About Fit 4 Life,
by Felicia Short, Owner

I started Fit 4 Life for several reasons. I had been struggling with my weight for several years. I tried a few of the diets that were popular. You know, the ones where all you eat is protein and no carbs, the cabbage soup diet, the diet pills, the liquid diet, just to name a few. None of them ever worked for me. The good thing was that I never stayed on those diets for more than a week or two.

I also grew tired of watching the television set only to be interrupted by a commercial selling diet food, diet pills and other so-called quick fixes. There are no quick fixes. You didn't put the weight on quickly, so why expect it to fall off quickly--especially if you are not willing to put forth any effort to make weight loss happen?

I made all kinds of excuses: I can't work out. I don't have the time. It's just baby fat.  I made excuse after excuse until one day I said no more.  I am not going to live the rest of my life unhappy with the way I look and feel. I'm not going to increase my chances of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol and other diseases. I have children to think about. If I didn't change my bad habits, then they're going to adapt the same behaviors.

A lot of times people will say "it runs in my family". If your parents ate unhealthy and didn't exercise, then the chances are you're going to mimic the same behaviors. With 119 million or 64.5% of adult Americans overweight or obese--and the numbers steadily increasing--we need to make some changes, and fast, right now!

Based on studies performed by the ACSM(American college of sports medicine), recommendations of 15% body fat for men, and 25% body fat for women were made.

A variety of health problems may arise both when percent body fat falls below the low end of the recommended range or extends upward into the obesity range. When the clients of Fit4Life lose weight they look healthy.  Clients are not pressured to become a

size 4.  Everyone is different and will have different goals.  I am

currently a size 8 and I am very comfortable in my own skin. 

Our mission is to get you healthy and fit! Losing just water weight is not enough if you care about your health. After all anyone can lose water weight, but water weight is not killing us...FAT is!  That

is why it is very important to obtain a healthy body fat percentage.

Why did I make the change?

I decided at a size 18, weighing over 200 pounds and obese, I was fed up and not going to be obese for the rest of my life.

I started going to an exercise program, working with a personal trainer learned how to cook and eat healthier and I must say, this has been the best I've felt in a very long time.

You see, I was never the athletic type. The one who has been fit her whole life. I am a person who was just like you. A person who struggled with self esteem issues, depression, and not feeling very pretty.

So when you attend my boot camp, you are dealing with someone who has been where you are. I know your struggles and I have felt your pain.

Are you going to yell, call me names and get in my face like they do at the other boot camp?

Never!

to accomplish something stand in the way of your
doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might
as well put that passing time to the best possible use.”

Now I'm Fabulous Thanks to Fit4Life

 

I lost over 60 pounds!  You can too. You don't have to be fat.

Do something about it.  I wish I would have done something sooner.  My wedding dress was a size 18.  This dress is a size 10.  My goal is a size 6. Nothing less.  I want to remain looking healthy and fit not sick. We don't expect you to look like skin and bones.  That's not sexy.  We wont 't push you to be less than a healthy weight and body fat percentage.  No

weight loss accomplishment is too small to acknowledge.  Many of our members have lost any where from 20 pounds

to over 100 pounds, and their body, self esteem, confidence, and health has soured beyond expectations.  Whether you have 5 or 200 pounds to lose, this is the best place that you can be.  I am not only the owner, but I am also a client.
