Carole Mendoza
Age 40
I started working out with a personal trainer as a means to living a longer life than my parents. I watched my parents die at younger ages and I believe there weight played a part in it.
I had finally reached my highest weight and knew I needed to do something if I wanted to be around for my own kids. Struggling with a weight issue most my life I knew I couldn't do it by myself or I would have years before. That's when I decided I need one on one help with a personal trainer who would help me. My trainer James always motivated me and believed in my success. He showed with the right eating plan and work out I would have the body I dreamed of.
I am now in a size 6. I even shop in the junior section which hasn't happened in over 20 years. People who have known me for years can't believe the transformation. I look and feel better than I ever have.
Thanks to Better Bodies and my trainer James I truly am Fabulous at 40.



Since working out at Better Bodies I've lost over 100 pounds... and resently finished a marathon!

When I came to Better Bodies, my goal was to lose between 20 - 30 pounds, gain muscle and get fit. My trainer Jill has helped me to achieve that goal in so many ways. Jill has been consistently professional and on time. She has been motivating and positive at all 60 of my workouts. She has been knowledgeable and shared much of that knowledge with me about diet, cardio and exercises. She has been flexible during a few minor injuries and adjusted the exercises so I still got results. She knew how to push me to my limits and beyond when I thought I couldn't do it, or get there. Then she was so encouraging and proud afterwards, that I could do it all over again, gladly! She adopted as a trainer to my needs both physically and emotionally. I knew as her client that not only did she help me and take me to my goals, but that she really cares. Jill is an awesome trainer who I would recommend to anyone. She is a huge asset to Better Bodies.

I have been working out with Marco Jimenez three times a week for the past five months and so far I have removed 31 pounds and gone from a size 14 (sometimes even a 16) to a size 8.
Signing up for training session with Marco at Better Bodies was my last ditch attempt at losing weight. I didn't truly believe that I was capable of achieving a better body because I have always struggled to make regular exercise and healthy eating top priorities. However, I think my before and after photos show that I was wrong! As I've progressed, my goals have evolved and become more ambitious. Now I am much closer to my ultimate goal (which was really just a fantasy until recently) and Marco has given me the confidence to know that I will succeed eventually ... even if not by tomorrow (darn)!
Some weeks have been easier than others. During the rough weeks, Marco has been instrumental in keeping me on track. I once called him in the middle of the day because I could not stop eating cookies that someone brought to work. Marco talked me through he situation, reminded me of my progress so far and my goals, and gave me a plan of attack so that I wouldn't find myself so tempted and out of control again. Anyone else would have told me to just stop eating the cookies, but Marco recognized that I needed more that that. With Marco's coaching I feel like I have developed will power made of steel (well, most of the time anyway) ... something that I definitely never had before!
The bottom line is that Marco is an awesome trainer/coach and I'm glad he continues to put up with me and my sometimes feisty attitude. I look forward to many more sessions.

In 3 months with Bob at Better Bodies I completely transformed my body by losing 24lbs of fat.

My name is Celeste McBride, and I have been working out with Eric Brannon as my personal trainer for just under a year now. The last several months Eric and I have had many discussions regarding my workout program and nutritional habits. Based on all of our discussions I made a personal decision end of last summer to work closely with Eric and make major changes to my work out routines and my nutritional intake. On the first of September I was weighing in at 189 lbs. As of today I am now weighting in at 168lbs (21 lbs weight loss). Together with Eric and I have modified my work out sessions to include more cardio time and changed up my weight training sessions, and together we discussed ways o better improve my nutritional intake. I am definitely showing signs of getting stronger and having more endurance during my cardio training and weight training. The best part is the work I am putting into it is starting to show for the first time. I am once again wearing clothes in my closet I have not seen in several years now. I am loving my new shape and plan on keeping it and improving on it. With Eric's help I know I can make it.

I am a forty three year old mother of three, whose life has been bettered beyond compare by the services offered at Better Bodies. I had all three of my children at a very early age and since then I have always struggled with my weight. I also own a restaurant that is all consuming, and doesn't give me much time to exercise or thing about proper nutrition. I found myself just grabbing anything I could and eating it as fast as I could because of the lack of time. I have been on and off medication for many years for a variety of diagnoses and then prescribed yet more medication because of the side affects of that medication and my body became more and more embarrassing to me, so that nobody was allowed to take a picture of me. This has changed through the help of Better Bodies and I'm not ashamed anymore to have my picture taken.
My work with Woody, my personal trainer at Better Bodies, has taught me to take control of my weight and my life. Woody is available whenever I need him, day or night, to give me advise about my diet and nutritional choices. Since the start of my work at Better Bodies, and with the help of Woody, I have not only gained control of my weight but I have been able to stop the excess of medication I was taking by finding natural solutions to my health problems. I am happier and healthier now than I can ever remember being. I have been working with Woody for a year and a half now. In the first 8 months I lost 33 pounds and I went from 36 percent body fat to 18 percent. Beyond that he helped me to build more lean muscle tissue to get me closer to my ultimate personal goal which is to look like a fitness model. I credit this to Woody my personal trainer whose determination and dedication continues to help me reach my furthest goals.

I began my fitness experience at Better Bodies of Tucson with my wife. After an initial consultation with Jeramy Price regarding our objectives and the importance of proper diet and rest while training, we were matched with our trainer Jason Jackson. At the time I began my program I weighed 305 lbs.
Since beginning our 3 times a week sessions with Jason I have lowered my weight to 255 lbs over a period of 6 months. Not only has my weight decreased but my overall fitness has increased dramatically which reflects in many areas of my life on a daily basis. My goal is to achieve a weight of 220 lbs by the end of the year with the continued excellent training and encouragement by Jason and the team at Better Bodies.

Eating the wrong food at the wrong hours, little sleep and most importantly four years of college was the reason I gained sixty pounds. I can back from taking a trip with friends and the person I saw in the pictures was not me. I didn't recognize myself, so I decided enough was enough this was getting way out of hand and I had to change it.
I started to eat well and work out. Initially the weight came off really quickly, but after a while I hit the plateau we all keep reading about in the magazines. This is when a friend referred me to Better Bodies and I began training with Kris. His expertise and intricately planned exercise routine, which includes strength training and cardiovascular activities has made a world of difference to my weight loss. By no means has it been easy getting to the gym so early in the morning or enduring the rigorous workouts, but I'm almost there and it feels great.
I have lost a total of 50 pounds and with the help of Kris and Better Bodies I can't wait to lose the last few.

I started working out at Better Bodies in August and as of February I've lost 35 pounds and decreased my body fat from 25% to a lean 17%. Better Bodies provided me with a workout regimen and eating plan that has changed my life. My energy levels, endurance, and overall opinion of what it means to be a healthy individual has changed dramatically!
