We love feedback. Here are some great success stories.

At NRG 4 Life Fitness in Uxbridge, our clients have experienced great results. Realizing their fitness goals proved to be fun, empowering and achievable for these great men and women. Take a moment and read about their successes! Their hard work has paid off and they are all enjoying their new, fit bodies. We congratulate you all on your efforts! You are an inspiration. 

If you have a story to share, let us know. We will gladly feature your own success story right here. 

Everyone has a different path that brings them to the point of needing to change. I hope that my words may encourage you to look at your health at this moment and if you are not happy, to reach out for help to create a new path. This is what I did when I found myself unhappy and at my heaviest weight in September 2020.
My friends at NRG 4 Life for a new fitness plan. I needed some motivation. This pandemic had created a lot of anxiety and I was not looking after myself like I had been before. I have been an NRG member since Bootcamp at Elgin Pk, in 2005. I just needed a more concrete path so I could become a healthier version of Jose!
Sarah suggested a combination of nutrition and fitness. I signed up for her “get on track” healthy eating program and twice a week personal training. The latter gives you a complementary membership which is a fantastic value! With the membership, I am able to attend any of their group fitness classes. I love being able to enjoy a variety of cardio including spin (which I really enjoy!), muscle conditioning etc and even yoga. The latter is great cross training and really keeps me relaxed and feeling limber. All the classes are full of camaraderie and the instructors truly care! As participants, we are always given many options and encouraged to work at our own pace.
I have to say as well that I am thoroughly enjoying all the wonderful food choices and Sarah‘s meal plans. I have learned so much and find the recipes both simple and delicious! Eating healthy can be sustainable – no more yo yo’ing. It is not a diet where we go on and off. It’s about understanding our previous old habits and why we should make healthier choices. By replacing old habits with better ones, we can all learn to change. It takes discipline, however, now I have the framework and the tools, I know I can continue.
Often at my age, (and at all ages) many people give up on their fitness goals for one reason or another or they just “let themselves go”. Before we know it, we are in a rut.
I have lost over 35 lbs and know I can continue reaching my goals. Remember, we only go around once in our lives. With patience and hard work you will achieve your dreams and health goals! “You can’t go back and change the beginning, however, you can start where you are and change the ending“. My advise is to always believe in ourselves and never ever give Up!
Jose A, Uxbridge
Since the start of the pandemic, I have lost 42 lbs and regained my confidence by taking charge of my health.
I focused on 10 lbs at a time. At my starting point,I was not feeling good about myself. I had no energy, I was uncomfortable and lacked self esteem. I knew I wanted to make a change and I always believe that you must move in the direction of the things you want to accomplish.
I have my own travel business and work from home, sometimes sitting at my computer for 12-14 hours a day. I had been a bootcamp participant many years ago with Sarah and Terry at Elgin Park however, I let life get in the way and fell off track.
I remembered the camaraderie, fun and how good I felt with NRG, so I decided to make a fresh start a few years later with my husband. We joined the gym and Terry worked with us, designing a personalized program for us.
I joined Team NRG as I realized that sitting at my desk all the time was not the best environment for me to achieve my goals. I knew putting myself in the positive environment at NRG 4 Life would inspire me! Sarah helped me along the way, always supportive and encouraging. I knew she believed in me. I just had to believe in myself!
I understand what it’s like to be able to only do a few push ups and barely able to do a plank because you’re holding up more body weight. I know what it’s like to say “tomorrow I will start, and I won’t eat or drink that”, only to do it again the next day and beat myself up over it. I also know now how to overcome these challenges.
I have learned so much on this journey and have surprised myself even by recently successfully completing my Canfitpro Fitness Instructor Specialist Certification. Now, I want to share what I have learned with others and if I can inspire someone else that would be great.
Of course, I still have work to do but if I keep moving towards what I want to achieve I know I will get there. See you again at NRG soon!
Karen L, Uxbridge
I had hit a low point in my life, and realized that the only thing I really had control of was myself, and that I needed to start taking better care of myself, both physically and mentally. Deciding to make a lifestyle change is the easy part, actually following through and making the changes happen is a different story…
I decided to try out a few gyms to find a good fit for me, and by coincidence (or fate!), I arrived at NRG (AND met my future neighbours!)
NRG is an extremely welcoming and supportive gym, with dedicated and motivating trainers pushing you every step of the way. The people I have met are kind, encouraging, full of energy, and just overall welcoming to a new face.
I signed up for personal training with Sarah twice a week. Her training style, along with so much variety, is amazing, never a dull moment! She’s also taught me a great deal about nutrition (e.g., healthy/organic food choices, FODMAP, supplement advice, importance of diet and sleep) She keeps me motivated and supports what my mind and body need while paying close attention to proper form.
This journey has been a huge accomplishment for me, and has given me so much more confidence in my ability to achieve my fitness goals (increasing muscle tone, strength training, toning target areas).
It isn’t just the 40 lb. weight loss (but that feels pretty amazing!), I have made new friends and built relationships that I know will last a lifetime. Every time I work out, I am amazed at how much stronger I have become both physically and mentally, going to the gym is a rewarding time for both my body and mind
I know without Sarah’s personal training; I would have given up on my goal’s months ago. She has motivated me to achieve things I would never attempt on my own (I LOVE boxing!). Instead of dreading going to the gym as in the past, I’m excited and look forward to our workouts and time together. I can’t thank Sarah enough for her role in changing my life. I am truly blessed to have her and the whole NRG family supporting me!
Joining NRG has been the best thing for my confidence, health and mental well-being this year. Now I am setting new goals to work on with my fantastic trainer, specific areas to work on more (got to tone those abs and arms!) and maintaining my progress. I aim to reach exciting achievements in the months ahead!
Simone Clarkson
Even though I had been “away” from NRG 4 Life, I felt so welcomed by Sarah, Terry, the instructors (who were as encouraging as always) as well by the many familiar faces at the front desk and the members! It was like coming back home… a reminder of what “normal” used to be like. Now that we are in lockdown again, I am grateful to have the option to continue my workouts virtually through their live streamed classes.
Life has changed so much and having the gym to go to has really helped me keep sane. I’m excited to keep up the momentum right now through their large variety of live streamed fitness and yoga classes. With that said, I’m so looking forward to when we can, once again, come out of lockdown, and I am able to return again to NRG in person to use the equipment and attend the physically distanced classes!
I must admit, initially, I was a bit hesitant to start back at the gym during this crazy pandemic, however, after my first visit I felt very reassured and safe! I know it has also been a challenging time for businesses, especially small town, local ones. Thank you Sarah and Terry for doing what you do and continuing to give us members a sense of community during what has been a very difficult time.
Gaby P, Uxbridge
I began working out 17 years ago when I retired. Previous to this, I had made attempts from home, however, nothing had stuck. My nursing days created a habit of getting up early and now I come to NRG 4 Life Fitness 5 mornings a week at 6am. There’s only a few other “regulars” there and we all do our own thing respecting the new physical distancing and extra cleaning protocols. I have always found this to be the case, just more so now and I feel very comfortable.
I was miserable at the start of COVID-19 when I had to once again “go it alone” with home workouts. I was unmotivated, didn’t have the equipment like at the gym and I was very unhappy.
I was so thrilled when we were allowed to return and NRG 4 Life was able to reopen! It has been a life saver.
NRG is really a wonderful and non-intimidating place. Sarah, Terry and all the staff are always cheerful and welcoming. I think it has helped me both physically and mentally.
Carole E, Uxbridge
Linda and I are co-workers and friends. Linda was the one who said try NRG when I was hesitant to join a gym. She said NRG was a welcoming and friendly place where everyone is encouraging and supportive. We both love the classes and each instructor is top notch. Lori L, Uxbridge
Lori had mentioned to me that she would like to join a gym, but was unsure about joining one. I suggested she try NRG as I had been going on and off for approximately seven years and really liked it and how comfortable everyone makes you feel. Lori made the decision to try NRG and was really happy she did. It was Lori who prompted me to get up and get going again by asking “regularly” if I was coming with her. I’m glad she kept asking. We attend the classes together and enjoy having the company. Having a friend commit with you keeps one on track and motivated to go. On a personal note, our family had a few set-backs over the years. Terry, Sarah and their staff were so understanding and helpful during those times. When I “fell off the wagon” and got up again to get back to the gym, they welcomed me “home” with no judgment other than being happy to see me. It is a great feeling. Thank you Lori, for giving me the incentive and inspiration to get back to it and your company. Thank you Terry, Sarah and your amazing staff for all your support. It is appreciated! Linda P, Uxbridge

