Success Stories

A special education teacher writes, "I decided I needed to make a big change in my life. Then they started the wellness program, and I decided to give it a try. Since the inception of the program I have lost a total of 40lbs. I have also dropped my body fat percent from a very unhealthy 26.8% to a lean athletic 17.7%... even the students have noticed the huge change in my face and body structure. I now play soccer and have little issues with my asthma and I also have more stamina and power thanks to the combined help of both my trainer and Andrea. So I would like to thank the wellness program and most of all Andrea."
