| - I recently signed up with a Vimtrim trainer (Tyler) at The Liv. New residents get two free personal training sessions, so I decided to give it a try. I was a little cautious at first because personal trainers I had come across in the past usually seemed more interested in getting to their next workout or had trouble "taking it down" to a beginner's level. But, Tyler was different. He carefully listened to what my goals were, made eye contact, and seemed genuinely interested in helping me get on the right track. I have a chronic arthritis condition in my lower back, and soon after our first session, I got hit with a baseball on my elbow. Tyler was careful to tailor the exercises we did to safely deal with those situations. He also helped me start tracking what I eat, and gave some great recommendations on how to adjust my eating habits to help me achieve my goals.
I was in pretty bad shape when I started with Tyler, both physically and mentally, but I was motivated to make a change in my life - for me. Tyler has helped me a lot, and has helped to keep me accountable to keep at it. I have lost nearly 40 lbs so far, and plan to keep it up. I probably would have failed and given up long ago if I had not chosen to make this investment in myself.