This has been a long, and very exciting life changing 8 weeks. I trimmed down 13 pounds and 7 1/2 inches. Although my work and family schedule did not allow for me to be with you in every VIRTUAL personal training and nutrition and wellness coaching session, I felt motivated by you all and you helped keep me on track. I feel so much better and am pleased with my overall results, and experience especially my new eating habits. Thank you and stay healthy.”
Michael G, Uxbridge
I have found over the years, I am more and more anxious around groups of people, especially a fitness class where I need to remind myself “that I am doing this for me and that is ALL that matters”. In the past, lack of confidence had been winning over my continued defeated efforts.

I know I need exercise for all the excellent physical reasons as well as for my emotional wellbeing and serenity. Discovering virtual classes and personal training has been amazing! I’m now at the front of the class so I can see and hear everything (and watch for corrections) and no one can see me!

Thank you so much to the instructors and personal trainers at NRG 4 Life! I’ve actually signed up for virtual personal training to help keep me extra accountable. My biggest tip: Don’t try to go from zero to a hundred overnight!

Melanie T, Uxbridge
As Covid hit, like many others I lost my job. I found myself sitting around and eating way too much. I was really missing the gym.

My 50th Birthday was fast approaching and at my heaviest I knew it was time to change for the better. I started doing the ‘live’ FB workouts that were being offered to everyone. Thank you so much for all the wonderful NRG 4 Life instructors that did them daily.

I applied for the Healthy Weight Loss Challenge and was so happy that I was one of the chosen participants to receive free fitness as well as nutrition/wellness coaching for the 8 weeks. I had a goal for myself and after changing my diet, I find myself eating much better and staying a lot more active. My energy level has improved drastically. Eight weeks late, I am now down approximately 20 lbs as well as several inches. As important as the numbers is the new skills I’ve learned to continue this journey. I have finally achieved a new, very healthy lifestyle and I’m loving it!

Thank you so much Sarah and Terry for all that you offer to everyone and to all the wonderful staff that have helped me along the way with the food plans and tips and the amazing workouts. I can’t wait to get back to NRG 4 Life Fitness when it is re-open during the 3rd phase of reopening during this pandemic.

