“Lost 52 lbs, 12.5% Body Fat, 5 inches Waist”

Four months ago, I sat in my dorm room cramming for finals. I was reviewing notes, practicing problems, and eating some pizza in the meantime. It was when I looked at the reflection in my computer screen I noticed the real issue. My face – stuffed cheeks, greasy lips, and a second chin beneath it – was horrific. I was not happy with what I saw. The person looking back at me was not the person I see in my mind. I thought of myself as a smart person with strong goals and a happy life. I saw someone who couldn’t control bad habits and constantly ignored signs of poor health and inactivity. I did not go to college to gain weight, lose focus, and become a diabetic; I concentrated too much on my studies that I lost sight of some of the true priorities in life. Unable to continue with the matter, I shut off the computer screen, threw away the rest of the pizza, and resumed studying. I knew this issue needed to be addressed in the near future.

In the midst of finals week, I sat in one of my favorite restaurants eating one of my favorite meals: smoked cheeseburger with fresh cut fries. Looking for something to read, I picked up an Osprey Observer at the counter and glanced through the articles. I came upon a testimonial from a client from RobZFitness who lost a 100 pounds. I was astonished. I thought those kind of numbers are for Biggest Loser contestants or gastric bypass patients. Once again gorged with burger grease and oily hands, I said enough is enough. How can I, an eighteen-year-old kid with many years ahead of me, sit around while other people are doing something about their lives? I kept the article, returned home, and decided to give it a shot and make the call.

That night, I spoke to Rob Zulkoski. I told him who I was and where I wanted to be. I was a USF freshman severely overweight. I would be committed to the program and do whatever asked of me. I wanted confidence back, I wanted a healthy future, and I wanted a lifestyle change. I was promised all of those things. The next day, I came in to meet him and get evaluated for the weight loss program. I started out weighing 250 pounds with 33% body fat. I never thought it was that bad; it was surely quite a shock. After a few more tests and measurements, my percentile ranking for men my age was 3. That’s it. 97% of eighteen-year-olds were in better shape than I was. It was time for that to change. I signed up for a long-term commitment at the studio and was ready for a new beginning.

Four months later, I happily weigh only 198 pounds, losing a total of 52 pounds to this date. My body fat percentage dropped from 33% to 20.5%. My percentile ranking improved to 24 and the feeling is unbelievable. I climbed the Bank of America building in downtown Tampa – all 42 flights – in just over ten minutes. Never did I believe that I could accomplish all that in sixteen weeks. It’s amazing how effective Rob’s system is. If you follow the plan, eat right, and stay focused, there is no reason not to expect big results. The trainers are encouraging, firm, and have faith in your abilities. You work out with others who are going through the same process and it’s certainly beneficial to have a support system to help you through the adjustments. I am finally looking in the mirror and seeing the person that I’ve always pictured myself to be. I look forward to continuing with the plan through the coming months and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for many years to come. Thank you RobZFitness for getting me back on track and giving me a fresh start on life.

“Lost 25lbs, 11% Body Fat, 4.5” in Waist”

Like many people, my life is busy.  Between raising a family and teaching, there were few moments left in my day for me.  Exercise was one of those things that I’d get to if I could…but rarely did.  I always felt like I was running on empty.  Then there was food.  If it was sweet, then it was for me.  I had tried a variety of programs over the years, but could never find one that would stick. Each time the weight I lost would find its way back…and usually it brought along a friend or two.  While I was never pleased about this, I trudged along with the daily routine figuring I’d fix it when I had time.

Then for Christmas, my wonderful husband gave me the best present ever…time at RobZFitness.  At my initial consultation, I learned that I was in better shape than 1% of women my age.  WOW! Suddenly, putting me last did not seem like such a good plan anymore, so I signed up for a three month program and hoped for the best.

Would I describe changing my entire thought process about exercise and eating as easy?  No…but necessary to get healthy.  I was impressed with the fitness and supportive eating plan and thrilled that it is based on scientific data and backed by actual results.  The entire family has benefited from the change to more wholesome and less processed foods.

However, the thing that impressed me most about RobZFitness was the compassion, encouragement, and support I received from my personal trainer Taylor Green.  Having never worked out like this in my life, there were many things I was hesitant to try or simply was too out of shape to do.  (I couldn’t even jump rope anymore!) But as any good student would, I followed the directions and did what I was asked to do…with a smile on my face.  And boy am I glad I did!

In the three months that I trained at RobZFitness with Taylor, I lost 25 pounds of weight and 11% body fat. Having lost 4.5” around my waist, I’m also down three pant sizes and have the energy that I remember from before having children.  I am building more lean muscle every week and have improved my cardio greatly.  I am excited about the changes I’m seeing in myself and my daily routine, from the way I’m choosing food to the time I allow myself to exercise.  This has been an amazing start to the ever improving me.  RobZFitness gets an “A” in my book!

I’m originally from the small town of LaGrange, Ohio but have been living in Valrico for the past 18 years. I graduated from Durant High School in 2005 and in May I will be a proud graduate of the University of Tampa with a bachelors degree in Exercise Science, Adult Fitness. I recently became certified for personal training through ACE and I am also AFAA certified for group fitness.

Throughout high school I was very active. I was involved in cheerleading and dance and was also a competitive swimmer for 7 years.  I knew that fitness was important to me and was blessed when I realized that I could make it my career. I started teaching group fitness in 2008 at Shapes and Campo YMCA. I have taught Step, Body Sculpting, Gliding and Kickboxing. I then started personal training in 2009. I love the opportunity to work with others and experience their positive changes along with them.

I am a member of Bell Shoals Baptist church and in my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Once I graduate I plan to continue to train for RobZFitness and pursue further education as a Clinical Exercise Specialist.

I have known Rob for quite a few years and am very excited to be a part of his team. I firmly believe in the program Rob has created and know it is the best, healthiest way to see results. I think that it should take work to achieve something you really want and achieving health and fitness is no exception. It does take work to achieve your goals but anyone and everyone is capable of doing so.
