In January, some friends and I planned a trip to Peru to hike the Inca
trail to Machu Picchu. Since I had never worked out a day in my life, I
decided that working with a trainer would be the best way to be prepared
for this trip.
After looking into many gyms in the area, I chose to train with Jay at O3
Health and Fitness. I loved the idea of training in a private environment
yet still having access to the equipment on a regular basis.
Soon after my training began, I could already see a difference in my
balancing skills and calf and shoulder muscles. The best part was that I
was sleeping better and noticing a major difference in my daily
activities. Even my friends and family saw a major difference in my looks
and attitude.
Jay kept the workouts fresh and interesting by having new and different
series of workouts every time we met. He also helped me learn more about
daily nutrition and how to use food to help in building muscle and loosing
weight.
Not only did I gain muscle and shed some of those love handles, but Jay
helped to push me further than I had ever imagined. It was very satisfying
learning to successfully complete an exercise.
In September I completed a four day hike on the Inca Trail to Machu
Picchu. It was a grueling hike full of steep rocks, long downhills and
extremely difficult uphills. But the feeling of completing this trail was
one of great pride and satisfaction. I know that if I had not trained with
Jay at O3, I would have not have had the muscle, energy or stamina to keep
going in order to accomplish my goal of completing the Inca Trail. |
