“I was tired of struggling on my own”
I came to RobZFitness because I was tired of struggling on my own to get my body back to what it was before children. I was tired of my clothes not fitting and having no energy. I went for my initial consultation with Rob and found out not only was I overweight, at 33.8% body fat, but I also had high blood pressure. I was in better shape than 7% of females my age. I knew I had to do something. I decided to make an investment in my health and join. I was very impressed with Rob’s knowledge and philosophies on nutrition, exercise, and weight loss. I knew he could give me the tools I needed to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. I believed in Rob, but most importantly, I believed in myself.
Maybe it was because I wanted to get the most out of my investment, but I took this new venture very seriously. I tried to follow everything that Rob and the other trainers said as closely as possible. It was so nice to have the personalized attention. Any question I could think of they were there with an answer. The first two weeks were tough because I was completely changing how I ate. No more diet sodas, no more finishing off my children’s snacks. I was amazed at how quickly I felt so much better. I no longer craved sweets or carbohydrates. I have been on many diets before, but this was the first one that I can say that I don’t feel hungry or deprived, honest!
After just one month, which included a week at Disney, I might add, I had lost a phenomenal 9.9% body fat! I knew I was onto something. The following two months I continued to work hard and stick very closely to the eating plan. At the end of 3 months my total body fat loss was 17.4%. I can now proudly say that I am in better shape than 86% of females my age. In three months I have gone from a size 12 to a size 4. My blood pressure is now well within normal range. My investment has paid off better than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you Rob, and all the trainers at RobZFitness, you have changed my life.

“I’ve Always Considered Myself to Be Very Athletic”
Having competed in sports from softball, tennis and speedskating to a career in being a stuntwoman. I never had a problem motivating myself to work out and stay in shape, I always thought working out was fun and used it as an outlet to decompress after a long day. Then enter new baby, new job, new house (same husband), new stress, no time, no sleep….and hey an extra 20 lbs that liked hanging out with me. I’ve yo yo’d the 20 lbs during the last 3 years on and off (mostly on), basically by not eating and not exercising…not smart. I then saw an add for RobZFitness, a testimonial actually, that motivated me to pick up the phone and make an appointment.
I was impressed with my initial meeting with Rob, although I’ve always been a bit skeptical of personal trainers as I’ve just never needed one, I decided to give it a shot, afterall what did I have to lose, besides my good friend, 20lbs? Enter trainer, Taylor Green, asking me my goals and he doesn’t flinch as I rattle off…lose fat, gain muscle, I want to be defined and I want to improve my endurance and I want to lift my behind back up where it used to be. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin again and feel good when I wear shorts! He said, “I can do that.” He tells me, “You do your part, and I’ll do mine.” “Um…ok,” I said, and with that we were off to the races. Oh, and did I mention I decided to hire a trainer right before Thanksgiving? This should be good, I thought.
Taylor coached me on my eating habits (giving up the sodas being the hardest part) and within the first month people were telling me, “You look like you’re losing weight,” my clothes started to fit loser and I felt more energetic. By the second month, people were saying, “You look like you’ve been working out.” Now that’s what I like to hear. Friends wondered how I was losing during the holidays and they were gaining. “What’s your secret?” they would ask… ”Taylor Green is my secret,” but definitely a secret worth sharing. By the end of the third month my weight went from 160 to 144 and I went from a size 8 to a size 4 and lost almost 10% body fat.
At 41 I feel great! Taylor Green possesses a special gift as a trainer and motivator and I am so thankful that he shared his gift with me. He has a way of making workouts enjoyable and not monotonous. He tracked my progress and made sure that I stayed on track to reach my goals and then some. I could tell after our first work out that Taylor has a passion for fitness and he was able to help me rediscover my own passion for fitness and my inner athlete that’s been MIA for the last few years.

“I needed motivation and a plan to eat better and exercise consistently”
I was very active growing up, so I went to college and became a physical education teacher. Being physically fit has always been important to me and until I turned 40, it was easy. I ate whatever I wanted but was active enough to burn the extra calories. I developed some bad habits – the main one was drinking sweet tea all day long.

“I have Lupus”
“Because of the disease and the medication; I have gained a lot of weight over the past few years. I was tired of feeling sick and tired…. I saw one of Rob’s testimonials in the paper last year and decided to give him a call, for me – gym’s did not work, sometimes getting out of bed is difficult, let alone the fact of driving to the gym and being left alone with all those machines, half the time not knowing what to do or if you are doing it right. I am doing a lot of walking but needed to increase my bone density which is declining.”
“Rob comes over once a week for me, rain or shine, Gets me going whether I want it or not. I like the fact that on days when I ache, or I feel exhausted, he is willing to adapt, helps me, encourages me and on the good days, boy, he really gets me going, challenges me to do the best that I can. I feel more confident about myself, my clothes fit better than ever, have more energy but the most important thing for me is I feel stronger and that’s what gets me going every Tuesday morning when he shows up whether want it or not.” For more information about Rob’s programs go to www.RobZFitness.com or call him at (813) 571-3700.