Lisa B, Uxbridge.
My husband and I joined NRG 4 Life in July 2019. Right away we felt that it was the right fit for us…
We like the sense of community with the gym. The owners, the staff and the members are always greeting you with a smile and call you by your first name. Everybody takes time to listen to your exercise needs and motivates you to push yourself. We enjoy the diversity… so many classes to choose from, tons of equipment and flexible hours that fit anyone’s busy schedule. Before Covid-19 happened, I had built up to going to NRG 4 to 5 times a week (including 3 classes per week), fitting in lunch hour workouts when I had to plus I was curling 2 nights a week. Then Covid-19 hit, and I found myself sitting in front of the TV listening to the news or watching Netflix. The days turn into weeks and then a month later I realized that I didn’t have as much energy anymore and my clothes were getting tighter!!! So wake up call, I started doing a couple of online classes each week that NRG offered free through their NRG 4 Life Facebook pg plus I started walking a little more every day. Then when the Healthy Weight Loss Challenge was announced, I jumped at the chance and was delighted when chosen as one of the Challengers! What a journey it’s been in the last month…great meal plans and personal trainers that keep you motivated who are always available for questions. I’ve also made some new found friends! Sarah is always checking in and sending nice, encouraging comments. Maddy is just a breath of fresh air! Her beautiful smile is very contagious and she has so much energy, it’s unbelievable. I really enjoy all her workouts including the online small group training provided exclusively to the Healthy Weight Loss group. Stephanie is a great resource when it comes to meal plans and she always offers good tips to make this a balanced, healthy journey. Even though my weight loss is a bit slower than I’d like (I was hoping to be down 10lbs this first month, however, not quite there yet), my energy level is way up there now and I am noticing that my clothes are starting to fit a lot better. The first thing I look forward to when getting up each morning is which class will I do today? I workout 5 days a week – sometimes live classes, sometimes Facebook videos and if I miss a class I go cut the grass for 45 minutes!!! My steps have increased as well. From averaging 3000 to 4000 steps daily a month ago, I am now at about 8000 per day. My goal is to hit 10,000 steps a day. I just have to keep pushing myself.
Thank you so much NRG 4 Life for helping me out in my new found healthy journey.
Marie-Pierre Hughes, Uxbridge
My struggle with fitness began early in high school. My 6’ 2” body was not cooperating with my mind the way it should and left me very awkward. And of course, all phys ed classes those days were based on team sports. I was a real magnet for any projectile and have been hit in the head with baseballs, pucks, golf balls, basketballs, you name it! Of course my lack of coordination led to me being last chosen for teams, laughed at by classmates and yelled at by gym teachers. I much preferred cooperative activities to the competitive sports where you felt you were letting your team down if you didn’t score. It was no wonder I dropped out of phys ed classes as soon as it was possible.
Later, my career path, lead me to becoming a teacher for DDSB. The constant travelling up and down stairs, in classes, on yard duty and running school plays did a fairly good job of keeping me from becoming too overweight.
My final five years saw a move to the board office as a program facilitator. This entailed a lot more meetings, desk work and travelling to schools by car and I started to notice a deterioration in my fitness level. Just prior to retirement, there was a fire drill at the board office and when we came back inside, the trip up the stairs to the third floor left me winded and light headed. I knew I had to get active.
Upon retirement, one of my goals was to join a gym. I started at one of the big name fitness clubs in Oshawa and signed up for a personal training session. He designed a program for me and I started out with great intentions but gradually lost motivation. Navigating this alone, it was too easy to take shortcuts and cheat. I signed up for a few classes and that helped, however, the class sizes were huge and I felt invisible. In the two years I was there, there was not one staff member still there from when I started. No one stayed more than a few months.
Then we moved to Uxbridge and I found NRG4Life. This was the gym I needed. Class sizes were smaller, the staff were encouraging and always coming up with alternatives. In addition, the other members were friendly and accepting. Terry asked initially what I wanted to get out of the gym. I told him I was not looking to win any bodybuilding competitions or run a marathon. I was there to maintain the fitness level I was at currently as I got older. He completely understood and recommended some of their classes. That was seven years ago and I am still staying active and enjoying a variety of classes from circuits to Zumba, yoga to conditioning!
Two years ago, I suffered two subdural hematomas within the space of a couple months which required surgery to open my skull. I firmly believe that I was able to recover fully due in part to my years of the group fitness classes improving my overall health. I was able to return to the gym and the level of fitness I was comfortable with. I remember Neil asking how I was when I came back. I told him I was the same now as before the surgery and he replied, “That’s too bad!”. You have to laugh! I remember Sarah shaking her head at the time, however, we all knew it was tongue in cheek and that kind of friendly rapport at NRG that helps to keep me coming back!
For me, the most important part of a personal fitness journey is finding out what works for you and sticking to it. For me, I need the structure and accountability of group classes and a friendly peer group to chat with. NRG 4 Life provides that!

Due to having a stroke before I was born, I have cerebral palsy. It affected my right arm mainly and also my left leg.  I moved to Ontario 3 years ago from Cranbrook, British
Columbia to pursue horseback riding. I ride competitively in Para Dressage. After a trip to Hartpury, England to watch other Para Dressage athletes compete, I realized, my own fitness routine was not going to cut it. Last August I joined NRG 4 Life Fitness and enlisted the services of a Personal Trainer. I have been working with Neil ever since. I have enjoyed every minute! He designs programs specifically towards my needs and goals while monitoring my form constantly. Neil encourages and motivates me to always be my best! I love all the staff and people at NRG 4 Life as everyone is so easy going and friendly.  I have set a goal to compete in Denmark for the World Equestrian Games in 2022 with the Canadian Para Dressage Team. I also am driven to make the Canadian Para Dressage team and compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. I love challenges and finding ways to accomplish things that seem impossible.
Sarah Cummings, Uxbridge
I have lost weight in the past and have gained it back within the year again if not, even more weight. This time, it has been different. This March it will be four years I have kept off my weight. I lost 90 lbs and the most I have gained is 8 lbs over the past four years and that is after having four medical setbacks/surgeries.
What makes this time different than any other time you may ask? I realized you can’t just do a quick fix, a crash diet. You need to do a lifestyle change and more importantly, you need to love yourself. It is both mental and physical. I also realize everything is in moderation. I still allow myself to have a treat every once in a while but I actually enjoy them more when it is a treat.
For me I decided, if I don’t take care of myself first, I won’t be around to help my kids, my parents, my friends. It’s not selfish to take good care of yourself. I was over 240 lbs. I could hardly breath when I walked. My self-esteem was so low.
I know it’s hard to get started but I promise you, once you get started, you won’t regret it. I know if I don’t work out, I get grumpy. I love going to NRG4LIFE! The endorphins you get from working out give you increased energy and happiness.
My kids also see the change in me and are starting to eat healthier and work out. I actually hold my head up while out instead of trying to hide from the world. I am happy. I am healthy.
Sometimes it takes you to find the right combination for yourself. If working out alone isn’t helping you take the weight off, talk to a nutritionist. In my case I use MyFitness pal app. It makes me accountable for what I put in my mouth and shows me if I am eating too much of one food group. I also have found a healthy weight management coffee that curves my sugar cravings.
One of the best things you can do if you need help, reach out to a gym buddy for motivation, accountability, tips what has helped them. Everyone has their struggles so it’s nice to surround yourself with other positive people working on improving their health too. I am always willing to be your cheerleader!
Remember you are worth it and nothing tastes as good as healthy makes you feel.
Tara Rosen, Uxbridge
I am thrilled to be a new part of the NRG family and am beyond happy with my decision to be a new member of this gym.
I had major back surgery on October 3rd, 2018 to repair prolapsed discs and spinal stenosis. The original surgery went great but then I got a bad infection. They tried to drain it but failing that I had a second surgery on November 7th, 2018.
Once feeling better, I knew I needed to get this weight off and get my core stronger or my back will never be the same. I have had a life long battle with weight. Feeling depressed and sad, I ran into Taya who said I should try NRG and how special of a place it is. I was scared and skeptical as I have always been quite intimidated by gyms.
The day I came, I went into NRG and I met Sarah and Terry who welcomed me with open arms. I immediately felt welcome. Since January 1st, I have lost 21 pounds. Do I have lots more to go… absolutely, but its one day at a time and one class at a time. I absolutely love the classes and of course they are a challenge but the instructors all show amazing modifications and I can get through those classes feeling proud of myself.
My advice to anyone, especially those heavier and afraid to put yourself out there… Just go for it… push your limits… face your fears… and you can do anything!!!
I can’t thank my personal trainer Taya enough for always making me feel amazing about myself. The staff at NRG are all so kind. Alex at the front desk reminds me everyday of how amazing I am doing and that “I can do it”!!
Thank you Sarah and Terry for having such an amazing place to be able to get healthy again. The variety of classes went beyond my expectations. There truly is something for everyone!
I am so appreciative of the support from my husband, my amazing family and friends, and my new family at NRG… I will never be alone in my journey! I look forward to sharing my next weight loss with all of you!
Tracy Harper, Uxbridge
In March 2014, I quit smoking after many years of struggling to end the terrible habit. That very week, I joined NRG 4 Life at their new dream Facility that had just opened. I was also dealing with a very sick child and decided I needed to start and focus on my best health in order to cope with the overwhelming stress I was dealing with in my life. It is truly the best decision I could have made.
Not only did NRG become my home away form home, my sanctuary and pillar, both mentally and physically during the loss of both my parents in the same year, and the on going myriad of medical treatments for my daughter but the relationships that I formed with members and instructors have been incredibly motivating and continually supportive. With so many different classes available, I can choose anything from a core workout to a full body workout to a yoga class that will have both my mind and body relaxed and refocused. The momentum of the exercise has given me the strength to remove a lot of added sugar from my diet which has greatly added to my overall health and well-being!
I want to be my best person and I want to live my best life. We all deal with life’s ups and downs, no matter how up or how down they may be. Having the confidence to embrace each day with a positive and steadfast attitude is not easy, NRG 4 life has empowered me to do just that, supporting me through a pragmatic and continued commitment to myself.
To date, I am now almost 7 years a non-smoker and, I have finally reached my milestone goal; I have trimmed down three sizes and am back into the same size I was when I was 19! ~ Thank you NRG 4 Life!

