New LBC Testimonial – Real Metabolic Recovery
Erik, working with you has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. When I decided to contact you with the encouragement of my good friend, Sandi, I was skeptical. I trusted her and saw how you changed her outlook on competing, but I was worried that I was too far gone after all the years of abuse I put my body through. I tried my best to go in with an open mind and I kept telling myself that “what i’m doing now is not working so what do I have to lose.” I gave myself to you, let my guard down…though it was hard! Let you be my coach and I tried my best to be the best student. It wasn’t easy…my weight went up at first and I felt a little bulky with my new program. Though, I suddenly felt better on a daily basis. My energy level went up and my sleep suddenly got better. after years of competing and abusing my body with inproper training/nutrition techniques…sleep and energy seemed like they would be gone forever. Though my weight went up, my first bi-weekly showed a change in measurements.
The measurement changes were encouraging, but my weight just would not budge. Up a pound here and there, but really no downward progress on the scale. with your coaching and tough love, I always felt encouraged after expressing my frustrations with you. I knew that if I kept thinking negatively about my weight and progress, i’d never succeed, regardless of how good you were. After several months of holding my breath, staying determined and positive and hoping one day that scale would budge…it finally did and my body started to change pretty radiply.
Now here’s the catch…my workouts were no longer than 45 minutes and my cardiovascular program was a joke compared to the hours I used to log on the stepmill. Through most of my program, cardio was only a minimal part of my program. I never though I’d be one of those women who could get away with just hitting the weights hard and eating properly but I can offically say that I am one of those woman now and man, does it feel good!
I started working with Erik last year around this time and continued working with him until I felt I was at a point where I wanted to test myself and my ability to maintain my results. It’s been several months since I’ve checked in, I’ve been through a job promotion, nearly losing my father who is my best friend and one of the most stressful periods of my life and I’m proud to say that I am in the exact same place as I was when I ended my program with Erik.
Erik taught me a lifestyle that I can maintain for the rest of my life. My workouts are realistic and do not control my life as they did before. I eat more than I’ve ever eaten before and I’ve been able to enjoy going out for dinner or drinks with my friends without worrying about destroying my results.
I never thought that I would look and feel my best when i turned 30, but with my 30th birthday approaching in 2 days…i’ve never felt so good and confident in my life! Erik has truly changed my life in ways I could never explain.
If you are a competitor who is suffering from extreme competion rebounds and a damaged metabolism, i’d suggest talking to Erik. There is another way to obtain the stage look without literraly killing yourself to get there. Competing should be fun and enjoyable….you should not spend your “off season” hiding because your embarassed of the way you look and feel.
Thank you, Erik for helping me find myself again. The impact you’ve had on my life is priceless!
Sincerely,
Stacy Adams, Rockville, MD
