Mike Prior - DFC Success Story
The DFC is a non-drug prescription that helps you become healthier as well as reduces the stress in everyday life, and yes it is addictive.
I have always struggled with my weight since I was a kid; I remember in 8th grade I wore a 36 inch waist. I have always liked sweets, chicken wings, pizza you know the unhealthy line of foods. At the age of 45 I weighed in at 208 lbs at 5’7”. Every time I went to the doctor he would tap my gut and say “you should think about losing some of that, you could end up having sugar or heart problems later on.”
Well on July 30th 2006, I did something about it.
I called the DFC, went for a tour of the gym, joined and committed to myself to becoming healthier and more physically fit. I had never joined a gym before and I didn’t really know what to expect of the experience. I took baby steps into something out of my realm of never being physically active. Every time I went to the DFC It became easier and more fun. John H, Lucy, Russ and the whole staff was very supportive and cared about me and made me feel like I belonged.
I talked to John H, and told him about what I was looking to achieve in a gym program. He introduced me to Megan Cormack, one of the excellent personal trainers at the club. Megan developed a weight program for me that I could do 3 times a week involving 3 different body part routines along with cardio training. This helped me achieve my goals of losing weight and getting my body toned up. I now weigh-in at 160 lbs, and have a 32 inch waist. I continue going to the DFC, 3-4 times a week working on my weightlifting program and do a total of 2 hours of cardio a week.
Being a member at the DFC I have found something that benefits my well-being and actually is fun. The non-hassle, friendly environment the DFC has to offer, in my opinion, has made a world of difference in my life and would do the same for anyone. Check it out!