Tara Learning
I started my journey at 228lbs, joining NRG in Oct 2018 at 200lbs. I was so nervous to join a gym at my size, but I had heard by many that NRG was the perfect gym for me given the welcoming staff and supportive trainers. My decision to join was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. NRG has helped me lose 48lbs (total loss 76lbs)! I’ve never been healthier and happier! I maintain a 4-6 class schedule a week, alternating between spin, step and cardio circuit classes. I have 15lbs till goal, and I have no doubt NRG will help me get there and ultimately maintain for years to come. Big Thank You to NRG4Life Fitness! I could never have achieved this goal without all of your support (including the members!)
Thank you!

I joined NRG about 11 years ago…working out in Sarah and Terry’s awesome basement studio and have been on this journey with them ever since!

NRG provides an incredible atmosphere for me and for my many gym-friends. We love the fun, non-competitive vibe (although a little competition is always good),the variety of equipment and classes, the enthusiastic instructors and the challenge … no matter your level!

Many of us battle personal issues; be they physical or mental. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting yourself to the gym. But I know that when I get there, NRG will help me find the encouragement I need.

I have made some awesome friends along the way, and I have become really fit at the same time! Haha.

Sarah and Terry…thanks for giving us a great place to hang out! And getting fit is a bonus!

The 198 lb Deb back in Jan ’18 felt terrible all the time. At that point, I tipped the scale weighing more than I did when I was pregnant with my son! It was not just the weight and the size, my arms would fall asleep when I was laying down, my heart raced, I often had pains in my chest, waking up every day with a headache, my joints ached, and I felt bloated all the time. I was dizzy, could not sleep, when I got off an airplane my feet were swollen up like balloons and even though I exercised and practiced yoga, it wasn’t as consistent as it should have been. I didn’t have the energy I needed. I even struggled to do a simple child’s pose in yoga. This was a bit of a wakeup call, however, my turning point was going for a medical and the doctor telling me I am very close to needing to take cholesterol medication, and my blood pressure was up…everything else she said was a blur….
Now you would think that would get me started watching what I was eating it sort of gave me a bit of incentive…..but I have been a yoyo dieter in the past and I knew that just does not work for me. I needed a different approach this time, one that I could sustain.
The owner of NRG 4 Life, Sarah and one of the instructors Laura and I went away on a trip together to Mexico last February. We were together for the entire trip. Their approach to healthy eating, staying active, and being positive was very contagious! The timing for me to make this turnaround couldn’t have been better. It was an “ah ha” moment for me watching them enjoy what they’re eating, not counting calories, watching portions. When they work out they enjoy, when they interact they enjoy, when they have fun on the beach they enjoy ….both of them have an energy level uncompromised. I witnessed the energy they get from something as simple as eating right (and I don’t mean they eat diet food).
Sarah taught me better healthier choices when eating. Heck, she even taught me how to navigate a 5 Star Breakfast buffet, and survive with a great meal and feel energized afterwards. I know this sounds corny but I feel like they saved my life. Not like a life and critical death situation but how eating right gives you energy and that helps you make some more positive life changes and it has snowballed from there!
I have had so much fun focusing / learning and now studying what the best food choices are for a long healthy lifestyle. I focus on what is going to benefit my energy level, when your energy level starts to rise, your activity, your attention span, your ability to think, to feel positive, all falls into place. I discovered when you have a higher energy level you want to participate in LIFE!! Going to the gym becomes a priority in life because you “can” do that child’s pose and not feel like your head is going to pop off….never mind the feeling of success when I do a sit up, a push up, and the best plank ever! The activity at the gym gives you this fantastic happy feeling when you have completed a new milestone for the day. Every teacher we have is constantly offering us up a reason to challenge ourselves and when you do, it is the BEST feeling ever.
Brenda taught me how to breathe properly when working out so I can get through my workouts more efficiently and with more ease. Who knew!! In yoga, Mary taught me how important it is to challenge our balance. She has several sneaky methods to do just that. It’s endless what the challenges at the gym offer up in the reward.
I draw from the strength of past losses, not weight, however, personal losses. Two years ago when my common-law husband came home and told me, after 23 years, our relationship was over and he had found a new life in Mexico. When this happened, initially I thought “I can handle this news”, I am a positive person who chooses to make the best out of any situation. After all I survived my husband being killed by a drunk driver when I was 36 and if I can survive that I can move on and make the most out of life no matter what. While outwardly I thought I was handling it, clearly the emotion of losing the person you thought you were happily going to grow old with was taking its toll. That toll was in the form of eating junk all the time, laying around moping, feeling sorry for myself. My friends and family were always there for me and were amazing but it does not fill the void of missing a spouse. The comfort I got in sitting/laying around eating all the wrong foods was clearly not helping either. These habits just build on worse habits. I was setting out to self-destruct at all, I was thinking “I will have this bag of cookies today and start a diet on Monday!!” This was the previous coping pattern I had adopted. It just kept snowballing.
Even though I have and had every reason to be happy I have a fantastic family and friends. I have the best career on the planet. Clearly I was not happy and I was using food as a way to cope and “protect” me from the personal losses. My body was screaming out that message, however, I didn’t see it until my trip last February.
Sarah and Terry what you are doing having your NRG 4 Life fitness centre for us in Uxbridge is helping to have a better quality of life. I would even goes as far as to say you could very well be saving lives.
In my “after” picture I weigh 138 lbs which I feel happy at as I am 5’10”. What you don’t see in that picture is, I can sleep at night, can hardly wait for a new challenge at the gym each day, and to see the staff’s happy faces and greetings at the front desk. I leave the gym with energy that lasts all day! There’s no more laying on the couch and falling to sleep at 7 PM. No longer does my heart race. My blood pressure has stabilized. I am not constantly in pain. This new version of me has had her spirit lifted to a much happier place!
That expression “you are what you eat” is absolutely true. The right choices give you energy and make you feel good. Which results in wanting to be active. Activity gives you a better quality of life. A better quality of life gives you “good” positive energy. Enjoying life every single day is my goal.
That’s my story. I hope it helps to inspire even one person…

