“You hear the term “functional fitness”, and if you are like me, it’s something that sounds intimidating and not really “your cup of tea.” I imagined super strong athletes doing crazy difficult workouts that I would never be able to do. And ironically, I couldn’t have been farther from the truth. LBK FIT has been a true blessing in my life. I have found a gym that has amazing coaches that care about you and help you achieve your personal goals. The members at the gym are friendly, accepting, and encourage you to do your best. We literally congratulate each other at the end of each workout because we recognize how hard we all were working. And the workouts? Okay they are tough… that part was right. Due to some old football injuries and lack of exercise program, I have to sometimes modify the exercises. But even in those modifications, the coaches work within your abilities to help you push yourself and get the most out of your workouts. I have lost over 35 lbs and six inches around my waist, gone down two shirt sizes (and don’t plan on finding them), and have had my blood pressure go from “high” to “normal.” And that’s was all in the first six months! The coolest part of my workouts though are when we are done. Because everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) recognizes each other for the hard work they just did. So if you think functional fitness isn’t for you, well, you are wrong! Stop by and chat with one of the coaches and attend a free community workout. There’s nothing like being a part of a group of people that encourage, support, and celebrate each other.”
