Joining LVL UP Fitness Studio has been the best decision of my life. When I first walked into the gym, I expected to be totally intimidated. Everyone looked like they belonged there and I felt so out of my element. But you have to be willing to take a risk, and this was the best risk I ever took. The truth is, it’s the most warm, inviting, and supportive environment I could have imagined. Far from intimidating. I’ve watched people come in nervous and unsure, just like me, and then literally become inspo in a matter of weeks!Now, don’t get me wrong — the first few months kicked my ass. I was sore. I wanted to quit. People told me I was too old, that it was too hard, that i was too old to start lifting weights. But something in me knew this was the right thing. I stuck with it, and my body adapted. My knees have never been better, I’m stronger than ever, and at 52, I honestly look better than I have in the last 20 years. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true!What I’ve learned is that LVL UP isn’t a transactional relationship where you pay a fee, show up for an hour, and go home. It’s a commitment. Plem, my trainer, is unquestionably tough, for no other reason than that he sees the limits you can’t see (aka potential) and it comes from a place of deep knowledge and even deeper caring. He puts so much into our training — making sure our form is right, pushing us through the reps, and holding us accountable for what we do outside the gym too. Over time things change and you realize he is right …it’s about the energy, the attitude, the focus, the discipline all the time not just in the gym. And he and Shy live it and show it. And it works, because the results are inevitable for virtually every client who sticks with it for 30, 60, 90 days and beyond. Seriously check out his insta… it’s insane and i still can’t believe I am one of those transformationsIt’s an elite training space, but it’s also a family . LVL UP has changed how I look at food, how I look at myself, and how I approach life. I have more confidence, more peace, and more strength than I ever imagined.It’s not easy, but if you’re willing to trust the process and do the work, the formula works. Last thing …ask anyone who trains there… they will tell you that their coach really cares and they have become a better version of themselves because of it.⸻
