"When I first started working with Nancy, she taught me about the relationship between my heart rate, my exertion level and my fitness level. She gave me training heart rate guidelines, taught me interval training techniques and showed me how to make measurable goals for burning calories and my heart rate. Setting goals pushes me to beat them. If I am going to do 30 minutes on the cross trainer, it’s better to burn 300 calories than 150! I feel very excited and accomplished when I know I have killed my goal. It’s like a game, and it keeps me coming back for more. The best part is how much more relaxed and de-stressed I feel at the end of the day.”
“When my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and on the road to major health issues, I knew I needed to make changes in my life. I turned to CustomFIT because they offered services geared to both fitness and healthy eating. In addition to providing education and building new skills, Nancy helped me implement a system of goal setting. Seeing what I was accomplishing helped keep me motivated. Nancy re-enforces that a ‘set back is a set up for a comeback’, and now I do a much better job of getting back on track when any personal challenges come up. My doctor and friends are impressed with the progress I have made and I am enjoying my new lifestyle!”
“When people ask me how I lost my weight and kept it off, I tell them it wasn’t a diet. Education is the key! Education to allow me to make good choices whether I’m eating at home, in a restaurant, or when traveling. Education to allow me to make the most out of an hour at the gym. Education to help me lose the desired weight and to successfully keep it off. Working with Nancy King / CustomFIT educated me to successfully achieve my goals!”
”For the past couple of weeks, I have been getting the same question, ‘What are you doing? You look like you are losing weight.’ I am happy to be able to answer ‘Yes, I am.’ I have lost 24 pounds with Nancy’s help. I first started with Nancy to help me learn my way around the gym floor. As my confidence grew, I enlisted her help to improve my eating habits. I started keeping a food journal and I am now much more aware of the foods I am eating. I have taken ownership of my actions. I don’t use the excuse, “Oh, I had a bad day so I am going to eat whatever I want”. Instead I think, “Wow I had a great workout today so why ruin it with bad choices”! I am thrilled to be down twenty four pounds, and I am confident I will continue to achieve more as I apply the skills Nancy has taught me.”
"When I started with Nancy, I was an overweight Pepsi addict, with bouts of “trying to get back in shape” that came every few months and lasted a few days at best. When Nancy sat me down, and showed me exactly how much sugar I was consuming with me soda habit, I was shocked. This was a real eye opener, and helped me WANT to get off the soda. When Nancy introduced me to the FitBit, I began to flourish, running my first 5k road race and dropping 12 pounds. With her subtle prompting and positive attitude, Nancy never gave up on me, despite my sometimes inconsistencies. I could never have come this far without her.”
“Nancy taught me how to make good food choices and be aware of my portions. With her help I learned how to be aware of what I am putting in my body and that feeding it healthy food feels so much better than feeding it junk out of boredom. She is a great cheerleader and will encourage you and motivate you to work towards the strong, healthy person she knows you can be. I am very grateful for her expertise and kind, supporting words that helped me love my body again.”
“Settled and pudgy…that’s how I felt. Joining a gym seemed to be a good idea. However, after three months of what I thought were good workouts and an improved diet, my body wasn’t changing. I called CustomFIT and met with Nancy. Although my diet wasn’t “bad”, Nancy showed me where improvements could be made. I made a few easy changes that did not leave me feeling deprived. Nancy also taught me how to get more from my workouts She helped me design a weight training program that accomplished both strength training and efficient caloric expenditure. I learned interval training techniques to spice up my cardio workouts. Not only am I burning more calories, I have more stamina! I have been in other weight loss programs, but Nancy presents information in a way that makes it fun and interesting. What started as a “program” has become a way of life! ”
”It was the spring of 2009 when I received my diagnosis of breast cancer. It was a difficult road to walk but I am fortunate to be coming up on my third year cancer free. Happy as I was with my prognosis, I was tired, unmotivated and I knew my body weight was reflecting the inconsistencies in my diet and exercise.
I needed a coach, someone who would be understanding but give me the structure I needed to help me set and reach my goals. Nancy helped me tweak my eating and workouts so I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I learned how to make healthy choices in a way that I didn’t yearn for “bad” foods. Nancy also taught me the value of interval training. I now get more out of my cardio workouts. I enjoy it more, do it more and accomplish more. In three months I have reduced my body fat by twelve per cent. I am sixty three years old and I have never felt better!”
“Dieting and eliminating foods didn’t work for me, but with Nancy and CustomFIT, I learned how to control what I really wanted. I didn’t have to give foods up. Making small changes and smarter decisions, is what made me lose the weight…and feel great!”
“I thought losing weight after my pregnancy would be easy, I was wrong! I was back to exercising, but the scale wasn’t budging. Nancy convinced me to take a closer look at my eating. I realized that foods I thought were “healthy” had more sugar, fat and calories than I thought. Now I look at my food labels and my portions. Nancy helped my find foods that I really like, that are satisfying and healthy! For me, exercise came easy. But Nancy showed me that Weight Management begins when you know what actually goes in your mouth! Thank you Nancy for all your great tips and patience!”
"With Nancy at CustomFIT, I am more aware of my mindless eating. She has helped me understand my portions and helped me find better choices when dining out with friends. Nancy has also improved my workouts, making them more efficient and productive. Being aware is key to weight loss success.”
