“Lost 30lbs Body Fat, Dress Size 18 to 12,

Over 20+ Inches”

This past April 18th I made a decision that has had a profound effect on my life.  That’s the day I walked through the door of RobZFitness for a consultation. I knew I was at an unhealthy weight but never thought that at age 52 my body fat would be at 38%. I had stopped taking care of myself and I discovered that 90% of the women my age were in better shape than I was.  The numbers were scary and certainly got my attention.  I joined that very day.

It’s funny how you perceive yourself.  Although I knew I had gained weight and was wearing a size 18, in my mind I was still a size 10.  It wasn’t until I saw a picture of myself at my daughter’s graduation party that I knew the blinders had to come off.  I didn’t recognize that overweight person and I certainly didn’t like what I had let myself become.  I spent the next 8 months trying to take the weight off myself.  I tried to eat healthier and exercise but I just never could maintain anything over 2 weeks.  I was very discouraged until I remembered about a friend who had lost over 100 pounds at Rob’s.  I began to believe if he could do it, then I could too. That thought is what motivated me to take that very first step.

I started the day after my consultation and I am now at the beginning of my 4th month.  I love the results and I feel like a new person.  At the end of 3 months I had lost 30 pounds of fat weight and my body fat was down to 27%. I also discovered that only 34% of the women my age were in better shape. What a change from my first day!  My waist has decreased by 10 inches and I have lost an overall total of over 20 inches. My husband loves my new look! My daughter has been motivated by my success and has just completed her first month with a lot of success of her own.  I couldn’t have made such good progress without the personal trainers.  Taylor and Sam have been awesome.  They challenge and motivate me, knowing when to push and everyone has a great sense of humor.  It is obvious everyone at RobZFitness cares about you and your success.

My journey isn’t finished yet.  I do know that fitness and healthy eating have become a part of my life again and I can’t see ever going back. I love working out and eating healthy.  Don’t ever think you can’t do this because if I can, anyone can! All you have to do is take the first step.

Broccoli Rabe

Savory Broccoli Rabe

Here’s a delicious way to dress up broccoli rabe. Broccoli rabe is a non-heading type of broccoli with long thin leafy stalks that’s topped with small florets. It’s packed with vitamins A, C and K in addition to potassium, iron and calcium. It also contains phytochemicals that fight cancer and improve your overall health.
Servings: 6

Here’s what you need:

• 3 Tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
• 2 bunches broccoli rabe, stems trimmed
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup kalamata olives, halved
• dash of freshly ground sea salt

1. Place a steamer basket over a 3 quart pot, filled with water up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil, add the broccoli, cover and steam for 3 minutes. Immediately drop the broccoli into a bowl of ice water. After a few minutes drain the broccoli and set aside.
2. In a large skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until golden. Add the broccoli, olives and salt. Saute for another 5 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, place in serving dish, sprinkle with pine nuts and toss with lemon juice.

Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 58 calories, 4g fat, 10g carbohydrate, 7g fiber, and 2.5g protein.

Size 8 to 2, Lost 30 lbs, 16.5% Body Fat, 5.5” in Waist

I was very active growing up.  Out of all my siblings (there are 5 of us), I was known as the “athletic” one.  I ran track, cross country, played volleyball, and was a cheerleader.  In high school, even though my parents owned a bakery and I ate whatever I wanted, being so active, I could stay in pretty good shape.  Off to college I went, and like most, I gained the “freshman fifteen” …but no worries, I started to run and watched what I ate a little and the weight came right off.  Of course, I was always warned, “Wait until your 30’s, your body will change and it won’t be as easy.”  But I was like, “ I got this.”  So 30 came along and I had my son.   Losing the baby weight wasn’t too bad but I could still not get back to pre-baby, pre-30 weight.   I got to a point where I thought, “well,  this is as good as it’s going to get.”  Then over the last couple years, after having my gall bladder removed, things really changed.  I was gaining weight while I had made no changes so I started to panic.  I really took on running seriously and thought that was going to be the answer.  That didn’t really work and so I thought if I coupled that with Weight Watchers, for sure, I would be golden!  However, for all the effort that I was putting into it, I wasn’t getting nearly the results that I wanted or knew I could achieve.  I was very frustrated that I could not do this on my own.  For those that know me, that is a very hard pill for me to swallow.  I am not one that likes to ask for help.  I quickly realized that the rules of the game had changed and I had no idea how to play anymore.  I needed help, hence my call to Rob at RobZFitness.  That was one of the best decisions of my life!

My experience at RobZFitness has been an amazing one.  I started at 153.5 pounds and a size 8.  After 3 months, I am down 16.5% body fat and now down to a weight of 123.5 and a size 2.  I am not only stronger physically but most important, emotionally…just ask my husband Chuck  Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that I have my high school reunion this year.  The knowledge and support offered by Rob and his staff is priceless.  I had the pleasure of having sessions with Rob (Master at his craft), Sam (Don’t let that sweet face fool you), and Taylor (Trainiac extraordinaire).  All of which are truly in the right line of business.  However, I mainly trained with Taylor and I owe a lot of my success to him.  He knows what he is doing, makes the training experience so much fun and truly takes the “personal” in personal training seriously.  But most of all, I love that from day 1, I never felt like he was training me like a “girl”.  I wanted to be pushed beyond my limits and that is exactly what I received there.

So my advice is don’t wait to call RobZ as a last resort…why waste any more time?  And to all those that think your body can never be the same as it was when you were younger, you are absolutely right….it can be better!!  I have not only been “Taylor Made” but I am now a “Zeliever” as well!

“Lost 10% body fat, 20lbs, Size 8-4”

I have wanted to join RobZFitness for over 2 years. This year I made the decision – I was going for it!

I not only wanted to lose weight, as it is not about the pounds (fat weighs less then muscle).  I wanted to be in shape, build lean muscle and improve cardio.

I found when I started losing weight and gaining muscle I was losing inches fast.

RobZFitness offers an supportive eating plan, where you are never hungry. I used to skip meals now I eat more than ever. I am very impressed with his supportive eating plan & great recipes I have tried.

I have to credit a lot of my success to the compassion, encouragement & support I receive from my personal trainer Taylor Green. He puts up with my crazy phrases, says he is going to publish them, then he pushes me to the next level and next exercise.

In the first three months I trained with Taylor I have lost 10% body fat, a total of 20 lbs and I have lost 5 inches around my waist (down to a size 4). I am building lean muscle and increasing cardio.  My goal a size 2.

I like the fact that people notice how much I have lost but mainly it was my personal goal and I look and feel great. I love my new energy level. I give RobZFitness and Taylor an A+. I highly recommend them to all my friends, in fact a few have already joined after seeing my results.

I am Taylor made! Got to love it!!! Fitness at its BEST!
