Working in the fitness industry we meet a lot of people that have been exercising for
years at different facilities and yet they tell me they’re either not happy with their
results (if they get any at all) or they simply get bored and quit. I can’t tell you how
many times I’ve heard this. In fact, this is exactly what Michelle Tracy told me when
she became a member of the MPower family.
Michelle had been working out at another gym 2-3 times a week. She took spinning
classes and sometimes did a little weight lifting. She has other activities outside of
the gym because she likes to be busy. But she just didn’t seem to get enough from
the workouts she was doing, so like many others, she gave MPower Fitness a try.
It’s great to see and listen to the difference in her attitude since becoming a part of
the family.
“I am generally a happy person”, claims Michelle. “ But what has changed is that I
am more focused on a workout and short term goals. My physical appearance and
feelings have improved greatly. “
Michelle is an awesome person who has always been happy go lucky but now she has a
confidence level that has increased her happiness ten-fold. The workouts she gets
with this group and the friends she has made has made a big difference in her life.
Check out what she told me. I just love this.
“I am sure it is not feminine to do, but I ask a lot of my co-workers and family
members to feel my bicep because it has gotten so much stronger”, adds Michelle.
“Their reaction is typically, HOLY SMOKES!”
When I heard this I couldn’t help but smile real big. How can you not? This is great.
Not only has her bicep gotten stronger but so has her self-confidence. And some
people might view this as cockiness. It’s not. It’s a result of hard work, being proud
and wanting to share with those close to her. Plus, lets be honest seeing our muscles
developing is pretty darn cool!
“My overall experience with MPower Fitness has been one of a kind”, states Michelle. “When I
talk to family and friends, I say, I have found my niche for a fitness routine. It only
took 20 years, but I found it.”
Remember I mentioned earlier that Michelle worked out 2-3 times a week. This
is a result of not being motivated and interested in the program. It really isn’t an
issue with time because if you’re enjoying what you’re doing and seeing results it
becomes a part of your daily routine.
“Since joining MPower Fitness , I have really found something that I am so passionate about
that I can do it every day”, adds Michelle. “It’s motivation that gets me through the
day because I know I will be going to boot camp that night.”
“I have gone to so many gyms before. The last one I went to, I bought personal
training sessions. The trainers never remembered my name, they barely tuned
in for the half hour I was there, and they typically said poor things about the
establishment they represented. I am thankful for a place like MPower Fitness . They always
know your name, greet you and create a workout routine that is different and
challenging.”
MPower Fitness members tell me all the time how inspiring we are to them. But they don’t
realize how inspiring they are to us. Seeing people improve not only physically, but
mentally is true inspiration and motivation to us, and Michelle is a great example of
this.
