CLEAN. SMALL. SAFE.

Getting healthy isn't just 'making' myself go to the gym, it began with a change of my mindset! I stopped trying to look a certain way and just decided to move. Get up and go for a walk outside at lunch, do push-ups and body weight squats at my desk, never miss 3 days in a row of the gym, eat clean 80% of the week and eat anything I want the other 20% of the time. I track all of my calories/macros with an app, which is a huge thing for me! To know what you're putting in your body (even the "bad" stuff)! This journey has changed the way I think about food and exercise. I also find myself with WAY more energy than I've ever had, with no signs of ever wanting to slow down! Don't give up! STAY DETERMINED! Commit, then do it! It's a wonderful journey!

In October of 2017, I went through a lot of personal issues like depression and anxiety. Not loving yourself is a huge deal! I decided it was time to change. I started working out at Snap Fitness 5-6 times per week, eating healthy and cut out fast food and pop. A couple months went on and the weight finally started to come off. Today, I weigh 155lbs. I’m still working towards a goal, but I have never been more proud of myself to achieve something. Loving myself was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I had a successful liver transplant in January 2016 and upon returning back to Buffalo from Cleveland Clinic I was an eating machine. I joined Snap Fitness in 2017 but by October had fallen off the wagon. On New Year's day, I decided to get serious. I have been at the gym almost every day since pedaling away. I have lost 27 pounds of my goal and I am not done. The staff at Snap Fitness is encouraging and friendly and it is an unpretentious and comfortable atmosphere in which to reach my goal and stay fit.
