Dear Tony: As promised, here are my before and after pictures. The “before” pictures were hard to come by and not really the best pics, but anytime I had my picture taken, I would pick them up at the store and throw them away before anyone could see them. I had to get these from other people that used their own camera. I’m also attaching my story again because it’s changed somewhat from the e-mail I sent you. Thanks to your suggestion of changing my workout to the morning, I’ve lost another 12 pounds and several inches Thank you, thank you, thank you. Here’s my story. Five months ago I was a 46 year old woman completely out of shape. Every time I would try to eat right and exercise, I would lose the enthusiasm after about a week. Exercise was especially difficult for me because I had never done it and I would ultimately hurt myself every time I tried. My left knee has given me trouble on a regular basis for years now so even basic walking for any distance would make my knee swell up. I also have a problem with my neck. So, floor exercises are pretty much out of the question because they either hurt my neck or my knee every time. I had continually gained weight over the past seven years and had topped out at 207 pounds. I was so depressed about the way I looked and felt but didn’t know where to begin to correct it and just felt that there was no hope for me to lose weight. A friend of mine told me that she purchased a Gazelle and the she loved it so I decided that I would give it a try. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done for myself. While all the other fitness equipment sits in the corner of my basement, only used a few times, my Gazelle is in my family room and gets a HARD workout six days a week and I couldn’t be more pleased. I wore my knee brace for the first few workouts anticipating that it would hurt my knee but I soon realized that I didn’t need to wear the brace at all. I can do the advanced 45 minute total body workout and step off the Gazelle feeling better than I did before I got on it with absolutely no pain ANYWHERE. You advertise that the Gazelle is low impact and I can definitely confirm that. Being 46 and never exercising, my physical stamina was extremely poor but you should see me now. In just five short months I’ve lost 42 pounds and a total of 11.5 inches off my lower body and 10.25 inches off my upper body and have gone from a size 16 to a size 10 and I’m still losing. I plan to be at my ideal weight in 3 more months. I mainly use the lower body solution workout video but I throw in the total body solution on a regular basis. Tony, you’ve not only offered THE BEST piece of fitness equipment on the market, but you’ve gone one step further than most by giving “one on one” training which only added to my success. The workout videos that you offer are another whole testimony of their own. They’re an awesome motivational tool!! And as if that weren’t enough, you go even one more step further by offering personal trainers to talk with. Myself, I had hit a point when I couldn’t get anymore weight off although I was continuing to workout the same amount of time every day so I contacted one of your personal trainers. She immediately responded with a suggestion that I change my workout to the morning instead of the evening since our bodies tend to burn fat better on an empty stomach. That small change allowed me to get past my slump and pushed me on from a 30 pound weight loss to a 42 pound weight loss. I can’t thank her enough!!!!! It’s obvious with all that offer, you’re not just putting out fitness equipment, you’re very serious about helping people achieve total body fitness. You put as much emphasis on being healthy, living longer and having higher energy levels as you do on the weight loss. God Bless you Tony!! In a sentence - what took 7 years to put on has completely come off in just five short months with the Gazelle and your “one on one” training. I know people hear this all the time but I have to say it. If someone is out of shape and unmotivated as I was about exercise could achieve the results that I have in five months, ANYONE can do it. P.S. I’m only using the Gazelle Freestyle so I could only imagine the results I could have achieved if I had purchase the Elite with resistance levels and heart rate monitor.
