Another inspiring story for this week's Testimonial. Laura has had an amazing second chance at life and she is not taking it for granted. Read on below:
“My name is Laura Armijo, and I was diagnosed with colon cancer one year ago in August of 2021. When I went to the emergency room, they saw a 9cm mass in my colon. When it was biopsied, it was positively cancer. Dr. Garcia removed the cancer along with 12 inches of my colon in September. The last five people I knew that was diagnosed with cancer have passed away, so I was planning my funeral; I really was! But God gave me a second chance at life. Today I am cancer free. The cancer doctors strongly suggested that I lose weight and I wanted to, but I have been this weight for the last 27 years. My average weight was 284lbs.I joined Defined Fitness in May of this year and purchased the training special to see if a personal trainer would help. I was very athletic in high school and college with swim team, so I thought I did not need help, but I did. Cindy paired me up with Ricky (Raymond) because he trains on the floor (weights) and in the pool. He has been such a help to get me on track with my weight loss and physical fitness journey. I learn something new each session, whether it be a new exercise or new mind set about physical fitness that I never knew before. I have not swum on swim team since 1989, so he corrects my strokes in the water so I can get a better work out when I swim. So far, I have lost 12 lbs. Wow, I have not done that in 27 years. My eating habits are better than before, and I feel great.
I was doing planks the other day; Ricky has gotten me to like planks; and I got emotional because one year ago I thought I was going to die and now I am cancer free, doing planks because I can.
Thank you Ricky for being an excellent trainer to help this ole’ jock get back in shape."

We have a very inspiring story for you today. Joleen is a kind, determined, and very valuable member at our Mesa location. Here is what she had to say about her personal training experience:
"My name is Joleen Trujillo, and I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS.) I was diagnosed in November of 1996 and am now 65 years old. The type of MS I have is relapsing and remitting. Which means it comes and goes, so I never know what life is going to thro at me any given day, but whatever kind of day it is, I am always ready to go. Yes I have my good days and bad days, but I always keep going forward and keep moving. I HAVE MS..BUT SO WHAT? This is why I go to the gym. I can’t walk very well but we are working on that. Devan is one of my trainers, and he’s helping me with balance and strengthening my legs. I also have Claire as my other trainer, and she’s helping me as well with strength training and I am becoming a lot stronger thanks to them both. Claire and Devan are incredible. Cindy the training manager is absolutely amazing and I am so thankful for Jake the General manager and his great staff here at Mesa. Though I can’t walk too well YET, I sure can pedal a bike, and that’s why I ride in “Bike MS.” I would like to inspire people by telling them to never let their disabilities stop them, and to never give up. DO YOUR BEST ALWAYS!"

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY!

Here is a PT client testimonial from Lisa, who is a member at our Mesa club, and had a lot of great things to say about her trainer!

"I was athletic through college. Life happened and I was inactive long enough to get out of shape. I had never had a personal trainer before. I very much appreciate Claire as a personal trainer for many reasons.
First, Claire knows her stuff! Working with a knowledgeable trainer is important to me because I want to learn exercises with proper form that I can use when I am working out on my own. Second, Claire brings just the right amount of toughness to encourage and motivate mixed with an understanding of my limitations that combined, help me accomplish my workout goals while avoiding injuries. Third, I appreciate that Claire communicates well. Claire is approachable. I have found it easy to talk with her about my workout goals, nutrition, types of exercises and their variations, and challenges encountered at the gym. I am confident I will accomplish the fitness goals I've set for myself with Claire's help."

CONGRATULATIONS to our YETI Ready For Summer app challenge winner Kiana from Sandia! Great job logging your 18+ workouts and enjoy your YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY!
This week we have Kelsey from Mesa, who continues making time for her personal training even with twelve hour nurse shifts. She had a lot of great things to say about her trainer Andrea;

"Dre and I have been working together for the last nine months and I have never felt stronger. My main goal was centered around proper lifting form and muscle development. Previously I did a lot of group fitness so I wanted to focus on a more customized one on one approach. I also have a hectic schedule as a nurse with twelve hour shifts, so Dre was great at being flexible. She even did 5am sessions before my day shift! It is evident that Dre prepares for each session in order to design a challenging and fun work out for me. She customizes my session depending on my specific goals for the month. Her encouragement and excitement always motivates me to lift heavier, push harder, and strive for that last rep. Dre has been an integral part of my Defined Fitness experience and our sessions are always a highlight of my week!"

Happy Friday from our Mesa team! We hope you have a great weekend and don't forget you can come and workout in our yard area to get some extra sun!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY!
Here is an incredible come back story from Chris, a client from our Mesa location;
"My story involves near death, and the ever-loving story of coming back from a massive tumor, the size of my palm, wedged between my skull and brain. The trainers and staff at Defined Fitness have had a major hand in my post tumor recovery, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their kindness and support with not only my physical journey, but also helping me gain confidence again. After removal of the killer tumor, which required two surgeries , now comes the fun part! Recovery! I was finally released from the Neurology Department. I needed to find a place to continue my physical therapy and gain some muscle back from all I lost in my stay at the hospital. (I think I literally lost every pound of muscle I had).When I walked into Defined for the first time, I was greeted by Cindi Long. She sold me almost instantly with her knowledge and professionalism of what PT could do for me. She then assigned me to Devan, who really impressed me with how well he knew how the human body operates. I just can’t thank Cindi, Devan and Clair (only worked with her once so far, and she’s really a good trainer too) for all their help in achieving not just my personal fitness goals but also a large but quiet hand in helping me build my confidence and outgoing self, come to life again."

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY!!!

Did you know we have one of the absolute best personal training programs in New Mexico? Here is a client testimonial by Lawrence from our Mesa location:
"I first met Devan in October. I was 70 years old, overweight, poor stamina, and had a lack of good balance. Devan’s motivation, persistence, and encouragement has transformed me. I was a person who had never been in the gym before, and I now look forward to my daily workouts. Devan prepared a nutritional guide for me, and despite some slip ups, I have made great strides in a proper diet. His plans have been strict and informative. He started me off by strengthening my core and stability, which helped with balance and endurance. I fully intend on continuing my training with Devan. I haven’t felt this good in decades. My energy level, balance, stability, and strength have rapidly improved in the last six months. Thank you Devan!"
