At the age of 43, I found out I was pregnant. It was a joyous moment and the best surprise of my life, however I was high-risk and I was not in the best shape at the time. I ended up gaining an additional 35 pounds during my pregnancy. After my son was born, I couldn’t figure out how to balance work and take care of a baby, let alone find time for myself to exercise. On top of it all, I was going through a
separation and moving back to Pennsylvania. The stress was high and I found comfort in food and drink.
Fast forward a few years; I was settled in my new home and surrounded by family again. I was happier with my situation but not with myself, my health or my eating habits. Now at the age of 47, I needed to figure out how to keep up with a soon-to-be preschooler. I kept saying to myself, “I don’t want my son to be embarrassed by me, the fat mom,” and I certainly did not want to ever pass on doing activities with him because of my weight or health.
I came across IC training’s 21-day challenge. I made an appointment to see Adam, Owner and Founder.
We chatted about the program and the very little time I needed to invest each day to start my journey back to a healthy me. I mean, who can’t do 30 minutes?? Every day is different. I love the variety and not knowing what I will be doing from day to day. In addition, I don’t have to think about what I am going to do, because my amazing trainers are there to guide me every step of the way.
Speaking of the amazing trainers, Adam, Kevin and Anna!! They are motivating, encouraging, caring and non-judgmental. They will always greet you with a smile and then make you work harder than you thought was possible but all within your capabilities. I know they want the absolute best for me and all
the members. They have created a family amongst themselves and everyone that joins. We all feel the
love and encourage each other. I have avoided calling I.C. a gym throughout this testimonial because I think it is more than that. I feel that Adam, along with Kevin and Anna, have created a community. We are all very different but working towards a common goal, supporting each other along the way.
Adam, Kevin and Anna have helped me change the way I look at diet and exercise. It has been a life style change and the best gift to myself and my son. I can’t thank them enough for all their help and encouragement to a healthier and stronger me. The journey is not over and I am grateful I found
I.C.Training or I.C Training found me!
All my life, I’ve been told I am a such a strong person. Well, I am finally feeling like my body is catching up to my spirit! I may have lost 50 pounds, but I’ve gained strength, increased my confidence, added muscle and acquired new friends and joined a community.