“I have always struggled with my weight, yo yo’ing up and down for many years. I joined NRG 4 Life in February ’18 and went faithfully 4+ times a week. I started to feel really good mentally and physically but only lost 6 pounds as I was still enjoying the finer things in life – FOOD.
Within a few months, I actually managed to gain back those 6 pounds by February of ’19 and It wasn’t until my daughter Emily said “Lets do a weight loss program together” that I really started getting the results I was looking for. This time, our focus was on healthy eating along with the exercise. With this combined approach, I truly started to see a difference. I began counting calories and tracking everything I ate. It is more time consuming, especially at the beginning, however, you can quickly identify what areas to focus on. The extra effort becomes habitual and so motivating as it really pays off!
I lost 25 pounds in 11 weeks and with going to the gym 4 times a week already, the weight just fell off. I am still eating the foods I like, just half the amount that I would have normally eaten.
The staff and other gym members at NRG are so encouraging and have always made my daughter and I feel welcome. I absolutely love the cardio classes and the Saturday morning circuits.
I still have more weight to lose, however, now that I’ve found the right plan for me, I know I will get there in time. My flab is turning into fab!! :-)” Trisha H, Uxbridge

I was fairly active throughout highschool because I did karate but I stopped right after I got my second degree black belt to make school my main priority. After I stopped karate, my healthy habits started to fade away pretty quickly and it was very noticeable.
I decided it was time for me to join a gym and my mom suggested NRG 4 Life since she was already a member and has been for quite some time now.
I ended up joining NRG as a member in December of 2017 but I never really had the motivation to come to the gym on my own time. I felt intimidated and scared to workout on my own, so I wasn’t making progress which was very unmotivating. After about a month, I started personal training with Marlene, and she is a main reason why I am very passionate about fitness now. She helped me with everything starting from scratch, and I was able to start working out on my own after a short period of time. I began working at NRG in August of 2018 and I also started attending classes around that time as well to switch things up some days. I totally fell in love with them!
I can’t imagine my life without the gym now and that’s thanks to my mom as well as everyone at NRG because there is always so much love and motivation. I enjoyed being a member so much that I decided to apply for their customer service position. The rest as they say, is history! It’s so rewarding to see others making time for their fitness.
I hope to you see you at the front desk!

“A lot of people talk about the physical benefits of regular exercise but for me, the benefits stretched to include mental health. A couple of years ago, I changed my life: I retired from a 30+ year career, said goodbye to long commutes and longer hours of work; we sold our house and moved to Uxbridge. It wasn’t before long, though, that the joys of retirement started to – dare I say it? – weigh heavily on me: like anybody sampling newfound freedom, I did all the fun things: tried new restaurants, expanded my cooking skills, walked the trails and enjoyed reading books I put off for years. But it wasn’t enough; I felt as I was missing something. I’d always been active but post-retirement, it felt like the goal posts had moved.
I chose NRG because of the combination of classes and exercise equipment gave me choices in designing my exercise routine. NRG allows me to challenge myself, to set my own goals and feel a sense of accomplishment when I meet them. My exercise routine at NRG is now an essential part of my well-being and something to look forward to, and (bonus!) I can indulge in the results of my cooking without guilt!”
Susan Webb, Uxbridge
I started my weight loss journey April 2018. I knew my life had to change dramatically as I was finding it difficult to do everyday tasks like walking, stairs and enjoying time with friends and family. A friend asked me to join Weight Watchers with her and I did. When I first got on the scale I was embarrassed not only by the numbers but that my weight was what doctors would classify as obese. I took to the program quickly as it was easy to follow and did not require you to starve yourself to see results. Flash forward to October 2018… I was 30 pounds down! I was so proud of myself, however, I’d hit a plateau. I knew fitness was my next step. I checked out all the local gyms but as soon as I walked through the doors of NRG 4 Life Fitness, I knew it was the one for me. The staff and trainers have quickly become family. Everyone knew my name by the second day! I joined NRG mid October and have lost another 15 pounds (as of Dec 29) Total loss of 45 pounds!! NRG has the BEST classes. There’s so much variety that it ensures I work all the muscles in my body. The trainers and members are kind and do not judge. No matter what level you are, everyone encourages and literally cheers you on!
I still have a long journey ahead of me, however, I’m happy to be on it and I know that my NRG fam will help me stay on course!

I am turning 73 in Jan/19 and have dealt with Type II
diabetes for the last 16 years, constantly checking my blood
sugar count. I have been able to keep it in check with diet
and some exercise. However, age is becoming a factor.
During my quarterly visit to my Doctor in August, my A1C
which has a target of 7 was at 8.5. I was also complaining
about going up and down stairs. He checked me out and told
me there was the usual degeneration in the knee and hip
joints for someone my age, but I needed more MUSCLE. My
daily walk was not going to get it done. My Doctor knows me
really well as he has seen me thru Leukemia, a bone marrow
transplant and Prostate Cancer.
I finally decided it was time to take action with the state of
my health and was introduced to NRG 4 Life by a couple of
friends who are members. I joined NRG near the end of
August 2018 and with help and encouragement from Sarah
and Terry I have been able to settle into a routine in the gym
that has helped me a lot. I was struggling with a strain in the
rotator cuff of my left shoulder that was playing havoc with
my golf game. They started me off using a number of the
machines with very light weights. I have progressed to the
point where I have added weight to the routine and am
starting to see some tone for some of the muscles in my
shoulders and arms and adding a bit of muscle to my legs. It
is exciting to FEEL the change. I can’t wait to check things
out on the golf course!
What is even better, on my Dec visit to the Doctor my A1C
had dropped to 7.6 which was significant movement – first
time under 8 in a year and a half!
NRG has proven to be an easy addition to my health routine.
Sarah and Terry and their staff always greet you warmly and
provide lots of encouragement during your visit. I am really
looking forward to more improvement in 2019.
Thanks Sarah and Terry!

