Life Changig I've become much more comfortable in my new body. Having turned 50 and losing the weight at the same time was an adjustment. I was afraid of looking older without my plump face. I didn't want to look like one of the little old ladies that I see all the time at my gym.
I don't feel that way anymore. I let the chubby person go and I never want to feel or look that way again.I've gained so much more definition. My entire life, my back was a slab of fat. I'm actually seeing the muscles! I always liked my legs but now,it is weird to not have the extra fat on my thighs and they don't rub most of the time! I love my arms and the flab is actually going away.Shaving under my arms is different! I could probably wear sleeveless tops and look way better then a lot of people but I'm not 100% there yet. My favorite is my collarbones! I feel like that is my badge of honor. I always had a thick neck. necklaces actually hang different on me. You have the same collarbones. I feel like it's a sign of a fit person!
Last is my stomach. On my first session, I told you it was hereditary and nothing could be done! Boy, did you know otherwise! My stomach is still my biggest focus. It's my barometer of how i feel. The difference now is,It always feel like a miracle and i can't believe it's my stomach. When my stomach feels firm,I am so proud, My brother always had the flattest stomach and I love that now I know what it feels like. If the waist on my clothes feel tight at all then it can effect my whole day. It can make me want to give up on all the work. It seems like I will always have a degree of fat. I try to keep the faith that I can get rid of it.I worked thru tennis elbow,plantar faciatis,and probably other things. Each time handling it better. Knowing that if I follow instructions then I will recover. I see people power thru their injuries and they never fully heal.Next is the external transformation! Getting divorced was definately not on my list when I singed up! I knew that I was in an unhealthy relationship,unhealthy surroundings, and being verbally abused daily. I couldn't see my way out and just accepted that this was my life. I didn't think I was entitled to better and I took what I could get.*You changed everything*I always felt hefty(masculine to a degree), I always felt like I had certain qualities that men would like but I never came across anyone that really appreciated who I am. I also had no idea how to relate to men,not understanding them at all. Always thinking that they really have no interest because of how I look.During my entire training, I was changing my body and losing weight but you were also building my confidence,self worth, ability to feel like a normal even attractive woman. You being the most dynamic,charismatic,people person (an expert in dealing with all types of men and woman) seeing the world from an attractive man's point of view! To accept me for who I am(and even being completely myself, no holding back with you!). Not only accepting and liking me but caring about me and complimenting me on how I look.
The only man to ever do all that. (for now)!!!
This has shown me that I'm worthy and that there will be someone out there that will do the same.Someone that can appreciate me for who I am and find me attractive. Seeing how you have such a great relationship and how you treat Sona,I realized how I needed to get out of mine.
My parents made this possible. I know that they are so grateful to you and they know that you are the driving force of all things positive in my life.
Training with you each week was my survival. I could unload my stress and you kept me moving foward when I wanted to die. I know it wasn't easy for you.
There was 1 session that I was all consumed by everything going on. You stood by the rack in such a way and basically said "tell me everything" You always listen 100% to everything I say but I'll never forget leaving and thinking how incredible that was. I love that you still keep me moving forward when I could easily still focus on the past.The greatest reward is my relationship with Chase. I will always be grateful to you for this too. I was living with someone who prevented me from being at my true potential as a mom. Even though it is so physically and mentally demanding, I am a great mom. My therapist reinforces this and is helping guide me to shed the negative influences of his father. Chase has been thru a lot in the past 2 years and he is strong like his mom! I know that he needs to lose weight and I am helping him to care about his health and his body. It's complicated at his age. I just want you to know that I'm working on it and I'm open to any help from you.So I am amazed at my stamina and strength. I feel great in my classes. I love how nice and supportive everyone is at Titan. I love being part of that world.
Even though I struggle with moderation,I could never eat unhealthy again. As expensive and time consuming as this is, I can't eat processed food.
I feel so great eating clean. It shows in my skin and my energy level immediately.
To start a lifestyle of eating this way at my age is so important. I've done so much damage to my body in the past. At my age, everyone is most concerned with preventing cancer,osteoporosis etc.
Changing the way I eat is another huge gift from you. I love how you refuse to have me follow any gimmicks or short cuts. It's just simple and works.
I know sugar is addicting for me. You believe that I will be able to manage it. That gives me hope.I feel so much more at ease now and I know that any change in a workout or something I eat will not alter my body instantly. I have the discipline and the desire to live a healthy lifestyle hopefully for the rest of my life. I've proven that I can do it for the last 3 years-no matter what. You've shown me ,time after time,that it's worth it.
