"Growing up, I was a petite girl. Of course, as you grow older, have kids, and take on responsibilities, life starts to change. I had my first child in which I didn’t stay with too much weight after birth (167 pounds down to 135 pounds). But I was not eating healthy and I started to gain weight. I tried multiple times in joining different gyms in which I only lasted for about three months. I wasn't focused nor committed, and also was having problems in balancing work, family, errands, and the gym. So I gave up! I had my second child five years later in which, after birth, I weighed 160 pounds and was extremely unhappy. I wasn’t happy in my skin and it worried me as this affected me mentally and physically.
I heard of NJ Fitness Factory through my sister-in-law who challenged me to join a six-week program back in August of 2017. And let’s just say challenge accepted! Each fitness training instructor is amazing! I didn’t feel as if I was going to the gym to be judged or seen as a “client." The instructors became my friends, people who care and laugh with me and make the workout experience fun! Yes, you heard me right — fun! I have decided to go five or six days a week for the past eight months and not once regretted going! I have been able to balance work, family, and health. Thank you, NJ Fitness Factory, for not only being my go-to gym but for also being an important part of life!"