Brandon and Beau are proof that the “buddy system” works for staying motivated with exercise! We are happy to recognize you both for your consistency and hard work! The excellent form you both demonstrate as well as respective gym etiquette to others is something that does not go unnoticed by the staff and your fellow members.
“NRG 4 Life Fitness has provided a comfortable and friendly workout environment with all the tools necessary to effectively rehab injuries, improve overall health/wellbeing and achieve personal fitness goals. With the help of a consistent workout partner in Brandon, we have been able to stay focused and push each other towards our individual goals. Thanks to Brandon for staying motivated! And thanks to the entire NRG 4 Life staff as well as Sarah/Terry for the recognition! – Beau K, Uxbridge
“I’ve been coming to NRG 4 Life Fitness for almost four years now, and I couldn’t be happier. Terry, Sarah, and the whole staff are all so friendly, and greet you with such big smiles! The gym provides a great place to get fit and stay healthy by offering an array of classes, help, and necessary equipment. Having a consistent work out partner in Beau has helped motivate me, while also pushing me to not only meet my personal goals, but surpass them as well. Thank you Sarah, Terry, and the whole NRG Team for creating such a friendly environment, and a place I look forward to go to everyday!” – Brandon W, Uxbridge

I joined NRG when learning I was pregnant. I wanted a place to go and stay fit in the winter months. I’m so happy to become a part of NRG! The staff are so friendly and motivating as well as the members. The classes are really fun with amazing instructors. They always kept my pregnancy in mind offering alternative pregnant safe exercises. It felt great during my entire pregnancy I was able to workout right up to the day I delivered my baby boy.
Now 6 weeks later we (my baby and I) were able to get back at they gym with Baby Bootcamp! I’m really looking forward to getting back at it with the great people and staff at NRG. I joined initially as an alternative to running outside. I just wanted to stay fit by working out myself, however, I’ve ended up meeting so many great people and friends and attend a lot of classes now (as well as just my own workouts). After only a few days at NRG I realized what an amazing motivating place it was that made working out enjoyable and fun and not just something to “get over” with. NRG 4 Life is truly a place I look forward to going to!

If you want to improve yourself all you have to do is start.
I started with 20 minutes of walking once a week, gradual small changes led me to a better diet, a structured exercise plan and now I’ve lost 80lbs.
Anyone can do it just take it slow and find what works for you.

A Dream Comes True: Terry and Neil spent 6, one hour personal training workout sessions with me. I wanted to strengthen my legs and arms for the challenges that I would face at Space Camp for Educators in Huntsville, Alabama. Terry put me through a variety of exercises while Neil encouraged me to work to my limit and slightly beyond! While my main goal was to increase my physical strength, I noticed my confidence level increased with each workout too. By the time I reached the Space & Rocket Center, I felt confident. As each day unfolded with different physical and intellectual challenges, I gave 110%. I did every activity and tried every challenge. Ever since I was 8 years old, I dreamt of experiencing anything related to prepping for outer space. At Space Camp, I experienced simulated missions using the space shuttle while in the control room to insure a successful mission. From the end of June until July 2, 2018, my dream came true. Thank you, Terry, Neil and NRG 4 Life Fitness for helping me achieve a childhood dream. (Photo from Stephen Wright of Wright Web & Photo)

My wife and I joined NRG 4 Life Fitness at the beginning of January this year based on the recommendations of two friends who are also members. We were impressed by the dedication and genuine enthusiasm of the staff, especially the course leaders, Terry and Sarah. My goal was to achieve a much improved level of fitness, and to knock off at least 25 lbs. So far, so good. My wife consulted a nutritionist through NRG 4 Life Fitness, and we were given an excellent meal program that encourages healthy and nutritious weight loss to accompany our workouts. Taking a long term approach has been one of the keys to success; taking inspiration from fellow class members has been sustaining, and the workout leaders are outstanding. I never knew that you could do so much on a BOSU!! I am very glad that we have joined, and i look forward to ALL the classes that I attend, and to progressively higher levels of fitness.

