Doctors warned me: my weight was putting my heart at risk, and surgery loomed if I didn’t make serious lifestyle changes. Gyms hadn’t worked for me before. I’d start with enthusiasm, only to quit within weeks. I assumed my body just wasn’t built for the gym environment. That was until I found Harrisonburg Family Fitness. It wasn’t my body that was the problem, it was the missing motivation – the encouragement I desperately needed to keep going.
My fitness journey began in November 2023, driven by the desire to be healthy for my children. Before, my weight limited my ability to play with them. Now, I can keep up with their energy, even outlasting my son! The supportive atmosphere at Fit Zone and the incredible coaches, Kelley & Brittany, have been instrumental. From my very first class, I felt their genuine commitment to every member’s progress. They go above and beyond to help you achieve your personal fitness goals. The entire staff deserves recognition; their warm greetings and welcoming attitude make all the difference.
My initial goal was weight loss, and I achieved it in under six months! Starting at 245 lbs, the most significant change was in my waistline, dropping from a 44 to a 32-inch waist. I now track my progress by waist size rather than weight. My focus has shifted to weightlifting and building muscle. Harrisonburg Family Fitness has truly transformed my life, proving that with the right environment and support, 24 7 Family Fitness is not just a concept, but an achievable reality.
