David,

First I wanted to thank you for taking me on as a client back in September, although thank you seems a little inadequate for all the time and effort you have spent working with me. I had pretty much hit rock bottom as far as my health and fitness went and I was looking for inspiration, motivation, or just something to help me find my way to a healthy happier me. I found all of it and more working with you as my trainer. Look at me now!!! 5 months and 40 pounds lighter.

Never once when working with you did I ever feel like I couldn’t reach my goals. You taught me how to work out to maximize weight loss as well as gain strength and overall fitness. You motivated me to work harder than I ever thought I could. Whenever I had a question or thought you were available with an answer or smartass comment that made me laugh. I appreciated the way you carefully monitored my progress to make sure that everything I was doing from cardio to diet to strength training was working well together. When training with you it was hard to imagine that you had other clients due to the amount of time and effort you put into helping me to reach my goals.

Now that I’m using everything that you’ve taught me on my own, I still hear your voice from behind telling me to breath. Again, thanks seems hardly adequate but it is heartfelt and sincerely given.

David,
I was extremely disappointed to hear that you were leaving lifetime fitness.  I know I am not the best communicator but sometimes just seeing you was motivation to push just a little harder.  It will be different looking around the floor and not seeing you there.

I would be glad to make a video testimonial for you and you already have my “fat” picture and written testimonial.  If you need another one let me know.

I still would like to communicate with you about diet, etc.  I know I have been out of touch due to the end of the school year and being out of town for a while but I am finally back into my routine.

I hope everything works out for you and let me know if you need anything else.
Good luck at your show!!!

Beth
