I’ve been working out for over 5 years and have never achieved the results that I was looking for. I almost gave up on losing the last 20 pounds. I said to myself... “maybe this is the weight that I am supposed to be.” One day I was at Whole Foods and picked up a free publication: Atlanta Sports and Fitness Magazine. I saw ads for several boot camp companies and started to view their websites. I was impressed by Yardie’s transformations so I decided to go with them... hey I have nothing to lose right? Well, between the D’s workout and the nutrition approach, I lost 17.6 pounds in 6 weeks. I have not gained any of it back and know that going with Yardie was the best decision I ever made. The support and knowledge I gained from this experience is... priceless.

On Feb 16, 2008 I came to Saturday boot camp session with $25 in my pocket. My intentions were to do a drop-in, see if I like it, and maybe do some more drop-in sessions. Well, there were a bunch of thirty-somethings who coaxed me in to join full time and I felt I had some something to prove, as I am turning 40 this year!
During the first week, there were days I swore I had been hit by a bus but, at the end I had lost 8lbs (mostly water) - so I figured, hey this is worth it. It was already the most amount of weight I had lost in the past 5 - 8 years. The next week I was even more sore, and found my self at the store to get my soaking concoction but after, after losing even more weight, it was definitely worth it. During this time my fellow boot campers put me to the challenge, which helped me tremendously.
Prior to this, if anyone told me that I would be running, I would call them a liar. If anyone would have told me that my first session of the Yardie Fitness boot camp program would have been so rewarding, I would have said no way. Well yes way, after following what I was taught from my trainers (Carlos and Tammie), I lost a whooping 23.4lbs. As proud as I was of my self for that achievement, I was even more appreciative to Yardie Fitness for aiding me in this process.
Being a glutton for punishment, and wanting my weight lost progress to continue, I signed up for another session of the Yardie Fitness boot camp program, where I lost another 14.6lbs.
Yes, a total of 38lbs lost during my 1st 12 weeks!
So, I say all this to say, Thank you Yardie Family in all locations! Thank you all for your testimonies, words of wisdom, support, and love! I could not have done this without out all of you!
There are lots of Fitness Boot Camps out there, but there is only one Yardie Fitness! I love my Yardie Family.
Thank you all so very much.

My introduction to Yardie Fitness actually came about by accident. I am ever so thankful for this chance meeting, which has forever changed me. I was hanging out with some co-workers and I met a member of Yardie Fitness. We began talking about health & fitness and he spoke about Yardie Fitness with so much passion & conviction that he left me curious. What I recalled most about our conversation was how he kept stressing how life changing this program was. A few days later I checked out the Yardie Fitness web site and I was impressed. I viewed the transformation page and immediately noticed that they had women who not only looked like me, but they were also shaped liked me. They each expressed the same issues I had about working out, weight gain, stressful jobs/lives, etc. I was impressed with how they were able to transform their bodies, lives and I once again I noticed how thankful they were about this Yardie Fitness program. I still waited to sign up.
Shortly afterwards, I went home to spend time with my loved ones. I noticed just how unhealthy and overweight they were, and how medical issues plagued my family & close friends. I knew I did not want to continue buying into this unhealthy way of living and that something had to be done. I knew the medical issues were all just a matter of time for me. When I got back to Georgia, I immediately decided to enroll in this Yardie Fitness Program.
I’ll never forget the first 10 minutes of working out. As I was on the ground trying to do mountain climbers, I started contemplating my big escape! I thought I was not physically ready for this type of work-out. I figured if could just get up off the ground, I could just drive away, and never come back. No one knew me here and I’d be free. Even though I was pitiful, I noticed that no one ever got mad or complained. They just kept encouraging me to hang in there, making it easier for me to want to return the next day. After completing my first week I felt encouraged and a little empowered and I though that I just might be able to do this. I loved that every day we did something different, because I can get bored very easily and I need to be challenged. This is definitely not an issue at Yardie Fitness, where you are guaranteed to be pushed & challenged daily!!! What I didn’t realize was that within the 6 weeks I was being transformed inside out, not only building my body, but my shaping my mind towards living a healthier way of life. I was being provided with the tools I needed to change my life for the rest of my life.
It just amazes me week after week how far I’ve come and grown through Yardie Fitness. I am proud to say that as I had just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with Yardie Fitness, I had lost a total of 58 lbs. Initially it may have been about me getting to a certain dress size, but I now realize it’s about me living a healthier life style and just making better choices for myself. I ran my first 5K this year and I am about to run a 10K this Labor Day. It amazes me now when people come to me to ask questions about working out & eating tips. This is something a year ago I could not have ever imagined me doing, nor could I have imagined that I would have my old body back! I look and feel great thanks to Yardie Fitness, the Yardie Fitness Staff and the Yardie Fitness Family support. It took whole lot of determination to get here!!!
I cannot close this out with out sending a whole lot of love for my Yardie Fitness Family & Staff! I can truly say if they weren’t behind me, I might not have made it this far. All of the love, support and encouragement that we give one another is something awesome! I love the way that we support one another in whatever we have going. My referral source was right; this program is life changing and I thank you for this life changing referral.
“I love me some Yardie Fitness!!!”
