How long have you been working out with Chuck and Bianca?
Michele: I have been working out with Chuck and Bianca since Thanksgiving of 2010. I started working out 2 days a week and increased to 3 days a week after the holidays since I loved it so much.
Cathy: I have been working out with Chuck and Bianca for 4 months. My son and husband have both started out with them as well and love it.
What are some of the advantages to working out with PF4YOU compared to a local gym?
Michele
ersonally, there are so many advantages to working out with PF4YOU. I have an extremely busy schedule, so time is a precious commodity. My workout hour 3x a week is sacred! In the past, I would always make excuses as to why I couldn’t get to the gym. You are just a body going in and doing your own thing. No one is going to say, “Where were you today. We missed you. How are you doing?” At PF4YOU I get a high intensity workout maximizing my time and get that personal feel that I have come to value.
Cathy:I feel it is important to be a role model to my children and show them that exercise is an important part of our lives. With childhood obesity so prevalent in our society, I want to make sure my kids know how to be healthy and make healthy choices.
Both of you have family members that also work out with us here at our studio, how
important is it to have a fit family?
Michele: I feel awesome after my workout. I always heard about the endorphin kick from exercise but never felt it before. My energy level has definitely increased. I see big improvements in my core body strength and toning. Before starting with PF4YOU, I was seeing a physical therapist for elbow tendonitis and discouraged with my progress. After a month of working out with Chuck and Bianca, my upper body strength has really improved and elbow tendonitis almost fully recovered.
Cathy: We need to lead by example and one way of doing that is working out as a family. We belong to a local gym but I find it mundane. Working out with Chuck and Bianca in a small group is fun, motivating, challenging and best of all, I have seen results!
What are some benefits that you feel post workout and have you noticed improvements with your fitness, mobility and strength?
Michele: The small workout group is a major bonus! There are many times I feel like giving up and Chuck , Bianca or Cathy ( my friend and workout buddy) will say, ” Come on Michele almost there. You can do it” I’ll reach for the 15 pound kettle bell and Chuck will say ” Come on Michele you are ready for 20 pounds” Bianca and her smile somehow can convince me I have enough energy for 1 more circuit. I feel like a million bucks after working out.
Cathy: I feel the best I have in a long time. I fit in pants I have not worn in years! I am flexible, strong and have a lot of energy. I look forward to my workouts like never before.
A 5k is somewhere in the near future for both of you, how excited are you both knowing that you will have the fitness to have a great race?
Michele: I turn 40 in April. It was my goal to turn 40 feeling good about myself and fit enough to run a 5k. I’ve never been a runner. It is still a little scary thinking the race is coming up soon. I feel confident that Chuck and Bianca are getting me ready to achieve my goal. It’s going to feel amazing crossing the finishing line.
I can’t say enough about Chuck and Bianca. They are a great couple and you can tell how much they love what they do. Chuck and Bianca have changed my life for the better.
Cathy: My workout partner and friend and I are getting ready to run our first 5k and we would have never been this fit and prepared if it weren’t for the training we received from Chuck and Bianca. They are the best!
