My motivation for improving my fitness was the looming reality of a family history of heart disease in the face of our rapidly expanding family. My challenge was to exchange a lifestyle of excess for a lifestyle of balance. I decided to tackle this challenge shortly after my first daughter, Julia, was born, and while my wife, Cara, was pregnant with twins.

I needed the discipline to make it to the gym a couple of times per week and the technical know-how to maximize the value of the time I spent at the gym. In the trainers at INLIV, I found a group of unique individuals who were all capable of fulfilling these needs. I enjoyed starting and ending my work-week with early morning workouts at INLIV on Mondays and Fridays, while most of my workouts were with my two master trainers, I've trained with several of the trainers at INLIV.

It was the opportunity to train with so many members of the INLIV team that reinforced what I saw as the best aspect of working out at INLIV - that each trainer brought their own “special touch” to the INLIV experience, but they all are bound by a common thread of professionalism and passion for their practice.

Interestingly, as good as the gym experience is, the gym is only a means to an end. AtINLIV they take their passion for fitness to the next level by encouraging all clients to get out to participate in a Destination experience. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed venturing out on hikes and participating in road races, partly due to the encouragement, support and participation of the INLIV team.

I joined INLIV after an unfortunate mishap with another gym. I began twice a week workouts with two trainers and I haven’t looked back since! When I started with the gym, I was still pretty weak, my stomach gave evidence that I wasn’t in peak physical condition after three babies in two years, and I had no idea what I was capable of.

Since working out regularly at INLIV, I have gained a lot physically. I have dropped all my baby weight and most importantly, I feel like a human again. Thanks to INLIV, I can do more push ups than ever, can run long distances and I can wear my slightly baggy pre-pregnancy clothes like a badge of honor.

The team at INLIV has helped me celebrate my accomplishments, and have helped me to feel great! The INLIV team has taught me that the challenges everybody faces in life are never more challenging than our own attitudes towards overcoming them.
