Terry
We are so proud of this young student athlete for the past 6 months of hard work! Terry has added almost 30 pounds of muscle, 4 inches on his chest and back, an inch and a half on each arm, and over 2 inches on each leg. All that plus a 200% increase on his strength including a 270 pound deadlift! At just 15 years old Terry is a hard worker and a great athlete, but we are most proud of what an exceptional young man he is - humble, kind, and a great leader. He is a great example for all athletes and we cannot wait to celebrate more success together!

I have had issues with weight and self-image my entire life. I decided to join Max Effort Training when I had hit another low point. The stresses of a new job, my relationship, a new home and family issues caused my anxiety levels to increase significantly. I was depressed and, as many of us do, turned to food for comfort. The resulting increase in my weight intensified these negative feelings about myself. However, I was desperate to feel better and wanted to make positive life choices to begin this process.

I have been working out with Jacques since June 2004. I have always “exercised,” but I knew that I was at the point in my life where I wanted to work with a trainer who would push me to reach my goals and give me the incentive to keep those goals. Jacques has listened well to what I wanted to achieve a level of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and slow gravity down a bit. My goal was not to lose weight, but to tone and tighten my muscles; and I have done that.

I started out with 48% body fat, a waist measurement of 50 ½ inches, and hip measurement of 62 inches. Today I have 33.1% body fat, a 35 inch waist and hip measurement of 43 ½ inches. I have lost 142 pounds. I was wearing a size 26/28 and am now down to a size 12. In addition, in less than a year, I am completely off my diabetes medicine as my A1C is in the normal range and I no longer need to take acid reflux medicine. My cholesterol is below 200 as well. All these numbers are great, but the best part of all of this is the improved quality of life I have. Things that were difficult before are not – walking up the stairs, sitting in a lounge chair, playing catch with one of my boys, shoveling snow; the list could go on and on.
