FUN PERSONAL FACTS


Things I Enjoy ...

Quality Coffee

Don't waste life drinking boring coffee. I love light roast coffee with either black or heavy cream please.

Hiking / Traveling

Getting out in nature and going on hikes helps you relax and reflect and explore ... especially mountains!

Sports / Training

I still love training like an athlete and playing sports. I have to practice what I preach, ya dig?! 

Snowboarding

I've been to Denver to hit the slopes in Vail ... it's hard to come back to Michigan after being there!

ANGELA M. - Insurance Agent

As a busy mom, it's so important to make and find time for yourself. I used to do some cardio training and some weight training occasionally but got busy taking care of the family. I decided to make time for myself and i'm so glad I did! The results I got in 6-weeks were amazing, I love feeling more tone in my arms and abs! As a busy Mom of 4 kids, you have to take care of yourself first and you'll have more energy and quality time with your family. You'll be glad you did!

Will I. - Business Analyst

I spent the summer working with Josh who developed a custom program to meet my needs. I have been working out for many years, and I can say that I have never completed a program in which my initial expectations have more closely matched my actual results. The thing that I believe made all the difference is that Josh took the time to get to know me and my goals before tailoring a program specific to me.
