COMOX VALLEY FITNESS TESTIMONIALS

   My name is Todd Birnie, I am 39 years of age. I was at a point in my life where change was needed, being overweight, high blood pressure, borderline diabetes. I felt I was a ticking time bomb of bad health waiting to explode. My family history is heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

I made some inquiries about crosstrainingfit and the biggest loser. What I was doing wan not working for me, and change was needed. I talked with trainer/owner Sylvie Hall about my options and a week later we started the 12 week biggest loser.

The biggest loser has taught me about eating habits along with good nutrition. It has also made me more aware about healthy life choices. I learned to have more patience, self discipline, and to work hard. At the end of the 12 weeks, I lost 50lbs and feel great. My health is stronger and more positive than ever before. My goal is 60lbs, I started at 248lbs.

Trainers Sylvie Hall and Megan Cofield make sure you have all the support, better health skills, and opportunities to achieve your goals. But YOU must be focused and be willing to get in the trenches and dig hard and deep, even when it hurts…no matter what. When you control your own destiny, failure is not an option. The biggest loser is a chance to lose weight and change to a better lifestyle.

Best regards, Todd Birnie

   I have been attending CV Fitness group classes for approx 7 months - have dropped 15 lbs and a couple of notches in my belt. Most importantly, my cholesterol has dropped dramatically – I have had heart work done and this was gratifying to my Doctor and me. My overall cardio has improved and I can run again - my problem knees are improving. You're never too old !

   I am 39 years old, 6'1" tall and have inherited high cholesterol and high blood pressure. In January I learned about crosstrainingfit at CV Fitness and joined for 3 months with my wife. At that time I weighed 215 pounds and was the most out of shape I have been in my life. I had never worked out in a gym and was intimidated by them. After the first 3 months of going to crosstrainingfit classes 3 times a week for 45 minutes each and with minor nutritional guidance I lowered my weight to 185 pounds. Now in August I am still 185 pounds and both my wife and I are now in the best shape of our lives. My total cholesterol and blood pressure which both were borderline requiring medication to lower (Total cholesterol was 7.0 - blood pressure was 140/ 90) are now in an optimal low risk range. (Total Cholesterol 3.96. – blood pressure 120/80)

The classes are great with a variety of size, shape, sex and age of people. Anybody can do these classes and could easily get the same results I did.

   Group classes, 'at CV Fitness', is the ultimate solution for the working mother. You get the best possible workout in under an hour.

Working out with a group makes it fun. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend (these classes) to everyone. Within a week you will notice results that keep you hooked.
