Thanks To The Fitnance Crew - A testimonial

Thank you letter from Fitnance Member.  

Hi Guys. It is a little over 6 months since my first session with you all at Fitnance and I thought I would just send through a short note to say thanks for all your help in that time. When I started I was 132.5 kgs in weight and would be short of breath tying up my shoe laces. After having a previous boss of mine suggest that I shouldn't allow myself to be defined by my weight I thought I would bite the bullet and do something about it. I hadn't worked out in a gym in my entire 47 years and I was a bit apprehensive about what it would be like, but you all made me welcome and the rest of the crew that trains at Fitnance were a good bunch as well. Even though my lifestyle of corporate lunches and travel make the job of losing weight and increasing fitness very challenging your variety of tailored programs have seen me drop close on 20 kilos, over 15 cm in my waist and I can now go for a 5 km jog without passing out. Once again thanks for all your help and I look forward to sending another note when I have dropped the next 20 kilos.
