When I joined Custom Bodies Fitness I weighed 208 pounds and had a body fat of 26.2%. Considering the fact that I am only 5’8″, this weight was unacceptable. This was by far the heaviest and unhealthiest I have ever been.

I realized that I was completely devoid of the proper nutritional knowledge necessary to
accomplish my personal fitness goals. By working with Dave and his training team to modify my diet and exercise program I began to see immediate results.

After just 10 weeks of working with my trainer and developing a regular exercise program, and just as important the Custom Bodies Fitness nutritional program, I found myself 21 pounds lighter with a body fat of 20.6%. After 21 weeks of work at Custom Bodies Fitness, I lost 46 pounds and my body fat was down to 9.7%!

I have more energy, stamina, strength and self confidence than I have ever had before. For the first time ever, I am unable to wear half of my wardrobe because it’s too big rather than because it’s too small. The only negative feedback I have for Custom Bodies Fitness is that my monthly membership dues do not include free alteration services.

Before: 277 Pounds BodyFat 43.2%	After: 183 Pounds BodyFat 18.7%

It started this past September when my size 44 (waist) pants were getting snug. Either I start buying larger pants, or get into shape. After a couple of weeks of debating with myself I decided to get into shape. I joined Custom Bodies Fitness and my first work out was on Sep 26th, that was when I stepped on the scale for the first time and was sadly surprised that I weighed 277 pounds, the most in my life.
That was the most I had ever weighed by 40 pounds. At first I was going to the gym 3 days a week, but the harder I worked the more I enjoyed it. In a few weeks I was going 6 days a week.

Yes I have time; I am retired and 64 years old. With my 65th birthday in March I had a perfect goal to aim for, to hit my goal of losing 70 pounds by my birthday. I was aware my food intake was out of control and worked on that too. I logged ALL the food I ate every day and made it a rule: no cheating. I would only be cheating myself.

By my birthday, I had reached my goal and lost 71 lbs. I was happy to have achieved my goal, but knew that I could do even better. Today, I am proud to say that I am down to 185 pounds! My body fat has decreased to 20% and my waist size is down from 44” to 34”. Per my Dr.’s orders I am also completely off of the 3 medications I was taking to regulate my blood pressure and cholesterol.

Yes, I still come to the gym 6 days per week; this is part of my maintenance program along with a better diet. Two areas I am working on are maintaining my current weight and body definition.

I thank the people at Custom Bodies Fitness for all their help and support. Dave, Bob and Tony along with the rest of the staff have always been there with encouragement and positive suggestions to keep me focused on my goals.

Again thank you.

News Update: Max’s doctor has taken him off all 3 of his blood pressure and cholesterol medications!

In March 2007, I was diagnosed by my endocrinologist as being pre-diabetic and obese. My weight at that time was 250 pounds and my cholesterol level was 210. I was placed on a 1600 calorie-per-day diet for 90 days, and then transitioned to 1800 calories for another 90 days. That month I also began taking Spin classes three to four times a week at custom Bodies Fitness.(An old “Roadie” averaging over 300 miles per week on a road bike for many years, Spin class came naturally to me).

By the end of 2007, I had dropped 40 pounds, trimmed four inches off my waistline, lowered my cholesterol to below 180, and was able to fit into clothing I had long since outgrown. I know feel better physically and psychologically, and I am told by my wife that I even look better!

I am very thankful for the help, support and encouragement I’ve received from the tremendous Custom Bodies Fitness staff. I am particularly grateful to “Spinmaster” Tony for helping to rekindle my love for cycling through our Saturday morning rides. There is still more weight and inches to lose, and I know I can do it!

Thank you Dave for providing me with the right environment, the right people, and the right tools. I really appreciated it and the gym has become my second home, where I can find encouragement and comfort.

Thank you Scott for your expertise and training, I can see myself going to another level physically with your help and guidance in both the short and long run.
