Club Inhale/exhale

Over the last few years, I have lost over 80 lbs. Most of it was before I started working with Club Inhale/Exhale, but for the rest, they get all the credit. I remember meeting the owners when I was morbidly obese and feeling 1000% intimidated. My friend raved about them but I was terrified of trying a class and failing miserably. But then I started wanting fitness and health more than I wanted the comfort of trying to hide from the world. So I tried a class and received welcome, enthusiasm, laughter, a great workout, and continued support and encouragement. The coaches no longer scare me--it is what my "obese" mindset tells me that scares me, because I still think of myself as the way I was. But today, I am so much more fit and active than I've been in years. Club Inhale/Exhale has given me a love of exercise and endorphins, and thus so much of my life back, and the knowledge that with the right kind of work and dedication, I will get to where I want to be. The classes are wonderful, full of challenge and fun. The nutrition information and support are amazing. The new fitness family I've gained...priceless. Thank you. Two simple words that never seem adequate but which mean so much. So...thank you.

Hi Coach Kelly and Coach Mike, I just wanted to thank you for being there and guiding me along my journey of being healthy, happy and most of all learning to love myself! I have been overweight all of my adult life! I have always put others needs in front of mine and would try to make others happy even if I wasn't! I have dieted before always losing weight but gaining it back plus a few extra pounds! I have been told if I lost a few pounds maybe I would have a boyfriend... Countless times I had heard this!! It breaks you and you don't believe in yourself because you don't think you're good enough for anyone else.. It's very sad not to believe in yourself.. Well a year and a half ago I had a life changing event.. I came to the realization that I am a good person and I am worth it! In January of 2013 I joined Weight Watchers and was determined to lose weight! I had been successful with it and lost about 30 lbs when I joined you in May! In August you offered a BioBody class and although I lost weight it proved I wasn't making the correct choices.. My body fat had gone up and yet again I was discouraged!! Although being discouraged did not deter me from my goals and I kept pushing on! In February you offered the Transformation Challenge! Of course I accepted the challenge and have been enjoying myself while doing it! I am learning to make better choices and although I may still have a setback here and there I don't let it get to me! The next meal is a brand new start and it's a constant learning process!! I also have to say I love exercising now!! The classes offered at Club Inhale/Exhale are challenging, informational and most of all fun! I would have to say my favorite is TRX with Boxing coming in a close second! A little update: I ran a 5k last November so I could complete my goal of being in an obstacle race this year! I will be running another 5K Think Big 5k in April as a warmup for Muckfest on April 26th! I am so excited! : I just wanted to thank you and everyone at Club Inhale/Exhale for being there with support, encouragement and most of all making it a fun place to be a part of!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Coach Mike and Coach Kelly in photographing a Google Virtual Tour for their business. Both of them are so easy-going and fun to work with. Be sure to check out Coach Kelly's cooking videos!
