XBM FALL SESSION WINNER!
CONGRATULATIONS DAWN! Here is what Dawn had to say about being the winner of our fall session:
When I signed up for this class I simply wanted to start exercising and be accountable for it. I thought I knew what to eat and what not to eat and for the most part ate healthy. What I lacked was getting the protein in my body. I never realized how much of that I was missing. Now I know! I am not very coordinated and I did it. Maybe not with the right leg but both legs were getting a workout. Anybody can do this, the instructors are great with showing you different levels to challenge yourself or not! “Pick your poison” will be a phrase I will not forget. It is a choice I made every morning at 5:00 to go to class. You are with a group of people who are there for the same thing (sweat and laughter). The instructors are there to push you, motivate you and tell you “Great Job”. This class was wonderful and great experience.
I never imagined winning this and I am very excited. I do remember when Angela weighed me I said the scale was wrong and I got back on it. I had her look at it 3 times before I believed it. She said let’s see what the other numbers say and oh my goodness the inches were right there with the scale numbers… Amazing is all I can say. And then to have Diane say my name at the rally was even more of a shocker. I think we all won!!
I will be back in classes. Thank you to all the staff.
Dawn lost 21 pounds, and 17+ inches. Her body fat was reduced by almost 4 percent. Good job, Dawn!
XBM SUMMER SESSION WINNER!
XBM wasn’t really something I wanted to do, at first, but my friend, Jody, talked me into doing it with her and I’m so glad that she did. This has been a great experience! The encouragement from my team coach, Diane, and all of the other trainers was fantastic. The classes were fun, so I wanted to go each day (and sometimes, TWICE a day!).
One of the trainers, Katie, said it best when we all felt like we were dying during kickboxing one day . . . “You did this to yourself. You came here today.” That may have made some people wonder why they came that night, but for me, it actually made me feel proud. She was right . . . I DID do this to myself. MY willpower got me there that day and I was forming myself into a stronger, more determined person.
In my 10 weeks of XBM, I lost 14.8 pounds and 5% body fat. I am also a runner and my running pace improved by 30 seconds per mile during my long runs. XBM was a great experience for me, both on the outside and the inside and I would recommend it to anyone who would ask.

I had a great time on RAGBRAI this year! Just another reminder of how year ’round fitness prepares you for the fun things you want to do!
We made it!
Congratulations to Melissa Primus for being the winner of our spring X-Treme Body Makeover session! Melissa lost 15.4 pounds, over 10 inches, and went from poor or below average to excellent or above average in working heart rate, push-ups and planks! Pretty impressive! This is what Melissa has to say about her experience:
XBM winner "before"
XBM winner "after"
“Working out on a regular basis is something I had not done in a number of years even though I knew that I should be. I finally made myself take that first step and sign up, and then come to the first class, and even after a rough day one I made myself come to the second class. Before I knew it I had made it through the ten weeks, saw good results, and am working to make it be a lifestyle change rather than something I tried for 10 weeks. Thank you for the encouragement throughout the 10 week program, for making the class environment something that is not as intimidating as some other workout settings, and for being something that is open to all levels.
The one thing that really got my attention, made me decide that I had to do something, and led to me starting the classes and changing my eating was that I learned in early March that my cholesterol numbers were not good and I did not want to fix the situation be simply taking a pill for the rest of my life. Earlier this week I went in to get my cholesterol re-checked and learned today that since my appointment in early March, my overall cholesterol dropped 42 points – down to 202. (still room for improvement,but I was not expecting that big of a drop). My LDH number also came down to a better number, but still needs some work, and my triglycerides dropped over 60 points – back to the ideal range. No talk of medication and I don’t need to go back for one year! In addition, my blood pressure was right in line and I feel better than I did 3 months ago. Thank you for your help in that progress!
I feel like I have a ways to go yet in improving my overall health and I look forward to continuing the classes as part of the way to reach those goals.”
