Team Fitness was the kick-start I needed for a permanent change in life

Two-time cancer survivor, Michael Foulston decided three months ago to commit to getting in the best shape he could before his wedding. To achieve his goal he knew he needed the right program and that is when he found Team Fitness.

“It was six months before my wedding – the right timeframe in which to achieve my goals” Michael said. He committed to the “90-Days to a New You” TF360 Gold Pack bundle – a program designed to retrain your body to build muscle and burn fat efficiently.

 Our bundling of the TF meal plan with personal training has helped hundreds of our clients reach and maintain their goals.

 “Team Fitness offered the right mix of support, from personal training to dedicated meal plans,” Michael explained. Designed to produce a minimum two-pound weight loss and muscle gain each week, the program addresses obesity and supports the goals of sports enthusiasts, fitness competitors and general health and fitness clients alike.

By the end of 90 days, Michael replaced eight per cent of his body fat with lean mass. Overall, Michael lost 30 inches and 31 pounds in just 90 days!

 “My goal was to improve my health and fitness and I can truly say I’ve achieved that result. Overall, I’m happier with my appearance, my endurance and my knowledge of what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle,” he said. “Team Fitness was the beginning of a whole new lifestyle and I’m looking forward to seeing what new challenges the trainers have planned for me,” Michael said.

Most importantly, Michael says he doesn’t feel like he’s “just waiting for life to happen” and is being more proactive about his fitness and that’s becoming apparent in every other aspect of his life.

 “Team Fitness was the kick-start I needed for a permanent change in life. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness and who needs a little motivation and support to stay on track. ”

Team Fitness takes pride in giving individual support to its clients in programs designed for all fitness levels and ages. For a free assessment and more info, call 604-990-3476 or visit online at: www.teamfitness.ca

Another Level of Team Fitness

Joanne Gagne Burt
Competing in her first ever Bikini Competition on October 29,2011

Here is a little more about Joanne and her experience:


1) How old are you and what inspired you to start competing in Bikini?
I am 30 years of age, I have always enjoyed fitness of any sort, so when I would go to the store and see fitness mag's or Oxygen magazines, I always fantasize on what it would be like to see myself on the cover, and looking at those beautiful bodies, would just amaze me, so last year, after being not that happy with my physique, I finally spoke to Leanne with Team Fitness for help, and she said no problem she would get me to where I wanted to be and then it was minutes later, I thought," I want to compete and go for a real challenge," well after trying for a month it was not the right time for me, and I told myself, " one more year, then that’s it! " Now another year has come, and I am 3 weeks away from competing at Muscle beach bikini classic..

2) How does your husband and kids help you keep on track? It’s been hard, we all love food, but my husband loves the gym, and my kids are always fed very healthy to a point, lol.. It’s been basically, a lot of self- motivation, pretty much pure will-power on my part to keep going,


3) You are three weeks away from your first competition, what is a typical day like for you at this time? A typical day for me now, since the days are so short, they have changed a bit , ! get up in the am and get my kids off to school, eat my breakfast and go for a run, once I get home I do my duties of a mom, then my am snack, then I continue with my daily chores, being a stay at home mom at the moment, then my lunch about noon, then I hit the gym for a couple hrs, one day upper body, next day lower body, then I have my after noon snack, then I continue on my mom chores, once the kids get home, I hang out with them till supper time, so cook supper, feed them, the hubby, then myself, clean up time, then pm cardio, when that’s all done, I make sure home work (reading) is all done, then get them ready for the next day, take my shake and bed time, ...



4) What do you like the best about this experience?
I love a challenge, and when someone tells me I can’t do something, look out, lol.. and with this experience I’ve sure come to realize, ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING IF THEY PUT THERE HEART AND SOUL INTO IT!.... you just need to WANT IT bad enough,


5) What are your goals in this industry? I have always wanted to be on the front cover of Oxygen Magazine, and to be a fully sponsor model, I won’t stop till I get there..

I am convinced that Joanne will do anything she sets her mind to as she has proven great discipline and positivety throughout this journey to reach her goal of competing for the first time.
Joanne started the TF Competitive Meal Plan 12 weeks out of competition date where she eats a lot of Omega 3's to sustain hormone balance and healthy skin/hair, along with eating plenty of fibre and protein to aid in proper digestion and muscle maintenance throughout. Joanne has trained with weights for many years prior to her decision to compete which is very important in building the framework of a physique before leaning out for competition.
Joanne has committed herself to accomplishing this goal naturally without sacrificing her health! Good work Joanne, we are all excited to see your competition pictures and in the near future your stellar physique on a Magazine one day!!

Your biggest fan, Leanne

Competition Pictures to come y'all! Stay tuned and Good Luck Joanne!

Back injury anyone?

Back pain from injury is debilitating and can affect all aspects of a person's life. Our Team Fitness client,Mitch,was one of those people. In his early 20's and unable to work because of his back pain, Mitch gave us a chance at helping him get his life back. Our team of personal trainers worked together to create a program specific to his needs and limitations. Mitch was dedicated to his training and through his hard work and persistance he has transformed himself. We are all so very proud of him, his hard work has paid off!!

Here is his story;


" In 2008 I had surgery on my back to fix a herniated disc. For the next three years my back was a complete mess. I wasn’t able to work and I was in constant pain. For a long time I didn’t think my chronic pain symptoms would go away. A general malaise took over my life as I was uncertain if I would ever return to my pre-injured self.



In February of 2011, on a recommendation, I began working out with Team Fitness. I went in with low expectations, as all of my previous rehab attempts had proven futile. Within weeks I could feel strength returning to my back. Team Fitness worked intensively with me to create an individually designed fitness regimen.



I now have minimal, to no pain during day-to-day activities. With the absence of pain my melancholy has dissipated, and for the first time in three years I am able to play a full round of golf, a sport I honestly believed I would never play again."



Thank you Team Fitness,



Mitch
