ATHLETE - OF-THE WEEK

1. How long have you been with Top Form?

 

I regularly passed Top Form in Chatham and thought, “I don’t belong there.” I’m too old. Too fat. Not coordinated. Don’t know how.

 

I joined Top Form in March of 2020 . I have NEVER been referred to as an “athlete” in my life. I was in the process of losing 65 pounds and planned to join a gym to improve my balance, strength, bone density and overall health. I expected to “walk on a treadmill twice a week” and maybe stretch. I didn’t know a “hamstring” from a “quadricep”. I expected to HATE it! Within a truly short time, I realized how wrong I was!

1. How long have you been with Top Form?

 

I regularly passed Top Form in Chatham and thought, “I don’t belong there.” I’m too old. Too fat. Not coordinated. Don’t know how.

 

I joined Top Form in March of 2020 . I have NEVER been referred to as an “athlete” in my life. I was in the process of losing 65 pounds and planned to join a gym to improve my balance, strength, bone density and overall health. I expected to “walk on a treadmill twice a week” and maybe stretch. I didn’t know a “hamstring” from a “quadricep”. I expected to HATE it! Within a truly short time, I realized how wrong I was! I am learning so much. The rewards have been continuous. I find myself doing things I never imagined and enjoying every moment. My muscle to fat ratio continues to increase. I am amazed to see my muscle definition improve week by week as well.

 

2. Biggest improvement in your health?

 

Despite being post-menopausal and (now) slimmer, my bone density is normal and my overall physical strength, balance and flexibility have improved dramatically. I experience a sense of emotional wellness and new-found self-confidence.

 

3. What would you say to someone to inspire them to come here?

 

I tell people Top Form is NOT what I anticipated. Four words: Safety, fun, support and friendship. I have met wonderful people. The trainers are like family. They care. They are knowledgeable. Each member has a customized set of exercises. The trainers monitor our progress and modify our programs to meet our needs and help us attain our goals. Walk on a treadmill? My goals now involve weightlifting, balance, and keeping an impressive set of defined abs! The members look after one another - we encourage rather than compete. Knowing nothing about what to do or how to do it, I appreciate the encouragement and support. Because of the customization, I have felt more confident that I can do things I never imagined and do them safely.

 

4. What is most important to you at Top Form?

 

“It’s a family.” It is not impersonal or one size fits all. My progress has been visible and measurable. My ‘before” and “now” are dramatic. I have not had a morning when I do not want to go to Top Form, or do not enjoy myself when I am there, or feel achy when I leave.

 

5. How does the Top Form training help you in your daily life outside of Top Form?

 

My family now expects me to do all the heavy lifting! I cannot thank the Top Form team enough for all each and every one has done for me.
