercise DVD that is sold at 2 in the morning. I also own the worlds most expensive keychain…A Golds Gym membership key tag. All the diets, exercise DVD’s and  quick fixes have only made me appreciate Brandon  and Habitat Fitness even more. They all lacked the perfect combination of diet and exercise. At Habitat Fitness, Brandon has taken the guess work out of turning your body into a fat burning machine.Each day is a different workout, which means your body doesn’t know what to expect…..I found my entire body getting stronger from the very first week and my waist especially started shrinking.

    I will not say the workouts are “easy” and you won’t hear me say they are “fun.” What I will say is the workouts can be done by ANY AGE, ANY SIZE, and ANY FITNESS LEVEL. Brandon keeps you in good form and adjusts the intensity for you. He really cares about your health. He has been there for me every step of the way.When I first started I could barely do any of the exercises.Now I challenge myself to do better than the last workout. I used to get short of breath going up one flight of stairs and considered lunges a four letter word.

    Now I have energy and strength like never before.My self esteem had really suffered through the years and when I started this challenge I wouldn’t let my face be in the photo because I was so ashamed of the way I looked. While I am not at my goal weight yet, this 6 week challenge has given me better results than anything I have ever done. Now with Habitat Fitness I am on my way to becoming  more fit and healthy than I have ever been. Thank you Brandon for giving me my life back!

    “I lost 16 pounds in only 6 weeks!”

    2010 was the most difficult year of my life. Among a long list of other setbacks, my husband lost the job that he loved and was unemployed for several months; my dad fought a year-long battle with cancer; and on December 12, 2010 my Sergeant and friend, was killed in a freak crash while doing a traffic stop. We were both on duty that day, and although I was by his side, I was helpless to do anything to save him. Afterwards I was left to wade through the emotions that come along with losing a friend and mentor, someone who I’d relied on and looked to for support, so suddenly and tragically.

    My personal defeats and disappointments were frequent and steady, and I turned to alcohol to numb my pain and erase my life, a little bit at a time. I rang in the New Year as an unhealthy, unhappy shell of a person… in a downward spiral.

    I actually stumbled upon Habitat Health and Fitness and figured I had nothing to lose, other than a few pounds. I wandered into my first day of boot camp not knowing what to expect, and got my world rocked. I found myself in a completely foreign environment; one that revolved around teamwork, support, encouragement and strength. After surviving the first two weeks of boot camp and regaining the use of my arms and legs, I looked forward to every workout, which provided me with the structure I so desperately needed, and a short term goal to reach every single day.

    The physical transformation that I’ve experienced in my time at Habitat is simply a bonus. My personal milestones and the invaluable friendships I’ve gained along the way are what have moved me and motivated me.

    I know that every time I walk through the door, I’m going to be met by a dedicated trainer who I trust, and a group of boot campers who won’t let the person standing next to them fail. To me that is the picture of a family, who without even knowing it, saw me through my darkest hour. That is absolutely priceless, and my thankfulness is without words.
