Leslie learns she has the power to do it herself!

After the loss of my husband, I hired contractors for tasks requiring strength and height. I was able to handle grubs, cicada killing wasps, fire ants, snakes, flying squirrels, mice, filters, fuses, pruning, cleaning and minor repairs on the lawn mower. The tasks I could not do were snow shoveling and fall leaf cleanup.

I started classes at Limitless Fitness in 2017 after years of rarely using my membership at Planet Fitness. DJ got me hooked on the group classes. The workouts never got dull. His corrections to my form changed how each exercise felt and the way my body reacted. People noticed that I got slimmer. My clothes fit better.

Fast forward, I called my contractor to have help with the leaves covering the backyard.  He told me that he had just had a heart attack and would not be doing fall cleanups. Much to my surprise, I picked up the leaf blower and was able to do the yard with ease. The next week and the week after, I cleared the leaves again with no resulting aches. (Why didn’t someone tell me to wait a month until all the leaves had fallen?)  

As I thought about my increase in strength, I realized that I was lifting over twice as much as I had done at Planet Fitness. My balance has increased significantly due to core strength. Yesterday I carried an old television downstairs. Four boxes of my daughter’s books felt like nothing going to the basement. Limitless Fitness has given me better health, strength and time with nice people.  It is great to do more myself and to save money.
