After my twins were born, I was always too busy to go to the gym (or at least that's what I told myself). Then before I knew it 10 years had passed and I had put on a lot of excess weight. I never felt good, let alone how it affected me mentally every time I looked in the mirror or had to shop for clothing. Then in December I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. A friend suggested I give her gym a try and I started my membership at Best Fitness Schenectedy that month. Little did I know I was going to strike GOLD!!! I love this place. It's clean, there truly is no feeling of being judged, and there's no high pressure environment. I did do an evaluation that led me to hire a trainer but that was my decision and I had many years to make up for in neglecting myself. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I've even had to ask a few other members for help on occasion and they've been super. I'm finally finding myself again. Three months after joining, I had lost 13 pounds and was down almost 5% body fat. I'm smiling again when I look in the mirror! Don't get me started on my trainer, Alana B. This woman is a key factor in my successes. She's understanding but firm, professional, knowledgeable, motivating, encouraging and always positive even when she has to push me a little harder. She's real and has an energy that's contagious. I always leave the gym feeling like I've accomplished something that's going to get me to my end goals. Ryan T was my first experience with an instructor for any of the classes. His HITT classes will kick your butt but are so rewarding. He is perfect at making you feel like you can achieve anything and that you belong here. His ability to inspire your best will make you want to set your alarm to take his next class. I do believe I've found my home. All of my experiences here have been positive from billing to employees and the facility itself I would strongly encourage anyone to give it a try. What is there to lose other than extra weight and negative self thoughts?
