Since the first day I walked in to the Hatfield Snap Fitness I've been greeted everyday subsequently by the smiling faces of the owners, trainer, and manager. I've found everyone to be extremely helpful and motivating. Snap has helped me to motivate myself to come out to a gym where I don't feel self-conscious about my workouts. I've consistently come to the gym and have definitely felt healthier and seen my body toned. Thanks in part to the Caribbean Adventure, I got in at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 or more times a week.

 Here are Dan's stats since he started working with our FIT PRO . There is more to getting healthy than just loosing weight.

BEFORE

• Body Fat - 19%
• Visceral Fat - 18

AFTER

• Body Fat - 14%
• Visceral Fat - 9

NOTE: Visceral fat (aka intra-abdominal fat) refers to the fat that surrounds the internal organs (not same as body fat). Studies have shown that those with more visceral fat are more susceptible to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and hypertension (SOURCE: wisegeek.com).

In 2008, when I decided to start getting back into running, I did exactly that, run. I basically ran as much I could building my base with hopes of running my first marathon. I was 4 weeks away from my first marathon when I injured my leg. So instead of being on the starting line that cold November morning, I sat inside keeping up on the Philly marathon from my computer.

Over the winter, it finally hit me. I need to cross train. I needed strength training. I need to do more than run to stay healthy and achieve my goals. I found a great running training plan with specific strength and core exercises that I was able to do at SNAP every week. I finally realized that by simply doing 30 minutes on the stationary bike, or elliptical on my off days would help strengthen other muscles  that suppport my 'running muscles' without the impact of running. The medicine balls, exercise balls, and other equipment at SNAP was able to strengthen my 'core' like no tomorrow. A strong core is essential to running healthy and longer.

A little over a year ago, at age 47 and at 5’5”, I weighed 210 lbs. I was tired 
all the time and my triglycerides and cholesterol levels were so high that my 
doctor wanted to put me on medication. Also, heart disease runs in my immediate 
family and I knew I was at risk for it too. I decided it was time to stop 
putting off getting healthy, so I started walking and changed my diet.  Then it 
got cold outside and I wanted find a gym where I could just go in and use the 
treadmill over the winter.   

I live in Hatfield and had seen the new Snapfitness so I stopped in to see what 
they had to offer and talked to John.  I have been to a number of health clubs 
over the years and found that as soon as I joined and paid my fees, that was the 
last I heard from any of the staff -  I was left on my own to work out as best I 
could.  When I joined Snapfitness, they were genuinely interested in my health 
and fitness goals.  I noticed they did that with all the members, especially new 
members who want to get healthy but don’t quite know how to go about it like me. 
 I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Snapfitness also offered a one-hour 
free consultation about my specific health concerns and fitness goals and an 
instructional session on how to use the “Basic 8” machines to get me started. 

At first I was intimidated by the various cardio and weight machines.  But 
slowly, the staff encouraged me to try new things at my own pace and within a 
couple of months I was actually working out, not just using the treadmill. I 
started to lose weight, get toned and just feel better. 

In talking to John over the months, I discovered that he trained in kickboxing 
and taught it as well. This past August during a promotion, Snapfitness offered 
members a personal training session or class, and I tried a kickboxing session 
with John. It was challenging, fun and an incredible workout! Since then John 
has been working with me teaching me kickboxing and other exercises to maximize 
my workout. It still continues to be challenging and interesting, since each 
week John adds something new to the workouts.  He has encouraged me to try new 
types of workouts that focus on toning my core and areas I want to improve, and 
he is always giving me new ideas and information on fitness. 

People I haven’t seen for a while are amazed at the changes in my body and 
attitude, and so am I. I really never thought I could lose weight and be this 
toned. It’s been a year since I joined Snapfitness and I have lost over 60 lbs, 
I have much more energy and stamina and I feel great!
