Laurie’s daughter-in-law had been coming here for seven or eight years. Laurie watched what happened to her, decided to try it herself, and started showing up at 5:00 a.m.
One of the biggest questions she had was whether or not it was too late in life to begin strength training. Laurie started at 58 and loved the way it made her feel.
Now she can deadlift 200 pounds which makes picking up a case of water at the grocery store seem easy. That wasn’t true before she started training with us.
She’s been doing things outside her comfort zone ever since. Here’s Laurie’s story in her own words.
Why I Joined
“Hi, my name is Laurie and I’m 58. I started at No Limits Fitness through my daughter-in-law, who’s been coming here for I think seven or eight years, and she has totally transformed. It was very encouraging.“
Doing Things Out of My Comfort Zone
“Coming to the gym has really, really helped me do things out of my comfort zone. The coaches, and especially Mike, he’s very encouraging and he’s always like, “You can do this.”
The Results
“I’ve never deadlifted anything before, and I can deadlift 200 pounds. Because of the conditioning, I can actually jog again, which I couldn’t do for many, many years. I can lift cases of water and it’s not a struggle. I just lift that up and put it in my wagon.“
They Hold You Accountable
“Joining this gym, they hold you accountable. If you schedule a session and you don’t show up for that session, you’re getting a text message and they want to know why you’re not here. They’re also very encouraging, and they really, really train you really well on how to use the proper techniques to do your lifting weights and everything else here.“
What Exceeded My Expectations
“The thing that’s exceeded my expectations since joining here is it’s such a family atmosphere with the coaches and the sessions. I came here at 5:00 a.m. every time, and it’s always the same people, and everybody’s just so encouraging. I love it here.“
My Advice
“Anybody on the fence about doing this, do it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Don’t hesitate.”
Laurie was 58 and had never picked up a barbell or done structured strength training. Getting stronger and having more energy has significantly improved her quality of life.
