1.  Why did you join G7Athletics?

I joined G7 Athletics primarily to improve my overall lifestyle.  I wanted to get physically fit and get stronger. I’ve never really been athletic so I was hesitant at first, but i knew I had to do some kind of strength/cardio exercise to avoid health problems in the future.

 2. What was your life prior to G7 Athletics?

My life prior to G7 consisted of always trying to eat healthy but never really happy with myself.  I tried running, zumba classes, treadmills and eliptical machines but always found myself not being consistent and getting bored easily.  I never really felt that I had the energy or endurance to do much exercise, I was always tired.  I  made excuses and never had time to commit to an exercise program.

 3.  What results have you seen since joining the G7Athletics community?

The biggest change that I’ve seen since joining G7 is my overall attitude about exercising. Exercise is a priority in my life now!  I am doing things now that I never imagined I could do.  My confidence is improving and I am getting stronger everyday.  I have much more energy, sleep great and feel amazing.   I have seen changes in my weight and definitely in how my clothes fit but I have also seen significant changes in my overall attitude and demeanor.  My youngest son told me the other night that ever since I joined G7 I look much happier and I don’t get mad so easily.  I guess he has also seen some significant changes!

 4.  Has G7Atheltics helped you breakthrough any mental barriers?

Yes, ever since I started I have changed my diet completely.  I must admit I did not think it was possible to adapt to this (Primal) diet, but I have found that it really just takes planning and knowlege.  I am always reading labels, trying new recipes and different ways to be creative with food.  I made up my mind that if I was going to work this hard in the gym that I needed to change the way I ate so that I could see better results.

 5. List any data & hard numbers

I have lost a total of 12 lbs since I started G7. I have a long way to go before I reach some of my personal goals but I know that with the help of my coach (Vero) I will get there.