My journey towards a healthier lifestyle started on December 27th 2017. Although I previously ran half marathons and enjoyed the benefits associated with healthy eating, I fell of track. I was looking after everyone else except myself. With years of shift work, caring for aging parents and an active social calendar my weight had crept up to 215 pounds. As a nurse, I knew my BMI was in the obese category on my 5”4 frame. I was becoming short of breath and was suffering from terrible heartburn. I was miserable! I knew it was only time before I would be on medication for diabetes, high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. I’ll be 50 in August and decided that enough was enough. We are given only one body and need to take care of it. It was an epiphany. Time to get serious! Now that I’m 40 lbs lighter, I know I have the tools and determination to trim down another 20 lbs. I thank the constant encouragement from my “NRG Family” for keeping me motivated to. The Amazing Race Members Motivation program is a great example of this.
I recommitted to working out more diligently and decided to start by introducing lean proteins, fresh fruit and vegetables into my diet. I avoid (bad) fats and stay away from food with little nutritional value. I have a real passion for food so spend time creating delicious recipes using herbs and spices. Being prepared is key! It’s so easy to grab food that has little value when not prepared. I spend a lot more time shopping and chopping! It’s worth it.
NRG 4 Life, Sarah and Terry have provided our community with the most incredible venue to help us achieve our goals. Terry’s warmth and smile, even at 5:30 a.m. make NRG a pleasant place to go. Sarah always has nutritional tips and enjoys sharing recipes. She is devoted to her clients and is certainly an inspiration to all. I must add that Sarah and Terry employed our daughter at NRG. She learned so much and enjoys the benefits of exercise and healthy diet due to their positive influence. I am forever grateful.
I thoroughly enjoy the spin classes that are offered throughout the day and evening. Each instructor offers a different style with various type of music I enjoy them all. Brenda, Marlene and Dean are so motivating! Neil and Taya, I can’t thank you enough for your support and motivation. My goal is to continue on this plan, attend more classes and enjoy the benefits associated with physical fitness and health!
Donna B.
I have been a part of the NRG 4 Life family since it was in Terry and Sarah’s home studio many years ago. My journey with them began at a low point in my life so as a gift to myself I signed up for personal training with Sarah. Training led to a boost in my energy levels, my strength and most importantly my self esteem which ultimately gave me the courage to sign up for 3-5 classes a week. If only I had known earlier how important these classes would become, the friendships that I would make, the camaraderie among people just like myself. I was not alone in my struggle to gain better health!!
Over the years as my strength and endurance improved I still struggled with my weight until I had one of those “AH HA” moments brought on by the sudden illness and eventual passing of my Father last year. I realized that most of his health problems could have been eliminated entirely by making healthier nutritional choices. I made those changes along with my continued exercise and support at NRG I’m happy to say that I look and feel better than I have in years. Every day has its challenges but I have the tools to overcome them now. My journey is not over but is oh so much more enjoyable!!! Thanks NRG !!!!😊
Laurie S.
I started my journey in sept of 2016 after another visit to my doctor with her telling me
that on top of high blood pressure, sleeping with a Cpac machine, bad knees, now I was borderline diabetic.
Her advice to me was that “I could let life control my health or I could control my health”.
those simple words were what made me realize enough was enough.
I have been on weight loss regimes several times over my life, up and down many times. But the difference this time was that I was going into for my health and not my looks.
To be honest, what I needed to do was simple, but as we know that is always easier said than done. So eat more vegetable, fruit and sources of protein. Stay away from processed foods and unhealthy fats. Plan my meals and follow an 80/20 rule, trying to be good 100% of the time is a set up for failure.
Then of course exercise. I moved to Uxbridge in May of 2017, was down 75 pounds but on a plateau. My sister-in-law Laura introduced me to NRG 4 life fitness. The gym offered a wide variety of classes with varying time options. I’m not a free weight user myself, I need the guidance and motivation of an instructor.
10 months since joining the gym, at my goal weight 120 lbs lighter, have tons of energy, muscle definition and new friends. I can’t thank the NRG4life team enough for their help, guidance and fun times!
Darlene B.
I can’t quite express how much I appreciate this gym. It’s actually a lot more than a gym; NRG4Life is a community.
I joined at the end of March 2017 after years of going gym to gym. Before I came to NRG 4 Life I would stick with it until I lost a few pounds but without much motivation and lack of resource and personnel, there was never anything keeping me there or making me want to be there.
Starting with the atmosphere when you walk in the doors, NRG4Life has assembled a team of friendly and welcoming people who smile and greet you as if you’ve been friends for years. I’ve never felt uncomfortable asking any of the front staff anything and have never been made to feel silly or stupid.
While the first class might feel like the first day of school, each and every trainer/instructor goes out of their way to make sure you know what you’re doing and that you feel comfortable, all without singling you out.
As you become more familiar with the instructors (and they become more familiar with you), the more able they are to help you reach all of your goals. I can’t thank Taya and Neil enough for always encouraging me to go harder, push myself further and get the most out of my time at the gym.
What NRG4Life has helped to me realize is that physical fitness is journey. It isn’t about what the scale says or the number of muscles you can see. It’s about how you feel both physically and mentally.
Ray W.
After a tough year in 2016 (both mentally and physically) I decided to take my health and well-being into my own hands. I started making time in my schedule for fitness classes at NRG, and even scheduled in some 1 on 1 training to get a program that worked for me. The process took time, hard work and dedication but with 1 year between these two photos I successfully have released 40 pounds! Not only have I gained a fitter, stronger, and physically healthier body, but I have gained self-esteem and joy I hadn’t seen in myself for quite some time. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to get back into my workouts at NRG 4 Life, embraced the struggles along the way, and joined me on this lifestyle change so I didn’t have to do it alone!
Danielle M.
“My weight loss journey truly began in March 2017. I had been going to NRG4Life a couple of times a week starting back in October 2016 after a friend encouraged me to attend personal training sessions with her. During those initial few months, Veronika stressed how important making changes to my lifestyle, most importantly my diet, would be to weight loss. I listened, but never made any of the necessary changes I needed to. I came to our sessions twice a week, she would work me extremely hard (as anyone who has had her would know :P), and that was it; I would go home and continue on with my current lifestyle. It wasn’t until March, when I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted to, that I made those changes. I signed up for bootcamp in the mornings with Veronika & Sarah and continued attending PT sessions twice a week with Veronika. I also made some significant changes to my diet and that was when I really started to see results. (On a side note, I do still indulge in some of my favourite foods, i.e. pizza and chicken wings, as if I eliminated everything I loved to eat I would have found it much harder to stay on track).
It has now been six months and I’ve reached my first weight loss goal, to lose 40 pounds. There are very few words I could find to describe how I am currently feeling about reaching this first goal. It has been a long and hard journey with many ups, downs, and plateaus to get to where I currently am, but I am absolutely thrilled with my progress and there is no way I would have ever made it to this point if it weren’t for Veronika, Sarah, Terry and all my fellow bootcampers! Everyone is always so supportive, positive and full of energy first thing it the morning that I couldn’t imagine starting my day any other way. My journey is far from over as there is always progress to be made. My next goal on this adventure is to complete the Scotiabank Half-Marathon in October.”

Erika M.
Update – Erika has continued to stay consistent with her lifestyle change and completed her goal of running the ScotiaBank Half Marathon in October and even beat her goal time by 3 minutes! Way to go Erika!
I began my weight loss journey in November when I retired from a pretty sedentary management position of 38 yrs. I walked in to NRG 4 Life and felt immediately comfortable as the staff were friendly and helpful plus I saw a variety of people and ages. Since then, I have released almost 30 lbs. More important than the weight, however is the extra energy I have and how much easier it is for me to carry on daily chores in the garden and around the house. Fifteen years ago, I had a knee replacement from playing sports in my youth. I knew I needed to strengthen the muscles around my knees and to get some weight off to extend the life of my knees.
In the past, I’d only ever lifted weights for fitness, however, it was suggested by Terry, as soon as I joined, that I do cardio activity too to strengthen my heart and lungs and to kick the fat burning into gear. I started off at 2 MPH on the treadmill and now I’m up to 4 and I also “play with the levels” as Sarah suggested, doing intervals of increased speed and incline which ensures I don’t plateau. I still enjoy lifting weights and I know this along with less eating out is the combined approach to help trim the inches. I enjoy spending time at NRG as I know I’m doing something good for myself unlike others my age who turn into coach potatoes and get older before their time. I’ve never been afraid to challenge myself and now that I’m fitter I can ride my bike for up to 40 km’s at a time!

