I had been working out on my own for 12 years, thought I was eating OK, and was resigned that my body was ‘stuck’, and would never change that much.

Wow, was I wrong! My husband and I had recently moved to Stone Oak, and he accidentally stumbled upon an Iron Fit class just finishing up. He noticed the smiles and sweat, family-like atmosphere and was introduced to Erik by the class. We came back later in the day, and Erik patiently answered all of our questions and invited me to try Iron Fit Circuit Training for 3 days. Erik worked with me, and suggested alternate exercises as my body adjusted to the Iron Fit training and intensity. …

Before joining Iron Fit, I had not been exercising for about a year and feeling a lack of energy and generally down about my appearance. My wife suggested going with her to Iron Fit Circuit Training and I was very skeptical at first because my time is precious and group exercise classes that I had attended in the past were not very challenging. I was in the class for maybe a week before we started the 12 week challenge. That got my attention.

From my past, I knew how to work out but I did not know how to control my diet to be healthy and control my weight. Erik helped educate my wife and I on what ratios of protein, fat and carbs we should have at each meal. This completely changed the way I viewed eating and I committed to the program. I find the workouts at Iron Fit to be intense, tough, and challenging and push myself harder than I would on my own.

The Iron Fit family is supportive and highly motivating, which helped drive me to lose 34 pounds in 12 weeks. Eating healthy and regular exercise is now a lifestyle for me and I would not have done it without the 12 week challenge at Iron Fit. I find myself more energetic and productive in my daily life. Thanks Iron Fit for the education, comradery, and great experience.

First, need to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Erik Guerra for all the support, guidance and knowledge he has passed on to me over the past few years.

Joining Iron Fit is one of the best investments I have ever made towards my health. Before Iron Fit, I knew very little about exercising, minimal experience in any gym, poor lifting techniques and my nutritional intake was not the greatest. I was ready for a change but was nervous about joining a new gym. Glad I decided to step inside Iron Fit and give it a shot. Amazing just how impactful a gym like Iron Fit can have on someone’s life. …

I’ve trained with Erik for almost 5 years now. I’ve followed him from gym to gym and when he finally took the plunge and opened up Iron Fit Circuit Training at Stone Oak, I immediately joined! Erik’s always been a great trainer, but since venturing out with his own gym and being able to utilize his own methodology of instruction, I have seen fantastic results!

Before Iron Fit, I trained on a pretty regular basis but never ever really took it to that next level. With Erik, I’ve been able to do just that! I began training 5-6 days a week, always setting a goal to achieve whether it be participation in an obstacle course race or some other event, I found it becoming easy to push myself with Erik’s guidance! …

Before training at Iron Fit Circuit Training I was working out at Gold’s Gym doing my own workouts. I was always into fitness and running but just tried doing it on my own. Years ago I even hired a trainer to help me figure out what workouts would work for my body. But I just wasn’t seeing the results I wanted . I needed something more and started searching.

I was on Groupon one day and saw iron fit gym being advertised so I looked at the description of the gym and figure “hey why not give it a try for 30 days to see how I like it”. After those 30 days were up, I wanted more. I decided to sign up to keep these workouts consistently going. …

I have always struggled with my weight (who hasn’t right?) I was a chubby kid starting at around the second grade and it stuck. But aside from that I have always struggled with my body image, which I’ve discovered plays a huge role in how I’ve managed my weight. No one ever taught me to love my body the way it was or for what it was. So I chased the “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” motto from about the time I turned 12 and hit middle school to about late 2012. I must’ve done and tried everything under the sun: Fad diets, diet pills to basically starving myself. …

Long before I thought about joining Iron Fit Circuit Training, I had always been a bit skeptical of circuit training, HIIT Classes, or Crossfit. It was a scary thought because I was out of shape and self-conscious about my weight at 296 lbs. Life was sluggish to say the least. Being overweight, I had knee pain, foot pain, back pain, etc. With all of my physical issues, I didn’t think I could keep up with the rest of the class so I just avoided it.

After numerous discussions, a close friend and longtime Iron Fit member finally persuaded me to give it a try. In November of 2015, I went to my first class. I was immediately welcomed into the Iron Fit family by the members and by the owner Erik Guerra. Erik worked with me individually and made sure that my form was correct and that I stayed focused for my entire workout. He made sure that I would feel successful. I continue to feel successful to this day, even with a dramatic increase in the level of my athleticism. Erik continues to push me to higher levels on a daily basis. I am officially addicted to his program. I couldn’t have been as successful without Erik’s support. His tenacity makes me want to come back day in and day out. In these past five months, I have lost a total of 43 pounds. I feel absolutely fantastic! My only regret is that I didn’t join Iron Fit sooner.
