I was tired of the same old routine, at the same old gym. I was not seeing any results, despite the fact I was spending two hours a day there. I began to think why do I keep giving my money to a gym where I am not receiving results? I thought about this long and hard, and deiced to dump my old “Global Gym” and give Emerfit a shot. It is a choice I have never regretted.
My first day at Emerfit, I could see the difference between Emerfit and the old typical gym, and a number of those different aspects astounded me. The coaches not only took the time to show me how to safely preform each lift, but they took the time to review nutrition, and appropriate rest, to ensure I would receive maximum results. They set intermediate goals to help me reach my overall goals. The community that is formed, by the members common passion for continues improvement within ones-self, is second to none. Members are not solely there to improve themselves, but also there to help improve each other. If one finishes a workout before another they stay, and cheer everyone on, until everyone has finished the workout. My camaraderie with other members became so strong that they quickly, not only, became friends within the gym, but became the friends I would hang out with outside the gym. Finally, the workouts at Emerfit are always different; they keep your body guessing, what is next, and they are always fun and challenging. They will challenge your strength, muscle endurance, and cardio all in the same workout, and within an hour.
I came to Emerfit after having two surgeries on my right shoulder. Flexibility and power over my head was not my strength. I was unable to consistently squat while holding a PVC pipe over my head. I would squat two to three reps, may be, and would then need to rest for a bit. I was frustrated with this. The coaches continued to tell me to give it time and trust them. As time past my overhead squat continued to improve. The last time I over head squat I was able to put up 119 pounds, easily. Within nine months, I went from struggling to over head squat a PVC pipe to over head squatting 119 pounds. My confidence with overhead lifts has greatly improve, and I look forward to my next over head squats to see how much I can put up now. Not only, do I owe a thank you to the Emerfit staff, and to the members, for my new found flexibility, strength, speed, and physique, but also for my increase in confidence, mental strength, and ability to handle stress.
If you are like me: results driven, and very busy, you cannot find a better gym, a better program, a better staff, or a more supportive membership than at EmerFit. Considering my experience, and results, I would recommend Emerfit to anyone, no matter their current fitness level.
Below are some of my other results:
- Dead lift went from 355 pounds to 415 pounds in nine months
- 400 meter run went from 1:12 to 1:05 in four months
- Press went from 109 pounds to 125 pounds in four months
- Was able to run and complete a 5k with no notice
- Went from using a blue band for kipping pull ups to being able to do 40 pull ups at once in nine months
