Before and After Weight Loss Story

Matt Loman, by now, should be a familiar face to most of you. He was referred to us as by Eric Cahill, Front Desk Associate, who was off jetsetting to the Hamptons over the summer. Eric and Matt were childhood friends in Indiana and Eric thought (rightly so!) that Matt would be a great backup for him.

Matt keeps himself busy by putting in 30+ hours manning the front desk, performing in a sketch comedy group called Moon County and, ultimately, working out like a fiend.

Stage fright, peer pressure and the over-abundance of mirrors at TRAIN finally pushed Matt to the edge. He embarked on a workout program with his co-worker/trainer, Alex Agurto.

At the outset, Matt weighed in at 275 lbs and now, after 3 months of arduous sweating and lifting, weighs an impressive 234 lbs! Woohoo!

Matt feels great and has a lot more energy. People are commenting on his new physique and he feels more comfortable on stage. Says Matt, “Certain foods are not worth it anymore. There’s no magic pill. It’s diet and exercise and it just can’t be cardio.” Congratulations Matt for a success story that continues!

Say hi to Matt next time you’re here at TRAIN. He’ll either be at the Front Desk or jabbing away at the heavy bag in the courtyard.

TRAIN 411…the latest and greatest – September 2009

Greetings!

We have to count our blessings that we are safe and sound from those horrid fires.  Can you imagine evacuating from your home (what to take with you?!)  and coming back to a charred ruin?  Quel horror!!! The minor inconveniences that have touched us here in our locale–the soot blanketing our cars, the extreme heat, the ash cloaking our normally sunny blue skies are bearable.  Really, people!

Yet, we have to be mindful that training outdoors can be unhealthy.  Self-serving as this sounds, it is wiser to be working out indoors and delay our hikes, runs and sporting events to later in the month when atmospheric conditions are optimal.  I know…I haven’t hit a tennis ball in weeks, yet, my training has not stopped.  Cycling, weight training and power plating right here at TRAIN continue unabated.

Celebrate Dr J’s bday on September 10th!  He loves chicken snacks and plush toys!

Studio SOMA is having a Bollywood Dance Workshop every Thursday at 8pm to 9pm with the people from Slum Dog. If you know of anyone that wants to take this workshop,please contact SOMA at (310) 289-9043. $20 for a single class or $15 per class if they buy four classes.

Feel blessed, value your health and stay fit!

Sincerely,
Mylene

Honor Labor!
