I am a breast cancer survivor and I have Multiple Sclerosis. Following an extensive procedure and a slow recovery I started training with Fit Camp in April 2013 with one simple goal… to lose 25 pounds. I had no idea that weight loss, which was successful by the way, would be the least impressive aspect of my Fit Camp experience.
I have been working out with my trainer, Mikey, for a year now and, yes, I lost the 25 pounds*, but that isn’t the half of it. What I gained from the Fit Camp experience has been even more impressive and empowering. Since working out with Fit Camp, my yearly MRI showed no progression of my MS.* None! When I met with my doctor he was astonished and attributed this advance to my thoughtful and effective exercise regimen with Fit Camp. While you cannot reverse MS, you can reverse the symptoms, but only with exercise!* I have been asked to share these results with MS patients to inspire others to use exercise to combat the symptoms of MS.*
I am not a “natural” exerciser and I don’t frequent the gym. I was reluctant to try working out with a trainer because I thought it would be him against me, and when I couldn’t perform, there would be shame. I was the model for workout anxiety. But my experience at Fit Camp couldn’t have been more different than this. Mikey and I are a team, we share the same goal, and we celebrate the successes together and rethink things when needed. Mikey’s motto is “tomorrow is a new day” and I feel like I’m in complete control of my life, my health and my happiness. I can’t even imagine not having Fit Camp as a routine part of my new and happy life.” *
