_________________________________________________________________________________________
I joined TLAC in January 2011. A friend told me about her experience with Ian and the variety of classes, so I thought I would give it a try. I had always been athletic growing up, but two kids and one broken leg later, I was at my heaviest, low energy, and just unhappy. I started walking and participating in the group power class and loved it, but found I needed something more. I met Ian McGriff, the fitness director, and he said he would work with me. I was scared and skeptical…mainly because of the pain in my leg and fear of not being able to do what was asked of me. Ian’s words were, "I won’t ask you to do anything I don’t think you can do.” So, I trusted him and boy am I glad I did. Fast forward ten weeks later, I was almost 20 lbs. lighter and lost 15 inches of my body AND back to running. That was just two times a week with Ian plus his homework and guidance. Fast forward one year later, and I am one strong woman! I do the group functional class and can push myself to do things I never thought possible! I’ve had the chance to work out with Megan, Michele, John, and Danny. Everyone is wonderful (I would be one of those people on the "Biggest Loser” that would cry and complain that they took away my trainer!) Everyone takes the time to offer advice on nutrition, fitness, personal well being, and how to overcome plateaus. They truly care about your input and what you need to be your absolute best! The whole staff, from the front desk to the trainers, treats you like a friend. It’s like "Cheers” only a gym version J Thanks to everyone!!

"My transformation at TLAC was so much better than I expected and the program was better than I could have anticipated. Every
part of my body has been an improvement and I've lost two pant sizes
and 25 pounds in just 3 months! The staff is so warm and friendly, the
trainers know how to push you and inspire you, it's been a great
experience."

My name is Teresa, I am 27 years old. I have been a member of
Tipton Lakes Athletic Club for 1 year. From the first moment I walked in
the door at TLAC I was overwhelmed with how friendly everyone was.
Megan, the receptionist greeted me with a smile, she was very
informative about the club, she showed me around the facility, and she
helped me sign up for a two week free trial. She also gave me a welcome
book that was very helpful. During my trial period, I found the same to
be true with everyone including the members. The staff is very
approachable and knowledgeable. They treat you with respect and are
non-judgmental. You don't always see this attitude in other fitness
clubs. The atmosphere is amazing, it is the friendliest fitness club
that I have ever belonged to, and this is why I decided to join. After I
completed my first 20 sessions of group training, I had lost 19 pounds
of weight, 20 pounds of body fat! And 5 inches from my waist! WOW! All
that in just 10 weeks. That doesn't even begin to show you how much
better I felt. I am more energetic, I have a higher self-esteem, and I
am happier. I also was running! By the end of the 10 weeks, it was
amazing! I highly recommend TLAC to anyone, and if you are someone who
feels like you need more help, stop by and see Ian McGriff. I know for a
fact that he will help you set your goals and come up with a way for
you to reach them.

"I
didn’t really realize how different I looked until I saw those pics side by
side on Facebook. I’m pretty amazed with myself. I have never been
a person that liked going to the gym and couldn’t ever get into a
routine. For some reason in January of 2011 something clicked for me and
I knew I had to change something. I was unhappy with how I looked and
felt. My size 12s were getting extremely tight and there was no way I was
buying a size 14. My goal was to lose 20lb and be back in my size 10s
that had been at the top of my closet for over 4 years. I got into a routine
and was down my 20lb and in my size 10's by May 2011 with regular exercise and
nutrition. I was thrilled. But my routine was getting stagnant and I was
beginning to get bored with my gym effort. That is when I went to TLAC
looking for new exercises.They put me into the semi-private
training. I figured I would do it for a month then go it alone
again. No sir, after the month I was ADDICTED. I loved working out
with Michele and enjoyed the camaraderie of the other people in the
group. When Quentin came along I was skeptical as he was a new trainer
and I loved Michele. He has proved to be a great trainer also.
People have changed up in the group some but it has always been a blast.
I often complain during the session but it is all in good fun.I am
totally addicted.I far exceeded my expectations of 20lb and size
10. I lost 37lb and am now a size 6!!!! I’m thrilled. Thanks
to TLAC for pushing me. I’m very proud of myself and hope that I can
inspire other people to do the same."
