My daughter "forced" me to talk to the owners of Zenrock about three months before her wedding. I was planning on fitting into the tuxedo I had only bought 2 years before but had not made progress toward that goal. I had never felt that personal trainers served a purpose and was sure that my willpower would get me to where I needed to be. Yet here I was 14 pounds heavier with no real direction and the clock steadily ticking. I was immediately put at ease by the demeanor and personality that both Michael and Petra exude. We talked about my fitness goals but focused more on what had gotten me to this state. I agreed to give it a shot for a few weeks and figured that the worst that could happen was that I would actually workout. There was no way I was stopping at the end of the two weeks! With a few diet tweaks and a different approach to working out, I was not only starting to see gains, but I was FEELING better. I chose to see the 3 months out and added a few more goals in addition to just fitting in the tux. I missed a few sessions with Mike due to out of town business meetings and scheduled a make up session with Petra thinking that I would at least get a workout in. 55 minutes later I called it quits before the end of the session. I was completely worn out and fully educated in the many different ways to work ones body. Pose after pose mixed in with strength exercise after strength exercise left me gasping for air and reaching for my pride. We did a few more cool down stretches (didn't I say I quit) and walked a bit further until my heart rate had returned to normal. I felt GREAT. I was tired only minutes before! Needless to say, I not only fit into my tux but many of the other clothes I had grown out of since I began to travel. Thank you Zenrock!
Pros: Personality and knowledge
Cons: None! I can't wait for the new facility!
