Onelife Fitness Member Success | Erik S's Inspiring Story

MEET ERIK S. In early March of 2018, Erik received a medical wake-up call when he found out that he needed to be medicated for high blood pressure and cholesterol. He began his journey by logging his meals, but needed that extra push from a personal trainer to break through his first plateau. Erik’s trainer at Onelife Fitness guided him through the basics of weight training and helped him become more proficient as his technique and strength improved. He’s also added in three spin classes per week for HIIT training. Now he’s no longer on medication. “I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough to my trainer and spin instructors at Onelife Fitness for helping me get my life back.” Down 77lbs! Inspired by ERIK’s story? Talk our Fitness Professionals to get started today!

Ashley Brown's Success Story

I attended my first FREE trial Zone 4 (TNT) class at the end of June and I’ve been hooked ever since! Working out is now fun for me and I look forward to going to the gym daily! I’m a competitive person so being able to work out alongside others and compare my progress throughout class makes me push myself even more! The group environment allows space to workout independently without feeling overwhelmed and our awesome trainer gives us the personal attention and extra motivation/push we all need every now and then! The flexible schedule allows me the ability to attend 4-5 sessions per week. This has mentally challenged me and physically changed me therefore I am forever grateful!
