Building a community is so important when it comes to our fitness family. We are
not just here to help someone lose weight. All of us work together to provide an
environment that is fun, encouraging and truly like family. We take pride in this.
One of our amazing former members, Andrea Heuer, said some very kind words and I
wanted to share them with the rest of you.
“I started working out at FBBC spring of 2013”, states Andrea. “I had never enjoyed
working out and I was very out of shape. Megan and the rest of the trainers are
spectacular. They somehow found a way to make me enjoy my workouts; something
I thought I would never say.”
Seriously, how cool is that? To take someone that didn’t like to exercise at all and
change her attitude. It’s all about putting them first and building our community.
“Every time I would walk in before a workout, whoever was the trainer that day
would say, “Hi Andrea” and give me a big smile”, adds Andrea. “It may sound silly,
but it always made me feel welcome and that I belonged there.”
The best part about this is that everyone is like this. And when I say everyone, I
mean the clients too. We have such an awesome environment; we really can’t call
this work. This is changing lives!
“Another aspect I love about FBBC is that the trainers would push me when they
knew I could do more and would find alternative exercises for me when I was
unable to do something”, states Andrea.
“Thanks to Megan and FBBC, I ran my first 7K this spring. Had it not been for
starting here last spring, I would have never been motivated enough to get myself
off the couch and start a running program. But the trainers made me feel like I could
accomplish anything, so I tried it, and did it!” (Folks you can do it. I am sure you can)
Unfortunately Andrea lives too far away and can no longer make the commute, but
I still felt compelled to share her story. We still keep in touch and I love seeing her
pictures on Facebook. She is maintaining this lifestyle, which makes me know we
truly made a difference.
In her closing statement to me she said, “I’ve lost approximately 22 pounds. I have
a ways to go but thanks to my positive experience at FBBC, I am on the right track. I
feel stronger and healthier than I have in years.”
Andrea’s attitude is awesome. She continues to lose weight and look great and while
we haven’t been able to continue to be her main source for fitness I’m just happy to
have had the opportunity to be a part of her life and to have made exercise accessible
for her.
I love what I do 
Megan K and the team
