“I had heard about Fusion from a friend and decided to join about three and a half years ago.  I really needed to lose weight to feel better about myself and also for health reasons. Now I have to be perfectly honest…I’ve joined many gyms over the years.  While Fusion was certainly not my first gym, I can say that it will definitely be my last. I’ve always felt intimidated when going into a gym.  We’ve all been there…..the tiny woman clad in shapely workout clothes or the muscle bound guy flexing his muscles.  At Fusion you see real people at all fitness levels working together.  I have never felt uncomfortable and always feel welcome during my workouts. Getting there was the first step.  Next I started working out with a trainer.  After a few months I could see that it wasn’t a good fit.  But that didn’t mean that I couldn’t work out with someone else.  Then I started working out with Leigh Anne.  She encouraged me and pushed me and after a couple of months it finally hit me that I needed to change my diet to work along with my exercise routine.  After two years of hard work and encouragement from my husband Joe and everyone at Fusion, I was down 60 lbs.  What a feeling!  But after a while that feeling got the best of me and then I started slipping back to my old habits and the pounds started creeping back.  Even though I was still working out a couple of times a week, I needed to do more.  I certainly wasn’t going to let myself go back to my old ways. I’m getting myself back on track and I have learned an important lesson.  It’s okay to fall down.  You don’t need to be perfect.  All you need to do is pull yourself back up and Leigh Anne and the staff at Fusion are there to help.  As they say, these are real results, and we are real people!!”
