J. McGraw wanted to be healthier, and the Wellness center is close to his home with a diverse array of equipment.
His biggest struggle was trying to establish a routine without enough experienced to know which exercises to do or how to do them. He’d often stall out on previous attempts to get in shape after hurting himself or just overworking a single muscle group.
“I felt like if I was going to put in resources then it would be easier to stick with it. It’s easier for me to stick with it when I can put numbers in cost/benefit columns. After about 9 months of consistently coming in after the reopening, I’ve successfully established a routine because I’m not asking myself ‘should I go in today?’ and instead thinking ‘why shouldn’t I go in today?’,” said J. McGraw.
What keeps J. McGraw coming back is a combination of everything with the greatest benefit being personal training, center cleanliness and the wonderful staff.
“I think the personal trainer service is excellent. Each and every trainer I’ve worked with (Lauren, Mandy, Christian, Paige, and Chris) has been friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They’ve consistently helped me set realistic goals, reach those goals, then push past those limits. When I come in by myself the other people and services are all useful. The front staff are friendly, remember my name, and help me schedule the optional services I use. The maintenance personnel keep the locker room clean. The equipment is kept operational and in good shape.”
J. McGraw is in much better shape overall by adding working out into his daily routine. He used to do a 5k for his cardio and now he’s up to 10k in the same time frame.
“I’ve consistently doubled the various weight limits I work with. That’s added up to about a hundred pounds lost and wearing medium sized clothing. There’s a nice peace of mind for me in knowing the difference in what I can do physically. The day-to-day benefits to my stamina are great. I can do things like exhaust my German Shepard on walks and take care of yard work in one stretch. The thing I’m most optimistic about though is how putting in the effort now will keep me healthier in the future.”
