An Inspiring Story You Should Hear

Last Friday, I had an awesome lunch at Seasons 52 (I love it there great food and great ambiance and nothing over 475 calories- I apologize for the shameless plug but I really do love it there).  But that’s not the inspiring part.  I was celebrating a special occasion.  One of our clients, Dan Dychtwald, reached his lost 100 lb weight loss goal (he lost 106 lbs to be exact).   He dropped over 50 inches  and over 15% bodyfat.  His results are absolutely amazing.

Dan started with us May 2008, he struggled with his weight his whole life, his health was suffering, and he didn’t want to celebrate his 40th B-day overweight.  He interrogated several other personal training studios.  I think we were number seven on his list, and I’m not kidding when I say interrogation.  He did his homework and grilled me for over an hour.  I loved it because I knew he was really serious about dropping his 100 lbs.  His eating habits were a mess and his exercise routine was non-existent.  

For the past year Dan has actually shrank before our eyes.  His first month he lost over 30 lbs.  His diet has totally transformed and he still workouts like a complete madman with us 2x/week.  He’s our only client that has asked for another food journal because he has religiously filled his out for the past year. 

On Friday I asked Dan, what was the key to his success.  His answer was short and sweet.  He said it was us and because he was mentally in the right place to make a change.  He had even tried another local studio (no, I won’t name names) but it just wasn’t giving him the one-on-one attention he needed and he didn’t get any results.  He also mentioned we were the only facility that had emphasized exercise and nutriton right from the beginning.  Sidenote:  Personal trainers are a complete weenies make sure you interrogate your potential trainer before you fork out some cash.  Check out this article I wrote on How To Choose A Qualtiy Trainer

Dan has totally changed his life and his career.  He’s actually studying to become a personal trainer and registered dietitian.  He’ll be a NASM certified personal trainer by the fall and he’s taking several college courses.  And if that’s enough he’s fallen in love with nutritional science so he’s also on the registered dietitian track at school as well as personal training. 

He wants to use his inspiring story to help others lead a healthier life.  He’s especially excited to work with kids, so they don’t have to wait so long to get in shape. Starting next week, Dan will be our intern for the summer.  I can’t wait to get my hands on him.