Since I met you,I've always felt like the luckiest girl in the world(that you were sent to me from above)!My huge investment and sacrifice that I make to train with you, I consider small compared to the investment that you have made in transforming me. Well, maybe not that small!!!I hope you're as excited to see what my future holds as I am!!!!Much love and gratitude,

Makes it possibleWhen i thought that it was impossible to make time to workout and lose weight, Allan made it possible. I am not really into working out but was told by my doc that i need to get into shape ASAP. I hired Allan and it has been the best experience yet. I have worked out with several trainers in the past but i have to say that the motivation and effort that Allan brings is like nothing i have ever seen. I am motivated, losing weight, and feel healthy for the first time in a long time.Thanks to Allan and his team.John - john lopez |
The real deal!!!Talk about getting my money's worth. Allan designed a program for me that leaves me gasping for air from the moment we start the session, all the way until we finish. I have never seen such an array of different exercises combined in an hour session before and I have trained with several trainers in the past. I have gained the muscle I wanted and lost that horrible midsection I use to have. I am so proud and confident when I take my shirt of at the beach now.Thanks Allan. - Barry Goldberg |
Having fun while getting the job doneI have been working with Allan and his team for about 8 months now and the only thing that bothers me is that i should have started a long time ago. Allan has taught self discipline while through his workout sessions. Always prepared and on time, I never have to second guess anything he says. I started out approx 80 pounds overweight and now i need a second job to support my shopping habits, lol. I am truly grateful and respect Allan for what he does cause he simply saved my marriage and probably my life....Jerry - Jerry Hersch |
MOTIVATORMOTIVATOR AND INSPIRING ARE FIRST 2 WORDS THAT COME TO MIND WHEN I THINK OF ALLAN. WOULD EASY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL.JODI - JODI SAVALES |
StellarAllan made me a believer!!! I have always hesitated to hire a personal trainer cause of commitment and financial issues. Ever since i hired Allan, i have not regretted committing or paying him for his services. What a fantastic, professional, human being who brings his true passion to the table every session. I have lost a total of 62 pounds in 5 months and i am still in shock. Custom tailoring a program to fit my lifestyle and my abilities has been key for me.Look no further people!!!Paul M - paul myer |
New StartI have been pretty busy with work all of my life and never made any time to workout or eat healthy. I found out that my wife and I were expecting a baby and I decided to make a change. I want to be able to see my baby grow and I want to be 100% a part of it so I had to get into shape and eat better. I met Allan and he has transformed my body and the way i look at life. I have never been challenged the way Allan has challenged me the past 6 months. Fighting when Im tired, motivating me when I'm down and out, talking to me like a friend and not like a guy that only interested in a pay check.I have lost a total of 45 pounds in 6 months and feel awesome. My wife and I are due in october and i am so excited to release all of energy taking care of my baby and also my wife as she recovers.Thanks Allan for doing what you do......Gene - Gene Flay |
Getting it DoneI am not one for leaving testimonials or reviews but i had to do so in this case. I was diagnosed with diabetes last year and i needed to lose weight and get into shape if i wanted to stop injecting my self with insulin. I hate needles and wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle for myself, wife, and especially my new born baby boy. I started training with Allan a few months ago and the changes in my body ( internally and externally) have been incredible. Allan takes a no nonsense approach towards fitness and gets you there. All you have to do is listen to him and he will get you to where you need to be. Best word to describe my experience with Allan is.........Awesome!!!! Thanks for giving me hope Allan... - Nick Silverman |
One word....Awesome!!!Allan has been amazing from the start. His knowledge and expertise with fitness is incredible. I have been working with Allan for 5 months now and I have lost a total of 55lbs. My body fat went down dramatically and I feel way more confident with the way I look.Thanks Allan :) - Peter Jones |
Complete professional Just started working with Allan and his team and I have to admit that I should have contacted Allan sooner. I have been working with trainers all of my life and have never met with someone who is on top of their game and business like Allan and his team. I lost 68 pounds in 6 1/2 months and have seen my strength and endurance gradually incline with my old age ;)Just happy I found this start!Bruce - Bruce Spears |
Transformed my existenceIn an amount of time I did not think possible, Al helped me to, not only transform my body, but also they way I look at myself and think about how I live my life. Consistent and constantly positive, honest and motivating, you can stop searching NOW, Al's results speak for themselves! - Laurel St. Andre |
Iron man and post pregnancyAllan has been training me for the Australia iron man that coming up in june and i have to say that i have never trained so hard in my life! i never thought in a million years that i can accomplish all of the training that Allan has put me thru. I feel ready to not just finish the race, but really compete.Allan has a team of great trainers as well. Paul has been working with my wife to help her lose weight after delivering our third child and i have to say that her body looks amazing...Thank you Allan and thank you for all your hard work and determination!!! - joseph debaun |
