First of all, I'm coming back from injury, because I worked out on my own and got hurt pretty bad because I developed bad form doing weights at my local gym. This time around I wanted a trainer to show me proper technique and execution. I wasn't excited about the trainers when I went to 24hrs, but when I met Chris and Maribel at Lalanne fitness, I signed on immediately and haven't looked back. I just completed my 4th month there and I feel so much better physically and mentally. The workouts or "WOD of the day" are so different from anything I ever done, it absolutely the most intense thing I ever did in my life. I never look forward to the gym, but I actually look forward to go because the group classes are amazing, the people you meet there are cool and they are there for the same reason you are to improve and better yourself. If you never heard of "Crossfit," which I didn't, but I recently found out, "Crossfit" methods were used to train actors in the movie 300. What's nice about Lalanne Fitness, you'll never know what the "WOD or workout of the day," which makes it exciting. Most of the workouts are timed, and Chris and Maribel would rather you get good quality reps and execute proper form , they will stop you during the "WOD" and teach you the right way. Sometimes, when you go to a gym, you'll feel intimidated because most people are ripped up like machines, but at Lalanne Fitness you get a diverse mix of students, some are at a higher level and some that just started working out, everybody there encourages each other.

Lalanne Fitness is about results! Recently, we completed a challenge, regarding how much can I improve in 2 months doing the WOD called "Fran," 2 months ago, it took me 6 min 52 sec to complete the "Fran" fast forward 2 months later, I was able to complete the "Fran" in 2 min 45 sec, I was able to knock off 60% of my original time and won for "Most Improved." My endurance is higher than before and I feel so much stronger after 2 months. I hated pullups in middle/high school when 50 classmates stares at you struggling to do one, now I can do at least 2 sets of 5. If you commit yourself to the program, Chris and Maribel will work with you to get to your goals. If you do join, I will be there to cheer you on as will everybody else in class.

Don't wait till your New Year's Resolution to join a gym, go check them out, you won't regret it! -Calvin
