On the 1st day of Christmas, G7 gave to me:

A STRONGER AND HEALTHIER ME

G7 Success Story: Queta Simpson

My name is Queta. I'm a 44-year-old mother of 3 currently celebrating 21 years of marriage this month. My husband and I have been together for over 25 years. I felt this relevant in mentioning because during all this time (and as far back as I can remember), I have been a yoyo dieter. I also exercised on and off but quickly got bored with the exercise routines. When I felt that I was at my "ideal" weight, I would allow myself to slack off on both diet and exercise. By the time I knew it, my weight had shot back up, I was feeling flabby, and once again, I had to start all over.

Since joining G7 in June 2010, I can say that I have become stronger and healthier. G7 has helped me see changes in my body that, really, I had given up on. I thought, “there was no hope for those areas." I was wrong. (My husband has also seen these changes!!)

I love the G7 program because of the way they integrate diet and exercise and stress the importance of doing both together. They have been incredibly helpful, resourceful in both and they have always been available for me. G7 has given me an incredible amount of confidence not only to do their daily WOD’s but to actually do something I had never dreamed of completing which was to run my first 10k on Thanksgiving morning. That was a huge accomplishment for me and I was thrilled when I finished in 62.47 minutes. Thanks to G7, all the coaches, and all the other G7 participants for your support.
