“Hi, my name is Sandy. Before I came to Heather Hartridge Health & Fitness I felt like my life my life was controlled by my health issues, both physical and mental. I realized I needed to do something about my weight, which was affecting my own self-esteem and in turn, my control of the ongoing battle against depression.
I joined a spring ‘boot camp’ facilitated by Heather’s Studio. It was quite a diverse group of people, all with basically the same goals of self-improvement and fitness. Everyone was friendly, encouraging and non-judgemental. I discovered just how out of shape I was. The program itself was easy to follow, but learning to breathe properly and listening to my body was not. At the end of the boot camp I was feeling good about myself, still wanted to lose more weight and keep it off, so I signed up for a longer wellness program that included lifestyle changes to my diet and exercise routine. I have lost a few pounds but my body fat loss was even greater. On top of that, I felt energized, was happy and proud of my accomplishments and even liked myself. Although I work in the health care sector, I was amazed at some of the nutritional information I received. I was also able to encourage my husband to make the dietary changes needed for a healthier life. He has lost almost twice what I lost without following an exercise program and he says he enjoys the new recipes I have made. I will continue the exercise classes given by Heather and all the other trainers for the social aspect and encouragement alone. The resulting weight loss has helped greatly in control of my Type 2 Diabetes, I sleep better and my general outlook on life is very positive. It’s also great to receive all the compliments of how great I look or even better, when someone doesn’t recognize the new smaller me!
Heather and the trainers at H3F are very knowledgeable and professional in the group classes and manage to make me feel like have had one-on-one training. There are many laughs throughout the classes and everyone’s successes, are acknowledged and celebrated.
I recommend Heather Hartridge Health & Fitness to anyone who wants to get control of their own health and fitness without the use of fad diets or hours in the gym, but by staying with natural food and moderate daily exercise that has been proven throughout the years.”