“NRG 4 Life is a great place! I Love the classes and the instructors. A common thread I hear at NRG is: Health, Happiness + getting fit starts in the mind…..it’s up to us basically. I’m so fortunate to be able to participate, have fun and feel so much better.”
Marj Scott.
I’ve been a member of a couple of facilities over the years, and let me tell you, you guys do stand out in my opinion. This may seem like small trivial thing, but when I see you and/or Terry, you always say hello by using my name! What a personal touch… I feel welcomed every time that happens. Also, soooo happy that there are a variety of classes that I can attend… I am very much enjoying the facility, classes and people (staff and members!). One of the best decisions I made lately… wished I joined sooner! 🙂
Gaby C.
I lost a significant amount of weight 10 years ago and have kept it off. I love the energy I have from working out regularly – doing weights and cardio along with eating healthy. When it comes to being healthy and fit, you truly have to want it – to want to change. It means adjusting your lifestyle. Even if you don’t have full support from family, you need to keep working out and making healthy eating choices for you.
People will start asking how you’re trimming down and that’s encouraging. Changes shouldn’t be drastic, especially if you want them to stick. They see my results and they might be more encouraged to try to be healthy too! It’s about fitting it in around the family’s schedule. Use Windows of time. Adapt if you have to. I’ve learned to prioritize myself and know this is ok and what has to be done to be healthy.
It’s about tweaking the little things – eating more healthy carbs for example (greens) and less white unrefined carbs. Eating protein at every meal is important as well is very important. When it comes maintaining your workouts, remember you will have days that you aren’t as motivated to go to the gym, and that’s where NRG 4 Life comes in. There’s always a friendly face and fun challenges in place for us members to make it easier to keep going! I always leave feeling glad that I made the effort and have more energy. I love this feeling.
Michele H.
Thanks Sarah, Terry and your staff. What you have created at NRG really works. Joining your fitness centre has been one of the best choices I have made in life. I appreciate you all so much and I have made many friends as well. I look forward very much to the ongoing positive experience!
Alec L.
I finished my first 5k race with a new personal best. It was great! What a fantastic feeling! I’m a busy Mom and to all those others out there, thinking of getting started towards being fitter, I say “go for it – you can do it!” Thanks Sarah for all of your guidance and wise words during classes. I enjoy all the classes I attend along with the Small Group Training and Nutrition Coaching services. I am so happy to have found NRG 4 Life! The classes combined with Nutrition Coaching are really working well, helping me to stay on track and assisting with my goals.
Stephanie F.
In January of this year I joined NRG 4 Life fitness and vowed to myself that I was going to be fitter now at 50 than I was at 30. With the motivation provided by Taya’s spin, row and core classes along with Sarah’s circuit classes I’ve managed to lose nearly 20lbs and three belt sizes. My overall health is much better and I have considerably more energy than I’ve had in the past 20 years! The vibe at NRG 4 Life fitness is fantastic! EVERYONE is very friendly and that makes it much easier to WANT to go to the gym! I still have a little way to go to have the physique that I picture, but I’m sure that with the help of the staff at NRG 4 Life that I’ll get there.
Chris H.
I have loved belonging to NRG, had tons of fun, made many gym pals and have bettered my health. Thank you Sarah and Terry along with your great staff for a wonderful 5 years (time has flown). Not only have I enjoyed the exercise, I knew whenever I stepped in the door that I would be greeted warmly. Your atmosphere is unlike any other “gym”. I will miss everyone, but am looking forward to this next facet of our lives outside of the area.
Karen K.
I returned to NRG 4 Life in 2014 after recovering from a serious illness. I was out of shape and at my all time heaviest weight. My goal was to lose 30 pounds safely and to get my energy back. By June 2015, with a lot of hard work and support from family, friends and the NRG4Life team, I am proud to say that I reached that goal. I am now reaching the one year mark of maintaining my goal weight and keeping myself active. I attend a variety of bootcamp, evening and weekend classes 4-5 times per week – sometimes alone and sometimes with a workout buddy. I have learned that this is what I need to do in order to maintain my current weight, and to feel both fit and energized. I am thankful to Sarah, Terry and the NRG4 life instructors for keeping me on track, and helping me to reach my fitness and nutrition goals. There is an incredible amount of support here and I am so glad to be part of the NRG 4 Life family.
Sue B.
I love the way I feel when I workout regularly. At NRG 4 Life there’s so many great class options which keeps me motivated without getting bored! After a long day, the hardest part is just walking in the door. I remind myself as I drive over after work how great I will feel after. Unlike other gyms, I am always greeted by friendly staff who make everyone feel welcome and truly care. It’s like a community of all different people coming together to be healthier without any judgment. Some members just workout, however, I enjoy the camaraderie of the classes! I attend Pilates, Circuits, Yoga, Step and Spin – there’s something literally for everyone and for all levels! It’s when I added Nutrition Coaching with Kim that I really saw a big difference in my shape and now I’m on the free maintenance plan. I trimmed down 8 lbs in 8 weeks, more importantly, it gave me the tools and new tips I need to be accountable to continue eating healthy.
Patti H.
I have lost 70 lbs in 7 months and 11″ more in 30 days through NRG 4 Life Bootcamp. Initially I was worried about going to the gym. I didn’t want people staring or making fun of me. I find all the members and staff supportive and friendly with lots of people just like me! My evening instructor Jennifer, is an inspiration herself. She has lost over 100 lbs! Sarah & Terry, thank you for not only providing a gym and classes to make you physically fit, but also for the nutritional classes, healthy eating choices, support and positive motivation. NRG 4 Life has supported me every step of the way and Bootcamp has definitely simplified my healthy weight loss goals. I have never been so happy and healthy in a long, long time 🙂
Tara R.
I’m fairly new to the gym scene. It’s something I didn’t think I needed until I heard from my daughter who is also an NRG 4 Life member that I should give it a try! I am now hooked!! I do the stationary bike, treadmill and even a few strength training machines. I’m no ‘Spring Chicken’, however, I always feel welcome and there’s members of all ages from teens up. I had no idea that a ‘gym’ could be like this.
Since joining NRG 4 Life I can take upon daily tasks easier and when I travel I have more energy being able to walk for longer periods of time without getting winded. Keeping my weight at a healthy range makes me feel good and improves the quality of my life in so many ways. I’ve made a lot of friends at NRG 4 Life and am so happy I joined!
Margaret S.
Bootcamp has increased my energy level substantially. The class atmosphere is fantastic! I found that everyone in the class was very friendly and I attribute that to the simple fact that we are all there for similar goals. I can’t say enough about the amazing trainer’s attitude either. The choice motivational words really help me to keep pushing myself. I’m always greeted with a big smile when we start and it’s still there when we finish! I have a long way to go in my fitness goals and I feel that this has given me the right stepping stones to get me in that path. Thanks so much NRG 4 Life!
