Our Wonderful Clients

What beautiful weather we’re having!! I’m not one to rush the seasons, so I won’t say that Summer is just around the corner; but it is getting closer every day.

One exciting event in May - we are Celebrating our Third Anniversary in Williamsburg. Where has the time gone? I imagine it’s true that “time flies when you’re having fun.”

I know that my blogs are usually about the reasons why you should get fit and healthy. Or why you should commit yourself to an exercise program. This one will be different.

I want to talk about my wonderful clients – both in Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. I certainly admit that I do not know my Virginia Beach clients as well as I know those in Williamsburg. Of course, that’s because I signed up every single client in my Williamsburg Studio, while the Virginia Beach clients were “given” to me.

Does that make a difference? Absolutely not! I may not know every client as well as I should but that is changing day to day. And, of course, all of my clients are benefiting from the expertise of my talented and knowledgeable trainers.

In the past few weeks my wife and I have had some short conversations with our clients. One long-time client told my wife that she loves the fact that my wife and I are so hands-on in our Studios. We genuinely take an interest in each and every client, and watch the day-to-day operations just as we have done from the first day we opened our doors.

One of our clients just returned from a European vacation. This woman came to us over a year ago walking with a cane because she had such bad knees. During her European vacation she was so thrilled that she was able to easily keep up with her travel companions and had a wonderful time. She told my wife that, if this had been a year ago, she could have never gone on such a trip. She knows that it is only through her exercise regimen that she can now easily walk around where before it was a problem.

Then there was the client that has been with us six months, and is rejoining again. She has lost over 45 pounds and is off of 7 different medications!! She hopes to be off her last medication when she sees her doctor in June.

Let me tell you about one of my latest clients. She has needed a knee replacement operation for the past two years but, for various reasons, she has decided to wait. She now decided to get into better shape before having the operation. I give her so much credit for realizing that she needs to get herself stronger and more flexible for this surgery. Right now she can barely bend her knees, but that will change. I can’t wait to chart her progress.

Then, of course, we have our very first client who is still with us. At 75 years young she can bench press 100 pounds; more than many men can do.

Many of my Virginia Beach clients have been with that Studio for years – some of them over 4 – and they just keep joining up year after year. My promise to them is that not only will my wife and I keep the Studio running at the highest level possible, but we will work to improve that Studio, as well as the Williamsburg Studio, in every way that we can.

So….this is what keeps us going day after day and week after week – our wonderful clients.
