I have lost 46 pounds, many inches, four sizes in clothing, and lowered both my blood pressure and cholesterol. I am much stronger and both my physical appearance and mental attitude have improved dramatically. I accomplished much more than I ever expected in a short period of time. I feel wonderful!

It was the summer of 2008 that I decided to take control of my life again. I had been through some very stressful, emotional events and I gained a lot of weight. My eating habits were horrible.

The first thing I did was make an appointment with my doctor to discuss how to go about getting back into physical shape. I was very worried about all the health issues that come with obesity such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, etc. I was just approaching the ranges where those could have turned into problems. My doctor advised me to join a gym. He said just dieting was not enough at my age (I’m 57). After visiting him, I called a friend who was in terrific shape and asked her what the best State College fitness facility was. She told me about One on One.I asked her if she thought I could just buy some equipment and work out at home. She gave me terrific advice and said, “No, you don’t have enough knowledge to do that.” I didn’t understand what she meant then, but I sure do now!I called One on One to see what the gym and received a warm welcome as soon as I walked in. I expected to see a typical State College gym with a lot of college students on treadmills, bicycles, etc. That was certainly not the case. I witnessed people of all ages, but the most important thing I noticed was the personal training. One on One is the perfect name for the gym. They really give you “One on One” attention.When I left my initial visit, something immediately hit me and I said to myself “No! Don’t leave without making an appointment for a consultation!” I scheduled an appointment on the spot. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.On August, 11, 2008 I started my exercise program at One on One and began eating right. Since then, I have lost 46 pounds, many inches, four sizes in clothing, and lowered both my blood pressure and cholesterol. I am much stronger and both my physical appearance and mental attitude have improved dramatically. I accomplished much more than I ever expected in a short period of time. I feel wonderful!The experience I have had at One on One has truly changed my life. I have been encouraged by the entire staff from the day I started. They have been a tremendous support to me. They answer any questions I have about exercise, eating and overall health issues. I feel like I learn something new about the human body every time I come in for an appointment with my personal trainer. One on One is definitely a gym where they take a personal interest in their clients. It is not just going to a gym, it is a place where I know they really care!When I considered coming to One on One, I was concerned about the cost. In hindsight, if you would have told me I could look and feel like this, I probably would have paid anything. I can’t thank them enough for helping me to improve my overall health. I know I did the work, but without them I could not have done it. They are amazing!
