I have been with Body Buster Fitness for a little over a year.

What I like the most about Body Buster is that the instructors keep you motivated and push you to challenge yourself which, in turn, makes personal success easy.

I seriously have not gotten on a scale since I was nine months pregnant. What I have noticed is that I am more toned and my clothing fits better (some are even loose!).

I am continuing with Body Buster because I don’t want the improvements that I have experienced to disappear. I want to keep pushing myself and setting new goals, and doing this in an environment that I feel comfortable in, I believe, will play a huge part in me achieving what I set out to accomplish.

My overall health has really improved. I feel more energetic throughout my day. I am stronger and my cardio is so much better than when I started. Perhaps the greatest improvement to my health that I see is in managing my stress. I always feel re-energized after a class and all the issues that I was worrying about on my way to class seem much less significant on my way home.

I have gained the confidence to know that my body is stronger than ever and that this is only the beginning. I have gained the understanding that it is not enough to just go through life and not make yourself a priority. Being healthy is not something that I am entitled to but something I have to work for. I have gained two hours a week that are just for me where I can take a complete break from all the different hats I wear in my life. The session that I participate in is fantastic, right from the instructors to the other members, so I have also gained a few laughs and the ability to meet some great people.

In order to be the best person that you can be you have to lead an active and healthy lifestyle because that will impact all the other areas of your life. You can manage stress better, you have more energy and are able to do more. I want to be a good role model for my children and I want to make sure that I do whatever I can to keep up with them for many years to come!
I would tell them that this is a great place to be if you want to experience fitness success. I would tell them that the beginning is hard but not to compare themselves to other people and to remember that they’ll start seeing improvements quickly and that feeling is worth all the effort.
I would tell them to make themselves a priority. Exercise not only provides physical well-being but mental well-being as well. When you are stronger both physically and mentally you can do so much more at work or with your family, I don’t know of any excuse that can trump that. There will definitely be days where exercise will be the last thing you want to do but just get to the program and the instructors will take care of the rest.
