Red Effect Infrared Fitness - Oakbrook Terrace, IL

Q&A with Transformation Wall Spotlight - Geoff G.

Q1. What motivated you to continue your transformation and wellness journey at Red Effect Infrared Fitness?

A1. I was only using the saunas, one night as I was leaving, a coach asked if I was going to take any classes. I said yes, but didn’t really mean it.  But it motivated me to get back in there. Soon after THE SUMMER CHALLENGE started. I signed up and haven’t looked back. 

Q2. What was the biggest challenge you faced, and how did you overcome it?

A2. Motivation and intimidation. Being an extremely overweight person, starting was very intimidating.  You worry about judgement from others (and yourself) as well as your abilities and limitations.  The coaches helped with my limits by providing modifications as needed. And the community has been very welcoming and supportive so the fears were alleviated.

Motivation was harder to tackle. I actually stopped coming for a couple months shortly after joining.  I finally just had to put exercise on my schedule. I booked the classes in advance for the month and went.  I did that until it is now my normal routine. 

Q3. How has losing 150 lbs changed your daily life?

A3. In many ways. For one, I no longer need to take a couple of diabetic medications. I also just move better since my joints don’t hurt like they used to and I don’t get tired as quickly. 

Q4. What advice would you give to someone thinking about joining Red Effect Infrared Fitness in order to experience similar results.

A4. It’s not easy, but show up. Push yourself.
